UPDATE: Myself and two others with KYC'd accounts are still unable to login on Campbx.com. PM has been sent to Keyur and support ticket is now opened since the security certificate is fixed.
I would like to hear from others that are either locked out of their accounts or are indeed able to login.

I am very bullish on bitcoin as both a currency/property especially in light of the auction. US gov't says BTC is property and auctions it as such. Smart money bids and buys property. It solidifies BTC as something of value.
I am very bearish on third party service providers in the BTC space. There are horror stories happening daily, major collapses in the past, and more to come in the future. This will pose a serious barrier to overall adoption in the consumer realm. If I just heard about bitcoin today, I would be very leery of what method I would go about getting myself some. The pragmatist in me would lose interest rather quickly.
Fortunately I'm already heavily vested in BTC and have the means to facilitate solutions rather than propagate problems. Overall, I am very optimistic about the future of bitcoin. We just need some innovation to facilitate adoption that isn't backed by greed or violence. Chins up buttercups.

Sorry for the off topic question, but is using Tor guarantees you taht your ip is hidden like a vpn service or something? Would love to give it a try if so  Your IP is hidden when using Tor properly. The IP of the exit node is revealed to the site. Get the Tails OS. It's lightweight and easy to use. There is a windows tor browser bundle, but it is not nearly as idiot proof as Tails. https://tails.boum.org/ |

We still need to find a way to move away from centralised exchanges. This sort of thing will continue to happen and will only worsen in time. If the value of a bitcoin soars upwards, the incentive for people to break into exchanges will only be more tempting. Exchanges weren't part of the design for all this. We're doing it wrong. And the resulting negative headlines will only hamper adoption.
Centralised exchanges are simultaneously one of the biggest weaknesses in our new digital economy and yet somehow also the biggest accelerators. The flame to which all the moths are drawn. It's almost paradoxical. We need to do better.
A few friends and I are tackling this in a c-rudimentary way. There is so much cynicism revolving around exchanges and services that store bitcoin and handle fiat. We can do better. We are going to roll out something we think will work that will allow people to exchange anything for bitcoin. The real barrier for people is converting fiat to BTC and visa versa. There are only two irreversible ways that I know to send fiat: Cash/Money Order in the mail (Campbx uses money order for fiat withdrawal and deposit), and Western Union / MoneyGram type services. WU and MG defeat the purpose of having BTC due to the expense and trouble involved performing the transaction. Most entry level adopters do not want to hold several thousand dollars in BTC. As a newb, I'd be hesitant to send cash to an unknown person without escrow. A quick glance at reddit and this forum shows most newbs want to buy $25 - $200 worth of BTC with something they are familiar (moneypak, WU, etc). Most experienced users will only accept cash in the mail or WU/MG for the irreversible BTC. What features does a decentralized exchange have in your dreams? Peer to peer functionality is a no-brainer for those of us fed up with the current model. |

FYI, I was able to withdraw 1.5 BTC successfully yesterday morning without issue.
Good to hear. I was unable to login last night. Keyur advised another complainant to wait until 5pm EST today before sending a PM via bitcointalk.org. I will be doing this too if I am unable to login later today. Congrats on moving your coin. |

Hmm. I've used CampBX for some time, though I've not been active there for a quarter or two. Never had an issue there. I have some piddling assets thereupon. I may wait it out, hoping for more concrete info from the proprietors.
Like I said, Campbx was the only exchange I have ever recommended to family and friends. I'll be attempting to login at 5pm EST per Keyur's advice to another member. I'm done making noise until then. |

There are no safe exchanges, yet.

Their facebook was updated 2 hours ago saying they were seeing a DDoS as of 11:30AM
I'm aware. The site was down all weekend, and that facebook/twitter was silent until threads started popping up on the boards. The charts also show some stupid buying yesterday - when no one else could access the site except via the Cloudfare mirror. Remember remember the gox of November, and December, and January, and...and...and... Im not advocating one way or the other, just making sure this was seen. Hopefully they put out a real statement soon. No worries mate. Campbx is so small. It is mainly amateurs, newbs, microbots, and a few market makers. I liked it for convenience and being US based - and never having a single issue to date. Three (confirmed) locked out customers with KYC (over $1000 USD accounts) is a significant number on Campbx. It's rare to see a multi-coin buy on this exchange. I liked it. It was cozy and free of both sharks and whales. I also liked it because it is such a small target for hackers. None of the issues, other than the occasional D-Dos'ing, that affected other exchanges ever effected campbx in my experience. Should this get worked out, I will retract every negative thing I have said about campbx. The only negative things I have typed were typed today. I still want to hear from others that are affected. |

