Be warned, this is a very very elaborate scheme to phish peoples cc data. If you dig around, you will see that there is a ton of fake blog posts to give it some fake credibility citing the same thing with fake timestamps and such. Once you look into the coin itself, its linked to a bunch of super shady sites and if you want to "cash out" theres only one super shady site that requires you to enter your cc number cvv and expiration date. Wonder why they need that :)


This is complete nonsense. There are no blog posts about SwiftDemand nor is there any place where you have to enter in sensitive data. If you want to make claims like this please cite sources instead of being an "online detective".

Edit: I just did some digging myself, it appears that there is another currency called Swiftcoin out there that is based on the blockchain that I was not aware of. Please be aware that this Swiftcoin is in no way related to Swift Demand. I may need to change the name of Swift Demand's currency to avoid people accidentally assuming these are related.

Second Edit: I have updated the website and removed all references to the term Swiftcoin. The website will continue to be SwiftDemand, but the currency will simply be called coins.


Sorry for the accusation, but the two sure seemed very similar in terms of naming. One thing I did notice is that your execution of the website was leagues away from the rest of the guys but I just assumed they uped their game. I'll play along with the project since if it is legit is, it is interesting to me and would provide value.

Good luck with the project. Also if you need extra input feel free to ask.


There is a cash out option? Where did you dig? google for the domain?
