my experience with addy / hiqey

i’ve contemplated posting my history with addy/hiqey for awhile now. my friends have encouraged me to do so, but due to her stance in the rpc i was always far too scared to do so. with all that is coming to light with her recently, not only is a huge weight off my shoulders as far as comfortably roleplaying as my escape, but knowing i’m not alone. my story with addy dates back to about september 2018. i do warn you this will be long, and i’ll try to include enough details to make it make sense while not dragging things on and on. this includes both my personal relationship with addy, as well as my experience with her in groups one where she she was an admin, and groups where i was an admin. as well as i believe we coadmined one together. i’ve put screenshots where i could, but some of this dates back to 2018 and i just don’t have access to those texts/rp accounts anymore.

a huge huge shout out to @bumkeyz for starting this avalanche, and for also supporting me one on one along with all my friends to feel safe enough to come forward. i’ll put all of my story under a read more. 

i’m going to start this by saying, my name is mel/melanie. you may have heard of me because back when addy was on rpslayed she wasn’t a big fan of me for awhile. predominantly my group the cape(?) the main isn’t up anymore so i can’t remember the exact @. i’m 21 years old, i will be 22 this month. i am married & i have a 3 year old daughter. this is information i don’t normally tell people i’m married / have a child, because well, i just feel a little judged. not because anything anyone has specifically done or said, but my own anxieties worried that people will think it’s weird to be married with a child and still in twitter rp. but it is important to my story with addy, which is why i’m letting everyone know right off the bat. 

i met addy in a group called producers. this group is from september 2018, so i’m not able to access anything right now, but am digging. i played (feel free to clown me) a g-eazy character named pierce. addy played a carlson young who’s name i can’t quite recall, and a gracie abrams named lolly. lolly & pierce became friends first & at some point we exchanged phone numbers. lolly & pierce flirted a lot, pierce was a player yada yada. eventually she ended up getting a different ship on lolly & pushed her carlson young onto pierce. pierce had a different love interest & didn’t end up going for her. this should’ve been the first negative sign/red flag. when pierce didn’t get with her character, she got very short & snarky ic and ooc. i believe both of her characters blocked me ic. even though pierce had made no ic promises to either to not be with someone else. we still maintained some level of friendship, but she was extremely weird about when i mentioned my ship. our friendship ended for a few months because of an incident that started ic between me and another character. the mun who played this character and i had bonded ooc over having been pregnant, we talked somewhat often about her dealings with her pregnancy. so i felt close enough/friendly enough with this mun that when something happened with her character & another character ic i dm’ed her to see if she was ok .long story short it went bad. i texted addy and told her that. i explained that i felt as if this mun & i were close and it was like dm’ing a friend. she held onto the fact that i shouldn’t have messaged her. when i didn’t immediately conform to her thought she kicked me out of the group. i was literally devastated. i loved that group, that character, my ship; all of it. she blocked me. though this story is 2 paragraphs long, it’s minor in the grand scheme of things. after this she smeared me on rpslayed for months until our paths crossed again in a group called glitches/glitch? we decided to squash our beef. this was december 2019.

in december 2019 we became friends again. honestly, i wish we never crossed paths. we got very close right away. she started telling me about a bad friendship she had, with someone we mutually knew from producers who i will not name since it’s not my place to put their name in this, and gained my sympathy. so much so that i ended a friendship with that person based solely on accusations that addy had told me. this is something that i can now realize i did wrong. i literally cussed this person out on the phone, solely based off things addy told me. i didn’t listen to someone who had been my friend for months, who defended me and picked me up when addy was tearing me down on rpslayed. i turned my back because addy convinced me to. she made this person seem awful. and again, i’m not naming them, but they know exactly who they are. and when thy do read this, i’m sorry.

now this is where things get out of hand. addy & i begun an intimate relationship. this is very personal, and i know some may pass judgment. but my husband was cool with it. addy also began talking to my husband, they texted. we had a groupchat. not to get into details about the relationship, but it was romantic. i am going to try and organize my thoughts. into themes.

