Topic: Forget about exchanger search! Use BestChange! - page 16. (Read 13341 times)

Oh the irony of this fake comment being shown in public for more than one month, and in the same time we can't see any real negative feedback for most exchanges.
Last time BestChange said they are working on improving feedback system was months ago, and I don't see anything really changed in good direction.
Now I can see only one single negative review for all exchange, and everything else was ''resolved''  

Thank you! This is really a very interesting idea. Indeed, so far, we have only translated the text materials for the partners, and we haven’t made new banners yet. But the very essence of your idea isn’t directly connected to the new languages, that is why it can be realized independently.

Yes, we will think about how we can realize it. We can’t promise it will appear in the near future, but the idea is wicked, we will make everything it takes to implement it.


We have several layers of automatic protection; however, it is the human who has the last word before deleting the review. The case you have described is unacceptable, thank you for highlighting this problem. Moderators who allowed this blatant advertising were reprimanded, and the message was instantly deleted. On top of that, regulations for checking all suspicious reviews were reinforced, so that in future such messages wouldn’t get through and mislead users.

Thank you for your signal.

I have a question.

How do you deal with a fake review scenario?  Like in this example below.


obviously the person who left the review is trying to advertise a likely scam in aramezglobal.com
I have seen types reviews advertising another scam in trust pilot too... How do you deal with them in your platform? or you just let it be?

No, 50x150 is very small for a regular PC screen.
I think about automated size ads. So, an ad from the same place can be in various sizes, depending on the user's screen display. I use a similar thing when I place ads from Google Adsense. In this way, I always get a proportionate banner and all with the same code.

This is a nice update.
I would suggest one more update, which would certainly be useful. At a time when mobile devices are quite popular, the fixed size of the banner can be a complication for such users. it is almost a mandatory standard for a website to be responsive, and this is much more difficult to achieve with fixed-size images.
just an idea if you already want to make the work of promoters easier.

🥳Dear users, we’ve got an update for the participants of the BestChange affiliate program.

👍 Now the text materials in the personal account are available in several languages: English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Polish.

They contain examples for describing the monitor which have already been published on many sites.

We are doing our best to make our service even more convenient and functional for you.

❓ What is a rating of an exchanger in the payment system?

Going to the page of any exchanger on BestChange (to do this, you need to click on the number of reviews after choosing a payment direction), you will see such indicators as Advanced Cash TS, WebMoney BL, Perfect Money TS. What do they mean, and why sometimes there are numbers, and sometimes a dash?

The thing is that some payment systems ascribe levels to the users. This helps other users understand if they can trust this service. For example:

✅ Advanced Cash Transaction Score

✅ WebMoney Business Level

✅ Perfect Money Trust Score

If instead of rating there is a dash, it means the exchanger doesn’t work with this payment system, correspondingly, does not have a rating in it or it’s not important. Please pay attention to the listed indicators, if you are planning to work with one of these payment systems via the exchanger.

In addition, on the page of the exchanger, you can see the “MyWOT Rating” parameter. Web Of Trust is an add-on for assessing the security of a site and based on the results of its check, you can determine whether the site is trustworthy. Mostly, in the check, the opinion of users is considered.

Marks of exchangers in the list — what can you learn from them?

BestChange has developed a system of icons characterizing the peculiarities of an exchanger. We recommend you make a habit of paying attention to them, then you will be able to understand in a second which exchanger won’t suit you. It saves time — otherwise, you had to visit the website, create an order for an exchange, and, perhaps, only then learn that you need to verify your card or some other nuances.

Here are some exchanger characteristics that we mark with icon:

🔹 Manual or semiautomatic mode is used.

🔹 Additional commissions are charged.

🔹 Registration, card or documents verification is needed.

🔹 The service has a built-in online wallet.

🔹 Transfers are made from a legal entity or a third-party payment system.

🔹 There are holds when paying.

