What they did so far is taking my money without anything in return. Oh wait, a mobile app that crashes, at least it does not take more of my money.

The mobile app is online since yesterday?

I do not trade crypto on my mobile, that is asking the devil for a date. Already enough damage done by Bitkub.

Anyway I'm glad everyone got their funds back. I would certainly be sweating if I had any there while this was happening. Crypto can be a wild ride.

So far not, I still have money in Bitkub and they are still offline.

All I say it does not matter. They can host whatever <deleted> they want. In my first posting here I explained what happend with them. And apparently it got only worse since then.

BTW I did not bring Amazon into this discussion...

I'm obsessed? Cool. That is something new ????

Yes, and that can be hacked. Can't blame Amazon for your own failure.

Amazon is not cheap or unreliable by any means. If they are hosted there, still say they are under maintenance, it only means one thing. They got hacked.

Not coming back

It is dead as in walking.

So Bitkub, if you read here, how do I get my money back?!

Not coming back, so it is no maintenance.

Yesterday they offered 1000B in trading fees for whatever problems.

Seems they ran out of money after all.

Bankrupt.

Hacked or bankrupt or both, typical symptoms.

You don't crash a trading system with new people opening an account. Two completely different things. So if they give this answer it means they have been compromised and try to cover it up. Bad.

Not new, this is going on for days as I wrote here already. Should have kept your pockets closed.

Still down. I'm starting to sense a hack.

Thai cyber security is atrocious, even for banks.

 

Most of my money is out, so I consider myself lucky. Either hacked or bankrupt. Symptoms are usually the same.

Should just teach us one lesson again, do not leave any funds on exchanges unless you are actually trading.

Coinbase regularly crashes when prices go up or down.

"Bitkub website and application urgent maintenance"

Such things usually happen, when sites get hacked. I don't say they got hacked. But don't be surprised if.

Buy regularly, dollar cost averaging. Like 100$ each month. Nothing you could do wrong with it.

This "exchange is doomed. Decide for yourself if you want to trust them with your money.

"Bitkub website and application urgent maintenance

We would like to inform you that our website and application is undergoing system maintenance resulting in Bitkub website and application inaccessible on 18/01/2021 until further notice.

We are working on it with highest priority and will inform you immediately once we are back in service."

Thailand does not have any vaccines, so it is save to say there are no casualities ???? 

So they knew already in January what was coming from China. That is in line with the clinical trial applications. Moderna was the first in March, that is they already had the final vaccine, while the rest of the world still did not know anything about the virus. Go figure.

Did you get any reason why you were not accepted ?

Obviously because he is a US citizen and requirements for KYC, AML and IRS are made to block you from trading at most international exchanges. Can use a VPN and use one of the few left without KYC but these are becoming fewer and fewer. Binance also requires US citizens for KYC now.

What works are decentralized platforms like for instance Uniswap, but I believe you need to have some cryptocurrency first, not fiat money.

I have used Bitkub for some time and baht deposits/withdrawals from SCB and crypto deposits/withdrawals have been no problem.

Except one time when an ETH withdrawal took several hours, but I think due to network issues, not Bitkub.

I am a Bitkub customer -- no other financial interest with them.

 

 

 

Crypto withdrawals are no problem, THB deposit with QR code also works. What did not work was bank transfer and you cannot reach them as they do not have a working phone number. The one guy they have in the chat box is not able to cope with requests. Had to wait several hours, then still they did not accept the payment confirmation. Had to go to UOB, but  still could not upload as the amount is different each time and not accepted. Then waited again for several hours. Apparently another one of their staff with some knowledge fixed it in the end.
