Title: Cryptopia turning into a scam?
Post by: eight5nine on January 01, 2018, 12:44:30 PM
By the looks of things it seems as if Cryptopia is going under....fast...Everyone is missing deposits, support is non-existent. Yet, from the looks of their social media everything seems to be running fine, hell, they're even adding new coins! (of which you lose your deposit when you send it). No word from support on any public platform about the massive amount of people missing funds for weeks. Honestly, it's feeling like Cryptopia went from decent to a complete scam overnight.

I am sorry to hear of this bad news. I used to use Cryptopia a lot until I got hacked once, when there was amass hacking, then they changed to a better safety standard, but I used to think their support was pretty decent. I haven't done a trade there in more than a month now so I don't know what is happening right now. I will go check it out again in a few days and see what it's like again. Maybe the festive season has slowed everything down, including support.

I have used Cryptopia only for Electroneum once. Haven't faced any issue though. But yeah, never trust these small exchanges, In fact its difficult to trust any exchange for that matter after the Mt. Got Case. Normally you can get small coins into Cryptopia by paying around $25000 if I'm not right.

But talking about OP's problem it could be a bug that caused this. And due to holidays the support would have been limited. Try checking their twitter or reddit for any updates. I faced a similar issue on Bitfinex XRP withdrawal. I was charged fee of 0.02 BTC. The support still hasn't responded back.

When the exchange opens a section of buy / sell - large traders will not come to it. This section is the first sign that everything is bad on this exchange.

Same here, I transferred XEM a few days ago and their is nothing in my account.  I wrote support 24 hours after the transfer and haven't heard anything.  Check their forums for issues and it's wide spread.  I'm just glad my transfer was small.

Well for me i have not experience to trade or used the crytopia as what you said you just have once hacked to so i need to be wise in trading desicion .
And  next time we must become wise and becareful.

what you said made me confused. your account is a newbie and register on 24/12/2017
I'm not sure that you are having trouble with crytopia or you are trying to reduce their reputation
I used crytopia a long time and most of my Bitcoin lies in it. I've been having a problem with deposit doge into it and support a rapid response. Please wait patiently

all the centralized exchanges are scam until proven otherwise.
even the biggest ones like Bittrex have scammed people out of millions of dollars worth of bitcoin and altcoins combined and there is nothing anybody is doing about them!

massive amount of people missing funds for weeks.

can you give us some more information about this because i have not seen anyone complaining yet. i am using Cryptopia without a problem so far but i would like to be aware if there is some real problem going on.

Is this true? I am using it for my tokens (cryptopia is the only i can use as of now for that specific token). Also, i thought its one of the major and know exchange, thanks for the info, its just a small exchange site. As of now, i dont have any issue regarding with it. I am hoping i dont experience one. But, a while ago as i check their site, iys keep on having an error and i cant check my account. I dont know if this is just their maintenance or theres really something happening

I am using cryptopia as well but I am not experiencing any difficulties with them. Can't you site some links or screen shots to prove your allegation?

I agree with OP as last month in mid i have sold some old altcoin which gave me good price and then i gave withdrawal request and when they are sending the confirmation email in that the link to confirm the withdrawal is not highlighting and support is not responsive. It was my smartness that i found it through mouse cursor difference and confirmed my transaction. I was using this exchange for more then 2 yrs but now i am not feeling safe to use this exchange for any transaction.

No wonder at the start I feel this site might turn to a scam site someday. Its so sad to see in our own site trading sites are closing and stealing customer's crypto money. Watch out, Etherdelta is already on its way.

This exchange site just the same like hitbtc, because both were not giving any response to the users. This is very sad how people are still believing in this exchange site. As you can see how the people come to the centralized exchange because they are thinking the fees was really cheap. All of the centralized exchange is very risky.

Is this based from your own personal experience or this is based on someone else's rant about Cryptopia. I am not trying to defend Cryptopia or I am paid to defend them in any way but I never had any bad experience from them (yet). I used Cryptopia because of ETN and OTN, I earned some from my trades there and I am happy (so far) but complaints from others? I haven't seen one yet.

This should be moved into Service Discussion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=85.0)

Heard quite a bit of good reviews from them way, way back and some even recommended it as one good exchange platform out there. Never used the site, nor even bothered registering since these exchanges popping up here and there (like Mintpal in 2015) share almost the same generic design and accepts all kinds of coin without even considering what the coin can actually do or if there is any substantial support from the community and not just because the devs paid for their coin to be listed.

Never heard of that,i use cryptopia for a long time, and they are pretty good.It is werid  that you are only a newbie, and make only one post,which is "Cryptopia turning into a scam? "

Many users have already been reporting weird deposits not appearing on their balances, or balances that were there but only went missing after a few hours/days.

Every exchanges have a same case like that. Delays are normal and I even have an experienced like that in the past but it doesn't lasts for long (Poloniex (took up 24 hours), Bittrex, Coinexchange and Cryptopia itself (for hours) ) (BTC, ETH and some altcoins).

As far as my own experienced in Cryptopia is concerned, there is no major problem I encountered here. So cross fingers that I will not experienced one.

All of the centralized exchange is very risky.

Since the beginning, using trading platform is really risky but we don't have a choice since we can't fully enjoy trading without their service.

Dude , if this is true then I would probably withdraw all the funds I have in my crytpopia account. I used to buy all the other currencies using that and I would like to tell you that it served me as a good exchange site . But I don't know whether it's a technical issue or a scam attempt exactly. Would surely get into the matter before taking any decision. Please update this thread with more news about the site.

Some people do tend to make some words without having strong basis or evidence that this exchange had gone scam. Ive been using this site too which i can say i dont experience any problems besides on sometime the site loads very slow which isnt really a big deal for me because i do make access later on and gone fixed which i do treat it as a normal thing on exchanges.

I can't expect any problem for now in cryptopia, maybe there were an enhancement happen. The problem is they can't send any notice regarding with that, hoping that vanishing of amount in my account was not happen. Dude just reviewed the transactions history maybe it was happen due to trafficking.