And many more. For example, if you exchange cash, we will inform you that the exchanger delivers it at a fee. We will also inform you about a floating rate and other important things. Don’t forget to pay attention to the marks — all you need to do is to hover your mouse over them to learn the details.

Exchanger reserves: why is it important?

Reserves are a total quantity of means on the account of a service, which allows to freely perform exchange in different directions. On BestChange, all exchangers have reserves not less than $10, 000. However, famous and popular exchangers have much more significant reserves.

Currently, the monitor works with 230+ exchangers, the total reserves of which constitute $11 billion (the relevant number can be seen in the section “Exchangers” -> “Statistics”).

❓ Why is it important to pay attention to the reserves of an exchanger?

It is simple — an exchanger won’t be able to pay for an order, the amount of which is higher than the reserves it has for a specific payment direction. For example, if the reserves are just 10,000 Advanced Cash, you won’t be able to sell 15,000 Advanced Cash to the exchanger. That’s why you should always pay attention to this indicator when choosing a service with the help of the monitor — it is shown in the table where suitable services are specified. Usually, the exchangers in the BestChange listing do not have problems with reserves.

We are trying to keep information relevant and require the exchangers to timely update information about their reserves.

How do we choose which exchangers to add to the listing?

We receive quite a lot of requests for adding exchangers to the monitor BestChange. We, in turn, put forward strict requirements that the service must meet. Users’ safety is a priority.

Here are just a few key parameters that BestChange pays attention to when making a decision.

✅ Long term of a successful work — six months minimum. There can be exclusions, for instance, if the exchanger was launched by a famous exchange or another service.

✅ The functionality of the website must include an order form available without registration, an affiliate program, and a full-fledged English version.

✅ Total reserves must be no less than 10,000 USD.

✅ Protected HTTP connection.

✅ Specified contacts of the website creators.

In some cases, we ask the owners for identity verification.

✅ Design or name must be unique and not copy the already listed exchangers to not confused the users.

Every listing application is thoroughly manually checked. We do not work with exchangers that have a bad reputation on the internet. You can analyze them yourself — click on the number of reviews in the table for selecting an exchanger and you will get on its page and learn more detailed information including the term of work and the country of registration.

Of course. We track about 20 different parameters for the left reviews in order to eliminate the majority of possible violation. It’s a closed list for everyone except our team, and it is quite problematic to find the connection by random guessing. Moreover, in separate cases we can conduct a linguistic analysis if the moderators get suspicious while not having direct proof of the review having been ordered.
We don’t exclude that a small portion of relatively
We do not exclude the possibility of some small share of relatively reliable commissioned reviews getting into publication, we do have over 1,13 million reviews in the database, it is impossible to thoroughly check them all. But any evident lie will be fully removed by our moderators very soon after finding out suspicious regularity, rest assured.
As for the suspicious activity due to the usage of VPN, unfortunately, this is a negative trend in the countries where most of the Russian speaking users reside. But we will continue to track a dozen of other parameters which are hard to fake simply by proxy or VPN, that’s why all the new reviews will also be as thoroughly checked as before.


Thank you for clarification. Indeed, English-language (and other ones) are collected on .com version of the website, while Russian ones (and a part of other Slavic languages) are collected on .ru / .net versions of the website.
Although examplen’s question was more to do with a large number of Russian-language reviews being published with IP of other countries.

It looks like a feature, not a bug. Try changing the ".ru" into ".com": https://www.bestchange.com/coinshop24-exchanger.html: it shows mostly English but also some other languages.

this discussion https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60898308 started me thinking about another potential misuse of your trust rating system.
coinshop24 exchanger has many positive feedbacks, sound fine for them. but as far as possible, are all reviews in Russian? even those from Germany, England, Sweden or Poland (at least that's what your IP detection says). Honestly, I'm sure a VPN is used for this, and probably all feedback was made by their ^coinshop24 team.
do you have a way to manage this kind of fake feedback?

