Expose---Big article  in print version of Bitcoin Magazine on BitMit was released about a week ago

"BitMit Bitcoin Auction is with Bits but Without a Face "

here's the first para

"Just a five minute walk from the Hong Kong Ngau Tau Kok Metro Station is Flat B20/F, Infotech Center No.21 Hung To Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong. This is the address given on the contact page of Bitmit. “Kwun Tong is a district where traditional Chinese culture and modern technology can be found,” boasts the “Fun in Kwun Tong” Website.

This has just been added to the announcement on the website;

"There has not been any hack, missing funds etc. but we think that such a site should be run by a more professional business entity"

I really like the service.

Any idea how much it would cost to buy the website?

Does this mean Bitmit will be sold on Bitmit for a second time?  Wink

You're not the only one whose sense of recursive ridiculousness was tickled by that concept Smiley

You know, I'm thinking it may be related to this:

i dont sell £ banknotes

But you do sell items intended to defraud.  Tell me, do the fake plated bars you deal in have the word "plated" anywhere on them?

This is very disappointing to hear.
I think Bitmit is a great site and have had a few successful and smooth transactions on there.
I must admit, I am now slightly worried though. You are holding over 7 BTC in Escrow for me and my buyer should be confirming that he has received any day now.
Please tell me they will go into my BitMit wallet ok....it's about all I have in the world right now.

Oh, you sell counterfeit £100 notes too, I'll bet.  All above board, right?
Both of those items are used to scam people who buy them from who buys them off you.

I'm rather suprised that a viable alternative to amazon/eBay that lets me trade with BTC is facing closure.I was shocked as I only saw the notice earlier tonight.I hope the new owners will keep this site running.Thankfully I managed to get my last order finished.

phishing who?


I don't know who you are, uk1, or why you appear to be representing Bitmit (or is that the "royal we"?) but your posting history here is bizarre.  Page after page of "Welcome to the forum" in the newbies section doesn't enhance your credibility.

And then there is this thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2684836

What kind of person sells bars embossed ".999 Pure Gold/Silver", that are PLATED?
A scammer, that's who.
