Can no longer access my account - "incorrect login credentials" even though I know I correctly entered them several times.

lol yonce must be busy today, I get a lot of "This user is ignored messages". He must be going off on how much he knows about sites going under (what a subject to be an expert at!).

In any case, did you try doing the forgot password and resetting your password?

I don't think it takes anything more than common sense to see red flags and a facility to analyze a situation to realize the risks. I've not sent anything to btc-arbs support regarding wanting to get my legacy funds transferred back. Meanwhile, others who have been persistently squawking at them to get their money back are somehow being put in a priority list to get their fully legacy funds. Are they paying people off to shut them up? Some of these people getting paid back in full have WAY more BTC than I have, yet their audits were fast tracked to completion faster than mine? Would a company doing legitimate audits sacrifice their audit procedures just satisfy a few? And for the few who can claim they've been paid back in full, how many more are not being paid? I'm still only getting 0.0001 BTC back a day. I wouldn't be surprised if I get my BTC back after this post. I'm a relatively cheap buy-off.

Those who have been paid back in full have no legitimate evidence that btc-arbs is a scam, yet they themselves would still call it a scam. What evidence do they have when compared to what btc-arbs has plainly said they would do: 1) acquisition, 2) audits, 3) small legacy funds, 4) eventual return of all funds. As far as what I can tell, btc-arbs has been GOOD on their word. So, when those people call out "scam", its incredibly easy for the newcomer to ignore those people as paranoid freaks or have some other agenda in mind. It's a win for btc-arbs and relative cheap for them to do assuming they have plenty of other accounts to hold on to.

Do not forget that this discussion forum is only an incredibly minute fraction of all the accounts they may have. Not everyone with an account on btc-arbs is active on this forum. The "downtime" was barely 24hrs. Not everyone is checking their account every 12 hours. It would have been easy enough to miss the whole downed site fiasco, log in and see the acquisition notice (ok, no big deal), observe that they are doing what they said that they'd be doing with the legacy funds and small transfers (seem to be good on their word), see that daily interests are being missed, become impatient and deposit more funds in the regular funds to take advantage of the daily interests, only to set oneself up for double or triple the loss when/if the site closes down for good. I believe THAT is the scenario they could possibly be trying to take advantage of.

I don't understand why people are flipping out over the notion that such a scenario is entirely possible. Also, I get impression that the common consensus here is "We're not gonna flat out call btc-arbs a scam, but I'll be damn if I leave my money in there". If it's not a scam, then why not leave your money in there. Yet, when some tries to explain the possible scam it's met with "shut up, you have another agenda". I don't get it.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL c'mon man. They'll pay a few people to shut up and then close up shop!

BTC-Arbs admins: my username is gellison4 if you want to shut me up. Wink

It's been done before, you never know