Any exchanges do have the potential to become a scam but I would say for cryptopia its too early to make an exit scam. There are really some problems but yet they do resolved it and the thing I can complain is regarding on their announcement which they should really make some attention to that which they should let users know about the situation if theres a maintenance or what so that we would not keep on guessing on whats happening to them.

They should somehow let people know or give an explanation about the problems that the users are experiencing especially if it is in huge number already. All exchanges have these support pages but when you contact them about a problem, their reply looks like an answer from a bot and it make you feel like talking to a robot. They should have people who will be in charge of the support and they should really give attention in giving announcements to their users.

I thought at first that it will be a good exchange since it is one of the good exchanges for beginners in trading. I also like their user-friendly interface. I will start withdrawing my coins there and start moving it into my wallet, I don't wanna lose the coins I have.

Actually last month was my last time using cryptopia as favorit exchanger. It was running fine on that time. So i am sad when i heard this news. If cryptopia going to be scam then will be very bad news for its exchanger.

Criptopia is rising cryptocurrency exchanges. Actually they will be more profitable for them to keep on rheir good job. They can earn a lot of profit from trading fee instead of turn into scam. Cryptocurrency is becoming something bigger and profitable.

Not their fault if shitcoins are under attack when international scamming groups are pumping them, every body says that Bitcoin is slow and fees are high, coins like XEM don't even have any network activities like Bitcoin, but when people jump on them because of FOMO they would get fraction of what Bitcoin is getting every day.
Shitcoins don't get pumped *1000000000 for you to dump your bags and get out, these are coordinated events, exchanges like Cryptopia are innocent.

Im also thinking about this, why would they turn into scam now of all time? when the Cryptocurrency trading is booming, when they earn from trading fee. I really doubt they are so stupid to do that.

The majority of new ICO coins go to cryptopia directly. Cryptopia accepts new coins straight away from the ICO which it needs to check their API and everything correctly which requires some time and work. Delays happens.Open a support ticket.

Many traders are furious that support are slow to act, many tickets are unresolved and funds are indeed going missing--based from what I've seen from their twitter account.  Also, they are undergoing frequent maintenance; seems fishy to me. I hope you fix your problems, OP.

Many factor that indicates that this not good but recently many exchanges have this issue and must admit very slow response time.
Guess that time when we all got our fast response is long time gone.

Many exchanges are really going under duress right now. I have a pending withdrawal of ETHEREUM coming from hitbtc and it's 24 hours and I still haven't received my ETH and ETH is supposed to be faster than Bitcoin. The problem with these exchanges is they want to profit form the fees and they charge big fees but they use little gas to send our monies and it's frustrating, so Cryptopia ain't the only exchange with problems now. sigh.

is the withdrawal button in hitbtc already available? I have some amounts in hitbtc but due to the team already disabled the withdraw button and then i can't cash out my money from there.
But hitbtc gives the latest update about due to the network congested of ethereum and then all of the ethereum transaction become pending. But it looks true in my opinion. https://etherscan.io/txsPending

Currently cryptopia is having some problems with removing the coin from the floor, I also sent support and the manager of cryptopia announced it will fix soon. People should not be so worried, Cryptopia is a good commercial site, sometimes encountered some error is normal and acceptable. This is my opinion.

I dont think Crytopia turning to scam, they just do maintance to sercue our coins. Seem the affect from Intel chip is too much, so they have to do more maintance.

They actually have a pretty decent customer support. The only that kills me is their fee. 0.001 BTC fee for a 0.0005 withdrawal. Where's the justice in that?

Many traders are furious that support are slow to act, many tickets are unresolved and funds are indeed going missing--based from what I've seen from their twitter account.  Also, they are undergoing frequent maintenance; seems fishy to me. I hope you fix your problems, OP.
If you are talking about other crypto so you can lose and may be they are scammed but if you are talking about bitcoin is there is no reality and there is no chance that bitcoin is scammed because bitcoin is trust worthy and that why every county there are going to accept bitcoin and some rich companies are also accepting bitcoin and some banks also accept bitcoin which mean bitcoin is safe for its users it always give profit to its years.

They have great support and for surely are not a scam website guys come on. They probably have too many requests, withdrawals and everything else at once to handle it. I will concede that their fee is annoying sometimes going as high as 0.002 but I have seen worse and you should make it a point to not withdraw BTC until it is a small % of your withdrawal. Not a scam though they are probably understaffed if anything at the moment.

16 days ago I sent an #ETN deposit from my wallet to Cryptopia, and has not yet been credited. The same day I opened a support ticket, no response so far. I created a thread in the Cryptopia forum there are already 240 interactions with the same problem. Their only response was to say that it was the users fault, but my transaction was perfect and there is all the data in the blockchain. In my Twitter profile I am retweett users with the same problem. What to do? Wait a year?

Small time exchanges. They are risky to use. Better look for another one like poloniex and bittrex. This will always happen but I am hoping the new ones after the ICO will not be the same.
Lack of support and answers will really face bigger problems and this trading site is just like that.
Poloniex seems not to answer the tickets but they are looking into it after you submit a ticket. Yes, I have experienced it once.

Is Crypotia scamming or will I receive these coins? They are avaible on block explorer.

Poloniex has problems and stay the hell away from Bittrex.
There are thousands of accounts at Bittrex held hostage, unable to withdraw.



Bittrex lets you register and deposit, then tells you that it requires identity verification using driving license scans, etc before you can withdraw. If you give it the driving license scans you most likely still can't withdraw because it can take months to manually process the scans if the automated system fails.

Poloniex is also switching to requiring identity verification using driving license scans, etc.

Most trading site including cryptopia have their own issue like deposite/withdrawing, laggy platform and late response from admin I use cryptopia in almost half year most of my coin are traded in that site and I dont experience any problem in that site Im sorry to hear that you experiencing problem in that trading site I suggest to you to open the support chat and ask about your problem hoping the result will find as soon as possible.

Bittrex closed a registration for a new users, there're not all coins at Poloniex, Binance also closed a registration. So, for many of new traders, there're no variants exept Cryptopia. And if the last one will not be working normal, there're nowhere to trade at all.

Apologies on the dely on my response. Just wanted to clear some stuff up;

Yes this is from personal experience - i have sent a deposit to Cryptopia on Dec 21'st, funds never showed so i put in a support ticket and i have still to this day not heard back from them. I then went into their discord channel a few days ago and they basically made it seem like it wasn't a problem at all. The staff completely blew the issue off and said it was simply "growing pains". If you take a look at their social media accounts you'll see mentions of this and no responses. Reddit is saying the same thing about this site; The only reason i used it was to purchase ETN when it first came out and it's just been hell trying to recover my funds.


Side note; i am new to these forums but i am not new to Crypto. I always lurked here but never registered so the whole "newbie" argument isn't really valid. I didn't create this account simply to flame Cryptopia - i just wanted to finally join the community.

Same issue. I tried to withdraw my ETH value and altough they created TX for my transaction, I cannot see it any ETH blockchain explorer. Also, there is nothing in my wallet about this transaction.

I agree with you about cryptopia's situation. I think they're turning into SCAM very fast.

I'll wait for my ticket's result. I let you know about the issue.

Problems still presist as withdraws appear to be selective... ie I've had BTC go out lightning quick but now have two stuck BPL withdraws.

Course it goes without saying that they cannot disable markets and coins to maintain a stable platform... that would cut into profits. Instead the end user suffers. Just another day in crypto.

I know exactly how you feel. I went into their discord and tried to get some clarity in their discord and the admins basically told me that the missing deposits/withdraws weren't that big of an issue. Apparently the site is "Running fine" and that the people complaining just looks like a lot because they're making a lot of noise. Completely turned me off. I don't understand how potentially thousands of dollars being up in the air right now isn't that big of a deal. Any multi-million dollar company should have absolutely no issues hiring support. ESPECIALLY when other peoples' money is at stake.

Mt Gox anyone?


On another note, i finally received my deposit today. Timeline goes as such

Dec 23rd 2017- Sent ETN to Cryptopia (They never showed) so i placed a ticket
Jan 11th 2018- Recieved a generic reply to the ticket saying they see that there is an issue with my deposit and they will forward my ticket to someone that can help.
Jan 30th 2018 - Funds added to balance

Even though i have received my coins today, i will no longer be using Cryptopia services after this whole ordeal. I have absolutely no trust in their exchange anymore.

It's not just a scam, or at least one in the making, but they also badly suffer from insolvency. My impression is that they are trying to remain operational as long as possible by letting people withdraw funds that others deposit.

It's basically a scheme structure where as long as people keep depositing funds, some people will then be able to cash out, just to wake the impression that they didn't turn into a complete scam yet.

I have made a deposit of 1 Neblio today, it is not showing currently . I will update this post if I see something in my cryptopia exchange wallet .

Yes, and now try to withdraw your funds and let everyone know how things go. Depositing funds is the easiest part, getting them out is something that remains to be seen. I however don't see the point of depositing funds there.

Is there a specific reason why you have done that (aside from 'testing' purposes)? Because nothing justifies to feed a bunch of **potential** con artists.

Thats what we do.

What do you mean by "lying things" ?

What do you mean by "lying things" ?

He basically says that people with their problems are lying just because he isn't experiencing any problems, which is a pretty stupid point. Just because he isn't experiencing any problems (by his words), it doesn't automatically mean that others who do experience problems aren't telling the truth. If he just took the effort to do a simple search on internet, he would find out how many people actually suffer from problems and the incompetence and potential insolvency of that exchange.

If you have a problem about Cryptopia then you can post your concern here. We might help you because i trade on that exchanges and i don't have any problem at all.

Just because you trade on that exchange and don't experience any problems it doesn't automatically make you an authoritative figure capable of solving people's matters here. A lot people struggle with stuck withdrawals that only the exchange itself can do something about. So mr problem solver, how will you take care of people's withdrawal problems?  ;)

Hey any Cryptopia admins or staff here, whens the banking issue being resolved?

And without the ability to transfer fiat to the exchange, is there any other way to get money into your exchange? IE could someone turn up at your doorstep and give you a wad of nzd to trade with?

There shouldn't be this much withdraw and deposit problems.   I've had so many processing or stuck deposit or withdrawal.  No other exchange I've dealt with has this problem except cryptopia.

What I noticed about Cryptopia is that when I deposit my coins into my cryptopia wallet the ADMINS move it out of my wallet into somebody else's wallets before I even sell the coins.  I do not know the procedure or how they manage the coins into the system but shouldn't my coins be in my wallet?  It seems to me when they don't have enough coins at the time of withdraw or deposit it's stuck on processing or delayed until the admin fix the transaction.

I'm having a problem withdrawing from Cryptopia. Every time I get to this step:


http://up.picr.de/29217750pz.jpg


The bar where I am supposed to enter the Withdraw Address is greyed out.

Same problem with PRL, LTC, BTC.

I've made successful withdrawals from them in the past so I know the procedure. I'm wondering what's going on - anyone else having similar issues?

Just a guess, could it be that the problem is only related to penny coins that requires many connections but has no sufficient miners?

Could it be that if one withdraws in BTC, ETH, LTC... etc. there’d be no withdrawal issues?

PS I have PROC withdrawal stuck in processing. And I have chunks of XEM and MAID kept put in the Cryptopia exchange in fear of withdrawal issues.

It's a complete farce.

There they ask people now to contact them. With support tickets they will not answer.

Looks pretty much playing for time and exit scam to me. Someone in New Zealand should contact law enforcement before they run away.

Certainly not the first exchange to pull such a stunt and get away with it.

That is how Ponzi works in the end, get as many as you can to stay alive as long as you can, before it all implodes. Not saying Cryptopia is Ponzi, but they may have been hacked and try to cover it up. Or they may just want to take the money, now that it is enough, and run. Who knows. All that it says, how they handle the situation, or rather not handle it and let people in the dark, makes it every day a more likely scenario that the funds may be lost.

Also need to consider damages due to funds unavailable that have to be charged to Cryptopia.

Particularly these are BTX which pays a weekly dividend of 6% each Monday and DeepOnion which pay a dividend of 3% each Friday. Probably more coins. Cryptopia have to compensate for that loss.

Cant comment on your experiences its a lot of work they've taken on themselves, all down to Electroneum listing and the massive influx of new users. They have a big backlog. But they've taken on 20 new staff to handle this.

I'm a user since June17 and have had no problems trading. Biggest issue they have is the NZD bank account closed so no new NZD deposits can be made. That's their main focus now sorting that. Right now, trading in the smaller coins on that exchange is just pointless, any problems and you'll wait weeks for a response. Stick to the bigger coins, top 10 market cap.

As to the company, I have first hand experience with them, they are in my home town Christchurch. They have an office in town that I've visited and the staff are exceptional people. This was back in August, of course now, the company has experienced 100 fold increase in business. Must be a very stressful environment. As to exit scamming, that is not even a remote possibility. This is not an eastern block backwater outfit. If I had even the smallest inclining of that I'd be at their front door, along with many many other kiwis.


Title: Re: Cryptopia turning into a scam?
Post by: marvel213 on February 19, 2018, 08:01:21 AM
I've already lost .3 bitcoins because of cryptopia keeping my coins hostage.

I still don't have my coins.  I don't have access to them.  Cryptopia has them or they don't have them so they can't pay me my coins.

Cryptopia always did have deposit and withdraw issues long as I can remember since last Summer.  It just wasn't bad or at least the problems cleared up within a day or 2.  Now they are in over their heads.  They can't fix the problem when it was broken in the first place.  Hiring more employees does not help as they can't seem to reply to support tickets over weeks if not months.


Although Cryptopia is registered as a Financial Service Provider in New Zealand their dispute resolution scheme membership is still pending. This means there isn't yet a resolution scheme you can engage with to have this resolved.

Generally when there is a dispute of this kind in New Zealand people are able to make an application to the Disputes Tribunal. The Disputes Tribunal receives applications for disputes up to the value of $20,000NZD.  If the amount in dispute is over $20,000NZD you will need to seek independent legal advice to see what kind of action can be taken to reclaim this amount.  Netsafe is unable to give you legal advice regarding this matter.


It seems Cryptopia is not completely insured.  Their dispute resolution membership is still pending.

The problem with such fraudulent activities and I call this such now is, if you get authorities involved and they shut down the business, confiscate all assets and put a law suit on the company, that will be it for years. There will be no coins, no reimbursements, no damages paid. It will just all fall in a black hole. Remember MtGox, I think nobody has seen anything back to date.

By the looks of things it seems as if Cryptopia is going under....fast...Everyone is missing deposits, support is non-existent. Yet, from the looks of their social media everything seems to be running fine, hell, they're even adding new coins! (of which you lose your deposit when you send it). No word from support on any public platform about the massive amount of people missing funds for weeks. Honestly, it's feeling like Cryptopia went from decent to a complete scam overnight.

Indeed...I can confirm they stolen coins from me on both deposits and withdrawals.

Dear all,
 
I'm from Indonesia and i have been with Cryptopia since Dec 2017. My first deposit was ETN on 22 Dec 2017 and NEVER had any problems aftersince on deposits or withdrawals (quite fast on both, withdrawals on BTC, BCH, ETH, all done nicely).  My latest deposit was 1.28 ETH yesterday, already 27 hours, still waiting thou.  Perhaps the ETH has been in dense traffiic due to many ICOs use ERC20 platform (Ether). Please give the staffs more time to process, i think they do it manually to avoid unwanted attacks.

You can check the status of all their wallets here:
https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/CoinInfo

There is no issue or delay with ETH or most of the affected other coins, wallets have sufficient connections and are up to date. Meaning what is going on is intentionally and not caused by technical problems. Cryptopia is hijacking funds. Let's only hope they still have the coins, which I seriously doubt.

Exactly.  I think when they don't have enough coins people ask for withdrawal they put it on processing until an admin picks it up and finalize withdraw.  That's shady business practice if they did.

It's confirmed now, they do it intentional and there are no technical issues at all.

I did another withdrawal of a small amount of 1.6 BTX to the same address. This went through. Another withdrawal of 220 BTX is stuck in "processing" for almost a week now. They keep higher balances artificially stuck in either deposits or withdrawals and are collecting the airdropped dividend of 6% every Monday, I have no longer doubts about this. The same is the case for DeepOnion which pay around ~3% in their "airdrop" every Friday. Shame on you, Cryptopia. You are thieves and it is proven now!!!

Cryptopia is insolvent, that is the only explanation, and they wait for BTC going up again to cover for their losses. So untill we see probaly BTC at 15000$ nobody will see any "processing" processed.

Cryptopia is insolvent, that is the only explanation, and they wait for BTC going up again to cover for their losses. So untill we see probaly BTC at 15000$ nobody will see any "processing" processed.

This is actually just funny at this point. I've been transferring BTC in and out, easily 10-15 transactions the past 2 weeks, no delays, all the "processing" was processed.

You obviously another cryptopia 2cent army..  It's all over the net.  Youtube, facebook, here, crytopia forums, twitter that cryptopia having withdrawal deposit problems.  Even cryptopia official announcement said they are having problems.  Support is non existent,.

So what? If you offer trading with 500 coins or so there are likely going to be issues with some of them. Most exchange can't even handle a handful of coins.

If you chose one of the ~10 coins that have issues right now - well it sucks to be you. You officially belong to the minority that has problems.

If you want to see a truly shitty exchange, go check out mercatox.

Papa-dope, listen up dude. If you're genuinely happy with the way Cryptopia works and have successfully managed to get your BTC in and out, then more power to you. But just stop and think about what how you'd feel and how you'd be reacting if you had a thousand bucks or more stuck in an exchange. You have no right and no place to minimise what others are experiencing, or worse, imply that ALL these long-time members are lying, simply because of your personal experience.

Furthermore at this point in time, all 6 of your posts are either in defense of Cryptopia on this thread, or suggesting Cryptopia as a good exchage in another thread. Can you blame others for thinking you're a puppet for them?

For your information, I used to really like using Cryptopia until their withdrawal isues became a commonly talked-about issue. I think they're a small exchange that got in waaay over their head and what that means is I'm going to get the hell out before this ship goes under.

Its good to see they are being proactive and hiring people to sort the backlog of issues.

Message from CEO Alan Booth

Dear Valued Cryptopians I am privileged to have been appointed by the Board as the first CEO of Cryptopia Ltd. Whilst this is an incredibly exciting opportunity to head up a leading cryptocurrency exchange and an innovator in the Fintech sector, I am aware that there are a number of very urgent priorities to address to ensure greater customer satisfaction and trust. Cryptopia has experienced incredibly fast growth (last quarter our user base grew by an astounding 940%) and as with any company expanding at this pace, we have faced many challenges associated with this growth. My commitment to you, our customer, is that our team will be 100% focussed on the short term urgent priorities of faster support response times, improved user experience and enhanced transparency and security. We acknowledge those that are suffering due to extended delays around support response times and I do understand the frustration. We apologise that you have experienced these issues and I guarantee that this will dramatically improve as we increase resource and attention in this area. Please ensure that you continue to lodge support queries through the appropriate channel. It also helps the team to close resolved tickets so they can prioritise. Directly contacting the team via social media channels won’t lead to a faster resolution and we ask for your patience as we improve our systems and processes in this area. Remember, I have only just arrived and the changes we make are for the good of all and will lead to the fastest resolution of all outstanding issues. My experience in working with tech start-ups demonstrates I am well placed to drive Cryptopia forward and under my leadership, Cryptopia will continue to evolve from a counter-culture start-up into a global player in the Fintech industry. Rest assured there are no more excuses – the team here are truly dedicated and focused on delivering a fast, secure and customer focussed cryptocurrency exchange. And we are here for the long game. You have my commitment to make weekly updates across all media and we will be honest and diligent in our dealings with you. Best wishes Alan Booth

He's no slouch he has a good track record. Getting him away from something as clever as yikebike is a great feat.
Lets see what the coming weeks bring.

Bubbles. They can make bubbles as long as they want to play along with our money. If there is no action, it makes no dent at all. Reputation is down the drain and I shall burn in hell if I use this exchange again. Till then we need to open a new ticket every day in hope that one day they will hire a support person to eventually delete them as they do in their forums. Always time for censorship it seems, just not to work support tickets.

There are so many people with missing funds.  "Look title"  SCAM.  They want you to deposit bitcoins and other crypto in to their exchange.  To get it out of that exchange.  Impossible.  No support no coins.

People are without their funds for weeks if not months. Cryptopia constantly adding new coins because they get money for those coins getting listed but to help their clients get their money back out of that exchange cryptopia don't do.

There is no support.  NONE far as I'm concerned.  I've been waiting 3 weeks and still no coins and support.  There are people who's been missing funds for months and still no support.

Cryptopia isn't an exchange you can trust and rely on.

I know I'm not alone here!!  I know there are many of you who are in a similar situation! So I propose the following:

1) We will all file a report with New Zeland Financial Dispute Resolution www.fdr.org.nz  ( we can use common template with private details filled in)

2) If FDR filing is no help and Cryptopia is still sleeping through this problem, we will file a legal action against Cryptopia to ask for compensation and to pay for our legal fees. I believe that at least I can show enough negligence to have a strong case against Cryptopia! And I'm sure many of you are in similar situation! This is the last resort to wake them up, and I hope we do not need to do this!!

The purpose of all this is to force Cryptopia to wake up and face the reality!!
Their client support is terrible and customers are suffering and angry - it is time for Cryptopia to wake up or get out of the sandbox!

Been using Cryptopia for about 2 months only. Did some small trades also. No problems with missing coins until now. However, the interface is slow (especially on Electroneum) and it took me about 1 day to see my NEO transferred to another exchange. Another weird fact is the very long maintenance on some wallets.

Guys as long as you can withdraw bitcoin, I dont think the problem is being solvent/scam or not.  Maybe they had a shitshow with all the altcoin wallets and stuff, OR, they got fucked with one alt and froze all other similar alts just in case.  People scam exchanges too - they sell coin, then hardfork the coin and make the exchange lose bitcoin, and gain orphans.

What kind of business are they running?  People are out of their money for weeks and months with no support from crytopia.

Cryptopia needs to fix their problems and give support to their customers who are missing funds.

The cryptopia order is still processing, almost a month soon.

Cryptopia is experiencing heavy load with support tickets. I had a problem with deposit in the beginning of January and filed a ticket the same day. I got an automated responce a month after that, then the real responce in another 2 weeks. Finally, my problem was resolved in a bit less than 2 months time. The amount was quite solid, so I was very nervous. But finally it was resolved. I wish everyone patience, it all should work out.

Do you know why you had to wait that long? It's because they didn't had the funds to credit you, which they managed to accumulate months later. Everywhere you see people complain about the same issues, which clearly shows that while Cryptopia might not yet be a scam by default, they definitely are somewhat cheating and insolvent to the core. In other words, make sure that you avoid this exchange, because when they at some point will go down entirely, you'll blame yourself for not having left that exchange when you still had the chance to do so. However, you state that your deposit issue has been worked out, now my question is whether or not you have tried to withdraw your funds already?


Title: Re: Cryptopia turning into a scam?
Post by: marvel213 on March 06, 2018, 04:38:56 AM
It's because Cryptopia is a scam or at very least incompetent exchange.

People had losses due do cryptopia holding their funds.  Either with airdrops dividends and or their coins prices going down while cryptopia is holding on to them. 

People should think twice before  using this exchange.  No coin is worth your losses grief and stress over cryptopia have done to their customers.

I´ll never use cryptopia again, does not seem reliable to me

I've been waiting 24 days.  Cryptopia is joke exchange.

Nowdays after every weeks we are hearing some or other exchange is proving out to be a troublemakers for its traders or investors either a delay in withdrawals happening or deposits not getting confirmed etc. Kindly request everybody to only trade with known and reputed exchanges which is being exists for some months or years if possible . This will help you to greater extent to avoid such problems going forward.