money

this relationship lasted from about january ish to april romantically. i became addy’s crutch. she began going through personal issues with her family. and i started sending her money. to be frank i don’t remember how it started. i helped her with a job search, supporting her through these tough things that were going on. the money started casually i suppose. it was $10 for lunch. $25 for nails. but then it got worse. i bought her a phone. and slowly she grew more entitled to my money. asking for it. demanding it. guilting me when i didn’t give it. i lied to her and told her i lost my credit card and turned it off, but the guilt i had i told her that i could turn it on when she needed it. in screenshots i will post below she guilted me because i was sick and fell asleep before turning my card on. whether what she’s saying occured is true or not, it was just one example of how she made me feel. at one point she had my credit card on her uber, and charged nearly $400 of ubers on my credit card that i didn’t know about. she claimed it was an accident, because i let her put my card on her account under the agreement that she would turn it off. we had an agreement of what she would pay me back, some things that i got her were gifts and i didn’t want/need back. other things it was always an agreement she would pay me back. however whenever i would mention sending me a payment she had an excuse. one time even guilting me by reminding me how much better i have it than she does. all in all i spent / sent upwards of $2500/$3000 on her. only about $1500/$1800 i wanted back. i never saw a dime back, she never made good on her promises. at some point i gave up on asking.

ETA: as far as the uber situation goes, she did apologize and state that it was never on purpose when i found out that there was nearly $500 in charges. she said she thought she was charging her moms card. this shows a photo of 1 page of a 5 page statement of all the transactions put on my card by her in one month. there are only 6 of these transactions that were me. all of the ubers and venmo were her. i didn’t make her take off my card, which in hindsight was obviously a very bad decision. i just didn’t want to leave her stranded without ways to get home/where she needed to be. 

this is her demanding money. this was in the summer. at this point i was so manipulated by her/scared of her/scared of losing her that i didn’t know how to say no. in this instance i deflected with a picture of my child. screen shot.

in the screenshots here, this is where i fell asleep. i was on vacation and got extremely dehydrated in the sun. i literally felt so sick and she made me feel guilty for falling asleep. X X X 

this screenshot shows one of the times i actually asked her when she would repay me. at this point my credit card was nearly maxed out from ubers and sending her money. i was anxious about it and she made me feel bad for asking because her situation was worse than mine. this was the same day she asked me for $250 for a down payment on her car. X asking for money. X making me feel bad for asking when she’s gonna pay.

literally to this day im still in credit card debt because of this. yes i make good money, yes my husband does too. but credit card debt is hard and everyone knows it. i do fine for myself, but i don’t have hundreds extra to pay this down. 

also, i cannot locate the bank screenshot. but as recent as this february, six months since she spoke to me, she still had my card on her uber and usted it again. i can’t find the screenshot of the actual of the bank transaction because i’ve completely had to close that account for fraud and transfer my balance to a new card. but here is a screenshot from february 12 where i tell my friends i caught her doing it. X .

manipulation in groups/related to groups

orbis. i ran a group called orbis, it was a reality show group. addy was one of my friends who really wanted me to open it. all of my groups i’ve adminned i’m the lead. i just always take on that roll so i do get very busy with them on top of my real life. i work full time and i’m a mom so i spread myself thin.she made me feel really guilty for this, saying i wasn’t giving her enough time, she wasn’t anyones dog. so i posted my unfollow. then she told me i was stupid for doing that. so i deleted my unfollow. then she said that me deleting my unfollow showed that i didn’t really care how she felt. screens. X X

lumeer. very similar situation to above. only this time i left the group completely for about 3 weeks. i called my coadmin crying about what she was doing to me, sent her the psds and templates for grpahics and left fully, though i helped them out if issues arose/they needed anything. 

impulse. this was recently and this got brought to the tags. im going to copy & paste what i sent to bumkeyz as far as the story goes for what happened.

