My coin withdrawals on BTER have been pending for over a month.  Sent them multiple tickets and emails and they have yet to fix it.   >:(

Yes they are a scam exchange, 7,170 bitcoins were hacked. Search in google bter hack news.

"Waiting for balance..."
"Pending"

For over 1 month.   >:(  >:(

They've had multiple issues in the past. Only safe path for them now would be to join OpenLedger as it's safer and they can - for once - provide their costumers with the needed transparency.

I never had any problems before when I was using BTER.  Since after the hack, I think they're having liquidity problems.  So advice everyone not to deposit BTC over there.

.

Is BTER a scam exchange?  YES.  They burnt befoe and will again.

if you find yourself asking then you already have your answer

Many exchanges as bullshit too.

Use 1EX.trade as they are not.

they all do.. because the scene died.

i have had plenty of problems with them and watched them pull some scammy stunts !
long story short they kept the deposit address open for CENT and kept taking coins
then left the CENT trading market open and kept all the coins people sent.
me and a few others i ran into had this problem.. they took me for a few BTC i would never see again.
i lost a good 3-$5,000

and on another coin every deposit i made vanished and i had to email support about 4 times on 4 different transfers in a row.
and i mean i went through support asked what the problem was they said nothing and said "check your balance"
then my coins would show up.. then like a few days later or a week or two etc
i would do the same thing and get the same response.. i would ask "did i do something wrong ?"
i would ask i had the correct address right ? (and i know damn well i did.. every time)
and each time they would just put the coins into my account and say nothing (no explanation)

if you never had problems consider yourself lucky but DO head peoples warnings.

edit:
and people wonder why i quit this stupid scammy ponzi crapfest ? LOL
i have a million stories like that or know other guys who went through worse
so it's cute noobs come along and rammble on (as usual)
"..well i never had a problem"

My advice is be very cautious with any exchange.. they are all broke LOL

Yup http://www.coindesk.com/bter-to-return-hacked-funds-following-security-partnership/  :-\ >:(

Bter is actually a good exchange overall. But if they got some problems with wallet software or blockchains their communication is very bad.

FYP.

They are never the same after the hack.  Trading volme over there got worse and never improved.  Stay away.

BTER is a stuck pig.
Can they come back?  Maybe.

But yes after the hack it has not found a way to re-establish legitimacy.

I have lost money on craptsy
and never on bter

5 weeks and they still do not return my coins.   >:(