In light of this, I received an email from CampBX(somehow), but it was in my SPAM folder in my Gmail account. Coincidence? Phishing?
Check the header and get back with us please. An admin from campbx (Keyur https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=15102) responded to another member's post in the Service Discussion area of bitcointalk. It was suggested that he wait until 5pm tomorrow to see if his account was one of the accounts that were "marked". Whatever the hell marked means... |

I see my account has been closed and i have no idea why they did that since my behavior has always been good with them in the past months. I had a liquidity provider bot running on their exchange and more then 25K $ deposited. I just found out other people had serious issues with them in the past so this looks very fishy and i seriously think they're running a scheme over there.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU TO NOT DEPOSIT FUNDS ON CAMPBX UNTIL THEY GIVE US SOME EXPLANATIONS.
I contacted their support and will update as soon as they answer me.
LeChatNoir, Don't panic - We are reviewing a few accounts and your account may have been one of the marked ones. PM me if you are not able to log in by 5 PM EST tomorrow. Thank you, Keyur I am going to do the same. |

What do we do now?
Fuck man, I don't know. The security certificate for the "submit ticket" is not valid anymore. I had 2.63xxxxxx BTC in Campbx. These are the coins that I don't have the private keys to, so I guess I never owned them - as the old bitcoin adage goes. I'm pissed. As best I can tell, they just came back online today. I'm going to give it a few hours and try again. Do you have a direct email for Campbx? I'll be papering their facebook and twitter until I get a resolution. You sound like you had a decent chunk of fiat on the site. We need to get a list of people that lost something and take action as soon as possible. Did I mention that I'm pissed? I actually recommended this exchange to friends and family and put my solid reputation on the line. My father actually went with coinbase after doing his due diligence. I just don't think that traditional banking and bitcoin should be married to one another. I liked the money order deposit and fiat withdrawal. It always worked well. Withdrawing BTC was always seamless. I won't be holding my breath. When this shit happens, it never ends well for the consumer. What I'm going to do: open a bottle of vodka and smoke something nice. Let's keep this thread up. I started one on the main page. You should post something there to keep it up so others are warned. You kinda have to know bitcointalk.org to know that this ( Marketplace > Service Discussion) is the appropriate forum for this discussion. Good luck and keep in touch. I'm spamming on their facebook page. I'm european and i don't know how it works there in the USA but i'm willing to give away some BTC as reward to anyone who sue them in court if they don't unlock my funds. I'm fucking tired of these good at nothing cryptoscammers who always get away with it! I'll preface this by saying that I am holding out hope. I do (did) not have any fiat on campbx - only BTC that I bought several weeks ago. BTC is property in the US. My property on campbx was worth about $2,000 USD. Campbx is not an overly active exchange. You sound to me like you are one of the few that had quite a bit to lose on there. I will definitely pursue this further if it becomes necessary. I'm ready for a vacation anyhow and Atlanta is on the way to Florida for most of the US (I hate flying). I'll just stop in later this week and ask "what the fuck?" If that doesn't work; I used to work closely with several attorneys in the ATL area and am owed a few favors. We need to find more locked out users. I know of you and one other for sure. I still haven't heard back from a friend that has an account. I'm looking for users with zero account balances that can logon. Zero risk for them. It seems funny that everyone I know that can't login has something in their account. |

I'd had issues with CampBx for like 6 months. They are garbage. Tried to withdraw and they wouldn't communicate with me and I know numerous others with the same issues. If you had paid any attention to the hundreds of complaints you would've known to pull your BTC and fiat out.
I understand your admonishment. I usually do buy and pull no matter which exchange I use. I have never had a problem with campbx until the most recent supposed D-Dos attack. I knew better. I know better. You are preaching to a choir member that got off pitch. If you aren't the sole holder of your private keys, then you don't have any BTC. No go pour salt on someone else's wounds if that's what lights your fancy. |

CampBx may have been hacked. Same attack was concluded on bitcurex in march I think.  Bitcoin was trading around 2000 and then suddenly spiked to 5000 and you could see BIG trades happening. All I know it was some russian hackers I'm beginning to think that was practice for something bigger - not that bx is big. If you think about it, fiat exists on exchanges only in a database (SQL usually). Most exchanges secure their wallets pretty well as best I can tell. Fiat, on the other hand, moves only in the database (not on the blockchain). Should a hacker be successful, moving fiat would be easier than moving bitcoin. The hacker then buys up the board with stolen fiat without regard for the price. It is stolen money afterall. I'm hoping my coin is safe. I don't usually carry a fiat balance for more than a few minutes and haven't on campbx for a month or so. |

