Comments and Reviews
They force you to add "Security Questions" - the stupidest security measure of all time.
This is the best way to lock up your account forever because the answers must be identical after all these years. For example, if your answer contains a city name, but you wrote it starting with a small letter, and you forgot about it… Good luck, it won't pass with a capital letter.
If the question is how many times you did something or how much you had of something, and you answer with a word instead of a number…
Combine this with the fact there are three questions and all must be answered correctly at the same time, and you have endless possibilities!
Crypto mining is good with a positive platform, But when join the wrong platform you get your Investment lost, is never late you can retrive back invested crypto as i Got my money back when I reached out to a recovery expert via mails...hoskeyteam@ proton. me to help me recover my money and it was successful.
What they dont tell you clearly beforehand: You cannot transfer the bitcoins to your OWN wallet without "ID verification". Forget the "1000 €" limit you can read somewhere.
Deposited Bitcoins to Paxful wallet and it got over 6 confirmations and its been hours! Paxful support won't respond. Paxful ate my bitcoins! I don't recommend paxful their bitcoin system is broken! Over $100 worth of bitcoins is gone! Seems like they don't care cause they not responding!
[Edited by OAKSIF0, July 18] I got my bitcoins finally but it took almost 24hours and it had over 6 confirmations which is still not good.
Beware of scammers do not use Paypal as they can chargeback and paypal does not help!!
