full stop. couple questions.
what is this intercambio fiasco?
also, internal? are you an employee there?
anyway thanks for the info. will be avoiding MB
I'm not an employee or a team member, I had to contact snitchy to get all other informations
For intercambio, the service works but the "co-owner" got his governance/ownership stolen by MB.
can you explain the intercambio thing in detail? this still doesnt explain it. what does orange fren have to do with this? who exactly owned who/what and how exactly was it stolen? this makes no sense without context from someone who doesnt already know some info.
Also intercambio sucks compared to trocador ngl
heyy :)
I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. MajesticBank approached our team about building Intercambio.app. We agreed. I was the one to build. It was delivered and approved by the customer. Even though we planned to pass Intercambio to MajesticBank in full, MB insisted we keep a share of the profits in exchange for conducting basic maintenance. This was a very generous offer so we agreed.
At the same time MB was employing snitchy as their community manager. Snitchy had a lot of interesting ideas with respect to changes to be made to Intercambio. So MB gave him control of Intercambio, and all of their share of profits from Intercambio. This was quite generous. Crucially, MB stressed that they wish to still have access to the servers and the source code.
This arrangement lasted for some time, but then for a number of reasons MB fired snitchy. As is standard in the IT world snitchy's access to the Intercambio servers was severed.
The main issue in this whole ordeal is as follows: did MB gift Intercambio to snitchy? or did MB make snitchy just the manager of Intercambio?
Also intercambio sucks compared to trocador ngl
Please tell me what you dislike about it :)
Thank you very very much for this explanation.
Well, obviously you can compared Intercambio to your own service or to Trocador and see that there aren't as many features. There's no way to get a quote, or to choose your provider. it just instantly throws you into an exchange. but maybe that's the point.
Cheers to you for all you do, you're a good Fren :)
btw on your onion site you should put an onion link your new forum not clear net

Good points. I'll see what we can do about improving this :)

Thanks! <3

You're right. I'll make sure that change is made.
snitch
He's called snitchy for a reason I guess 😂
There is something here for everyone to open their eyes to... Majestic bank has often been accused of exit scamming, of disappearing, yet they remain offering an acceptable and anonymous service, try and exchange $20 or $2,000 bucks or whatever and decide for yourself. Who is behind the smearing and dodgy information? I can think of a few exchanges and some other groups.
Disgruntled employees exist. Even questionable decisions, but from this to accusing them of being wiretapped (how would you have that information, OP?). It is shameful for tabloid style news to be around when we do need players that push Monero like Majestic and other anon swaps. It seems like you can't be prominent without having some rocks thrown at you.
how OP knows about ddosguard ??
Because if you spam requests by inspecting element, you're triggering ddosguard challenge.
It means ddosguard passively collects requests like cloudflare does and the IP is also tied to ddosguard lease sets.
I dunno. They started out with different owners. It's still fully manual (buy prepaid visa, get it in 24 hours, maybe.)
They once advertised cards that would not be detected as prepaid. Surprise, company I bought it for wouldn't accept a prepaid card, no refund just "sorry for luck maybe try another site?"
Edit I had allark and majesticbank confused.
I didn't ever used because what you said. Some people like to forget in order to have multiple options but that's not good for the community.
agreed. if OP wants to compile all the info in a more detailed organized and formal manner, maybe we can present it to the community, especially something like Monerica, to make sure people are aware. if we want to keep our community alive we need to expose and push out the scumbags, like MB apparently.
I just posted a couple of days ago they've a nice exchange, and now this? seems fishy, not quite right.
We had to make internal investigations... Wow, sounds deep and detailed.
Probably wiretapped by FSB... Your article is behind a paywall, which once getting around it, says nothing about your point. Selectively scammed (I've heard this before, just a smear campaign from competitors. They did have some downtime, for a WEEK, this is verydifferent from scamming, everyone got their funds back)
This post has more spin than the covid vaccines mate. Who's paying you?
lesson to remember: don't pay developers up-front, place bounties, and pay them only once they finish their work
The real lesson to remember is have a clean reputation before attacking Reto implicitly without any proof. Specially when the actor were known for shady behiavors and scammy reputation.
