I'm sorry, but you're sounding like the politicians of my country that when they want to make donations go on TV channels and newspapers for everyone to know that it's them who are making the donations, of course this sounds like they're make political campaign. Why you do not convert your bitcoin to FIAT and then donate to charity institutions in your country? this will save you from headaches and you will make sure your money is going to help people.

Either we are planning on running for office or we want to bring more awareness to Bitcoin whales that they can donate to charity and help the world just like the Pineapple donator did.

We just don't know which good charities accept Bitcoin and crowdsourcing it is a good plan.

Hello Bitcoin community,

PrivCoin has decided to donate 100% of our profits to charities in an effort to help make our world a better place. Please help us find charities that meet the following criteria:

1) Charity must be legitimate and registered in any country
2) Charity must accept Bitcoin
3) Charity must post their address publicly without any KYC for donations.

Please use the following template to help suggest people who can use free Bitcoin


URL of charity:
Short description of what the charity is known for:
URL of their website that includes their Bitcoin address:

We will provide signed messages proving coins came from us on an occasional basis. We'll donate 1 BTC worth and prove it within 72 hours but future donations will be on a delay to avoid people calculating what our profits are.

In response to 1broker domain and charges https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5039832.0

We at PrivCoin first became aware that pure Cryptocurrency may be regulated with KYC laws in the USA after FinCEN director Kenneth Blanco's speech which can be seen at this link https://www.fincen.gov/news/speeches/prepared-remarks-fincen-director-kenneth-blanco-delivered-2018-chicago-kent-block

In it he mentions mixers directly

Quote
Further, businesses providing anonymizing services (commonly called “mixers” or “tumblers”), which seek to conceal the source of the transmission of virtual currency, are money transmitters when they accept and transmit convertible virtual currency, and, therefore, have regulatory obligations under the BSA.

In response to this speech we blocked all United States users a month ago in a good faith effort not to do business with that country. Since then we have been planning the following updates to make it more clear that Americans are not permitted to use our services.

1) We have moved our FAQ about America near the top. Previously it was near the bottom because it was the most recent thing added. https://www.privcoin.io/faq/

2) We have users now certify they are not from America before each mixing process.

These updates are now deployed on the website.

We have for the last month initiated Geo blocking of all Americans and we are reviewing this technology to see where it can be improved. We are also reviewing more methods for making it clear that Americans cannot use our services.

Thank you for reading.

Is your service permanently closed or just offline for now?

I'll post here as a reference for the red trust I'm going to give ChangeNOW. They claim to be anonymous (archived):
The service is anonymous, limitless and does not require any sign-ups.
But then they require KYC when it's convenient for them (archived):
We need our users to pass KYC

To ChangeNow should they read this thread: If you either refund us the coin we sent back where it came from OR provide a swap to the coin we wanted, we will remove this post but here's the best part: We are not going to tell you which transaction was ours so either refund every user you're holding and give everybody their coins back or provide them the promised swap.
I've always appreciated the way you do business!

This thread is related: ChangeNow.io (Evercode Lab) - Scam. Illegally holding of 100 BCH (11 bitcoins).


Known alt of this account: Polina_ChangeNOW, admitted amongst others here (archived).

They should also change their advertising to remove "Non Custodial" as they have custody of our coins. They will keep our coins forever seemingly.

"This amount will be forwarded shortly"?
are you serious?



Hello,

Can you PM or email the letter of guarantee? It's a rare bug with ETH when our wallet sometimes tries to double spend from the same wallet if there are many ETH mixes within 5 minutes of each other but not the same time. I am sure if you look at the from address you will see another transaction at the same time.

This issue is resolved and it was a new bug we've never seen.

Very interesting information, but what evidence do you have? I see only one problem - when I go to your site (https://www.privcoin.io) I see a message from MetaMask:

ATTENTION
MetaMask believes this domain could currently compromise your security and has prevented you from interacting with it.

This is because the site tested positive on the Ethereum Phishing Detector. This includes outright malicious websites and legitimate websites that have been compromised by a malicious actor.

You can turn MetaMask off to interact with this site, but it is advised not to.

