It would be nice to have the forum give small amounts of bitcoin back to users in the form of incentives as a goodwill gesture

So for 10 days you waited to get money that you sent via their service?

I am so happy you got your money back but am shocked and disappointed at the level of service ShapeShift provided to you and to countless others

How many hours or days did they take to sort out your issue?

Good to hear from you Colton  : )

Point taken about the different approaches you took towards modifying your business model. Am happy you are getting people signing up on a regular basis and more importantly there are investors.

Wishing you success.

Yes it is alive. The wallet does sync and nodes are up to date.

Agree with you about wills and last testaments. I am sure people nowadays are doing so however, if a wallet is secured with a password then it does not fill me with confidence if I have to write it down in a will in the presence of my lawyer.

So many bitcoin billionaires yet once upon a time in the early days a miner was selling 10,000 bitcoins for $50 but it remained unsold because nobody including fellow miners bought them.

Some very interesting stats here including several billionaires, plenty of multi-millionaires and some surprises such as several wallets which had a single transaction of thousands of bitcoins in 2011 but those wallets were never really used again some in 2016/17 and some dating back to 2011.

The largest amount is held in a Bitfinex Cold Storage Wallet containing 145,046 BTC ($1,991,736,809 USD)

#2 on the list: Wallet Address 16rCmCmbuWDhPjWTrpQGaU3EPdZF7MTdUk containing 119,203 BTC ($1,636,867,677 USD)

I agree, full credit for their intentions and attempts in trying to get started but they cannot go down the ICO route simply because of a recent modification to US regulations which states all US citizens/residents and passport holders are not allowed to invest in non SEC accredited investments (including ICOs).

Any US based organisation that starts an ICO without gaining accreditation through the SEC will be raided by the police and the team arrested for breaking the law. Any US citizens/residents and passport holders wanting to participate in ICOs have to check with the SEC to see if it is legal other they too would be breaking the law.

Yes slow support is totally unacceptable. ShapeShift does turn over hundreds of millions of dollars worth of crypto per annum so surely they can afford to provide a better standard of customer services. Even though they make a small percentage of profit per transaction, it adds up to be plenty.

This must be the third or the fourth time the Bitmora team have tried to launch their project. As with the previous attempts they had threads stating their intent but could not get their idea off the ground.

On one of the attempts they showed they had a $15k investment out of a $60k target but there was little or no interest in it, certainly investors were not lining up.

There is no reason to be so sure this attempt to get their idea off the ground will succeed because of previous failures but I give credit to them for trying again and again. The investment involved for them to meet their propositions are huge. Keeping all other things related to the actual trading matters aside, they intend to have telephone support staff which will probably be based in the US (not elsewhere to save funds) so will be costly.

The key reason for Bitmora launch failures in the past was lack of investment. Had the team believed in their idea so much surely they could have arranged the $60k they needed when they first tried to launch but two main players in the project seemed to believe in the project but did not seem to invest their own funds. The reason I declined to invest in Bitmora many months ago was because it seemed the two founders wanted to create and direct the project but had little or no funds themselves.

I hope they succeed, it would be nice to see a new exchange with new formats to choose from.

With the price of Bitcoin soaring, hackers are trying harder to steal coins.

Did you ever get your money back?

Is the setescrow website active? It seems live but there is no activity on any forums about it.

I am all sync'd

Last night I dug out my old laptop with my Kittehcoin wallet along with so many others dating back to 2013/2014. Interesting to see I had so many coins back then.

Anyway, the wallet is taking so long to sync. I started last night and it has been running almost constantly since then. Down to 27 weeks now but is taking so long.

Me too, they have not exactly revolutionised the way we use crypto.

No offence intended but Bitcoin is a totally different ball game than Rupaya.

You have done very well with the Rupaya project, congratulations on your hard work. I hope it goes from strength to strength.

Yes there was a long delay with them obtaining VISA accreditation but heading to 5 months past the date they calimed they would send them, that is not good.

It seems that small transactions are ok but larger ones get stuck frequently leaving the sender/receiver in limbo. It seems to take too long for ShapeShift to resolve tickets.

Why the need for tickets? Well they are opened because transactions were not completed.

They were supposed to be shipped out in August but have been delayed. I have low confidence in the project team.

I agree but there is no guarantee the website and project is bonafide if there are "The Team" and "About Us" pages. It does give more investor confidence though.
