What is there to be surprised about? The cessation of one type of activity (signature campaign) doesn't mean that the project will be completely closed. Large companies like Google and Microsoft also periodically reduce their workforce and this has not led to the liquidation of their business. BestChange seems to be optimizing the costs of its business and, as in any business, this is a normal phenomenon. Why do you perceive the completion of the signature campaign as the “death” of the entire project?

"Continuing to write posts, articles and answer questions" is a less financially expensive activity, and it would also be wrong to stop interacting with your community on the forum and leave it without feedback and support.

A total ban of cryptocurrencies is not expected in this country, but the ban will be directed against services providing cryptocurrency exchange services. The regulator operates in the best traditions, moving from more to less. A total ban will occur at one of the subsequent stages and will affect ordinary users a little later.

But basically, I agree with your speculations and also assume that the change in the promotional activities of BestChange is associated with regulatory changes in their country. Although, as far as I know, their company is listed in Dubai. So, what do they care about the Russia?

That is the past.
There are some other things in the plan, so I will probably create a new account for which I would like it not to be under automatic or bot traffic quality control. I will definitely contact you before creating the aff account when the time comes.

So, BESTCHANGE now accepts deposits directly from users. 

I tried this service. It is true that the fee is $0.2, but when you choose a crypto address, you must pay $0.2 in that cryptocurrency. If I want to check^* my Bitcoin address, I must pay in Bitcoin. The lowest fee is  ~10 sat/vB. Which means that the transaction fees are higher than the service costs.

Suggestions:

 - Option to pay from the referral balance.
 - Payment only via Lightning Network or cryptocurrencies that have transaction fees less than $0.2.

* Personally, I don't like AML analyzer concept

Do you allow emails that are quickly generated for receiving a quick email? Like 10 Minute Mail? Which blockchain analysis firms are your partners? Do you partner with Chainalysis?
I think it will be good if you offer us a 7 days trial. Make this service free for a week to test your service. Since you charge 20 cents, I think it's not something that you can't afford for free for a week and it will really attract many people to test your service, if they like it, then they might become your regular clients and pay 20 cents. I think 20 cents is nothing to pay in this service but in terms of popularity, I think you'll acquire many members if it's free for a limited time.

No, no, in principle, Bitcoin should not be divided into clean and dirty, and then there will be more than one value for 1 Bitcoin. 1 Bitcoin must = 1 Bitcoin, and therefore accounts must be classified, not Bitcoin addresses.
My surprise is not in terms of the value of $0.2, but rather that it is the first time that BESTCHANGE accepts money directly from customers and not exchanges.

The funny thing is that if you are accused, these tools cannot be used as evidence of conviction in the courts.

You are right. A unified standard with equal informational values for all monitoring participants would significantly simplify the task. However, implementing such an approach would be objectively difficult, primarily due to legal aspects.

Moreover, we cannot force anyone to use our solution exclusively. From the market perspective and free competition, this approach needs more benefits.

It's worth noting that exchange services have their own unique solutions, just as we offer ours. This diversity, in fact, fosters the development of an individual approach to each case, which is a significant advantage.

Are you joking? That's the point of closed-source, you don't know how they are assigning an AML score, so you can't crack it. If it becomes open-source and you know how it works, you might figure out how to bypass it.
P.S. To my mind, AML score is an excuse for coins confiscation and it's totally awful. It does more harm than good because first of all, it doesn't guarantee the accuracy and second of all, an innocent person can get in trouble if they decide to receive Bitcoin from another person. It's basically asking in real life to check every Euro banknote whether it has been in hands of criminal or not. How the hell should I even know or why is it my duty to know or why should I get punished for it if I haven't done anything wrong?

I am wondering, maybe I could have the best answer from @Best_change.

How do you guys determine those exchanger reserves? Does the exchanger share them with you verbally, in a written form or via some sort of API? i am thinking some services could just lie about the reserves if there is no transparent way of checking them.

Thank you very much!

Indeed, on 19 June we celebrated our 17th anniversary. Our business has been that long on the market - we were there before crypto became a thing.

Today we are going to have a party. Work hard, party hard 

Thank you once again for your kind words and wishes.

Thank you for your question.

The administration of the monitoring service assumes that the exchange services listed on our platform provide all data (rates, reserves, labels) in good faith, following our participation rules. We regularly conduct checks to identify and rectify any discrepancies.

Additionally, users can report any discrepancies they find, including issues with reserves, through a special form. If we discover that the provided data is incorrect, the exchange services are temporarily disabled. We work with them to ensure that such violations do not recur.
