Hey guys,

I am new to this forum, but I googled "btc2money legit" and found this forum trying to find out if this site is a scam or not. I joined here to give you a heads up on my experience so far with this site.

I just started using it today for the first time. Looking up the whois for it, I see it is only a 1 month old website, which puts up a red flag for me, but hey everything was new at one point, so I gave it a shot.

I started off selling their minimum at .1 btc which was about $70 worth. I ended up receiving the money to my paypal in literally 15 minutes! Sweet! So I thought about it, and decided to go for a bit bigger gamble.

About 2 hours later I decided to sell about .7 btc at $500. This time things didn't go as smooth. Now they did send me this email though pretty promptly:


---------
Hello,

We received your payment, but we like to notify you that there may be some delays with withdrawal because our payment system is not working at the moment (denial-of-service attack).

We will keep you updated.

So this kind of freaked me out. I'm like really? A DOS attack right when I put in a big order a few hours later? That's when I started searching around for if this site was a scam or not. Well I came upon some good knowledge that put me a bit at ease.

I looked at where my payment came from on Paypal, and it was "Virtual World Services GmbH" or virwox.com, one of the top BTC trading websites around. I visited their site, and sure enough, they had just posted a warning:


---------
2014-02-12: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT : BITCOIN WITHDRAWALS SUSPENDED!

Warning
Because of a denial-of-service attack against the Bitcoin protocol, we have to suspend Bitcoin withdrawals temporarily until a software fix is issued.
---------


So it seems some rare issue happened at virwox preventing them to send out btc. So for now, it doesn't seem like they are trying to scam me out of $500. I did ask for a refund in btc though because this might take a few days to resolve, but I haven't heard a response yet. Will post again when things change.
