Well, I guess this is the end of Mintpal.
It used to care about value.
Now it is adding some shit coins insted of those that bring some actual innovation (like VOOT, but not only VOOT).
What do you think? Which exchange will emerge as a new leader now that Mintpal is over?

It's usually a bad sign what happened with Mintpal this week. I hope the won't just disappear with people's money at some point like some other exchanges did after their downfall started.

Them not adding REAL coins with REAL innovation is a joke. Very disappointing.

I guess this is the end of Mintpal. I am willing to bet on this if someone is willing to escrow.

looking at the fact that they are hiring it means that the good people left from mintpal, who ever is running the show most be on crack.

Bittrex has larger volume today :D

Bittrex: Daily Volume: 47069 trades valued at 1479.23 BTC
Mintpal: BTC Volume 1442.348 BTC   LTC Volume 577.789 LTC(only about 7 btc)     Number of Trades 13351

Bittrex already took first place among the exchanges from Mintpal?
Nice!

just go on twitter and hash tag #isis and look at that shit that could be looked at promoting terrorism = mintpal shutdown

wow they added that shit coin isis? isis is one of the most radical groups that has been brutaly killing people in the last weeks. Also wtf is isis coin, what does it bring, which community, which infrastructure? mintpal is shit

Having a lot of shit coin doesn't mean it is shit, it just have a lot of alternative.

Bitters sucks ass.

No more needs to be said.

im getting my btc out of mintpal just in case, mintpal can now be associated to isis if they get shutdown for god knows what it would be an other mt gox .

I don't think Mintpal is shutting down , it has been working great . So stop the FUD.

mintpal going downhill fast, what a bunch of clowns adding a coin called ISIS... furthermore the sad thing is some coins really have things going for them and they add the next scamcoin...took most of my btc out of greedpal and went to bittrex.

Good job mintpal , within  5 months you managed to turn into a bunch of assholes worse or equal to cryptsy...you should be ashamed of yourselves...may this kind of stuff cost you a lot of fee's you will not be getting..you  deserve it greedpal...

It's not even the fact Mint added a new coin that bothers me, it is the fact ISIS is most likely another quick 3-day POW, low coin count gimmicky scam coin from Carsen Klock.

I already left mintpal and I am trading for about 2 months on bittrex.

Mintpal is one of the best exchange,no need to spread fud.

Mintpal is a good place to do some trading, they will delete those non-active coins once in a while so it should be good :)

It was few weeks ago, but it no longer is. Look at the recent addition. Mintpal used to equal prestige, but it no longer is. Any shitcoin can be there now. And few weeks ago being added to Mintpal meant something. It was proof of quality. And now? Instead of coins like VOOT and few others they are adding shitcoins.

To me the sign Mintpal is dying or no longer relevant is when they added UROcoin and the market shrugged it off and continued volume trading on Bittrex.

Also it didn't help that MP has now earned the reputation that when a coin gets added to Mintpal, it will 90% of the time end in a dump. If you're the average person, why would you want to keep trading on a platform you know you will lose money on?

Mintpal is still very much alive and well. It's probably the best exchange out there.

In my view, probably mintpal has its own way of judging in terms of choosing which one will Altcoin added to their exchanger without looking at the background of the coin where it originated.
They are quite selective in choosing which coins could be in they exchanger, outside the voting list of course (Mintpal added 2 Altcoin per week, 1 coin which of course we can see from the highest voted and one other decisive by Mintpal)
Not that I am siding with ISIS, but in my opinion maybe Mintpal know, that with they ​​exchanger to add ISIS will be pros and cons, and mintpal want to take advantage of it.  ;)

It's just my Opinion.

Last week they were mad at Poloniex.

Unhappy at Mintpal? Vircurex is looking for business.

while i dont agree with some things bittrex do either

bittrex > mintpal  

It does look and feel like fud..  It just comes of like people are mad the coin they wanted added wasn't so they are pissed.  Maybe it was a bad move by Mintpal but not sure why it means their end.  Just saying what my gut is telling me from go, maybe there is more to the story then I realize.

Both mintpal and bittrex have their problems, but i like mintpal better. Bittrex layout is just strange. Mintpal seemed to be better in the past and what they did today was a mistake.
Mintpal need to do what they been doing, just be more aware and work harder to fix their issues.

You guys do realize Bittrex add shitcoins all the time, moreso than MintPal. The only volume they get is from those shitcoins.

@ OP

Sounds like you got your knickers in a twist cause they wont list your stupid voot coin.

Mintpal definitely better and easier to use, than most exchanges, and as for Bittrex thats is the shit fest. it adds most shit coins just during the hype phaze then delists them after everyones dumped, leaving the bag holders with no where to trade.

That used to be true. But no longer is.
Now Mintpal is adding shit coins that immediately fail just after being added.

What about truly innovative coins? Mintpal used to add CLOAK, RZR, SUPER, CINNI? And now what? URO and ISIS? LOL!

+1000 !

I tend to watch their 'vote' page as listing of coins to avoid like the plague for that very reason.

I could be wrong but couldn't that just be from whales using Mintpal and dumping the coins they bought at a low price.  Buying on the rumor selling on the news could possibly explain the frequent dump of new coins.  I know I've held my share of bags, so I can relate to the frustration.

Adding URO I can sort of understand.  I'm almost definitely sure it is a scam.  However yesterday I was completely sure it was a scam.  They're either really selling UREA or they're running the most sophisticated altcoin scam yet complete with actual business addresses, real people, etc.  A good scam would have that stuff but Mintpal is thinking: a) if this is real, it is the new Bitcoin and we'll own it b) the scammers are going to pump URO up to $300.00 dollars before fading and we'll get all of those juicy transaction fees up until the end. 

About ISIS, that just doesn't make sense.  I read their ANN when it came out:  typical scammy pump and dump meme coin (Egyptian Goddess, not the terrorists) that will get up on top of CMC for a day and then vanish never to be seen again.  Unless ISIS has something huge to release they let Mintpal on the choice makes no sense in anyway.  I'm into Voot but wouldn't have been butt hurt if Roxcoin, for example made it, or any of a bunch of other semi-non-scammy coins with a hint of innovation.

I was thinking more along the lines of the horrific dumps after 'not-so-new' coins get added there after being on polo for a while.

URO just makes me think of the well-known British English phrase: taking the piss

Ahh ok, I misunderstood.  Truth be told I don't even use Mintpal much at the moment so regarding the dumps I'll just take your word for it.

i guess they will be replaced slowly by, you should take a look at Credits CRD https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=634403.0 http://vimeo.com/100148381

yes, it is also a concern and some people including me.
quite visible difference, when some altcoin doesn't exist in mintpal they have hefty price high enough. it's just that, so right when that altcoin added at mintpal direct costs drop dramatically.
well it's hard to say, Mintpal seems to be like an Pump 'n Dump exchanger.  ;D

like craptsy was hahaha..

I'm not following here...what is going on? What happened at Mintpal that is going to cause it to end?

From reading the thread the only information I can get is that they added a couple of new coins. I don't get it.

I must admit i was very surprised and disappointed that mint-pal  added the mostly Scam coin ISIS, it makes no sense at all.   

mint pal  should see themselves as the premier exchange and only add the best new promising coins which will hopefully be save investments for their clients. 

Bittrex is a very different  model,  Bittrex add all the latest released coin's  and basically the risk is  down to you whether their just scams  or not.

i will be moving my funds to other exchanges

Basically a lot of people crying that an exchange didn't add the coin that they are holding

Was funny to see people laughing at the URO add, its only up 300% today and high volume...
