Hello,

There is a problem with your send mail.

What can I do to fix this problem. I do not receive any mail from you when I try to login.
Usually I get a bunch of mails (unsuccessful login, successful login, pin to enter the system, etc.) Now I get no mail at all.

And as I need mail pin in order to login, I can not login.

Please help and let me know if there is a workaround.

This is not a common problem although some email systems are not good at delivering (AOL in particular), and your friend who registered must receive emails anyway as there is a registration confirmation email.  I suggest you check your spam folders thoroughly, and if nothing there find a whitelist and whitelist the cryptopia domain. Failing that contact your email provider.

Cryptopia scammed me out of .33 btc with their ongoing paccoin scam, i complained last night and told them i was going to the police and will do all i can to see justice served and i wake up this morning to find out my account is locked and they are stealing thousands more i have in my account there.

Tell the truth. 
- You made a serious of bad trades (buy high, sell low), that is not Cryptopia's fault
- You couldn't trade the last coin you bought any longer (you could still withdraw it though) so you posted public information about one of the Cryptopia founders on every forum you could think of (against terms of service of everywhere you posted it), threatened violence against the company and the directors, including inciting violence from others, all of which is a Criminal act and you are likely to be reported to the police for this.  You plastered all the Cryptopia forums with this as well.  This kind of behaviour can not be tolerated - this is why your account was locked (for a year).

The people who executed deposits and got confirmation on the site: http://chain.nem.ninja/#/blocks/0

However, are having difficulty receiving their XEM (NEM) coin deposits (NEM) in  accounts Cryptopia.

Report to https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/ for the police.


Contact the New Zealand Police http://www.police.govt.nz/advice/email-and-internet-safety/electronic-crime

Read their news post about growth etc: https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/news

People will get their funds, just have a bit of patience. Reporting to the police will get you nowhere, Cryptopia are a properly registered company in NZ and already work with the NZ regulators and Police cyber crime division.  They're solid.

This may be somewhat true for some users but I actually had a different PW for my Cryp acct than any other exchange, so this does not apply to me.

I sympathise with you losing your funds, but the whole idea of 2FA is that it proves (at least with high confidence) that you have physical possession of the sole authentication device and therefore you are likely to be the rightful owner of the account. [2FA isn't perfect, of course. Email 2FA is useless if a hacker already controls your email, and SMS 2FA can be captured by porting your phone number to new account.]

A different password for each site will not help if you have something that has logged your keypresses, or nabbed your browser's password file. Anyone who has a copy of your "virtual" credentials can log in, from anywhere in the world. That's what 2FA is intended to prevent.

I do think you have raised a valid point about failed logins. Multiple attempts should lock out the account, temporarily at first, for a longer period each failure, then eventually semi-permanently. It does sound like you may be making some assumptions about brute forcing, though.

You made some fair points and you're somewhat right about the brute force statement.  However, Cryptopia themselves are the ones that notified about the "multiple" attempts. Granted, there is no way for me to know exactly how many "multiple" means, but most certainly in implies more than 3, which should be the floor for beginning of acct locking protocols (as you described above).  Since this clearly was either not in place at all or way too easily circumvented by the hackers, which on it's own is more than sufficient grounds for me being due full restitution from Cryptopia.

Although I have now switched over all 6 types security to Google Auth 2FA, this is still insufficient for the trading/withdrawal loophole I mentioned.  Cryptopia admitted that the 2FA (PIN at the time) had temporarily thwarted the hackers from just sending all of the LTC they accumulated to an external LTC wallet. But, they used the trading loophole that i described to artificially dump an unknown shyt-coin at 3% its cost (to obviously another acct they owned).  So bottom line, if a hacker somehow accesses your account, even their 2FA protocols will not protect from your account be liquidated. This is another huge security gap IMO.  Not sure what the bigger, well-respected exchanges has in place to thwart this but there has to be a way.


You say you're not sure what bigger exchanges do to thwart this? I can answer that, nothing. Dumping happens all the time, legitimately. This is not something for the exchange to stop as it is what an exchange is for. For a hacker to get into your account, you did something wrong or had something of yours compromised, whether it is re-using your password elsewhere, getting caught by a phishing scam, left yourself logged in somewhere, had your phone hacked, had someone looking over your shoulder, it is your security that was compromised not the exchange. Cryptopia has more 2FA options than anyone else out there, including on login, that will further protect your account. I suggest you use the options available to you and properly secure your account. Oh, and Cryptopia does appear to lock your account after 3 failed attempts.

