KYCNotMe admin supports this scam by still allowing OpenMonero ads, KYCNotMe guilty too.
You lost trust by hiding proof and dodging questions.
Users lost XMR to your exit scam! You covered up hacks instead of fixing security.
OpenMonero is a SCAM and plagiarized branding to deceive.
OpenMonero has not conducted any exit scam, and all transactions remain transparent and verifiable on openmonero.com/markets. No hacks were covered up,refunds are ongoing, security improvements are ongoing, and issues are addressed openly.

We don’t support anything. This is a community-contributed service with a clear banner stating it hasn’t been reviewed. It doesn’t appear in search results or the main list unless users enable the “Community contributed” filter. We’ve maintained an alert event on OpenMonero since the reported issues began.
A total of 78 XMR (approximately $25,000 USD) was lost in scam. The official website’s red warning was removed even though not all users have been refunded. They appear to be targeting new victims, so it’s best to stay far away from this service. The site admin has a poor reputation on Bitcointalk and is considered incompetent, making unfounded claims. Avoid this service at all costs.
Interface could be improved, there are quite a few typos as well. While decentralized P2P is certainly better, this site still functions fine, and I was able to sell almost 1 XMR.
If they refund all the users then we should remove the red tags or at least change them to neutral.
I decided not to waste any more of my time on it, actions speak louder than words and from what I have seen, your actions speak volumes.
I don’t see a thread on this supposed hack with supporting evidence and you deleting threads is a immediate RED FLAG in my eyes.
SCAMMERS cover up and try to hide their actions so whether you pulled an exit scam or not no longer matters in my mind.
Your actions of covering up, not being transparent as you claim to be and instead attack another project just proves to me your a scammer.
Added context: BitconTalk thread shared by the OP
We appreciate the feedback and understand the concerns raised. Regarding the recent incident, we want to reassure our users that about 11 individuals have already been refunded, and we’re actively processing reimbursements for the remaining affected users. We take security and transparency very seriously, and we’re committed to making things right. Thank you for your patience and continued trust as we work to strengthen the platform for everyone.
Added context: Rating disabled, makes no sense whith this comment.
OpenMonero is shady. They’re using LocalMonero’s name for promotional purposes without legitimacy, and have done plagiarism by copying the content + style of eXch’s ANN. Looking at the ANN and their Terms of Use more deeply, we can also find contradictions. This service should be avoided!
Added context: The rating is disabled because, while user raises valid concerns, seems not have had any personal negative experience with the service or tested it.
Avoid using this service. Due to a hack, I lost 2 XMR, and I received no compensation. The admin removed any notices about the issue from the site and is ignoring the situation. Stay away.
What is your username on the platform? The admin will check your account and send you a partial refund. Normal users have to wait, since vendors are first on the list. If you have no patience, you shouldn’t use p2p platforms in the first place. I have to assume that you are a spammer if you don’t share your username.
This is not true. Yes, it’s correct that the funds were hacked, but the admin is actively trying to refund all users. I have already received my refund, and the admin will continue refunding other users and vendors gradually as the website earns profit from trading fees. This person is spreading false information. My username on OpenMonero is: Tamshal, and I am a vendor who got refunded by the admin. ❤️
Looks like you’re spreading false info on purpose. The admin already refunded most vendors on July 18 (check t.me/p2p_monero_talk for proof).
There’s a big notice on the front page (see the latest news), and logged-in users can see a notification at the top of every page with the amount that’ll be refunded.
If you’re not a popular vendor, you just need to be patient.
had a good experience overall. trader used a different currency than expected and the xmr amount was lower in the end, but both trader and customer support worked well with me despite transfer delays.
Doing multiple trades on the platform as seller and buyer, it works great. Same as localmonero did. Thanks for the good service.
Added context: The user has provided a trade URL but we can’t verify it because access is restricted.
getting hacked and losing all user funds is a brutal reminder that trusting your coins to any third-party platform is just asking for trouble seriously, do not use custodial services if you care about your money!
Trade went through. Received the Monero and all is well. Not a scam and it was possible to do everything on the platform anonymously: No sensitive data required for an account or the trade
Does kycnot see real consequence making decisions? See what happens! See if you get spam facts from counterparty? Consequences!