“ what happened in impulse is only one of several examples of addy being awful in groups i've adminned. this goes back to our friendship but specifically here's what happened in impulse. addy played a character named briar, the other characters involved were as mentioned in other posts loki & khalil (fai fc). one of he first days of the group khalil hooked up with both loki & briar. when the "updates" account posted about loki & khalil's hook up (we posted any and all plot drops that were sent in, it was a reality show so we consistently updated what the cameras caught), briar got upset on main. addy then messaged khalil's mun ooc and asked for the plot to be erased. essentially because she didn't like that khalil had hooked up with both her and another girl in the same day/same manor. as odd of a request as i was the khalil mun agreed to wipe it & asked that if there was anything that ever came up again that made addy uncomfortable to please not hesitate to dm. addy then softblocked khalil. which is strange. why soft block with briar's reason to dislike khalil has been wiped? that night addy posted on her personal tumblr hiqey "i forgot all fai khadra fcs are weirdos" or soemthing along that line. the khalil mun reasonably got uncomfortable with that, but was softblocked & didn't tell the main. they just ignored it since their characters weren't interacting now. for the next few days addy continued to shade khalil and loki on main, despite any ic reason for disliking them being wiped. loki then approached briar IN CHARACTER asking what was wrong/why she was shading/why they didn't like her. i don't know all the details of that conversation, but i know it ended with loki saying she was going to block briar & briar saying that was fine. bear in mind the admins had no idea any of this was happening at this point. addy then dmed the main, playing victim. after more shading of khalil, khalil's mun decided to block briar as well. addy despite wiping this plot and having 0 ic communication with khalil continued to shade the characters ic. so addy dmed the main playing innocent. asking for us to have them unblock, saying she had no idea why they blocked or what she did. as admins we had no idea why either, figured it was something ic so we dmed both muns. khalil's mun agreed after some hestiation, and asked if they had to follow her and i said no. they didn't elaborate. loki's mun however refused, & i'm glad she did because she told us what was going on. of course once we were told everyting we didn't make her unblock. up until we told addy that we were not going to make those muns unblock her, she was extremely sweet to us. she praised us on her rpt. said she loved the group. fed the main compliments. but when she didn't get her way out of us, and was essentially told on, she started causing issues on the timeline with different characters. she sent us a dm on the main telling us to "learn how to handle your group melanie" and deactivated before i could get a chance to reply. “

what i didn’t tell bumkeyz is that deejay/rpslayed played khalil. another example of addy’s manipulation is that when she saw deejay getting anons she followed deejay and texted her after several months of no communication, starting to tell her side of the story and play innocent -- not knowing that deejay was the person who was behind khalil the entire time. she made khalil out to be the bad guy, not knowing that it was deejay. after finding out deejay and i were friends, when deejay posted on rpslayed for people to follow me shortly after trying to get deejay on her side, addy blocked us both (again). 

manipulation between friends (?)

i don’t really know a great way to title this, but this is similar to the situation i mentioned with the unnamed person above -- how addy made me think that person was the worst so i would stop being friends with them. this is a few more examples of that.

the entire time i was friends with addy, she told me that deejay hated me. she told me that deejay was convinced that i was this person who tried to get her kicked out of a group. she told me that she did her very best to convince deejay that it wasn’t true, but no matter what she did deejay just hated me. nearly a year later deejay and i cross paths in a group. we started talking ooc and i mentioned this. i asked her why she thought that was me. we found out that basically, while addy was telling me she was trying to convince deejay it wasn’t me, she was telling deejay that it was me. she would also tell me personal information about deejay that i had no business knowing, whether it be real life information or just telling me the groups deejay adminned when she knew deejay didn’t want anyone knowing. 

i have found out recently that addy has recently been telling people a lie about when she came to visit me. on one evening when she visited me in june of 2019, we went to my friend’s house. we both drank, and smoked. i am someone who neither drinks nor smokes, and i got a very bad mix from it. my anxiety sky rocketed. i was crying on my friends couch practically paralyzed. i didn’t want to move. i felt sick. i felt scared. my friends were going to drive us back to my house and shortly before we were about to walk out addy said she needed to go to the hospital. my friend’s boyfriend drove her there, and when he came back they took me home. this night is very blurry for me. i remember barely being able to see straight, my friend helped me walk to and from the car. addy has told her friends that i refused to pick her up from the hospital that night, and i’ve now heard this from two of her close friends. when in reality, i was so far gone that not only was i sick and scared, but i couldn’t see straight. i had absolutely no ability to be behind a wheel. i’m not surprised she twisted this against me.

i provided a few people screenshots where addy was telling me to block them/trying to convince me that they were awful and hurting me. at the same time that addy was telling me this, she was doing the opposite to them -- to keep us apart. i believe this is some sort of power. always wanting to be everyones number one.

i don’t have a lot of screenshots for this, so i won’t go into much detail, but i can say on more than one occasion, or more than five or ten she told me who to and not to be friends with. told me to block people who had been our friends who were no longer friends with her. 

