Hmm this is quite an eye opening situation to many investors and promoters out there. I dont know much about this ICO but I suggest everyone to take note of things like these before investing.

Scam??  Roll Eyes

unfortunately some people are still promoting them,they want to continue with their so called lots of projects,this ethbits investors should look at scam sections,because the thread is moderated and they want full control on what are  going to show in their threads it's right that we give them red tag.

Just reading the WP revealed they're quite clueless, it's full of general empty words, almost no technical details

I agree this project has many red flags. First of all it's like they don't bother at all with the name of the token, and the platforms; seriously? ETHBits, and iTrade?

Also spoke to a team representative, seems like they don't know what they're doing. Proposing a social trading platform to be completed by late 2018 with no MVP in sight, and no way to explain what the social trading site is other than it is their own exchange.

They also seem to have no consideration for feedback from experts or the community. Staying far away.

Lets see how he will answer to this questions

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18677484
There are 2 types of hacking: hacking the entire network (for example - find and use bugs in blockchain) and exchange platform bugs and erros.
For the first type - It will be not only Ethbits users problems, it will be a global catastrophe for each crypto users and exchanches.
This is complete nonsense. If they implement bugs whilst developing coins, and said bugs get exploited, in no way does that affect any other cryptocurrency.

For the second type - My team is developing 100% secure and successful high-load projects for customers.
There is no such thing as 100% secure. This is either being developed by amateurs or by scam artists.

This has too many red flags. I've left a negative rating and suggest that others do the same (@Gleb).

Used to be a participants in their signature campaign and even agree that they create a moderated thread but after seeing people posting about the immaturity of the devs of not addressing those legit questions I left and did not bother that I have been a participant for two weeks .

2. Me: What will be the guarantee that your exchange cold storage where people traders will put money wont get hacked.
    EthBits dev from telegarm: I (he uses I statement so i think it was one of the major founders) have a lot of security experience so EthBits exchange wont get hacked ever.

3. Me: But you cant guarantee that. Especially on new fresh exchange where not everything is properly programmed.
    EthBits dev from telegarm: Yes, i can't guarantee that. All can be possible.
If you had a screenshot of this, I'd tag them right away. It seems that the people behind the projects are either immature kids or just outright idiots/liars. "Won't get hacked ever". Roll Eyes

I'll give it some more thought before proceeding.

I've been suspicious of the project ever since I've seen it. I've been inclined to give them a negative rating for a while now. They also employed an unstable blackmailer as their campaign manager.

I'd like to see more examples of reasonable questions regarding the project being completely censored.

my posts keep getting deleted as well - I have added another negs with archive.is link to ethbits user profile.

Yep, I remember Black Arrow employed a script to automatically delete posts of users posting on their venerable thread sounding alarms. Alex Sovu was exposed from day one and folks still sent that fucker millions.

The questions and answers were.

1. Me: What are the reasons of why you are making a centralized exchange on blockchain?
    EthBits dev from telegarm: Starting a new exchange is very costly. We need money for it. (I assure you that was the answer!)

2. Me: What will be the guarantee that your exchange cold storage where people traders will put money wont get hacked.
    EthBits dev from telegarm: I (he uses I statement so i think it was one of the major founders) have a lot of security experience so EthBits exchange wont get hacked ever.

3. Me: But you cant guarantee that. Especially on new fresh exchange where not everything is properly programmed.
    EthBits dev from telegarm: Yes, i can't guarantee that. All can be possible.

4. Me: So you are trying to make a centralized exchange like Polo on investors money and there is no reason why you should be developing it on blockchain because the percenatage profit from holding coins will be so small that inverstors won't notice it? Like Vdice making a profit % payment every month to a coin holders and this % is very small to the point where there is no reason of it?
  EthBits dev from telegarm: You look like troll to me ................. banned


I can't give you screenshots of this conversation because deleting of me and my messages on telegram happen very fast i didnt managed to do something.

Long story short EthBits is banning and deleting people from telegram and bitcointalk posts for regular questions regarding platform.
I wasnt the only one who got banned from there.

Here the messages that were deleted from their post


jenifive, you can fud around right after it gets listed on the exchange. there would be no use of that comments as for now. nothing has yet stolen.  Grin
meanwhile its verified they were on coinfest Smiley



saw the photos on https://goo.gl/photos/yeiv7b2JYt2GMm4x9 shared by a user here in the forum.
I would only be glad if EthBits is become legit project but their behaviour to people questions and concernes and bans and message deleting give me reason to avoid investing in such project at all costs. Which I want to warn everyone about that.

jesus christ. you can't wait til the ico is over. what would you guys like to do stop the ico? it already had started. if its going to stop, it will take time before the refunds be processed. my suggestion is to create your own unmoderated thread on ethbits, ain't that hard to do?
I aint got a problem about ico. I got problem that someone deleting my messages without explanations and answers to it.


Their original forum post

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1852294.200

I wouldn't trust to them. Dudes cant't even hadle a simple quesions and choose to ban people. I wouldn't dare to give money to them or trading on their exchange.








The same happen with ahother guys






Update:

EthBits devs continue deleting my messages from their post without any explanation on why they are doing it.



As i predicted i was banned from their subreddit
