kevin at anonymousbtcsms.com: This is not a scam website. I am using Coinbase to process transactions and their platform has had a host of technical difficulties for non-usa based customers. I have been manually updating payments for the last several weeks, such that there maybe a few hours delay between when transactions have been confirmed and when they are tracked on the website. I noticed your payments several hours ago and I had already credited your account. While my FAQ does say no refunds, I have always provided refunds when asked. You did not contact me about the payments not being correctly stored. -Kevin

Hi Kevin, Thanks for the update, I'm glad to hear your site is legit! I can confirm the payment is now credited in my account, although it wasn't at the time I wrote the post. Can you please remove the text you copied from my site? EDIT: I've added an update at the top of the article.

  Would love to hear a timeline as well, AFAIK in these kind of situations they are normally included. It's not as bad if someone doesn't reply in 24h as if someone doesn't reply in 1 month.

    It was only about 3 hours, I just wrote up the post as soon as I was done with other work today.

      "asking for the copied text to be removed, although I haven't received a reply and no longer expect to" => so you mean you lost all hope for an answer to your email within 3 hours? (;

        Well after my payment didn't show up, I put 2 and 2 together and concluded (clearly incorrectly) that the site didn't actually work. :)

        The timing of all of this is rather unfortunate, because I am currently on a boat on vacation with limited wifi. I have updated the copy of the website and will continue to make changes to it in the near future.

        Well to be fair, it doesn't actually work. He did say he does it manually.

  To be clear, you had a problem and didn't get a response from customer service within 3hrs so concluded the entire website was a scam? To me that sounds even more reckless than anything that site did.

You still haven't addressed the fact you copied shit from his website verbatim, dude. WebAssembly can't come soon enough.

Cool, why did you rip off OP's creation?

    It is not the ideal we are concerned about. It is the blatant a copyright violations

If you're having to manually update transactions, that might be worth mentioning on your site.

You don't even need a working app or an original idea anymore to create an MVP. Just (literally) copy a competitor and do everything manually on the backend. When you make enough money you can pay someone to build it.
