Title: Anyone noticed the C-CEX April fools prank?
Post by: Monnt on April 01, 2016, 12:33:45 PM
I'm scared of going into the site now, because it keeps crashing my Chrome on my phone haha.

It's a ball that rolls and picks up all the text on the screen. I went there to sell my ether when the price hit 0.029 but I couldn't because of that.  :-\

I noticed that ball animation moving around my phone screen and I could not do anything to remove it, I thought that the site was hacked or something like that.

It was some hours ago, earlier in the morning at my timezone gmt+7, and yeah it was on my chrome mobile but the animation is not showing again after re-opened my browser. It must be a April Fools surprise.. :)

On a firefox browser right now and there's nothing at all. Anyway it's kind of not good for an exchange to prank like that IMO.

This is the link. If you remove the =happy, it gets rid of the animation. That was a sick joke. I lost my chance to make $10 :(

I am sorry for your loss. $10 could be a large profit for some kinds of altcoins. The exchanges should not do that.

Agreed. I only realised after the incident happened that I could bypass it. Well, I have 10 ETH just lying around now.

yesterday all kinds of crazy things were going on.
i have also visited c-cex and i found the sphere interesting but it was also annoying, they should have made it so it would go away if you clicked on it not just stick around,
luckily i was just checking some stuff out i didn't have anything important so i just played around with the ball and then left :D