flat out manipulation.

i don’t want to go back through my texts too much honestly. it’s still a sore spot. it still sucks and it still hurts. but i think anyone and everyone involved with addy at some point or another has similar stories about the way she treats her friends. there were points where i begged. begged and begged her not to leave me. i can’t even count how many times she blocked and unblocked me. how many times she made me feel the worst and then came back. she came back because she knw i was there. and that my generosity was practically endless. i couldn’t say no to her, frankly i can’t say no to anyone. if anyone dmed me today and said hey i need $15 for a ride home. i’d probably send it. that’s just how i am. addy completely had me wrapped around her finger. to the point that i left friends who were good to me. i left my own groups i worked hard on. i nearly ended my engagement (which cannot be entirely blamed on her, but the relationship she and i had was built off lots of manipulation). i know that i could go find 100 screenshots and texts of her manipulating me but honest i just don’t want to do that to myself again. she has made me out to be the villain to anyone she can. i have had 2 different people tell me that she told them i say the n word, which is the furthest thing from the truth. i fear the things she’s said about me to people. if she can 100% make something up, what can she twist from actual arguments or issues we had? 

i know this sounds like a lot of rambling for nothing. but for nearly two years i’ve lived in fear in the rpc of addy. less so when we were friends. i’ve feared telling my side because i felt invalid. frankly even as i type this im scared. scared she’s already convinced everyone i’m awful and no one will read this or care. i just am thankful that this finally came to light. i am glad that i won’t feel scared anymore. roleplay is my one place to be free. as a mother, a full time worker, i don’t have a lot of time for hobby’s and frankly i don’t have a lot of them. i don’t draw, or read. i like to write. and i’m just thankful this can finally be lifted off me.

hshq order numbers

as i continued to dig my harry styles themed grave by ordering this pretty pretty green vinyl, i was reminded that order numbers over at hshq are sequential. i’ve long ago deleted the confirmation from my very first order of hs1 back in 2017, but i remember it being low four digits. just a thousand or so of us out there, ordering the white vinyl the instant the store opened for business.

in comparison, the order number i got when they were clearing out venue shirts after tour ended last july was just under 40,000. (spare me your side-eye, vancouver was a great sparkletits show and i sleep in that shirt like every night.)

anyway, what that means is people placed almost 40,000 orders from hshq from the time hs1 was released through the end of the first tour. that’s our baseline here.

but then! my order number for my promptly purchased lights up EP in october was just shy of 80,000. think about that: over 15 months when dude was mostly hibernating, people placed another 40,000 orders for harry styles shit. the hrought did not decrease purchasing activity one bit. (note that the tpwk hoodie was released during this time period and could account for many of these sales.)

but then! my (first) fine line order a week ago was almost 90,000.

and my order today for that goddamned pretty pretty green record was above 125,000.

so! since july 2018 there have been more than 85,000 orders from hshq. that’s double the number of orders during the hs1 release/tour. furthermore, dude already has more than 45,000 sales specific to hs2 (starting with the lights up EP through present day). the album’s not released, tour isn’t even announced, but hs2 has already well exceeded the number of online sales for the entire hs1 era. don’t ever tell me that anybody on team harry styles is making the wrong call about marketing.

ETA: please note these numbers are for US orders only -- there’s a whole world of other transactions out there besides.

FATF Pressures OKEx to Delist Monero, Zcash, Dash; Litecoin Next?

A guideline issued by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is prompting OKEx to delist popular privacy-centering cryptocurrencies.

Travel Rule

The Korean wing of the cryptocurrency firm announced on Monday that it is going to stop trading of Monero, Zcash, Dash, Horizen, and Super Bitcoin on its exchange. All the five assets, in one way or another, allows users to hide their financial transactions by introducing additional layers of security.

OKEx said in a note that the five cryptocurrencies could “violate laws or regulations/policies of government agencies and major agencies.” The exchange was citing FATF, an intergovernmental organization that combats money laundering on a global scale. The task force in October 2018 enforced a so-called ‘travel rule,’ which requires cryptocurrency exchanges to obtain relevant users’ information, including the virtual wallet addresses of senders and receivers involved in a cryptocurrency transaction.