They may not be a scam, I believe they are insolvent and simply try to stay in the game as long as they can in the hope crypto recovers till then.

I'd find it more likely that they are stretched and have not upscaled staff and resources sufficiently to respond to demand.

I mean, how can they be insolvent when they charge altcoins $200,000 for a listing: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@hassy/exchanges-are-charging-altcoins-over-usd200-000-per-listing

They have people to post in forums like here, they maintain a FB group. But they have no people to answer simple support tickets that would take not more than 3 mins each?

I say they speculated with customer funds and got burnt when crypto crashed. Now they try to recover somehow, by holding funds hostage, staking them, take the airdrops and try to stay alive until crypto recovers. So I say they are insolvent now. 200k are peanuts if you have millions of $$$ on demand.

BTX and Onions got canceled. Now, how to get the money out of this shitexchange? Tried again with the Onions, processing again it says. But the BTX are worth way more, may exchange to BTC first, or which coin is possible to withdraw now?

Onions withdrawal just went through, will try BTX next.
BTX rescued as well.

Never again!

Cryptopia shouldn't even be in the business.  Not even a formal apology to the people who are affected.  People lost opportunities or even lost money because they can't seem to run an exchange.

I am in no way standing up for them due to 3 recent withdrawals not getting to my wallets, but they just posted:

"We've noticed an increase in the number of FAKE Cryptopia accounts on Twitter claiming to be giving away free cryptocurrency.
We would never ask our users to transfer funds to participate in a promotion!

I doubt Cryptopia is insolvent. Cryptopia is not that big as the other top 10 exchanges but it still remains as one of most reliable one. This is based on my friends already old in crypto. I felt sorry for some people that have issues left unsolved but maybe there is something wrong with documents submitted or perhaps network error by some coins that are not really under the fault of Cryptopia.

Took me almost 2 month to get a proper answer from the support, but finally they put back my coins in my wallet and I was able to withdraw it.
It can't be from the coin itself because they have this problem with several. They don't communicate much about it, not sure if it's good for them and the customers...

YES!!! Cryptopia withdraw all my BTC balance on their exchange without my approval to unknown BTC address without any notification even.
I was waiting for response for mare than a weeks and after I got a response with their sorry words without any proof of evidence just like this:

Quote
Thanks for waiting for us to get back to you about this.

I'm sincerely sorry to see this has happened to you. I've completed my investigation into this and can see that your account was actually accessed by another person - IP address 189.40.105.95. This IP address appears to originate from Brazil. We are absolutely certain there have been no user credentials leaked from Cryptopia, and if yours are known to someone else, they must have been obtained from activity or information of your own.

Your account was accessed by this IP address at 3/7/2018 2:40 AM(UTC), and then a minute after that, everything was withdrawn to the address 1HU7vN7dmsX2Et8RjCSwP1dhDyE49emr5k. Unfortunately, this is not a Cryptopia held address so we cannot freeze it to try and recover these funds. As this withdrawal has made it to the blockchain, there isn't anything we're able to do to reverse it, due to the nature of the blockchain itself. You can see this here:

https://blockchain.info/tx/de96cf30119fa3c295fa0794fd6a0036acc6f21479de047d4d04d6f095512558

The withdrawal was also confirmed via an email sent to your registered email address according to our systems, so you should consider that account compromised as well. You may not have received this email if your Withdraw confirmation email had been disabled when you were compromised, then re-enabled afterwards via the Security page at https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Security.

Unfortunately we’re unable to determine from our end how your email account was compromised, however the most common form we are seeing in these investigations is when the corresponding email address showing up on reported data leaks, and/or is being used for other internet services.

All Cryptopia accounts start with a static 4-8 digit Two Factor PIN number by default, which you set on registration along with your email address and password. This PIN is only a simple form of 2FA, and it’s highly recommended you set up a more secure type of 2FA once you’ve logged into your account. The most secure form of 2FA are dynamic codes, such as Google Authenticator and our Cryptopia Authenticator Device.

From the Security settings for your Account, you can change your 2FA settings of your choice for each activity field on Cryptopia. Please note that you need to remove your current 2FA setting for each activity before you can select and apply other types. 2FA is set for Login as well as a number of other account activities by default: Settings (Security), Lockout, Withdraw, Transfer, and Tip. You will need to enter your 2FA code each time you attempt to access any of these functions while 2FA is applied on them, If you use a static form of 2FA (PIN, Password, Security Question) please set this to something unique you do not use for anything else.

At this stage I recommend changing your email password immediately, It’s very important you use an email provider which supports 2FA on your email account. Please check if your current provider supports 2FA and enable it if so. If your current email provider does not support 2FA, we suggest you look into finding a provider which does support it, and you can then request Cryptopia Support to change your registered email address in a new support ticket. For extra security, we recommend that users of Cryptopia have a dedicated email address that's only used for Cryptopia related activity.

Much of your information, and access to other accounts, can be gained with access to your email account, so please ensure yours is secure.

A number of important emails may be sent from Cryptopia to your registered email address with information relating to activity on your account, such as logins, failed login attempts, withdraw confirmations. They often include links giving you the ability to quickly lock your account for a 24 hour period if you receive notification of activity that wasn’t made by you.

Another important thing to note, is that there are always phishing scams going on which disguise themselves as Cryptopia. We get these taken down as soon as we find them, however I would advise being very vigilant in that regard all the same. I would strongly recommend visiting https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Forum/Thread/5153, we try and keep this as up to date as possible. This goes into detail about the various scams that we've identified who are pretending to be Cryptopia and provides some examples you can have a look at to determine whether or not your details may have been compromised via one of these sites.

Please use caution to avoid using any unauthorised websites, apps, or search results which impersonate Cryptopia. Your login credentials should NEVER be used anywhere except on our securely signed site with a certificate from Cryptopia LTD [NZ]: https://www.cryptopia.co.nz

I can definitely appreciate that this is not the nicest way to learn about account security, and again, I'm sincerely sorry for your loss.

Kind regards,


Cryptopia Support

Who know how to get my money back from them?

In this case its similar to you dropping a $20 bill out of your pocket somewhere while out on the street and trying to find it again. Its gone. The hackers got in, raided your account. Nothing can be retrieved.

As it says in that email do those actions to secure your account.

Your pc could be compromised too, definitely get that checked out too.

Sorry man its gone, how much did you lose?

Sorry man its gone, how much did you lose?

I lost 1.4 BTC almost. I am using only iPhone so its not possible to compromize it as well as my gmail account have all secutity options enabled.


Cryptopia simply closing tickets and I have no opportunity to discuss my issue with them in a proper way to get refund of my money and answers on below questions:

1) How is it possible that someone accessed to my account if only I have login, password and pin code to it and I am always following all security recommendations?
2) Why I didn?t receive notification to my email regarding suspicious login from Brazil IP address 189.40.105.95?
3) Why I didn?t receive withdrawal confirmation request to my email? I have immediate notification of all new emails on my iphone.Cryptopia said that they send it to me and I confirmed it - but this is not true. Also they said that someone compromise my gmail account as well not only my cryptopia account but gmail account is not compromised - it is not possible as gmail tracking all my login history and have information about all authorized devices and report about new devices and IP addresses, it's easy to check.
4) Why cryptopia does not provide simple function like Login History to their clients?
5) Where is the proof of evidence that someone logged in to my account from Brazil IP address 189.40.105.95 as I don?t believe this information?
6) Where is a proof that they send me an email and I confirm withdrawal? This is not possible as my gmail account have no security issues. Screenshots are attached.
7) On their forum there are many complaints from users about unauthorized withdrawals, but they show only 25 last posts in their Forum search so people can't find similar issues. But I found one more user with nickname ?alberto9641? account balance was withdrawn to the same BTC address 1HU7vN7dmsX2Et8RjCSwP1dhDyE49emr5k on 16/03/2018 11:16:00 PM without his approval: https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Forum/Thread/8959?postId=54846.

Based on all these facts I made a conclusion that Cryptopia simply withdraw all my BTC balance to unauthorized account that may belong to one of their company members and take no responsibility about their actions and does not provide support with any facts that can proof that my account was compromised as it is their responsibility to provide secure financial operations.

Cryptopia as a company has a scammer mentality.  They are not responsible ever.

I absolutely agree. With no other exchange I faced the kind of problems like I do with Cryptopia. Before I transfer a larger amount of coins, I usually do a "test-transfer" with a small amount. If successful, I do the big transfer. In my case, small amount transfer worked in less than a minute, large amount transfer remained stuck on status "processing". Opened 3 support tickets, still no answer after days. Just for a test, I've transfered a small amount again with same coin and address, worked perfect. In the transfer history, the large amount transfer remains on processing. So I ask myself, what is really going on here. In future, I will only trade with their exchange if no other option and never amounts above $100. And I will never hold any BTC or larger amount of other coins with them. Who is willing to wait 3 weeks for an answer from the support? Me not!!! I don't trust them at all!!

Yes most of the exchanges that do not have many support team members, then all complaints will be very slowly resolved. I once asked that in an exchange, and he replied "it's hard to trust people to be hired on an exchange", yes it makes sense, because it's not easy to trust people to protect and keep assets of many people on an exchange.

I have a question: Is Cryptopia made any official announcement regarding on why some users have received various login attempts on their cryptopia accounts? I need to Fix it out.
Probably just data breaches using other information stolen from other sites to see if you use the same email and password basically.

I don't use cryptopia much but getting coins on the exchange is quick and also getting the coins off was really quick... so I don'y really see what the problem is. Perhaps in the occasion that there is a problem they don't have the capacity to deal with it effectively.

I sent a support ticket few hours ago and the waiting time is at 16 days they really should hire more people on their support team.

Happened to me as well, I had to wait for over a month for my deposit to be credited. No apology from them, no explanation, nothing.

They really struggled with support response from November to March due to an influx of new users. They recovered in March and April (and did some serious upgrades to their systems) and now have a 72 hour initial response target. More complex issues that require dev support take longer.

When they had announced that they were doing a lot of upgrades he made a withdrawal or deposit and his coins got stuck. At that time their support response took a long time. During that time his coins lost value against BTC. He never lost any coins.

I lost thousands @ cryptopia.  I don't care how much better they got.  I'm sure people who lost money there from lack of support feel the same way.

It's how they handled the situation.  They were attacking customers here and not even an apology to the folks who lost money.  Excuse after excuses for their negligence.

Cryptopia staff rarely go onto bitcointalk.

They and staff of other exchange sites do not need to go to bitcointalk. It's not necessary because they can support requests at the site.

I agree. Support requests through social media is just a invitation for scammers to phish users.

I guess it'd depend on your definition of 'scam'.

I'd be shocked if they aren't getting some kickbacks from adding all these shitcoins.  There is a disturbing amount of them now on Cryptopia.

Yet other "legit" stuff is strangely absent -- like the WAX tokens that Opskins has been pushing for 1/2 a year.

other stuff -- the support has always been slow, but i've never had issues with withdrawal and deposit.  sometimes it takes longer than it should.  a couple days at most, for me.  

the bitcoin fee was adjusted upward for reasons unknown a bit ago, despite bitcoin blocks not being (regularly) full for some time.  the fee could be 50 cents and they'd still profit more than 50% off of t hat.  instead, it's over $4. 

some nominal fee of 5 satoshi or something would be nice for sell orders.  maybe cut down a bit on the bots.

By the looks of things it seems as if Cryptopia is going under....fast...Everyone is missing deposits, support is non-existent. Yet, from the looks of their social media everything seems to be running fine, hell, they're even adding new coins! (of which you lose your deposit when you send it). No word from support on any public platform about the massive amount of people missing funds for weeks. Honestly, it's feeling like Cryptopia went from decent to a complete scam overnight.
I am a user of cryptopia and for me the exchange do not have any issue. My brothers and my friends are also using it from a longer time and we often trade on that exchange for electroneum and it goes nice and smooth without any issue.
I do not know that why you have that much complaints with that exchange. You make sure that you follow all of their guidelines. If you will read the terms and conditions of rules of any platform you want to join before registration and then follow them then you will not face any issue on there.