If you think this domain is incorrectly flagged or if a blocked legitimate website has resolved its security issues, please file an issue.


How do you explain this?

Discussed in detail https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3805294

We provided written notice to them that they were factually incorrect which is a precursor to being able to file a lawsuit for libel https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect/issues/1598

There have been 0 scam accusations against us, plus we provide cryptographic proof of all transactions that can prove a scam. It's also odd to label us a phishing site when we don't ask for login credentials. We also refunded a user out of pocket for the scam of another service https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2165755.msg40955778#msg40955778


Scammers Profile Link:   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1307188
Reference Link: https://changenow.io
Amount Scammed: More than 1 BTC worth, less than 20 BTC worth.

What happened::

Many of you are familiar with the service we run, namely https://www.privcoin.io which is a multi crypto mixer. We currently support mixing BTC, BCH, ETH and LTC. On occasion depending on the popularity of coins we will use 3rd party services such as Shapeshift, Changelly and ChangeNow to swap from one coin to another to increase reserves of something in higher demand. One day within the last 2 months one of our Admins used ChangeNow only to be greeted with the following message after the coins had been sent:

Quote
According to European AML directives and KYC regulations, we have to ask you to provide a scan or a photo of your ID valid in your country of residence and the additional information of the funds origin (like trading, mining etc).

The country in which we operate from does not require us by law to perform KYC on crypto to crypto transactions so for obvious reasons it will never be possible for us to prove where the funds came from nor do we feel like sending any ID to ChangeNow as they advertise themselves as an "Anonymous, Limitless Exchange" right here on the forums.

This thread should serve as a warning not to use ChangeNow unless you are both willing to provide ID and able to prove where your coins have come from. On occasion we don't want to process a mix at PrivCoin so we refund the user their exact coins back to them and this approach should be the industry standard.

To ChangeNow should they read this thread: If you either refund us the coin we sent back where it came from OR provide a swap to the coin we wanted, we will remove this post but here's the best part: We are not going to tell you which transaction was ours so either refund every user you're holding and give everybody their coins back or provide them the promised swap.

Hello! We are sorry that this was your experience with ChangeNOW.

Let us clarify the situation:
AML and KYC are implemented by all legitimate money service businesses, ours included. We need our users to pass KYC on order to continue our operations without any legal problems from legal authorities.

We have a standard procedure for all verification cases. In order to complete your exchange, please turn to our tech support at support@changenow.io. Our specialists will guide you through the process to ensure the process is as smooth and comfortable for you as possible.

As for our alleged anonymity: we stopped being anonymous quite a while ago when our policy changed. We don't advertise ourselves as anonymous and it is stated in our FAQ, Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy. All our customers automatically accept them when using ChangeNOW.

Regulation of crypto exchangers' operations is only becoming more strict. We are obligated to follow all the requirements.
Our customers' comfort is our top priority, therefore all our KYC cases are handled with utmost professionalism. You are welcome to have your exchange finished through our support and sincerely hope everything goes smoothly for you.

We have no way to verify our funds because our country does not consider crypto to crypto as money service. You advertised yourself here as anonymous and this is how our Admin found you https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2911172.0

\\\ANONYMOUS AND LIMITLESS EXCHANGES AVAILABLE///

ChangeNOW is a fast and easy service that comes in handy when you need to exchange your coins on-the-go. The service is anonymous, limitless and does not require any sign-ups. We stick to the lowest commission on the market (0.5%) and are always here to help! Please give it a try and let us know what you think.


We would also rather not provide our ID. If you want to return the coins that's fine but you should return everybody's coins and not just ours. There are no known laws of any country preventing you from doing so unless you are absolutely certain they were involved in a crime and not just suspicious in which case they would be turned over to the agency investigating that particular crime and not held by you. If you don't want to return the coins for which you have suspicion and no actionable evidence then enjoy the free coins.

TOR mirror works but is slow with limited functionality for me
Clearnet completely doesnt work for me and my friends.

TOR mirror works more now. If it continues we can make a private TOR mirror.

TOR ddos has stopped for now. It works proper.
