This removes BL3P from the European section of the Exchanges page. They
are only allowing people to sign up who have invite codes, which would
preclude the majority of people discovering the exchange via bitcoin.org
from transacting with them.
This will be merged once tests pass.
This PR makes a technical clarification / change to the listing for the
Norsk translation of the Bitcoin paper, renaming the reference to "Norsk
(Bokmål)". This is because "Bokmål" is the type of Norwegian it's
written on, not the language itself.
This will be merged once tests pass.
This removes Bit2C (bit2c.co.il) from the exchanges page and will be
merged once tests pass. Their site is down and it appears their
service has been discontinued.
This drops Bitcoin Australia from the Exchanges page and will be merged
once tests pass. Upon additional review, we discovered that this website
maintains a similar near-identical algorithmic content-based layout as
two websites that were not added to the Exchanges page in #2949:
+ bitcoin.co.uk
+ bitcoin.ca
Searching for 'The Trusted Cryptocurrency Exchange' - a component of the
title tag that all of these websites share - revealed two more sites
that also share this layout:
+ bitcoin.eu
+ bitcoin.com.tr
At some point Google will drop these sites from their index because they
are all sharing similar/duplicate content. Ensuring they are not linked
to from bitcoin.org will help protect the site's domain authority and
page rank.
This drops iCE3X from the list of South African exchanges and will be
merged once tests pass:
+ The footer of the website appears to be broken and is missing links to
things such as their Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Support pages
when a user isn't logged in.
+ The Help link in the header of the site doesn't appear to be loading
and redirects to a login page.
+ We reset our password on an existing account but did not receive a
temporary password along with reset instructions.
+ When creating a new account, all emails received that were pertaining
to the new account went to Spam.
+ The exchange doesn't have any SPF records for the primary domain that
emails are sent on behalf of which will cause emails sent on behalf of
the company to go to spam, and also make it easier for others to spoof
the exchange in attempt to phish customer account information (since
legitimate and illegitimate emails will both end up in spam).
This drops bitFlyer's Japanese site from the list of exchanges in Japan,
as they are currently no accepting new user registrations due to issues
with regulators.
