I almost feel like it should be mandatory in the Crypto community for the people who run any kind of exchange to release their names and real information in order to even be allowed to operate as an exchange. Yes i get decentralized... but there's also such a thing as socially ostracized but it would take every person to unite together and say we wont stand for people to operate a place where we trade and millions in dollars worth btc get transacted without it being required for there to be some form of identity of person responsible to that exchange..

Like who took our money? i have no freaking idea

I'm down a year's salary a mcdonald's to this stupid site. SO yes POLL it... we need to push as much material as possible.. to let these CM Cronies know that return something.. and apologize. we will forgive you... But we can't let this die man.

Well this totally sucks...  I hope they catch this freaking guy, and he returns our money.. although it will probably never happen.. I noticed that everyone seems to just accept that they have been jacked.. and that sucks... I don't know if you guys have seen what this supposed guy looks like but here's a link to see for yourself.

Also.. if you notice in the whois for coinsmarkets.com it is registered under a Kirkland Washington address... instead of tokyo like it used to be. Apparently the owners alias is Michael Weber..

Last thing... the website actually went down because the domain registrar is locked.. notice below.

Domain Status: registrar-lock* https://www.icann.org/epp#registrar-lock*


So it is from my understanding that the reason the website got shutdown completely is because of the domain host.. So.. not sure what anyone else's feedback is but we have to keep talking about it in order to keep the story alive and have a possibility of getting our crypto back.

>>> Last update of WHOIS database: 2018-01-30T16:40:41.00Z <<<

no they accounts are being drained.. to match deposits made the days before the crash... every one of the 5 transactions where btc was moved out of my wallet.. all of them total exact amounts of past deposits that i had made 1-3 days before the crash... unless it happened to you then you don't know.. but anyone that had btc removed.. ask them to check what those amounts were then tell them to goto their CM deposit history and sure enough they will match, yes my balance doesn't reflect correctly in the block explorer but it is my belief that they are catching up their database. I'm happy to see the movement now it makes me think that we are getting closer to either having our money back or CM re opening.

Hey guys Great News i think.. so I was scared that my btc is being moved out of my CM wallet address... but anyone else that this has happened to... I want you guys to click deposit history and take a look at your bitcoin deposit history and compare it to the last transactions that happened in the block explorer of your btc CM wallet address.... because in fact.. all of the movement that has happened in the last 7 days, are exact totals of prior deposits that i made just a few days before the crash. I mean exactly.. so while my block explorer doesn't list the correct balance of my btc.. it still does under Coinsmarkets balance page... and because those balances are exact i'm leaning more toward that it isn't malicious Cm owners trying to exit scam...

So anyone else this has happened to also go check your deposit history and compare.

i agree with you as well that it is a possibility that all the btc is being transferred to a particular place especially due to the data corruption that I am well aware of and believe that CM had, but one can also say that it is very easy to believe that again no update or information explaining CM's intentions then just draining out the btc from the wallets... will make people consider an exit scam. Like that's the one thing through this whole debacle that I could still use as hope throughout the entire situation.

Hey at least my btc balance still shows in the block explorer that my btc hasn't moved... well now it has.. no update, and clearly other wallets are affected as well..

again i've already said this but what does this mean if they do come back.. that i'll have a new wallet address for my btc?

please believe me I am not here to intentionally spread fud, I have held hope for so long, but every person draws their line at some point.. and mine is all but crossed.

Umm because giving the situation its pretty obvious to assume there are hundreds of upset coinsmarkets users that all have a btc wallet address..... its the first coin you most likely might send in... and regardless of that in the balance page it shows what your btc address is... so if the question is whether or not these addresses are legit Cm address.... what do you need to see to confirm proof??? would you prefer a screenshot of the actual address in the balance section of your Coinsmarkets Account??? because this has affected me, and while i prefer to not reveal all the details about my account to the world... I myself get even more upset at the point of where people deny that these people are even real and their accounts in question actually are tied to this place that might be scamming real life people...


