ZBD discontinued its services in my region. How about in your place? I've been using ZBD for a few years and enjoyed playing its games in my free time to earn some sats. With this decision, they'll surely lose a lot of users.

This ZBD is a scam, they suspended my account, I contacted them and they did nothing, I lost a lot of sats.

Like many exchanges, they are a regulated custodian (but without being an exchange). If your country has laws that don't permit them to have you as a customer, they won't have you as a customer. This will rinse and repeat forever. Learn how to use lightning noncustodially.

That link also illustrates how ZBD was used as a wallet for other apps. Something something about #IToldYouSo but in reverse. Going non-custodial was the right choice for SN~~

Can you show the full list of affected countries?

reply

Show you with screenshots.

What happens to the wallet balance after the deadline to withdraw them?

They will just steal the sats?

And they will abruptly end customer support for the customers in these regions too?

Sounds like it. Those were never your sats to begin with until you withdrew.

More reason to treat custodial wallets like literal physical wallets you put cash in and what you lose in a bar or club

Interesting that no European countries are included

Maybe we have already been banned a while ago? haha

The best wallet of all is the Wallet of Satoshi, simple and practical.

also custodial. can, will and has rug pulled users.

reply

Yes, that's my go-to wallet.

reply

If ZBD wallet is going away in your area, WoS can't be far behind.

It's a custodial wallet all the same.

reply

Another custodial wallet bites the dust, time to migrate to an LSP compatible wallet and put in your big boy pants

reply

or just run your own lightning node, or use zeus wallet or phoenix.

LSP's are all rug pullable.

reply

Lol bro you asking someone to move straight from custodial? thats a hard sell, clearly they were okay with % of ruggablity that wasn't their issue

reply

It's easier then you think. try it sometime.

reply

They also now require ID verification for all withdrawals. Maybe Stacker News should start a ‘Stacker Games’ division and put these guys out of their misery.

Good that you still managed to get your sats and they are safe, but unfortunately I had my account suspended there and lost about 30 thousand sats.

reply

Oh! That's a lot of sats. Sorry to hear that. I withdrew my sats immediately after I got the email about it.

reply

Yeah the ZBD app is terrible. Sucks this fun entry point into lightning and gaming is such a disaster

reply

Still available in Singapore

Sorry to hear that

reply

Still working for me.
