IIRC that's when all the "WCX IS SCAM!!!" poo started getting flung real hard.

I see. Well, I'm not here to tell anyone what to do. I'm stating my opinion and in this case, it's a very strong one because it angers me. Yes also because I think it's wrong and I hate it if people are treated like that, but mostly because realizing it's a scam just destroys my dreams. This is the second scam I have stumbled upon in less than a week and I'm not even searching for them.
When I heard of this ICO I was so pumped because this is exactly what I would love to buy into, and also something I understand, because I have used a lot of exchanges, and most of them have a lot to improve imo. So I did my due diligence, or so I thought. I was about to push the button and send a huge amount to the address I was given because I feared I would lose the spot.
I'm glad I was able to step back from it and convince myself to sleep over it. The next day I realised that I hadn't done ANY due diligence, because there was nothing to check and judge. There's no tangible information whatsoever. I've spent more time researching it and at some point I couldn't pretend anymore that it was legit. At least, I don't think so. I'm not happy about it, because if their calculations were right, the amount I was about to invest would have given me enough passive income for a long time, if not for the rest of my life.

Imo, it's just too good to be true.

Patience is a virtue. Don't jump the gun and accuse of scam just because you have a hunch. There's no pressure on you to invest so just relax. Get the escrow info , beta, etc then make a decision. But don't spew bullshit with no evidence whatsoever to back up your claims.


with 100% certainty this is a scam and a very ugly one.

'Pierre Legarnier'

I'm not defending anyone, I'm simply sharing my experience of dealing with them - at least I have something tangible to share. The team has a plan that is announced publicly, and so far they have delivered. There's no reason to cry foul when there is no proof of wrongdoing. This just does a disservice to everyone holding WCXT.

Thread has been unlocked following the restoration of our trust rating. Negative trust rating was due to fake scam accuser who blackmailed our account in exchange for BTC.

Justice has been served!
But I would still advised not to invest until we see the team and the alpha launch of the project

I agree. They said they will be releasing escrow names. And you can wait till the alpha launch to invest as I am doing. Not sure what good it does folks to cry scam with no evidence.

My own personal experience is I've never had an issue with the WCX team. I've skyped and emailed them. I've worked on bounties and translations with them and they've always paid on time, including BTC rewards. I have no reason to doubt unless proof of wrongdoing is shown, or their promises are not held.

Perhaps as a community we can be a little more constructive?

I wonder if the people crying *scam* will eat a hat when WCX comes out with their platform in 2 weeks...

I also wonder if any of those people have proof of wrongdoing?

Why is WCX being so evasive with revealing their team members identities to the public? They are so eager to promote their team as being part of these big name identifiable and established companies. I think they are name dropping because they want to provide a sense of security for these people who blindly invest in these projects looking to get rich quick.


Lol another noob who just drops by like a fool with their great security wisdom. Of course they should not reveal their team or private key holders, that puts customer funds in risk.

You answered with wrong account, Macht was talking to Joking313. LOL, you just admitted using multiple accounts.

And BTW Poloniex is the worst example, it's mainly because of them we need new, transparent exchanges. Plus they never had the biggest volume, not even close. And there are a few new exchanges doing ICOs, none of them hide the team names (Mothership, Hcash).

The guy mentioned me... I know Polo sucks thats why I have hope for WCX. It's a good business case too. Mothership are very small, they raise like $5M. WCX already has like $10MM in presales. It's a different scale. Plus the fact that they're doing it doesn't make it right. I think they're completely nuts to reveal private key holders if they're running a centralized exchange. I've already explained my reasoning it makes zero sense from security perspective. Why put customer funds and directors at risk? what benefit? bitfinex directors are known and customers lost funds. same with mt gox .

If you dont trust thats your right and individual problem, but then you wait for exchange launch and by the quality you can tell immediately how pro or amateur the team is...

This is a false scam accusation.
Prove it

You're the one making the accusation, you should prove it... have they done any wrongdoing so far? Idk on the thread everyone who has dealt with them is happy. I don't think we should accuse them of anything if they haven't done anything wrong. Their milestone dates are clear so not sure why we are reacting before they act on their plans.

Team info reveal decision is explained at length in the thread but I guess you didn't read it. Not sure what team reveal would do anyway except put private key holders of customer funds at risk.

Not gonna feed you though, it looks like you are trolling. Have a good one.

This is a false scam accusation.

I've worked with the WCX team on many of their bounty projects and Skyped with their members, as have many people in the original thread. The WCX team have delivered on everything promised so far.

Team member identities have not been revealed yet for security reasons (as private key holders), this is discussed very logically and at length in the thread - please take the time to read it.

The Beta exchange is set to launch on Sep 1. At least wait for that before making a false accusation. Wink

How dense are you people? I mean really i don't want to be an asshole but it is like you people put 0 brain power into thinking these things though.  Most ICOs have no problem revealing their team because the crypto they hold is theirs, if they lose it it is their own fault.  On exchanges they hold not only their own but all of their clients too, which means that not only do they have vastly more crypto but it is not their own, and losing customer funds would result in a lot of mistrust for the exchange and loss of clients.

What is this supposed to mean, some kind of insult? I see you are already identifying yourself with these people, feeling threatened whenever someone asks serious questions. Same goes for you, polka. I've read everything as you suggested, and they explain NOTHING.

So for everybody else who thinks about pre-ordering. There is no need to keep the team a secret just to secure the private keys. If you are doing serious business, you will find better ways to keep them secure than not saying ANYTHING about your team.
It's a stupid argument and smells fishy. And to argue "this is crypto" and the keys could easily be stolen is just stupid. BECAUSE this is crypto, a single person doesn't matter at all for the funds. If they are serious about security, they will do multisig anyways.

The whitepaper is a joke, it has nothing to do with what most crypto projects consider a whitepaper. It's just marketing speak, more like a flyer, not even a small business plan. They won't tell you anything, not even the name of the company.
There is NO ESCROW whatsoever, which means if they run with the money, it's gone. And you won't be able to complain to anyone other than some anonymous nicknames on this forum.

The bitcointalk forum used to be very sceptical, but it seems as soon as someone opens their digital purse, the greed takes over and people stop questioning the most basic things. Just don't invest anything in the presale.



Look at this dumbass coming to lecture me about security. It's not about 1 person fool even if they are the entire team, if they get to 1 person they can get to the rest. Plus multisig has almost zero provable advantage over hot / cold structure, just ask bitfinex who got hacked for $200MM they were using multisig.

There is no reason to reveal team member identities. It only serves to put customer funds at risk. It doesn't even increase trust or security. Look at bitfinex their team is "supposedly" known identities, they got hacked like dogs for hundreds of $MM. It's just foolish from security perspective to reveal the private holder identity.

On the flip side Poloniex has unknown owners and they been running without a single hack for years... Also may I say they are the largest exchange by volume...

Revealing private key holding team members will only make the exchange less secure. This has been explained a million times in the replies in this thread. If you don't want to invest in the pre-sale you can simply wait till the exchange launches before the ICO then decide.

That's what they say? They are concerned that they are unable to secure the funds of their company? What are they noobs or what? How did all the other ICOs do it?

Well-said, hopefully newbies will start to understand... As a person who lives and breathes security, I know private key holder identity is a very big deal for an exchange. Deciding whether or not to reveal them should be taken very seriously (I opt to keep them non-public and instead generate trust through the product / customer service).

The other ICOs aren't exchanges, they don't have customer funds to secure...

Has anyone participated in the pre-sale? Do they say who they are? Who in their right mind would give them any money without knowing anything? Maybe it is all a scam and that's what they're after? Rich ppl who are greedy? What do you guys think?

As far as legitimacy, and as far as I've been dealing with the WCX team and pretty much everyone on this thread, they have delivered on all their promises so far. They are following their business timeline and the dates have been announced for beta, ICO, launch etc. so it's fair I think to let them do it.

I think the thinking behind the Presale is you take on a little more risk and get large bonuses. By the time the exchange launches all the information will be public and I *personally* believe buying WCXT will be a no-brainer.

Is Cloudflare shared hosting the right environment for a Coin Exchange?

It's just a landing page, the exchange isn't launched yet... Maybe read the thread.
