eXch - Official Announcements and Discussion Thread

[examplens]

I am impressed by the fast results as well. The considerable amount of the reward certainly attracted many participants.

I think that the domains  which are not impersonating exch directly are more complicated to be removed. They just have links to phishing domains

Both domains you mentioned are registered with Namecheap. I don't know about the others, but so far I have only received an automatic reply from them and information that they have many applications and that they will inform me when they process mine.

What is a likely scenario, Namecheap will ask the owners of those sites to remove malicious links and will suspend the domain only if they do not do so. The owner of those sites can remove pages with phishing links and create new ones later, which will require the report procedure again.
So, a very long and complicated process.

Do you have that phishing campaign going on here on Altcointalks?

As far as I know it's only on Bitcointalk, there isn't such a campaign on Altcoinstalks.

Might want to fix your quote, since it's leading to the (inexistent) topic id from the other forum: "The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you."

Good call, I think. It seems more common to fall for phishing websites when your domain is a bit unusual, .net is a lot easier to remember.

AFAIK, There are no rank or account creation date restrictions, so you can join. Registering for a Bitcointalk account doesn't take long time.

He should also keep in mind that it is not enough just to sign up for the campaign, but also to perform the task well.

Another super initiative from eXch:

We are excited to announce our donation of 2 BTC to the developer of the MMGen multicurrency wallet in the transaction ID b97638e1c0de516e99689034fa303ca205b5dffbd67848beb3f01bf9b3829d59

This wallet is being actively developed since 2014 and received almost no donations or community attention since that it deserves. This donation is to express our appreciation to its author for their continuous work for past 11 years. We have also added it to the wallet recommendation section on our website.

Forwarding another communication from eXch on the other forum:

NOTIFICATION OF UPCOMING CHANGES

[April 2025] eXch is about to merge with a company in another jurisdiction and leave the company in Belize. We will have new shareholders and new members on the management board. This merger is related to our decision to sell half of our company in order to reduce risks for our founding team and guarantee that we can continue operating without giving up our values. Our new partners are longtime Bitcoin and privacy enthusiasts whom we trust.

[April 2025] We are aware that there is an ongoing operation targeting our service by some law enforcement agencies with the goal of adding us to the OFAC sanctions list and possibly seizing our infrastructure (good luck to them, nevertheless). Since it's primarily coming from U.S.-based agencies, we will update our ToS to inform our users in the U.S. not to use our service and warn them about the risks of being prosecuted in their country for using a service like ours. Since we have no logs or any IP-detecting capabilities, we won't be able to enforce this policy; thus, we can't be held responsible for any regulatory violations. We have already developed a legal framework to ensure that the responsibility for regulatory violations is applied to our customers and not to us, which will also be outlined in the ToS. This might also apply to some countries in EU with the worst recent regulatory updates that target privacy services, however, it's not confirmed yet.

[July-August 2025] We will delist USDT and USDC from our platform in order to provide stablecoin exchanges on dynamic addresses without risks for us. Unfortunately, operating USDT and USDC is not possible on non-static addresses without the risk of them being blacklisted by Circle and Tether. Thus, the stablecoin we will provide is DAI, which is the only reliable and non-custodial stablecoin currently available that has no address blacklist functionality in its smart contract. Since many of you may have already noticed, we have stopped operating our ETH liquidity on our old aggregation address (0xf1da173228fcf015f43f3ea15abbb51f0d8f1123) because the transparency we provided was not valued but instead abused. Therefore, we see no reason to continue operating on our static addresses given the high level of toxicity from the whitehat industry directed at our service. The same applies to our BTC aggregation address - the pool now uses one-time change addresses, as per the default Bitcoin Core configuration, so nobody can associate the outputs with eXch as easily as before.

I see big changes in eXch, and I am not surprised to see this.
They first changed domain to .net, exchange ownership and location is changed, and now they are delisting all stablecoins USDT and USDC
This changes are needed to keep eXch alive and functional, but it will take some time for everyone to get used to changes.

Guys, I have a question that you might know the answer.

Anyone tried to send BTC from Exch straight to binance?

I need to transfer some BTC to a partner, but I have some USDT, so my idea would be to use exch as a bridge and send those BTC straight to binance.

I believe it is safe, as exch has several btc addresses

According to https://exch.net/faq, it's still safe to send to

Binance, Coinbase, Gate.io, HTX, Kraken, Gemini, OKX, Kucoin, and Poloniex (this list is being reviewed daily).

They say they review that list daily.


I don't use Binance, but I sent some coins to a no-KYC exchange (but I'm sure they use Binance in the backend), and everything went well.

Yeah a friend of mine from Bitcointalk's FR locale regularly receives eXch's coins on his Binance account and he never had any problem as far as I know.

[examplens]

I think that every check on Binance largely depends on the amount that is sent. I'm pretty sure that amounts up to a few thousand $ do not attract special attention, especially if the user account had a proper history of transactions.
If an anomaly occurs, such as a sudden increase in deposits, it will definitely set off alarms and possibly an additional check.

After the World Food Program USA (https://www.wfpusa.org) announced they accept Bitcoin (https://www.wfpusa.org/news-release/wfp-usa-now-accepts-cryptocurrencies/), we have just made a donation of 1 BTC to their organization:
