Not a lead, just a curiosity, from the spidering results I found the pending reviews (https://www.timetobit.com/starreviews/34eayghzrtdj56rtjsh/). Apparently the review system approval mechanism was unprotected. There are 157 pending reviews, all of which state the site is a scam. They seem to have be spammed since there is a lot of repetition on the review text and they were all done on the same day. Follows some examples:

- Leave immediately, and do not get scammed like I did.  No one answers support, no payout
- Do not throw your bitcoins down the drain of TimeToBit.  Once payment is received, they stop responding, and there are no payouts
- I made a terrible mistake joining TimeToBit, one of the biggest bitcoin scam ever.  Please do not lose your money too.  No payouts, no support
- (...)

No, as per http://www.iana.org/assignments/registrar-ids/registrar-ids.xhtml

I have also been following a lead. I have made a local copy of the website (right before the site went down). The live chat functionality used in TimeToBit seems to be custom made because there isn't any copyright on it (javascripts, stylesheets, etc.) and there is a very limited set of sites using it (read, indexed by Google). I'm trying to find out who has developed the other sites and see if there is any match from what we already know.

The site archive can be downloaded here, http://www49.zippyshare.com/v/13484773/file.html You will need Burpsuite to open the file (http://portswigger.net/burp/download.html < free version will suffice). In Burpsuite, click "File" > "Restore State".

I was wrong, the chat functionality isn't custom made.

The address used in the company registration belongs to a company that basically provides a mail box "routing service", so that you can register a "legit" company without revealing your identity. Pretty much used for offshore companies.

You've spoken to them yourself then ?

BTW just curious Wink

Unfortunately, no I didn't Sad I checked their address in Google Maps, and matched with http://www.avanta.co.uk/. BTCCat also arrived to the same conclusion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=744692.msg8423412#msg8423412.)

Some more info, two IP addresses:

- 192.64.118.151
- 192.64.118.152

These servers are registered as ns1.timetobit.com and ns2.timetobit.com respectively in the whois. From the e-Mail headers we can also get server1.timetobit.com (same IP as ns1.timetobit.com). Couldn't find any running service on those servers though.
