Topic: Livecoin.net Scam - page 3. (Read 13625 times)

I'm bumping this thread just to relay my experience yesterday and today with Livecoin--I'd never used them before, but they're one of the only exchanges that has Curecoin listed, and I wanted to buy some.

The bottom line for me is that I was able to deposit about $30 worth of bitcoin and convert it to and withdraw Curecoin, but it was a huge pain in the ass.  Right after I sent the bitcoin the site went into "maintenance mode" for about 18 hours during which time I couldn't log in.  That's one hell of a welcome for a new customer.

Then today I was finally able to log back in and do the trade, though they don't allow withdrawals until you've waited 5 minutes after you've logged in.  Maddeningly stupid.  My impression is that they're sort of like Yobit, which is hit or miss as far as reliability is concerned.  I was convinced in those 18 hours I was waiting that they'd just scammed me outright, but I was wrong.  I'm not sure if I'll be doing any more trades with them, however.

Edit:
And by the way, I did look at this thread before making a deposit with them.  I figured I'd just take a chance with a small amount, but I'm glad they didn't steal that from me.  I don't discount anything that OP or anyone else has said against Livecoin and this isn't to vouch for them.

Don't use Livecoin exchange - scam, they steal your coins without or with any shitty reasons.

Hi guys, how are you here!? Today I decided to go to the thread of this funny accusation and see if there is something new and was surprised to find that you are still pursuing these scammers and do not let them deceive anyone, although they do not lose hope.

Exactly a year has passed since the moment they belched another nonsense and left


and with them the black PR company disappeared from here.

Since then, even I somehow forgot about them, even about the fact that they stole 2k usd from me. And here they are again with the clear intention of deceiving someone. So let this black PR company follow them and everyone who helps them!

had problems with livecoin too.
their system of deleting past data of the excahge is quite shady.
had some TUBE on an open order there on the ETH markets and the balance is gone.
they refused to give me information on what happened to the deposit and to give me all the withdraw history from the account.

avoiding it.

I think giving anyone negative trust for advertising a scam is good.

Tagged.

You just did.

It's fine, to each their own of how to use the trust system as it's built like a democracy

I used to think it could be a good idea too but I realized that if you go there it's going to be hard to draw a line of what is considered a scam. Would it be when one user opens one scam accusation (which perhaps much later is resolved)? I don't want to try and sway you or tell you how to handle trust though. If you were to give negative trust to these participants it's not like I would give you negative trust for it, but I might be a bit biased when it comes to Livecoin, so all good!

I wouldn't give them red trust simply for advertising Livecoin, I'll just leave a neutral along the lines of "promotes livecoin scam" similar to the neutral feedback yobit advertisers got for promoting Investbox and x10 in their signatures.

A red trust for a sig ad wouldn't be proper use of the trust system anyway.

As far as I can remember, there are members here who participated in their last campaign and never received a neg tag. So what makes it different today?

I think giving anyone negative trust for advertising is bad.

But the fact that they have to wear a big prominent signature and avatar with "LIVECOIN" all over it gives them away, no matter how secret Livecoin Manager conducts the campaign.

By the very nature of how campaigns work, if you don't wear their signature, then you can't advertise for them 

I really don't have an issue with the PM only / locked thread.
Nor do I have an issue with people getting tagged if they wear the sig.

With a BIG BUT.
There is a small, but non zero chance that if you are not looking in the Scam Accusations / Reputation section you might have missed all the drama.
If you tag, you really should let the person know and give them the chance to pull the sig.

As of this post I'm wearing the Roobet signature. If they are in the middle of an exit scam I would never know about it because I have really not been in the gambling section for a while.
I really think a friendly PM would be better before a red tag.

Just my view.

The way Livecoin conducted this bounty campaign with closed topic and in secret over PM, gives other members all the right to take action as they want, especially if we know history of Livecoin here.
I am sure negative or neutral feedback will follow from many.

Apparently, 15 blokes already applied and got accepted there: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.55284969

I don't know about you guys but I will take it upon myself personally to tag such users I see wearing their signature.

This is their signature:
