Title: Re: BITMIT IS CLOSING Post by: iLoveXojo on November 09, 2013, 01:05:00 AM Seriously? The only major Bitcoin-only marketplace is closing?
That seriously sucks. Looks like someone will have to come up with a replacement. Title: Re: BITMIT IS CLOSING Post by: OneMoreHuman on November 09, 2013, 01:16:51 AM Okay seriously, why are they trying to close?
Maybe they have no intention of closing. They just want to cash in with whoever wants to take over. Title: Re: BITMIT IS CLOSING Post by: superdork on November 09, 2013, 01:21:23 AM I saw that. >:(
I am checking out coingig.com which looks pretty nice at least. Anyone have any experiences there? Title: Re: BITMIT IS CLOSING Post by: Xendrios on November 09, 2013, 01:23:57 AM Seriously? The only major Bitcoin-only marketplace is closing? That seriously sucks. Looks like someone will have to come up with a replacement. I've been working on a similar service. www.bitcoin247sales.com (http://www.bitcoin247sales.com) Launched last week. Expanding the website will be my one and only project for the following months. So any feedback, suggestions or requests are more than welcome. more details can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=316750.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=316750.0) and ofcourse at the website itself.

These days it sucks being a Bitcoin market place.Title: Re: BITMIT IS CLOSING Post by: kokojie on November 09, 2013, 01:47:07 AM I'm not sure why can't they simply sell the site? why announce a shutdown, and then says "if you are interested in buying the site contact us"? this has already destroyed much value in the site.

Probably because that's what was stated in the national security letter.Title: Re: BITMIT IS CLOSING Post by: MakeBelieve on November 09, 2013, 02:57:26 AM Right before Christmas too. Where am I suppose to get my gifts now?
Title: Re: BITMIT IS CLOSING Post by: 52edcs10ma on November 09, 2013, 07:46:41 AM I do not understand this step of Bitmit. For me this is completely nonsense. If they want to sell than they should keep the Bitmit working so they could sell it for better money.
They changed the servers recently. They made many software improvements a few days ago. Why are they going to lose everything? Title: Re: BITMIT IS CLOSING Post by: b!z on November 09, 2013, 08:25:16 AM I also got that email. Does anybody know why they are closing?
Title: Re: BITMIT IS CLOSING Post by: Dalkore on November 09, 2013, 06:06:56 PM I would like to take over Bitmit and continue its operation. I have an engineering team and background in e-commerce and web development. Finding a good fit will be the key to keep Bitmit growing.

Re: Bitmit - Bitcoin shopping mall - Bitcoin market place - Bitcoin auction house https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41592.1460;topicseen Title: Re: BITMIT IS CLOSING Post by: jermwerty on November 10, 2013, 08:43:41 PM I haven't been able to withdraw because no emails are coming through. Have you tried to withdraw yet? SAME PROBLEM. I have a wallet balance but I am unable to get it out of BITMIT because they never send the confirmation email! WTF! Isn't there a member here that runs bitmit? EDIT: Just tried again for the 3rd time in 3 days, AND IT WORKED! Got the email. My vote: Get your coins out NOW while the site still (mostly) works!

Quote Hallo Brian, Bitmit is shutting down its doors in 2-3 weeks. Please complete your orders and withdraw your funds ASAP! Viele Grüße, dein Bitmit Team bitmit.net Is bitmit closing now going to become an annual event? It was going to close last year about the same time too. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=119334.0 I guess soon we will find out that is it up for auction, the auction has been cancelled, we have figured a solution, it isn't really closing, it is business as usual, what are you complaining about? I look forward to the bitmit closing scare campaigns in October/November 2014! Or could it be that it really is closing down this time? I don't know what to believe any more, they lost all credibility last year. |