Yes the transaction id that i have posted.. ive posted a few actually on this forum.. it actually is my one and only coinsmarket btc wallet address... and yes it is being slowly drained to zero.. sent in batchs betwen .19 to .30 btc.. but around the table hitting 20 users or so at a time.. and I can only assume that if my account has an movement i didn't authorize then the other transactions all going to one address.. well they are probably also Coinsmarkets btc wallet address having the exact same thing happen to them.. I mean its like similiar amounts being pulled out across the board. I supported coinsmarkets and will continue to if they manage to come back, but at this point.. it is like the point of no return in my mind when I start to think that I'm going to be giving back what belongs to me...

One week... 4 different times my btc wallet along with several others.. are being drained little by little.. i know show a balance of less than .09 btc in my CM account... woohoo.. I'm hoping that somehow this is all apart of the process to fix the database... but i know for a fact this is CM why else would my address have activity and be linked, this sucks.. no explanation of why they are moving the btc... they are combining them in large amounts and by my count these transactions have bunched together what appears to be somewhere between 500 to 1000 or more bitcoins of movement. I myself don't know about any binance hot wallet nor do I have proof of that.. Only the activity that is happening to my own which anybody that knows their address can check in the block explorer.. I have i'm losing btc no explanation.. and Now i'm worried... this completely sucks..

I myself never came to this site until coinsmarkets went down hence why I am a newbie poster, and I also am hoping that this is due to some sort of technological upgrade but it is really beginning to worry me, especially since the whole life of my CM account, my btc wallet address has remained the exact same, so what would make them have to drain almost the entire amount of Btc from my CM BTC wallet, little by little, but in groups with other address which totals out to large amounts...? We are talking 10 btc at a time once they are combined. That is the question that I am asking myself. I hope very very much that they come back to full strength and don't jack all of it's users.. but the more time that goes by with the lack of consistent updates now that this move is happening really has me nervous.. It would be one thing if they said hey you will notice your btc address being drained but don't worry we are migrating our information and you will have a new wallet address when we come back live, But they aren't doing that, and while my btc total is drained down.. another .29 btc was just sent 2 hours ago to another random address along with more wallets btc totaling around 9 or 10 btc again just like earlier in the week.... i am scared.. this sucks.. I should have several litecoins in my CM litecoin wallet, yet that total in the explorer remains zero.I was doing some serious ECA/LTC trading the day of the crash, but now with my btc being drained out of course I am concerned.


I hope this end conclusion of it being legit and not a scam comes soon because every day now that goes by is another day where I now will be leaning more and more to them committing an exit scam.

cool now that you sold it, why don't you just do the right thing and go ahead and post the Cm owner info here now?

I heard about it in the electra discord. here is a link of the explorer that shows the activity of hundreds of millions of eca.. and lots of alqo being dumped. I can't guarantee that they are related to Coinsmarkets but not many people had near a billion coins of electra. and since electra has staking it theoretically makes sense. This person is sending the coins and selling them at Cryptobridge

https://bts.ai/u/allanosti1

So someone has been dumping 100's of millions of ECA, and also a large amount of ALQO as well... there is word going around that maybe its the CM owners.. dumping the staked coins..


My btc is being drained out of my wallet on the block explorer, im starting to get more nervous than ever that maybe I'm never going to get my ltc and btc back.

Another .31 btc has been drained out of my wallet going to a particular address. and it's happening very regular where they are collectively moving about 9 total btc into a specific wallet address..

Does anybody have any information about this... is this Coinsmarkets doing a final exit scam?

https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/address/16XmGiqBXwEEukK9RXQf2P5V1xm2vbbWjx/

this is the wallet address my btc got sent to..

