Bitcoin Forum

I haven't join that web for month, today I wanted to check how it's doing coz I had in there about 70 Cloak. But I can't get in, page is empty and only showing "Copyright © 2014 MintPal Limited. All Rights Reserved. Registered UK Company: #09009856."

moolah bought it a while ago and is preparing for a relaunch, which is supposed to happen the coming week

while trying to implement Mintpal V2 they were hit with a large DDoS attack.
That was happening 23 hours ago.   

So all coins will disappear? Say I had there some cloak amount, so whey will be gone?

Are there 2 different Mintpal exchanges?

Mintpal was supposed to be huge reliable exchange.

it would be suicide to not give people their coins, so all coins should be withdrawable at some point. then again you never know what will happen in cryptoland.

not sure what coins will be tradeable on mintpal v2. i assume they will take the chance and remove some low/no volume coins.

Mintpal was purchased by Moolah.

Mintpal V2 is due to be opened shortly. I think it was already supposed to have opened but they ran into a delay.

This blog says Mintpal V1 will remain open during the migration to Mintpal V2 over the next few weeks.

what really sucks is the information policy of MP.

Nor official statement of the actual situation, neither of planned solutions. Nothing!

I did a ticket because I a had a stucking withdrawal, no reaction, not even a confirmation of the ticket.
I looked at #mintpal, trying to get any answers - nothing.

Very annoying and for sure the best way to loose customers (at least their confidence).

Their twitter announcement of the DDoS attack is over a day old. They have not even bothered to post any updates since.

Moolah is a company run by shady if not scammer administration... I won't be using Mintpal ever again after it was sold. I can only suggest to stay away

Well, time will come for my next post at my thread  "quality comparison of the exchanges' support" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=743446.0

After I have cooled down...

It seems that Moolah is having issues with the V2 release. It's been delayed a few times now.

Sorry, but that is no excuse for this lack of information.

hmmm this is annoying. I had a lot of coins on there. How long will this be off line?

It is not offline. I withdraw just a few minutes ago my xbc (incoming at Polo) and my xmr (not yet incoming, but hopefully will).
In worst case I will loose my btc, which I tried to withdraw just when mp went under maintenance (as usual without any announcement) These stuck as pending and Iam unable to confirm or cancel. No reaction from support.

But again: obviously it is actually possible to withdraw. I recommend to, because of the lack of information.

No one should use Mintpal. The owner "Alex Green" is a very shady person, most likely a scammer as well.

I've used MP for trading a lot of Doge and DRK a couple months ago. I've always liked their exchange, it's relatively fast and I had bad experiences with Cryptsy.

If not MP, which exchange(s) do you propose we should try out?

For altcoins I am very satisfied with Poloniex and Bter.

I like Bter and bittrex. Bter doesn't add new coins often like bittrex but is a great exchange.

I think that after last hacking (synccoin if I remember correctly) people move to other exchanges, mostly bittrex. As long I have been using them they were reliable but now I prefer other exchanges.

The downside to Bittrex is WAY too computer resource hoggish. Makes my laptop critically overheat every time I've logged in to the platform. Hopefully MP gets their s#!t together fast...

Mintpal is no longer top one exchange. Today everyone want to enter Bittrex.
Altcoin world is changing very fast. One day you are rich man, next one you are nothing.

That's what I'm really hating at MP:


Any public announcement on their Website before they do their "planned maintenance"?

Of course not. >:(

Not to mention the fact they're two weeks late with their "planned maintenance" and suck really bad at keeping their customers in the know...

They only announced it on Twitter, 24 hs before the site went under maintenance. I don't follow them on Twitter but I was on their site earlier today. Since I saw no announcements that the site would be offline soon, I deposited some BTC to buy some alts and now it's stuck. Clueless moronic admins.

Exactly. I miss the previous Mintpal owners, they had respect, decency. Whenever they planned to do something, there was always an announcement on the site beforehand....

These moolah.io guys now, ruined Mintpal.

I am so fucking sick of mintpal. I want one with less annoying scripts, faster wallet transfers with less verifications still have a good list of what's got continuous volume. It peaked during the massive blackcoin dump when it kept getting DDOS'd (probably accidentally a few times) and they got mad they lost money. Good support though, hopefully the switch is a move in the right direction

When will they be back up ?