.... "Create Ticket" results in a bad certificate with the following error: The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.kayako.com , kayako.com (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain) ( https://support.campbx.com/Tickets/Submit) .... I think this link " https://support.campbx.com/Tickets/Submit" calls for the "outsourced" support tickets at kayako.com. The SSL config needs to be fixed, but that error (alone) is not evidence of a serious hack. Thank you for clarifying. That eases my mind a little bit. I've never had to open a ticket with campbx. It has been smooth sailing to this point. The whole scenario seems like something we've all seen before...a few times now. Still, there are no less than three KYC'd users with BTC/fiat balances totalling over $35,000 USD equivalent that are unable to login after the site relaunched/got back up. Do you think this could be due to SQL dataloss, failure for subdomains to propagate, or something else. Seems fishy. |

I think they got hacked too but i don't get why they started to lock random customers account without providing a good explanation.
I'm fine with being locked out for my own protection. I still have one login attempt remaining before the site is supposed to lock me out. In fact, I'd rather ALL KYC'd (high value accounts) be locked and the site taken down until this is sorted. I've seen this sort of thing before with sites being hijacked. It is not like a normal phishing attempt. I took the risk and entered my credentials. I risked some BTC by doing this I guess. I hope no one takes a big hit. I officially hate all exchanges. It is impossible to ever feel confident about any BTC or fiat that they hold for any amount of time. Against my better judgement I left my last purchase on campbx (I usually buy and move it cold immediately). Live and learn. I'm not giving up hope - it's early, they are US based, it was a US holiday weekend, they have been unaffected by past issues that were unique to individual exchanges. I'm still getting drunk and high, kicking my dog, and beating my wife with the expectation of total loss. |

I attempted loading the page mulitple times over the holiday weekend to no avail. The activity shown in the chart is a little...um...goxxish considering no one I know was able to login either. We start making a little noise, and we get a twitter and facebook update announcing another fix a few minutes later. The "little eye thingy" is back up on the page (the thing you click to see if you typed the correct password. It was not available only an hour or so ago. "Create Ticket" results in a bad certificate with the following error: The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.kayako.com , kayako.com (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain) ( https://support.campbx.com/Tickets/Submit) Three possibilities exist in my mind: 1) Hack and site hijack with subsequent twitter and facebook hijacks. 2) D-Dos and loss of data preventing valid login 3) MK goxxing type shit
Please govern yourselves accordingly. |

Just wanted to update this thread despite the lack of apparent interest. I attempted to login once the site came back online. My credentials are known only by me and no one knows my passwords to anything. I was unable to login at https://campbx.com/ using my credentials. The "little eye thingy" that allows you click and view your password is absent from the site. There are a few other minor discrepancies that only regular users would notice. Please avoid loging in to campbx until we hear something from the site admins via twitter or facebook. EDIT: Fuck that! Do not attempt to login unless you want to lose your balance. Wait. If you are a concerned customer; post in this thread. |

They have been down since Thursday July 3, 2014. It is an obvious hack. I didn't have anything for sale, but do have some coin in my KYC'd account. How are you contacting support? They have been silent since supposedly thwarting a D-Dos attack on July 3, 2014 (per their twitter and facebook). You have more at stake on Campbx than I do. Although I haven't had any trouble with Campbx in the past; I am concerned. That chart where the price spiked is confounding. Let's get to the bottom of this. Source: https://twitter.com/CampBX https://www.facebook.com/CampBX Why an exchange would remain silent during an extra long outage is baffling. Their twitter and facebook seem to work, so let the customers know what is going on with their money. LMAO: Campbx is back up - just now (17:30 EST). I hope your account is okay. Keep us updated. MUST EDIT: The green bar is gone from the now up https://campbx.com/ I would avoid entering my credentials for the time being. I'm actually going to logon and attempt to withdraw some coin and will report back to this thread once finished. I swear I am damn near done with all exchanges. Helpdesk ---> create ticket. My account still closed. No answer from them. I hope they will let you withdraw you funds. I'm done with them all too, i'm still waiting for a serious company to take over the sector, after 5 years there's not a decent exchange yet and that is just ridicoulous. I'm unable to login with my known credentials. I tried three times (5x before getting locked out). This is cause for concern. I have never changed my password on campbx. The little "eye thingy" that allows you to view your password after typed is no longer present on the webpage. I hope I didn't get phished. If I did, let it be a lesson to you all. My time and financial resources are going to be used to create a solution to this whole "exchange" shenannigans that are polluting an otherwise wonderful market like bitcoin. Frustrated and mad as fuck.It would be nice to get an update on facebook or twitter. Otherwise it appears as if another exchange has taken the money and run. Bullshit no matter the reason. |
