Nice to see BTC-e back up again, it does feel a little weird with the new logo and name but other than that it is still the old BTC-e alright.

Though does anyone know why the price of btc is so inflated and above market average on the new site? Usually BTC-e has lower than market prices but now they have higher than market prices. Pretty weird imo.

Anyways, feels bad to those people who cashed out their 55% early... Oh well, at least they got something.

Guys, what's your plan about the tokens?
Hold, trading, selloff to reduce losses.
If I am not mistaken, they cannot be traded above their rightful value ( 1btc=1btctoken ) or, something like, WEX will redeem tokes at max their rightful value 1:1

I'm thrilled to be able to log in and have access to my crypto assets, plus the debt tokens. It was quite a struggle for me to ignore the 55% offer in the first hours, but after became clear that we would lose our debt tokens if we accepted that offer, I decided to wait a longer while -- turns out to be a pretty good decision. I am sincerely hoping that the US government will leave this exchange alone from now on, because as it is right now, they clearly state not to offer their service to US citizens. I like the fact that despite their weird new exchange brand name, their platform remains the same in terms of GUI.

WEX. Rising.

Dear Btc-e users!

Let's refresh the list of main questions:

The launch date of the new platform has changed - 15.09.2017!

Is verification of btc-e users necessary on a new platform?
Users can conduct the following operations without verification - trading on all pairs, withdrawal and deposit of funds through codes of the new platform (btc-e code analogue) and also deposit and withdrawal of coins.

Why do I need a verification?
Verification is needed for those users, who need to withdraw or deposit fiat funds through wire transfer, sepa or other payment systems, where identity check is mandatory.

Can I withdraw my funds from the account at the day of the launch of the new platform?
Yes.
After the launch of the platform you will be able to find info about main ways of withdrawal on your account. We have widened the net of our partners and agents. If you want to become our partner or agent (in your city or country), then write a ticket to the partners section https://wex.kayako.com/.
Also new ways of fiat withdrawal and deposit will be available (RF, Ukraine, RB, Kazakhstan, Europe, Asia - any bank).

Can I withdraw my coins from the account at the day of the launch of the new platform?
Yes.

“ Please give us a specific answer about fiat. If I had all my funds in USD in my account, will I have the same funds + tokens on my new account, or coins + tokens?”

At the day of the launch of the new platform part of funds will be converted to tokens. There will be no conversion of fiat to coins. Recalculation will be made with a higher ratio than 55/45.

What will be the limits for fiat and coins withdrawal?
All data about limits will be available on 15.09.2017.


What accounts must be necessarily authorized?
Accounts that were blocked before 25.07.2017 (when you enter the website you see a message “Your account has been blocked. Please contact the support”).
Accounts for which an email change is necessary.
Accounts where 2fa must be removed.
Accounts where white IPs list must be deleted.

The U.S. agents seized funds from btc-e exchange. So if btc-e owners want to challenge the DoJ's decision in court, they need to reveal their identity first. How does that sound to you?

Good that they are repeating the 'higher than 55/45 ratio" for stayers. It also seems that they will have FIAT services as well from day 1. I'm optimistic that when the new exchange goes online and enough trading takes places, fees will make sure the tokens can be redeemed in the future.

Regarding the FBI: They probably won't have a legal base to interfere when they are no longer dealing with US citizens. And even if they do, you can see from the last indictment, that it takes at least 6 months to get the exchange down after the judge has made the call. And before a judge even approves such an indictment, that's probably a big process as well.

Dear BTC-e users!

Let's take a look at the main issues:

Start date of the new site has not changed - September 15, 2017!

Do I need verification for btc-e users on a new site?
Users will be able to conduct the following operations without verification - trading in all pairs, input and output of funds through the codes of the new site (analogue of btc-e code), and input and output in koin.

What is verification needed for?
Verification is needed for those users who need to enter or withdraw Fiat using wire transfer, sepa and other payment systems that require mandatory identity verification.

Can I withdraw my funds from the account on the day of launch of the new site?
Yes.
After launching the site in your account, you will be able to see the available output methods. We have expanded the network of partners and agents. If you want to become our agent or partner (in your city or country), then write a ticket in the section for partners https://wex.kayako.com/.
In addition, new ways of input and output of fiat will be available (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Europe, Asia - any bank).

Can I withdraw my koins from the account on the day the new site is launched?
Yes.

"Give a specific answer about the Fiat. If I had everything in the account in USD, the new account will have the same + tokens, or coins + tokens? "

On the day the site is launched, some of the funds will be transferred to tokens. There will be no converting of fiat into koin. Recalculation will be with a higher ratio than 55/45.

What are the limits on the output of coins and fiat?
Data on limits will be known on September 15, 2017.

For which accounts is verification mandatory?
Accounts that were blocked until July 25, 2017 (when you sign in, "Your account is blocked. Please contact support" appears).
Accounts for which you need to change your e-mail.
Accounts for which it is necessary to untie the 2fa.
Accounts for which you want to remove the IP whitelist.

Sincerely, BTC-e team

I also agree that these guys rock. They could have easily just ran away with all the 55% of the fund and nobody would know that. We will just assume that all went to the FBI and these btc/alt coins will be auction off to some random buyers by the government, while nothing is left for us. The famous example of mtgox had left us with a deep impression that as long as the exchange is down, the user would have lost everything. For that mtgox case, even though they later manage to find btc in old address wallet, to get the partial refund has been ongoing for years with the government involved in it.

Dear BTC-e users!

Today we start the ticket system at - https://wex.kayako.com/

The portal is available in 2 languages: Russian and English.

Questions that can be solved through the ticket system on old accounts before September 15, 2017:

1. Questions on the return of 55% of funds until 15.09.2017
2. Getting private keys to withdraw funds from the pools
3. Questions on credited coins from 25.07.17 to 1.08.17 (inclusive)

Questions that can be solved only after passing verification at a new site:
1. Unbinding 2f if you do not have access to it.
2. Changing mail
3. Unlocking the account (If it was blocked before July 25, 2017)
4. Search for inputs and outputs by wire transfer (SEPA, SWIFT, etc)

PAMM Information
- all users are credited with a refund of PAMM accounts

Sincerely, BTC-e team

No, I don't know who they are

But this is sort of public knowledge that the Btc-e owners are Russians. It is obvious for anyone speaking the Russian language fluently enough and reading their tweets as well as posts here to understand that Russian is their mother tongue and Russia (maybe, Ukraine) is their home country. They don't (didn't) necessarily live in Russia, of course, but now they seem to have to (pretty much like Snowden, lol)

If you want to know where BTC-e.nz is located. It's here in Switzerlan:

http://geoiplookup.net/ip/46.28.204.197

BTC-e is banned in Russia, like most Bitcoin exchanges. Russians cannot access the .com domain, which is why they used the .nz domain. In fact, BTC-e was originally hosted on a .ru domain; they changed to .com (and supposedly moved operations to Bulgaria) when the Russian government targeted them.

Insiders like Penek and several people over the years who have suggested they know the owners' identities from the launching days of the site have suggested they are Russian. (This was in the context of whether Vinnik was an owner and whether the owners ever would have set foot in Greece -- the answer to both questions is no).

I entirely agree with you

Even if they had placed the servers somewhere in Russia, they would have been quickly seized by the Russian FSB itself rather than the FBI. Btc-e owners seem to be from Russia, and now they have to stay in Russia pretty much like Snowden has. If they travel abroad somewhere, they will be caught just like Vinnik was, then extradited to the US soon thereafter, and serve a solid term in an American prison. I don't really know whether it is good or bad that the owners are now sort of "travel banned"