I dont know why are you saying cryptopia scam i say cryptopia is way more faster than livecoin they register deposits fast than livecoin and send withdrawal way more faster than livecoin like there's 1 - 2 hour delay on livecoin and livecoin is bigger compare to cryptopia. i never met any problems on both of the website but i say cryptopia is not scam.

Cryptopia has stolen a lot of money from random users and now they are continuously delisting coins that you cannot withdraw for one reason or another. They are a bunch of scammers that execute it slowly which in the end ends up being even more profitable. Trying to get far away as soon as I can.

I deposited some coins, confirmed via blockchain, all right.
Trying to support via facebook without response, ticket support tells it to be 72 hours, for something that would be virtually instant. It may not be a scam, but it's extremely slow and I do not recommend it, because it's frustrating to know if I'll be stolen from my coin or when it will be credit

yep, the same for example with TZC. After a "kind of issue" with withdraw they took TZC under maintenance on 7th dec without any detailed explanation. I tried to withdraw TZC before this, checked their TZC node status (there were 8 connections, it was synced to the correct latest block in that time) and my withdraw still keep in processing status. I was lucky that I was able to withdraw my several other coin wallets from that site during short time after this "issue".

They do a really nice POS mining with our TZC coins for almost last 3 weeks. Really smart solution from their side.

These kind of issues can bring a really bad reputation to this exchange. There is nobody trustworthy from Cryptopia team who can give us detailed explanation about the situation - maybe they really do not want to do it. Only sitting down and take money from people (during "unexpected" issues, or delisting and listing again for another fees). It used to be my first option to use Cryptopia, but it is not longer. It is the last option when there is no other chance for now. :-(

remember guys, Cryptsy did similar stuff before their end ...

The reply given is really vague. They are like avoiding to give the exact reasons

We cannot speculate on the security of other crypto exchanges, but can say that security is a top priority for Cryptopia.

Cryptopia is invested in adhering to the highest standards in coin listings to ensure our customers have access to an optimal trading platform.

They should focus on maintenance as well because it looks easy to accept money to list a coin on their platform but when it's about to do maintenance it's something else. Why implement so many coins if you can't handle then? Haa money...

That 100 market figure is incredible and an insult to users and developers. There is no way all of them have actual problems. If they're having real problems, and there can't be any other reason, they should come clean now and tell people how they plan to address it, if at all.

I also have some coins stuck on processing for 14 days now, around 5.000$ in coins...

This sucks.



The cryptopia order is still processing, almost a month soon.



They scammed me of compounding 4 weeks of BTX airdrops... A lot of money back then.

Just avoid them.

I used this exchange before when I was joining the signature campaign in Byteball, a time comes that I want to trade my reward coins into this exchange to BTC so, I decided to deposit my Byteball on this exchange. Luckily at that time, my transaction was going smooth but after days passed I had read here in section a different complained that they hold the deposited coin on their exchange. After that, I transfer into other exchange.
Yes, you're right this thread is enough to convince people to avoid the possible problems because they had different issues I have heard on this exchange better to stay away to avoid a serious problem in the future.

I have an account in this exchange and maybe it's one of those reputed and known exchange way back, after several reports of lost funds because of 2fa bug/breakdown, hack accounts without any login/withdraw notifications, maintenance of withdrawing after depositing a large amount of funds, and lack of support.
I tried to avoid using them at any cost and other people should too.
This behavior should be avoided and if possible don't use this exchange if ever--coz it will only give problems to you or to someone.

I am also used cryptopia few times,they were quite good except their high fees but now most of the coin's wallet in that exchange was in maintenance without any notification about when they will get resumed maybe they going for exit scam. :-\

I can't deposit anything into their wallet,did you?


Title: Re: Cryptopia turning into a scam?

I didn't try to deposit anything since. My balance was showing my missing coins the next day I posted my previous message. I waited two months for a wallet in maintenance. They fixed it but in fact, I think we couldn't credit our balance, at least the site would have displayed our balance at zero. I will refrain to use cryptopia as I used before.

edit: I tried and it worked.
If you're looking for your log in code, cryptopia emails are now labeled as spam

Latest news - Cryptopia exchange $2.5 million loss: Etherdelta hacker strikes again

https://www.crypto-economy.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/cryptopia-hack.jpg

New year, new hack. We’re just fifteen days into 2019 and already a crypto exchange has been hacked. New Zealand exchange Cryptopia lost significant funds in a security breach on January 13 (UTC), according to a statement. By examining blockchain records (Cryptopia didn’t disclose how much was stolen), it appears that 20,000 ETH ($2.5 million) has been stolen by none other than the hacker or hackers behind the 2017 Etherdelta attack. (We’ve reached out to Cryptopia for comment, but the company has not responded to our questions at the time we went to press.)

Since the hack, Cryptopia underwent unexpected maintenance–and has yet to resume normal service. The exchange has notified government exchanges including the New Zealand police and the High Tech Crimes Unit. In response, some community members have accused the exchange of running an exit scam. However, there is no evidence this was the case.

In fact, when examining blockchain records, it may have been the same hacker that stole tens of thousands of dollars worth of ETH back in 2017 by lifting private keys from decentralized exchange Etherdelta. Some ETH from the source of funds used for the Etherdelta attack was sent to the same address as a likely recipient of the Cryptopia hack. And it’s a rather suspicious address indeed...

Decentralized exchange = no admins / no 3rd party.
The funds are in your pocket, they only leave your pocket to go in the pocket of a seller/buyer at the time of the exchange through a smart contract.

No one can do anything to block decentralized exchanges.
And this is the main reason they are developed, so no government, no bank can shut them down.

Hard to say - the New Zealand Police investigation is taking its course and they haven't posted any updates on their website (https://www.police.govt.nz/news/search-results/cryptopia) for a while now.
