yeah, that 56 belcher street isn't a proper address at all.

for that building, you will need a Floor, and Flat, even if they are operating in an apartment.
but when they tell people to send their passport to the incorrect address..

I think it is very clear now. the company is a cover.

yeah, they removed https, and makes themselves very .... not secure this moment.

it appears to be back online.

and I was told https will be reconnected soon, as they just moved to cloudflare.

i got a reply

Dear Kevorsen,

Our service is under massive DDoS attack. We're moving to CloudFlare. All coins are in cold storage, there are no database leaks.
Our techs work hard to get HKCEx back online as soon as possible
.
Thank you for patience and understanding.

Yes I have a fair lot of WDC locked inside too.
the latest email I had from them was this one, but this is 2days ago.
I am getting more worried about them not being as solid as we hoped.

Dear Kevorsen,

Just for your information - we've signed a trading agreement with Hang Seng Bank.last week.
This bank will invest about $9M in crypto-currencies during the 2014.
They will run their trade robot on HKCEx by Monday.
You can monitor the activity of WDC trades using our Trading Desk.

My attitude is similar to yours.
They have been actively answering my issues which I direction from our forums.
and I was told they have initiated all withdrawals.

can you confirm me if this has indeed took place? and a screenshot in case it hadn't?


and soon after I had my withdrawal confirmed.

WDC Withdrawal Requests History

Date and Time   Transaction ID   Confirmations   Amount   Status   
16.05.2014 15:36:16   53763070a1ca9   5   -3000.00   Done

I took hope they are in for the long run. Time will tell.

Don't worry.  I think everyone in the crypto world is allowed to be 'cautious' after incidents in MtGox.

I view is that the crypto-world is so distrusting, some new players are finding it less attractive for startups.
that is why I want to give positive feedback to any new players, hopefully they are in it for the Long run like Worldcoin, and will improve to meet crypto-world standard.

I do think in the end, 'auto-withdrawal' is a must.
else no one will feel safe to deposit large sum of money.
but I also find their conservative attitude 'reasonable', given they are new.

at least I can confirm my withdraw request was approved after 3 hours.

do please keep giving them feedback, hopefully we can groom up another important player.

again reminder, whenever we are dealing with money on the internet, always be careful, even with other exchanges, the safest wallet, is your own ONLY.
Worldcoin created Worldshield to protect people's transaction from attacks, but we cannot protect people from potential internet schemes. (which can always suddenly happen, anywhere.)

As a member of the Worldcoin Alliance, I want to remind everyone to always practice their own common sense, to see how much you should trust a site, etc.

for now, HKcex is in responsive communication with me, I have been asking them to read the forum here, and I think they are learning a lot too.
Time will tell everything. For now, I can say their potential is there.
credit card buying is POWERFUL.  the exchange functions is easy to use.
and they also have Paypal, Sepa and Western union. One won't get all these functions unless you register accounts with them.
So I see a lot of work done on their part, and will be 'odd', if it turns out they are in it for short term.

Lets all observe together.
I too, am learning. Time will tell.

strange a new account will know so much about the past.
can't help to make me think someone is making a new account to troll...

nonetheless, I want to address your concerns seriously, as I should.

I have answered them here.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=609805.0

HKCEX.net is NOT part of worldcoin, they are a NEW PLAYER into the cryptoworld.
and if you have read my talks with them, they have agreed to try to process all withdrawals tonight

please do inform us if that indeed happened.
if not, I can be the medium meanwhile kinks are being sort out.

AGAIN, I want to remind everyone to be vigil when spending money on the internet.
I adopt a 'be kind' attitude to new comers, in this case HKCEX.net, I will allow them to earn their trust if they are unfamilar.
but I agree, we need to be sure it is up to standard of everyone's expectation too.

so while Worldcoin is completely independent to this exchange, we will still like to make sure it works for every body.
please keep us updated, if there are things the Alliance can do for you, speak up, and we will help mediate if we can.

I too was surprised it takes 2 biz day to withdraw.
but at least their representative says all withdrawal will be processed soon, so I am allowing them to learn and improve.

let's all be vigil and help each other together.

they gave me a follow up email, just thought I share while we are talking about this.


Please do let me know if anyone experience anything else.
For now, I think they are trying hard to meeting the crypto worlds demand.
time will tell, for now we should all try and test a new platform that can do credit card biz.  strong potential.

Let's hope they keep improving. and again, I remind everyone to always be vigil on the internet, there are new comers, but occasional there can be trolls.
only time will tell who is who.  I adopt the 'be kind' attitude, and allow people to earn us their trust. Time will tell, we all spectators and making history in the crypto world together.

Tr8kr, I decided to ask their admin for you, and got a reply:



I will urge everyone to always exercise their own judgement when working with money on the internet.
As a follow community member, I too remind myself to double check everything too.

I think it is a good thing that they are so responsive on my questionings, which for now I take as a good sign.
For now I find their answer satisfactory, what do you think?
I will sure be watching. Please let me know if your case is resolved.

I did give them feedback, saying the crypto world is use to a faster deposit/withdrawal schedule, especially with Worldcoin we like to brag about our fast transaction times, and worldshield, which makes time warp attacks impossible practically.  My understanding is that they are in testing phases, and want to be sure there's no such thing as double payment bugs, etc. Which to me, makes sense. If I am starting an exchange, I will have security concerns too.. we will see.

THAT's right.

come join the fun!!

the winner will be chosen in the below method:

First we examine if someone got all 4 teams right.
if Yes, pool split to these person(s)
If NO
We examine if someone got the first 3 teams right.
if Yes, pool split to these person(s)
If NO
We examine if someone got the first 2 teams right.
if Yes, pool split to these person(s)
If NO
We examine if someone got the Champion right.
if Yes, pool split to these person(s)
If NO, pool refunds individuals. (though Charity pool will remain in Charity.)



I actually think it will be rare for someone to get all 3 or 4 teams right.
so I think in reality, if you guessed the Champion and 1st runner-Up, you already get a very good chance to get the pool.

I think a few coins will want Digishield added.

maybe you can charge them for a hardfork.   good biz.

I find this topic interesting.

I have always found myself split between what ASIC does for a coin...

I think it is 'fair' to say it goes both ways.

in the end, we all all learn something

Not to mention a 'not to be mentioned' coin community representative, sent 'me' a taunt email after getting our wikipedia entry deleted with his 'friend group'.

I really don't like to call people out, so I will just say such incident was true, there was even an attempt of extortion by this "altcoin community."

anyway, We at worldcoin is trying to do things right, I suppose we will just have to deal with some level of plagarism.... (I bet all coins get some)

Worldcoin disappeared again.
is the coin explorer wdc.cryptocoinexplorer.com not working?
want to consider switching the the always working  http://www.worldcoinexplorer.com/  instead?

looks like wdc.cryptocoinexplorer.com doesn't like to work when Worldcoin is having a good day.. second time in 1 week...
wonder what causing them to fai...

but good thing Worldcoin has multiple coinexplorders.

Excellent site!!

Fast and easy to use.

Worldcoin users do love to use BTC38 for CNY exchanges.

WDC cryptocoin explorer appears to be done.

can you see can you fix that? cause I use that API often.