Privacy coins such as Monero and Zcash assists users in hiding those details. That makes it difficult for cryptocurrency firms to monitor and report those transactions to FATF. OKEx said it would delist Monero, Zcash, Dash, Horizen, and Super Bitcoin, merely to keep itself in line of the global watchdog’s directives.

Zcash and blockchain privacy is like selling seatbelts in 1910. Yes they're needed, but no one knows yet.@EranTromer

— Ian Miers (@secparam) September 12, 2019

The move has made OKEx the second exchange to have gone after anonymity-focused coins under regulatory pressure. Earlier in June 2018, way before FATF had imposed the ‘travel rule,’ Japan-based Coincheck had removed Monero, Zcash, and Dash from its exchange after facing pressure from the Financial Services Agency (FSA).

OKEx would disable the privacy coins’ deposits on October 10, 2019. Nevertheless, users will still be able to withdraw their privacy coins to their wallet addresses until December 10, 2019.

Troubles for Litecoin Ahead?

As exchanges operating from FATF member states follow suit and start delisting privacy coin, the move could spell troubles on the world’s fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

The $4.5 billion cryptoasset Litecoin in August announced that it is going to become a privacy coin. Founder Charlie Lee went ahead and admitted that they are going to introduce “confidential transactions” in a “future release of the the full [litecoin] node” in 2019 – after the online community accused him and core developers of abandoning Litecoin.

11/ I will address the progress on MimbleWimble (MW) and Confidential Transactions (CT). When I announced that I will start working on MW, someone asked me for an ETA. And I responded with should be sometime 2019. https://t.co/nfWd11ThpE

— Charlie Lee [LTC] (@SatoshiLite) August 11, 2019

The announcement kept Litecoin investors happy, as it maintained the coin’s bullish narrative intact. The LTC/USD exchange rate had risen by more than 500 percent between December 2018 and July 2019 – before Lee confirmed the development of  “confidential transactions.” The upsurge majorly came on the shoulders of Litecoin’s halving event, which earlier this year reduce the cryptocurrency’s supply-rate by half.

The LTC/USD pair is now down by more than 50 percent, driven by higher demand for rival asset bitcoin. And as the Litecoin project goes ahead with its plans of becoming an anonymity-focused coin, the likelihood of it being rejected by exchanges operating from FATF’s 39 member states could go higher.

OmiseGO to Initiate Decentralization In Q4 2018

OmiseGO, a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange issued on Ethereum who has raised $25 million in its initial coin offering in Q2 2017, has updated its roadmap to clarify the timelines and milestones ahead.

OmiseGO Shares Updated Visual Roadmap

The dynamic, evolving process, which has started with the ICO in Q2 2017, was followed by an airdrop of 5% of total OMG supply in Q3 2017. The decentralized exchange infrastructure, Cosmos DEx, which allows currency-agnostic asset exchange between all integrated wallets, will no longer be included on the OMG core roadmap. Tenderming DEx (Honte) will be eliminated from the roadmap as Plasma progressed more quickly than expected and the OMG token is to be spooned after the Cosmos hub is launched, but OmiseGO will still work with the Cosmos team to build a parallel DEx on Cosmos.

“Put simply, a snapshot of all balances will be taken at a given block height, and every address holding OMG at that time will receive an equal quantity of the Cosmos DEx staking token (not to be confused with ATOMs — the Cosmos DEx will have a separate token). As stated will give at least 2 weeks’ notice before the snapshot.”

The non-custodial Plasma DEx has an estimated time of arrival in Q4 2018. The decentralization will be implemented in two phases, the first one maintains a centralized service to provide order matching, “but users will have custody of their funds with non-custodial order settlement on the OMG Plasma chain”. The second phase will have the exchange fully decentralized by moving the order book and order matching into the Plasma chains and decentralizing the order matching process. The team did not disclose the ETA for the full DEx on Plasma.

The OMG network will be subject to enhancements and include exchange of non-fungible tokens, removal of confirmation messages in Tesuji Plasma, recurring payments, conditional payments, order blinding, front-running protection, and scalable blockchain. The production of these features is ongoing.

Regarding the scalable blockchain, there is progress on Plasma scaling, proof-of-stake consensus and integration with the Ethereum blockchain. The team has chosen to start with the simplest possible consensus mechanism, Proof of Authority (PoA), with OmiseGO as operator. Transaction fees are necessary in order to deter DDoS attacks, but the OMG network will not profit from fees during the PoA phase. Instead, the money will be used to buy OMG tokens which will then be burned.