So.. I just noticed that in my block cypher for btc.. they have changed the value of my btc wallet.. down .22btc from where it actually is listed in my coinsmarket btc amount.... This total is also different than the total that has previously been on the block cypher that I knew was wrong because I had bought some LTC and ECA.. the only thing is my LTC amount still shows zero.. and that is just not the actual case..

So Coinsmarket is either slowly trying to catch up or they are taking my money.. not sure what is going on but something is happening.

They have updated their news multiple times with much clearer detail in the last 2 weeks... its obvious and apparent that the site will be back up and running in the next 10 days... the transfer takes about 5-7 days to initiate and it looks as if it already has. Yes being patient sucks but all this talk about class action lawsuit is garbage... i have a nice sum of btc on that site so i need it as much as anybody, but they aren't exit scamming.. get over it... they will be back and all will be good.

after you get the socket error what you want to do, is remove the login id check from the http bar and basically just put in http://coinsmarket.com   the original site and then you will see your normal login information. or at least thats how i do it because i get the socket error every time too

yeah because i didn't even know about this site until i started looking into what was goin on, but wow man you sure do have so much experience with your 230 posts..gtfo here

i also luckily pulled out the other 3 btc worth of cryptos and put them in a different locations, so i am not completely out of it if this holds full weight to being a scam, but i still however have faith, due to the surge in users that day and the balances not having been updated correctly during the time in which the transactions occurred.

that still wouldn't answer why my bitcoin wallet has a total that I know i don't have in my bitcoin wallet.  I have less than 2 btc, i only uploaded that amount during that day, bought eca with it, traded the eca for litecoins, all of those trades happen during the day the crash happened and haven't been updated correctly, although my intial deposit for btc has, everything else would be correct except for the trades i made, nah man. i think they really are bogged down with work, and unless somebody shows me real proof of my coins being moved everything looks as it should to me.


the no communication part sucks, and i don't know what to do if and when the site gets back up and running because i love to trade on this site, i started with .1 btc and grew it into 5btc. so i will be using it again once it goes back up, only this time when i start to notice glitchy errors i will be moving my money out immediately and will cease all trades.

anyone who has previously dealt with the support knows how short they are in conversation, english also isn't most likely their first language.. My brain can't even comprehend how difficult it would be to clear up this whole mess, but I do believe that realizing the magnitude of the situation breaths gravity into my weightlessness of worry.

So i have a theory, everybody knows the initial reason we all thought coinsmarket went down in the first place. New ECA customers overloaded the site and caused the damn thing to blow up. Right well after several days of lack of communication I too am beginning to get worried however once checking the block chain and noticing the irregularity in my balance which is listed as a little over 2 btc, i realized that during the day of the actual crash I was selling ECA for litecoin. when I check my litecoin wallet in the block chain it actually says that I have a zero balance. The balance on coinsmarket remains accurate which is a little over 80 litecoins

So from my understanding of this the transactions that happened if you were trading on that day were not correctly updated due to the server overload so although the ledger in coinsmarket is still correct with our balances the blockchain still has yet to receive the accurate data which would cause an even more large amount of mayhem in order for them to fix.

the lack of communication is by far the worst part of the unknown about this. But during my frustration from the early beginnings of the ECA Overload i would send messages to the support and it was always short very low in details and just basically said please dont spam support.

So the dev is getting blasted with so many emails, death threats, you name it, etc... he's probably freaking out, a simple update from something that sounds human would make us all feel a little bit better..


but from how i look at it.. the balances just haven't caught up yet and they do actually have a lot of work to do.


https://live.blockcypher.com/ltc/address/LSw5eeiwXCBBoeNMkk7e5WjSzMRwimnn23/?before=1328702    here is my litecoin wallet which should have 80 coins

https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/address/1JmsctGR1CaG2bY59VY2rmJDGpAGNsCCBh/     here is my bitcoin wallet which shows 2.07 which is the total of my deposits from that day however i currently as on coinsmarket only have .92 btc    

any thoughts on this guys?
