Besides, is there actually proof of Yobit doing this, for the exact reasons you've mentioned?
Or is it just a coincidence?

What's a coincidence? What proof do you want of yobit being scammy?

Them actually disabling wallets of coins that are dropping in value?
For the record, I'm not saying this isn't the case, I've never used Yobit myself, nor have I heard about these claims.

All I've heard is that they're a shady exchange, but I've never really looked into it any further than that.

Why would I trade on Yobit, when there are dozens of other options out there that don't have such a negative reputation?

You look like full of shit here, just defending and already proven shady exchange under free of speech without any previous study on YoBit.

What you are doing is just drilling the thread and misleading people to think that its OK to promote an already proven shady exchange as there are no proofs while there are many.

Just check this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/yobit-scam-accusation-megathread-normal-modus-operandi-or-shady-practices-5134358 by AdolfinWolf, I am sure you would have an solid feeling of it being scam even though you have not used it before.

Sounds terrible, but really? Yobit is shady and non-customer support, but I did not see others complain about that. I could be wrong because maybe there are posts or threads on Yobit that I did not see so far. I remember about Callisto Network (CLO) coin. Yobit support that coin when it forked from Ethereum Classic many months ago, but during early days (or even weeks), they don't allow users to make deposits. They just allow users whom received Callisto Network on their sites to sell CLO coins.

Probably some delisting like most exchanges that host a load of coins.

Any coins that are left on their exchange are taken away and used at their discretion. That's why you should control your own keys... otherwise you're at the whim of some third-party entity.

I wasn't aware that they'd started a campaign yet again after their ban, since I have signatures blocked--but I'm not surprised that a lot of people woke up to participate in it.

It surprises me that you have signature ads on block when you're in one yourself, sound's funny to me. Normally when forum members come out to declare they have the signature or avatar feature disabled, they usually aren't participants of the system (signature campaign). I mean what's the profit in not giving others the opportunity to sell their product to you when you do sell your to them in the same manner (signature space). No offense, just need charity from your angle.

This is somewhat ironic indeed.

I would say that disabling avatars and signatures makes one's forum experience more streamlined. Less clutter and fixation on individual users. Rather, you focus on the posts themselves.

Dissociating the person from the argument is what allows for honest discussion.

BTC price road to $80k

Quote from: tranthidung on July 02, 2019, 12:39:20 PM

I don't think so. Even when a project is a proven scam one, participants of that project will have an acceptable period of time to take their avatars and signatures off. Maybe from 24 hours to 72 hours (as I saw in what happened with DuckDice.io's campaign). For Yobit, there is no solid proof to prove that that scam. Consequently, DT members can not raise a Warning for Yobit participants, like what they did with Duckdice.io.
However, thing will be changed if someday Yobit proven as a real scam exchange, not a 'suspected' scam one.

I have a past experienced from 2016 to 2017 about shitcoin before. I tried to withdraw them because I would like to hold them for a long time after the price drop to 1 sat/byte but the wallet is under maintenance I tried to keep login daily and wait for the update but it remains "under maintenance".

After 2018 I tried to open my account again and check if I can withdraw the coins out from the yobit because the price was increased but my coins are gone.

This is the only reason why I never used their service again. I can't give you proof but I believe many yobit users experience the same thing.

I dont have any proof but I have read and heard numerous stories that shows Yobits bad reputation. They have even admitted taking part in pump & dumps that are illegal in any regulated market and they are scamming unknowing participants of such campaigns who think they can profit from them.

This is merely a scam accusation and the forum doesn't handle issues such as this, instead of waiting for the forum to take action for you, it's up to you to try and much as possible not to deal with them.
A lot of awareness has been created on the said shady activities they carry out, and the forum has actually banned them for 60days, all this is basically to act as a deterrent to people that wish to work with them as they do so at their own peril.

With a lot of DTs being part of the conversation can we clear things out? So from my understanding if Yobit does another campaign here in the forum users who will participate in it won't be tagged by promoting a "suspected" scam exchange neither due to contributing spam in the forum? Wouldn't it be bad for our side especially when Yobit is doing nothing to prevent their participants from posting spammy content in the forum? The way I see it is the whole merit system wouldn't matter as long as this users are happy and contented from these kinds of sig campaigns.

Well yeah that goes without saying but I somehow misinterpreted the other poster’s statement to mean the exchange as a whole(which definitely has problems) and not with the sig campaign so my bad. @AdolfinWolf

Yobit is a CLEAR SCAM.

It switches off its wallets trapping traders coins on plummeting markets. Some have been off line for years with no response even when devs are contacting them.
These are coins that have fully working wallets there is no reason for them to take them off line.

Total shit hole should be blacklisted from this forum. Damages the entire movement when exchanges get to advertise here that are pulling this shit.

Scams aren't moderated. Freedom of speech prevails, it's up to the users to check who they do business with.

This isn't going to change, I'm 99.9% sure of that. To me that's one of the cornerstones of this forum and I'm not saying that because I like scams being promoted or anything like that. If you want strict moderation of content, I think Reddit might be a better place for you Wink

They locked the thread due to lack of interest because participants are afraid they will get tag if they will participate in the campaign.

I'm of the opinion that Yobit campaigners shouldn't get tagged, because I don't think Yobit is truly a scam exchange. I know I'm probably in the minority there, but they've been in business for years and haven't absconded with their customers' funds like some other exchanges have, and I've used them with no problems whatsoever. They are shady, yes. Their customer service is non-existent, yes. But they don't rank up there with other flat-out scam exchanges.

Good to hear your stance on yobit.

I can agree that they are a shady exchange but not a scam exchange since I was not scam by the exchange yet and I would only like to say based on my experience and cannot conclude based on others since some scam accusations against yobit has no solid proof.

I heared a lot of rumours in the past months about the exchange Yobit. Not sure if they are all true, but I have used it for many transations and never had one problem. It's strange that they would hold another signature campaign, but if you're losing support you have to try and get your name out again, right?

You had no problems because not allowing people to withdraw is a very big red flag and if that happened you'd all run to every forum on the Internet to tell people about it. They won't steal your couple hundred dollars worth of crypto because it allows them to maintain a facade of a legitimate exchange and do the dirty work behind the scenes.
This includes manipulating the markets, listing scam coins for a hefty fee, most likely participating in pumps and dumps and running a ponzi scheme in the form of an "invest box". I wouldn't be surprised if they were laundering stolen coins as well.

Rubbish. They are the biggest & well known scam in crypto, just above the scam exchange you are prostituting yourself for.

Oke what has happened in the past with Yobit that everyone is calling them scammers?
Because I was in the Yobit campaign in 2016 and at that time they would pay out no problem!
So what happened last time because when I saw their signature campaign I was like nice I can join that again.
But when I read this topic and see your reactions I am doubting if I should still stay in it?

I don’t think it’s about the sig campaign at all but rather due to the fact that the exchange has a number of problems. This thread should have most of it https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/flag-request-yobit-exchange-5153493.

But, scams aren't moderated, so that shouldn't be the reason that the sig campaign isn't allowed.

It was rather the amount of spam it caused due to their lax posting policies (20 posts a day max etc), and no moderation of said campaign.

Are you sure? I may be wrong, but I remember an user saying that he got a payment (that was after the ban ended out).

I'm not sure, but i think i've seen BitBustah extolling the work of yobit, including him saying he got paid.
