FTR. Could have been just ineptitude but deleting the post suggests something to hide.

Does not reflect well on Yobit and Bittrex, apparently they will happily list any old rubbish.

A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by the starter of a self-moderated topic. There are no rules of self-moderation, so this deletion cannot be appealed. Do not continue posting in this topic if the topic-starter has requested that you leave.

You can create a new topic if you are unsatisfied with this one. If the topic-starter is scamming, post about it in Scam Accusations.

This is a cynical and exploitative minimalist reworking of Diggits. The greedy little scrote behind this casual con doesn't even bother to make an effort, it's apparently so easy to reel in the punters.

Apologies to those who have already gambled and lost on this play, all I can suggest is that you deepen your research next time.

The con is revealed by a a misplaced source code file containing a unique marker, an edit failure made by the RubyCoin dev in omitting to correct a reference to ReddCoin:

case mBTC: return QString("mRDD");

The error has been preserved in blissful ignorance by a couple of clueless devs, allowing it to stand as mute evidence of a slapdash copynpasta effort giving the lie to any promises made in the ANN and, basically, giving the game away entirely.

Here's the github search string that reveals the half-dozen instances where the line of code appears:
https://github.com/search?q=case+mBTC%3A+return+QString%28%22mRDD%22%29%3B&type=Code

And here's the detailed evidence...

iBITS
https://github.com/ibitsteam/ibits-src/blob/master/src/bitcoinunits.cpp#L42
Code:
QString BitcoinUnits::name(int unit)
{
    switch(unit)
    {
    case BTC: return QString("iBIT");
    case mBTC: return QString("mRDD");                         <- CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
    case uBTC: return QString::fromUtf8("μiBIT");
    default: return QString("???");
    }
}

Diggits
https://github.com/DiggitsSquad/Diggits-Src/blob/master/src/bitcoinunits.cpp#L42
Code:
QString BitcoinUnits::name(int unit)
{
    switch(unit)
    {
    case BTC: return QString("DIGS");
    case mBTC: return QString("mRDD");                         <- CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
    case uBTC: return QString::fromUtf8("μDIGS");
    default: return QString("???");
    }
}

It makes a compelling argument to view the iBITS dev and the Diggits dev as one and the same person.

I am sorry for your loss.

Cheers

Graham