After reading here about faucet I also try in last four days and strange I have only 36 Satoshi from my 34 tries, surely just waste of time if they are giving only 1 or 2 Satoshi.

There is no need to use the same browser, the linking is specifically to the address. But bear in mind that we use advanced algorithms of tracking suspicious activity for protections against the scripts of autoclaimers, and a frequent change of a browser is one of the factors because of which the system will automatically reduce accruals to minimal possible – 1 satoshi.


The task is already with our developers, and it has been described, but not implemented yet due to a large amount of functions it will affect. We will certainly inform about the changes when they happen in a separate publication/

We never mentioned “normal distribution” for the system of satoshi distribution, but the chance to receive double-digit accruals is still very high. There are lots of topics on the internet where users share their success. For example, https://mmgp.com/threads/bestchange-com-btcfaucet.475808/page-64

Of course, they receive such amounts not at every claim, they stably receive them. The thing is there are lots of claimers and at some point, the system can debit small amounts only because of the fact that accruals of all participants are linked together by the common formula. That’s why, even if you bring an army of bots to our faucet, the unscrupulous user will not benefit from this.

On the other hand, we don’t ask for anything in return. We don’t have ads, re-directing, trojans or hidden miners – all you need to do is to come, click and receive.

Alas, we have set this threshold due to specifics of blockchain. More frequent and small transfers will cause a DDoS-attack to the mempool and can paralyze not only the work of our faucet, but also harm the eco system as a whole.
As a compromise, we consider an option of integrating Lightning Network in our faucet to have an opportunity to send all accruals to the wallets and not accumulate them on the balance. But at the time being this idea is at the stage of discussions of conception, we are not sure that it will be implemented due to the low popularity of this Layer2-solution among the users of our faucet.

Unfortunately, we have to set as hard as possible tasks for scripts, sometimes they annoy real users, but otherwise we will have to completely close the faucet, because abuse of it is enormous, and we want to give our bonuses away only to real people and not to bot army owners.

yes, I tried it, seems very complicated for the 2 satoshis I got 
I still think that a faucet is placed on a website just to boost visits and traffic in order to influence a better google ranking.

Are you using some kind of cookies for this, or we can use different browsers including Tor to solve captcha and receive sats to the same bitcoin address?

On a different subject, what is happening with improving your feedback system and negative reviews? Any changes or you are still using same stuff like before?
I honestly don't see any changes on my end.

Thank you for your question, Ratimov!

Exchangers can pay in different ways, we do not put limitations as to the number of transactions. Before an exchanger, you can find out on your own in the exchanger’s support how specifically the payments are made.

Things you need to check before exchanging your money

You’ll agree that you can only trust your money to such services that deserve this trust. We would like to elaborate on the criteria for choosing an exchanger and what role the monitor plays in it.

BestChange checks thoroughly every exchanger before adding it to the website and continues to watch its reliability and reputation. That’s why the risks for the user are minimal. To ensure their relations with the large monitor are smooth, exchangers try to solve the problems described in reviews timely.

Several lifehacks how to choose exchangers through BestChange:

If you see negative feedback, you can check whether the exchanger has reacted and if the situation is solved.

* Pay attention to the exchanger’s work duration. Usually, we do not include in the monitor services that have been working less than six months, but the longer the service has been working, the better.

* Pay attention to the available reserves — a large amount of money for all directions guarantees that the funds will be enough for everything.

The quality sign of an exchanger is it having passed through an additional check and is in possession of official registration. Please study this information, together with user reviews, the working state of the website, and the current rating on the monitor.

If you are choosing an exchanger yourself, without our help, we recommend you study at least three factors. Firstly, check if the service is listed on blacklists and read the reviews on them on independent platforms. Secondly, check the registration of the domain name on https://who.is/whois/. If the domain is only several days old, you should give the exchanger a wide berth no matter how attractive its rates are. Thirdly, the domain should not be placed on free hosting.

Be attentive, and have a great exchange!