The first Plasma MVP was delivered in Q1 2018 and the development of Plasma Cash, which turns fungible assets into unique “coins” on the root chain, is ongoing. The team expects the implementation of initial plasma in Q3 2018. The hybrid PoS and full PoS are upcoming. The eWallet SDK had its Beta version (Fuseki) delivered in Q1 2018 and SDK 1.0 (Sente) should be released in Q2 2018.

The parent company of OmiseGO is creating a new subsidiary which will acquire centralized exchanges in order to build a network of front-end exchange platforms.

Crypto Platform 1Broker Seeks Much-Needed Legal Support After SEC, FBI Shutdown

Marshall Islands-based 1Broker has been in a flurry as of late, as the crypto-focused investment services provider came under heavy fire from the top guns of the free world, American regulators and their closest compatriots.

1Broker Sees Court Case Develop, Positive Signs

As reported by NewsBTC on September 28th, 1Broker, a foreign crypto startup, was unexpectedly hit with regulatory action from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodities and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

In a press release pertaining to the case, the SEC’s Fort Worth-based Director, Shamoil T. Shipchandler, revealed that her office suspected 1Broker of offering vehicles that are in direct violation with multiple securities laws.

Most notably, the startup was allegedly issuing Bitcoin security-based derivatives without the proper licenses, potentially endangering investors across the globe to uncalled for risks. The SEC and the CFTC, who issued a similar statement, are now seeking for 1Broker to be hit with “permanent injunctions, disgorgement plus interest, and penalties” through their already-filed complaints.

In a coordinated strike, at the same time as the two regulators issued their statements, the FBI seized the official domain of the startup, disallowing global consumers from accessing what the service has to offer. Interestingly enough, however, what slipped under the radar of many is that 1Broker’s 1Fox platform, which is aiming to become a BitMEX competitor, was unaffected by the FBI seizure event.

Obviously, the fact that regulators came down so hard came as surprise to the firm and its CEO, who was name-dropped in the court case. To the chagrin of its critics, 1Broker quickly regained its wits, immediately seeking legal counsel and support in a bid to solve this issue, which crippled the business to its core.

We are currently engaging U. S. counsel who can represent us in the SEC/CFTC case. We expect that this takes a few days.

We received the green light from our lawyers to set up a read-only version 1Broker to view balances and transaction history. ETA: 48 hours

— 1Broker (@1Brokercom) October 1, 2018

After a weekend of what could be assumed of hard work, 1Broker updated its users on Monday morning, outlining how the case has developed and what moves are being made to restore its services. As seen in the tweet above, the startup is now engaging with its US-based counsel, who will represent the firm in the ongoing SEC and CFTC case, which will likely “take a few days.”

More importantly, 1Broker revealed that it had received the go-ahead from its lawyers to restore a read-only version of its website, which will allow investors to finally view their balances and transaction history to ensure that their funds are safe. Reports have also been flying around on crypto Twitter that the firm was to directly converse with SEC officials and an attorney, but no details regarding this apparent event have been released at the time of writing.

Since the unfortunate shut down, the topic of 1Broker’s demise has gained support on both sides. On one side, there are some pessimists that claimed that this harsh regulatory move was warranted without a doubt, as many like to point to the questionable business practices that the service enlisted. But, as seen throughout multiple crypto circles, there are still some that want to see 1Broker succeed, as the verdict of this case may set a precedent for how regulators should address crypto-focused platforms moving forward.

But investors shouldn’t be worried, as the likes of the CFTC Commissioner, Chris Giancarlo, and Japan’s Financial Services Agency head, Toshihide Endo, recently revealed that governmental bodies aren’t looking to regulate crypto without rhyme or reason, but to protect consumers from the risk of fraud, manipulation, and theft.

Coinspot Review

coinspot review

Coinspot is one of the largest exchanges available for Australians, not only one of the largest but the one that has the most available coins out of all the exchanges in Australia. This Coinspot review will be intended to show the strong points and the weak points of this great exchange.

Coinspot was founded in 2013 after the founders realised there was no easily accessible exchange that Australians could use without having to use exchanges in United States. After Coinspot was founded it didn’t take long for it to become one of the leaders in Australian exchanges and still to this day it has the biggest range of big and small coins.

