Re: Have you seen Yobit's new signature design?

It shouldn't be a categorical offense to promote an exchange that is providing some valid services, simply because some other fringe products it offers are highly likely to lead to investors losing money...
But, Yobit have actually gone as far to say that "Everyone will get paid" which is not true, and they know that isn't true. Usually, when you invest in something in has the potential of going up because its an actual promising idea. However, here Yobit are highly likely to just drop the token whenever they want, and promote another to start the process all over again.

Promoting their exchange? I think I'm fine with users promoting their exchange as despite some complaints here, and there I don't think they have been outright scamming anyone. Although, I'd probably advise against using their exchange personally, but that's for personal reasons against a company that is operating this little side gig of theirs which I'm not going to hold others to the same values.

Promoting their InvestBox? Yeah, I am absolutely going to encourage others to not advertise that.

Or you can buy whatever you want.
Okay, so you use a mixer for buying things that are illegal. Okay, I'm assuming you use Tor or a VPN while doing this. Are we going to outright claim that anyone advertising Tor is lacking of morals? I don't know about you, but I don't use Tor for the "darkweb" or anything malicious. I use it when I want privacy. I've recently gone into this. I've used my home IP address on this forum because I trusted theymos with that information, yet since becoming a moderator I've had to use Tor Browser, and VPN's when visiting external links that are in reports. That doesn't mean I'm encouraging the use of malicious acts with Tor, and I have advertised, and encouraged others to protect their privacy with the likes of a VPN, and the Tor Project.

We could have this discussion all day long about morals. We are all going to have our own moral compasses, and I'm not blaming users if they're conflicted here, and that's why many users are trying to offer their input. However, comparing Chipmixer with an investment scheme promising that everyone gets paid is like comparing the black plague with a common cold.

Mixers don't usually advertise that their customers will earn interest, neither do they advertise the fact that you can use it to money launder. They advertise you have a right to privacy, just like the Tor Project, and VPN's. Here's an example of why I would personally use a mixing service. If you're a user on  a public forum which has posted an address with a lot of Bitcoin in, then you could potentially become a target to hackers or even physical threat if your identity is known. This is where you can use a mixer to mix your coins to different addresses.
