Hi,
We run a small exchange and had TIPS on the votelist. however this morning we received quite an angry email from someone in this thread stating that we are working with the scammer and have agreed to do the coin swap.
Im not sure where this information came from, But we have not agreed to any coin swap as we don't even have TIPS listed on our exchange.
We have temporarily removed TIPS from the votelist until we can find out more about the accusations against us regarding this coin.
Thanks

Hi, on the bitcointalk forum is a ilegal takeover attempt on TIPS/Fedoracoin. Sadly i can see you already got informed about this and that you already posted aout that issue (coin swap). So here is the whole story: Me and some other ppl from fedoracoin community are trying, since end of february 2016, to go for a community friendly takeover. No hidden stuff, we are discussing everything with the community. So 2-3 days ago, a totally fresh regeistered fedoracoindev on bitcointalk just posted "hey, we will takover tips change block count, change this and this and hey we give a shit about the community". The Mods on bitcointalk deleted the takeover ANN and also blocked the fedoradev account. Yesterday fedoradev2 was registered and openend a new ANN thread on bitcointalk. He said he already contactd you on BTER for getting the swap ready. So here is the point: THIS IS SCAM, please don't get fooled: - he is talking about haveing same amount of TIPS in total (ever being mined), but already there are more TIPS than ever would have been possible to mine - He is talking about changeing scrypt to sha256 -> the community doenst want it to be changed - he is saying you are going to organize the coinswap: BIG PROBLEM HERE --> on cryptsy there are severall billion coins stuck. I asked him 3 times what about these coins, after 3. question he realized that ppl dont trust him and he replied: "we know about that issue and we will work on it". Seriously whats that kind of an answer? - The user only has 11 posts now, all on the Fedoracoin topic, me and other ppl are posting with our personal accounts on bitcointalk, i rly feel not well about tis guy posting such stuff like this without even telling who he/they are. I rly hope you change your mind, otherwise you might lose TIPS on your exchage, because the Community is already voteing and ALSO PAYING BTC for haveing it added on other exchagnes, I Like bter exchange, but seriously if you fuck this up and if you cooperate with such a scammmer, you rly might lose much respect on the community. I would be pleased receiving a messag from you. I am a honored man with more than 400 posts on bitcointalk,i am active on the BTC community since 2013. If you need any further informations or anything, please feel free contacting me. You can contect me here on my given emailadress. Please realy contact me before TIPS got completely destroyed.