Doctor - Today at 11:25 AM
@everyone at Signatum family. Just a brief announcement regardging numerous comments on LevelDB update. It was not mandatory but it was released to prove a point that the version upgrade had nothing to do with any issue related with exchanges. Recently on bitcoin talk, few users have been paid to create a negative campain against Signatum. Avoid jumping in as this only shows them that their paid campaigns are getting attention by the community. Same users are under different aliases on official discord and telegram channel.

The leveldb update, he insists it isn't a problem but then updates it anyway, isn't that just proving that it was a problem rather than the other way round? Funny way of proving a point.

Doctor is either deluded into actually thinking himself important enough someone actually forked out for a negative campaign, or creating excuses for why his precious coin is being attacked. There are plenty of people in this industry that call things as they see them and are actually trying to help protect others in the community. assuming anything negative against signatum is a paid attack either paints Doctor as a complete industry novice or hes attempting to manipulate his own community into thinking he really is the Doctor and can do no wrong and anything negative is just FUD they should ignore. A well selected alias for that as well.

Sounds like the Doctor has managed to get all to hero worship him. It has happened in this industry many times before and will happen again. Just look at how many became "chaincoin hodlers" and bought into that movement and kept defending it despite all the quite rational people calling it a massive scam on every single youtube video that got posted by the hero of that community. Turns out it died a horrible death and took the community down with it, wiping out many that had invested every last cent following their hero. despite all this many of them continued to defend it all the way, calling every negative comment FUD, and they all lost out. go look it up. I bet there are still people defending it now.

sounds like signatum is talking about masternodes now too, sound familiar after looking at chaincoin? Do your research properly and if you do want to keep investing in signatum please dont put everything you have in it. There are very few coins like this that have become successful longer term, I hope for all your sakes signatum is one of them but don't count on it. really looks like just another shitcoin with no real purpose.

So let me get this straight you mined to a exchange address, some thing that all exchanges ask you not to do, The SiGT users that did this caused the wallet to break when it hit over 800000 transactions and now you are complaining you are not getting your deposits?,

Yes - they mined to exchange address - even though there is a clear warning not to do so - and they kept sending deposits to the wallet despite it being in maintenance and knowing there was wallet problems. They must be rocket scientists.

Not only that, Cryptopia have told them all that they will process the deposits as soon as they can cause they manually have to fix all this shit up that the minors and wallet dev created, they're allowing everyone to withdraw, and yet Cryptopia are the asshats in all this?  Pathetic.  All because they don't tell the idiots that kept depositing after the wallet is broken exactly when they'll get their precious SiGT so they can go flick it off somewhere else?  They should be grateful Cryptopia are still fixing all the mess that the miners and the wallet dev created instead of being abusive.

The only people that have made a public statement including technical details are Cryptopia. https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/News
I already told you, that if technical details were posted before delisting it could help to fix the problems and direct sigt community energy to the correct target.
Why they get banned from there is they raged out there and talking shit !
Do you know that 10-20% of people around are crazy? You can google for statistics. The internet full of trolls, and what was your reaction if bank frozen your account for a month? I'm sure that Poloniex support was flooded, when they frozen ZEC wallet. And also another 10% of people have a lot of BTC and they wish to spend them on your exchange. You just punished all those peoples. So sigt 50 btc\day volume moved to another exchange. Good job!

It appears Cryptopia was informing Signatum what was going on. A dev from Signatum even visited Cryptopia personally and confirmed the problem with the Signatum wallet. Next thing it wasn't just the 10-20% that continued ragging, the lead dev of Signatum incited violence against Cryptopia and Signatum publicly bashed them on twitter. You should not be at all surprised that this led to delisting.

As for Poloniex support getting flooded, has anyone received a response to a support ticket there in the last two months? I know I haven't.

whats wrong with Cryptopia? no trading volume. Are they deleting SIGt?

Yep, the Signatum wallet couldn't handle volume and crashed, the Signatum devs refused to believe or help fix it, and abused and threatened Cryptopia publicly, so Cryptopia removing it. They also seem to be doing loads of work to return user coins by splitting wallet up despite all the abuse. See here for more info: https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/News

Absolutely - just that our chances of actually interacting with any of them are pretty damn ridiculously small. They'll be out there somewhere but we can't get to them and they can't get to us (or if they could why would they want to?)

Switzerland is great, and they like crypto Smiley
