What a shitty move, BTC-E. Way to scam your customers. They announced that FTC would be delisted and then as soon as it dipped to less than half it's value they said "Oops! Our mistake!"

I lost a lot of money because of this scam.  :-[ How can anyone trust this exchange now?  ???

This was extremely shady.

.

Really?

.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

So do you go around giving high fives to kids to kick puppies in the face in real life too? Do you like to put on a little costume and pretend to be a super villain? In other words, do you like to live life as a major giant Mcdouche?

Wow shows the true professionalism of BTC-e admins....... happy days for them...not so happy for everybody that panic sold and made losses. Wonder what scam listing will be replacing TRC

What a disgraceful episode.

I recently withdrew my BTC from there and they bundled it into a tx with four other customer addresses. WTF.

BTC-e has grown a lot and started to look good; Today was a very bloody stain.

Uh, that is called "sendmany". Pretty normal.

Agreed!

Come on, you guys know that BTC-E is not BitStamp. This wasn't the first shady move they pulled off.

You mean like how Litecoin isn't going to GOX? Exchanges have many other ways to make money then just trading fees. They are clever. Maybe not nice, but clever. It goes to show just how speculative FTC is. If you sold, even low, you are better to be out of it in the long run.

Ouch, some people last 75% in a few minutes.  One graph I saw had a negative number showing on the Y axis it went down so far!

Anybody manage to get the cheap deal for FTC?

BTC-e?

So I assume you are out of LTCs too? 'Its going to Gox' - rises  to 0.04 BTC; 'hang on, its not' - falls to 0.013; 'Gox maintenance' - rises to 0.018; 'oh, it was just maintenance' - falls below 0.01.

Every coin, including BTC ('SR closing down! Sell! Oh wait, this may actually be good news') is subject to speculation. What Btc-e did was a very low an open scam.

+1

Considering that they're making over $50,000 per day just from trading fees alone, I'm shocked that they'd pull some bullshit like this.

People can trade their FTC at mcxNOW.com (http://mcxNOW.com)

Good job, you managed to find the one exchange out there that's shadier than BTC-e!

Uh, that is called "sendmany". Pretty normal.

Yeah no shit. Do you think it's normal for an exchange to directly expose customer addresses and withdrawal amounts to other customers? Maybe it is normal. Do you think it's remotely acceptable?

Gee I'd like to hear your list of reputable exchanges.

We're in a bit of trouble here eh.

Crypto-Trade is a good alternative and more trustworthy, IMO.

and I think this yoyo will happen again
the news is till there on site

once those last btc have gone in ftc buy orders and volume drops again, it could be reinitiated
the timeline was a month away

I think if you make a decision, either way you stick to it

don't be surprises if the decision skips back and forth again imo

I have wondered for some time with the price of btc going up how safe it is to leave any amount on an exchange. the target thatis getting painted on btc-e just gets bigger to be hacked one way or another.

I have been most impressed with BTC-e technical stability, however this last event shows even if  a genuine mistake   there must be some serious procedural issues going on.

If you bought the fees it is your fault in overestimating the market. On the other hand if you didn't I don't know what is shady about this exchange...

I don't know, maybe the fact that the owner RealSolid has been scamming the community for the better part of 2 years now under various aliases.

It's a bit too easy to put the blame on RealSolid each time someone is scammed, don't you think.

"oh mtrlt scammed me of 1 BTC ! He must be RealSolid!"

If we were to listen to you, RS would be mtrlt, sunnyking, satoshi, DPR , snowden, etc...
So bring some proof next time


The only real "bad"  thing RS did is accepting 2000$ in donation to finish Microcash. Fact is he only finished the Beta , and the final product is still in stand-by. Personally i don't see that at a scam, more as a long delay.
He's been working on mcxNOW for more than 6 month now and it's a great sucess, he's millionnaire and he's redistributing a lot of wealth to user with mcxFEE and interest on deposit.

mods have been dropping hints for weeks or more that ftc would be delisted. not surprised it went down like this. it will likely get delisted in the near future. bagholders complaining right now should have seen this coming imo....

Nice, BTC-E gives volume to mcxNOW, peoples can trade LTC and XPM at mcxNOW as well  :)

For all I care they could drop all coins except BTC, NMC and LTC.

Moral of the story:
FTC is crap.

FTC is crap but that ain't the moral of the story.  The moral of the story is that practically all of the exchanges that are used to price bitcoin are shady as fuck pump & dump warehouses.

watch out.

lol , dude, quite likely, the guy has a "camsluts" link in his signature

I guess it depends on whether you consider a database of exchange user withdrawal addresses meaningful information or not.

Going back to the exchange . . . yeah ok we're talking about the guys that send out a plaintext SMTP saying "hey dude you requested coinz withdrawn to address" whenever you w/d, I had to set up a new email account because of them. It's pretty obvious they're taking 0.001 from the w/d then bundling it into a pay to many with 0.0005 relayfee yay profit.

I agree this manipulation was.... No comment  ??? Delist it to it reach half price and say, finally we keep now lol...

Novacoin was also a good example also...being listed 2 days after launched on btc-e, and btc-e being bribed...

FTC can still be traded also on crypto-trade.com

Picked up some really cheap FTC lol
