For clarity purposes.

   1. Our research is based on monitoring main net transactions and network
   activity - as too is our risk engine. We do not engage in specific hashing
   pool assessments or research.
   2. It is not easily possible or comfortable to engage with our clients
   to offer up their client names and applications - the competition is fierce
   and like other industries it is not an acceptable approach to ask.
   3. The information offered by Coinpaid and posted on this list, provides
   root addresses which using tools like Chainanlysis, or
   similar service providers can confirm these addresses are associated with
   Coinspaid. This can validate a significant amount of our traffic.
   4. Based on the information provided it will be very possible to reach
   out to Max at Coinpaid - and will be able to confirm GAP600 use with
   Coinspaid. This is in addition to me posting an email from Max back in Dec
   2022 to this list confirming all of this information.
   5.  It is more than likely that Changelly has not implemented our
   service across all irts offerings, a large section of their business is
   servicing partners.
