I can see that many participants in the Rainbet campaign made requests for their payment addresses to be changed.
So, I guess those are the ones OP is talking about and who are using custodial addresses to receive their payments and who got affected by this false positive flag. Is that correct, OP?


Yes exactly many that are currently changing addresses are the participants that got affected so in as much as this not wrong having the similar address KuCoin has it’s policy and it is the reason why the affected participants using KuCoin were flagged. I created the thread after doing my research and it as awareness for myself and others why self custody is important even as little as receiving signature payment exchanges should be avoided.

What is the correlation between this all about with Kucoin?

This is the two address we're talking about, if the address was belong to centralized exchange, how can 2 weeks payment sitting in this address? it supposed to be moved to CEX's hot wallet whenever they received the coins.

Second address hasn't even moved the coins.

2. https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/bc1qg4arhl5fuep5tr9r2upplkj8qezur5hxnwxd8w

This mean, @OP is trying to mislead people by claiming both of them are wrong for using centralized exchanges address, when @OP and other users were the one who wrong in this case.

Just as some people usually say, lots do not comprehend after reading or they don’t read to comprehend, I don’t sound rude but you might simply read khaled0111 much better to understand if mine was not well constructed, there is no where on the thread where it was started that the two addresses belongs to centralized exchanges nor that they were the cause of the problem. The thread was explaining why users had their withdrawals suspended and why it is important to use self custody all the time. I didn’t say they used centralized exchange or that both accounts were wrong, but rather was again advocating other participants for more use of self custody to further prevent situations like this.

Most of us who used KuCoin
You and your friends, not us.

You’re not on Rainbet nor do I say you use KuCoin exchange, I am still baffled at your comment because it is clear that many of the participants were affected and the reason why they are changing bitcoin address to another one. So I don’t understand how it affected or didn’t affect you except maybe….

It is not an excuse for them to use the exchange's address and especially when blocks are filled with transaction paid fees lower than 1sat/vb. If anyone thinks that way then bookmark this thread for regular updates: [Aug 2025]Mempool empty, Consolidate your small inputs @0.27 sat/vbyte

Most people got used to this since the days of the network congestion and until now have been way too lazy and reluctant to change the address even after the network is busy, if you can check most signature campaign many participants are still using exchanges.

I have been bent over by the bot for this thread.
Honestly I am not understanding the root cause and why I was included in this thread.
Does Mempool think we are poisoning the payouts?
I will change the address of receipt of funds from the rainbet campaign I am part of

It was absolutely not your fault, and technically that wasn’t anything like address poisoning but it just tagged so by the exchange due to similar address you had. I was just giving out information as to why the other participants who used KuCoin as their receiving address were having there withdrawals suspended and why they should prioritize self custody.

You don’t need to change your address whatsoever because it’s not your fault just a coincidence.

How did you get that information? Is there any place the exchange mentions about blacklisted transactions?

All I see is two similar addresses show mempool show a warning like it could be an attack but if it's actually two different addresses, then there should be no problem with that. Certainly, exchange's blacklisting seems weird to me.


You can simply check or verify this by actually looking at rainbet signature thread and see that some members changed their addresses. Maybe you can see how I got the information