SIGNUP TO COINSPOT NOW

WHY SHOULD I USE COINSPOT? 

In this section of this Coinspot review we will talk about the benefits of using this exchange. The main point to address about Coinspot is the effective and simple way to add or retrieve fund to your account, they use a method called POLi Payments.

POLi Payments are great if you live in Australia because this method lets you take money straight from your bank account and into the Coinspot wallet instantaneously! This way if you ever feel like you need to buy and on a dip and you have no founds, you won’t miss out on the rise.

Coinspot also amounts to the most coins, making it accessible to buy and sell many of the coins you would not even find on US exchanges. Not only is it easy but very secure, you can ask any of the members of Coinspot. Joining Coinspot is a feat because of the great extent they have taken to make it as a secure as possible; you have to do what you do in other exchanges plus extra ones like take pictures of you with a code that gets approved by people instead of an AI.

  THINGS THAT MIGHT LET YOU DOWN

Not everything in this Coinspot review is good; we want to let you know both the good and bad. There is one thing that can be a bit frustrating is the fee that you receive every time you create a transaction, this fee may be more than other exchanges but even with this bad point; coinspot is still the best exchange to use for Australians. If you want to read more about the fee, you can find all the details on their website.

There have been a couple of times where POLi Payments have been removed due to problems with the Australian government, they get around this by going to the bank to make instantaneous transfers or using your BPAY to transfer the money in an ETA of 3 days. This doesn’t happen often but it’s the only other bad point about Coinspot.

  WHY IS IT THE BEST?

Coinspot, despite having some bad points, is still the best exchange to use for Australians. It provides very secure and easy to do payments.

When using Coinspot, you will see the comfortable website design. This makes it simple for anyone to start trading making this platform great for beginners or experts.

so, what are you doing? Go to Coinspot, make an account and get trading!

Most notably, the startup was allegedly issuing Bitcoin security-based derivatives without the proper licenses, potentially endangering investors across the globe to uncalled for risks. The SEC and the CFTC, who issued a similar statement, are now seeking for 1Broker to be hit with “permanent injunctions, disgorgement plus interest, and penalties” through their already-filed complaints.

In a coordinated strike, at the same time as the two regulators issued their statements, the FBI seized the official domain of the startup, disallowing global consumers from accessing what the service has to offer. Interestingly enough, however, what slipped under the radar of many is that 1Broker’s 1Fox platform, which is aiming to become a BitMEX competitor, was unaffected by the FBI seizure event.

Obviously, the fact that regulators came down so hard came as surprise to the firm and its CEO, who was name-dropped in the court case. To the chagrin of its critics, 1Broker quickly regained its wits, immediately seeking legal counsel and support in a bid to solve this issue, which crippled the business to its core.

We are currently engaging U. S. counsel who can represent us in the SEC/CFTC case. We expect that this takes a few days.

We received the green light from our lawyers to set up a read-only version 1Broker to view balances and transaction history. ETA: 48 hours

After a weekend of what could be assumed of hard work, 1Broker updated its users on Monday morning, outlining how the case has developed and what moves are being made to restore its services. As seen in the tweet above, the startup is now engaging with its US-based counsel, who will represent the firm in the ongoing SEC and CFTC case, which will likely “take a few days.”

More importantly, 1Broker revealed that it had received the go-ahead from its lawyers to restore a read-only version of its website, which will allow investors to finally view their balances and transaction history to ensure that their funds are safe. Reports have also been flying around on crypto Twitter that the firm was to directly converse with SEC officials and an attorney, but no details regarding this apparent event have been released at the time of writing.

Since the unfortunate shut down, the topic of 1Broker’s demise has gained support on both sides. On one side, there are some pessimists that claimed that this harsh regulatory move was warranted without a doubt, as many like to point to the questionable business practices that the service enlisted. But, as seen throughout multiple crypto circles, there are still some that want to see 1Broker succeed, as the verdict of this case may set a precedent for how regulators should address crypto-focused platforms moving forward.

But investors shouldn’t be worried, as the likes of the CFTC Commissioner, Chris Giancarlo, and Japan’s Financial Services Agency head, Toshihide Endo, recently revealed that governmental bodies aren’t looking to regulate crypto without rhyme or reason, but to protect consumers from the risk of fraud, manipulation, and theft.
