Could you post a screen shot?  I'm unable to replicate your exact error.  This is what I get depending on the inputs:

Amount blank, Limit blank: "Amount must be specified"
Amount >= 0.001, Limit blank: "Price must be specified"
Amount blank, Limit set properly: "Amount must be specified"
Amount >= 0.001, Limit set properly: order is placed

Amount < 0.001: "Amount must be greater than 0.001"

Amount >= 0.001, Limit set incorrectly: "Post Only: Cannot place order at xxx USD/BTC."

All of these messages appear just below the Place Order button after I press it.

Have you tried reloading the web page?

This is a complete lie.  I've needed a personalized response, and I've submitted at least 8 "tickets" (they're really just messages because they don't show up anywhere and you can't reply to them) through their system, and as others have said, I've never gotten anything but canned responses.  Their e-mails always end with "Please, don't reply by e-mail. Use our support section: https://c-cex.com/?id=support"  I have tried replying by e-mail, and I didn't get an answer that way either.  PMing them on bitcointalk has also gone without a response.

If you want some more details and a laugh, keep reading (and I will note that despite wanting to use it, I have refrained from all foul language).

---------------------

One of my latest messages to them via their "ticket" system:

Over the past month, I have submitted the same request about 5 times, and every time, you completely ignore what I say.  Would you please read what I write this time?

You keep sending the same canned response: "Hello! In case you forget your login - you may use your e-mail as login. Please, try to use "Lost password" link to recover your password in case you forget your password. Important! make sure Your are clicking on "Activate" link from e-mail before using new password. You will also be able to change your password in Profile page. Have a good day! Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Thanks!"

The problem is that **** I AM NOT GETTING THE E-MAIL!! ****  Last year, I did use the Lost Password link, I received the e-mail, and I was able to reset my password and log in.  Since then, something has changed ON YOUR END because my e-mail and everything else on my end is still the same.  I still get "Authorization Failed" e-mail from your system, so I know that's set up correctly.  (And btw, I'm a computer programmer, so I know what I'm doing with e-mail and computers.)

Is it possible that my account has been disabled because I hadn't logged in for several months?  If so, would you please re-enable it?

---------------------

E-mail response #1:

Hello! Please, open your profile page: https://c-cex.com/?id=profile You can make all necessary changes here. Have a good day! Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Thanks!

E-mail response #2:

Hello! In case you forget your login - you may use your e-mail as login. Please, try to use "Lost password" link to recover your password in case you forget your password. Important! make sure Your are clicking on "Activate" link from e-mail before using new password. You will also be able to change your password in Profile page. Have a good day! Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Thanks!

---------------------

Same thing over and over again.  I can't get to my profile page because I can't log in, and I can't log in because their method of resetting my password doesn't work.  And no, my password manager has not forgotten my password, either.  I shouldn't have problems accessing my account in the first place.

I'm betting there's nothing but a bot on the other end.  Every single e-mail response I've gotten from them has come either on the hour or 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 minutes past the hour.  I don't think that's a coincidence.

---------------------

C-cex, please PM me to sort this out.  If you don't, I will be leaving negative trust.

Edit: They did eventually contact me, and they were able to fix the problem.  Thanks, C-Cex!

I agree that $5k is looking very likely now, and I wouldn't be too surprised if it did touch $3k or thereabouts (ever since the retracement from $5k to $3k in September I've been bothered by the fact that it never retested $3k).

However, I don't think we're going to get a period of price stability for a significant length of time.  We did after the last crash in 2014/2015 because I think most people wrote off bitcoin as finally being dead.  A lot of people lost interest after the boom in 2013.  But I see two big differences with this cycle.  First, bitcoin/cryptos are a lot closer to going mainstream than they were then.  Today, there's a lot more interest, and it's much broader, including some from institutions.  Second, this drop is much much faster (so far, at least) than the last one.  It took over a year for bitcoin's price to crater after hitting a high of around $1100.  That was much more of a slow, grinding decline that you just couldn't stop.  Price has jumped off a cliff over the last month.  It could take a little while to get back up to $20k, but when this thing finally does bounce, I think it's going to bounce really hard.

First, I will give the standard disclaimer that I have some SPN and thus hope it increases in value.

Anyway, polyatail, I'm confused by your post.  I understand your frustration...been there done that with other coins.  But if you want your investment to be worth something, why try to discourage everyone else from buying?  Don't you want others to buy?  Plus, based on your observations, it sounds like a single person may own most of the sell wall at 2 sat.  If that's the case, that person could easily pull that order at any time and make SPN look much more attractive to buyers.  One trick whales can use is to put up a big sell wall to encourage others to sell while the whale buys.  Then the whale drops the wall and waits for price to increase so they can sell.

Easily possible.  Every serious crash that bitcoin has had in its history has been at least 75%.  The last one, from ~$1100 down to ~$150 from 2013-2015, was around 86%.  That kind of drop from $20k would put price around $2800.


Cryptocurrencies will not go away.  Governments can do whatever they want, but they can't stop cryptos from existing.  However, that doesn't mean that they can't ban or regulate them to the point where they are no longer worth owning as an investment vehicle (read: they won't go to zero, but they could be worth much less).

Yeah, I looked around a bit and also wondered if YoBit might be a decent option.  Unfortunately, it looks like the dev hasn't even been on bitcointalk in over 6 months.  I find it quite impressive that the SPN network is still up and running, even if there are only a couple nodes.

What do you mean by "doesn't synchronize"?  If you mean that it gets to within maybe 24 hours and then stops, it's doing what it should be doing.  The problem is that there's almost no one mining it on a regular basis, and every once in a while, Prohashing comes along and directs a ton of hash power at it for a brief period of time.  This results in a burst of like 50 blocks solved in an hour or less.  After pillaging SPN, they move on to another coin.  I get that they're trying to mine the most profitable coin at any given point in time, which is fine in general.  But it kicks the crap out of coins like SPN that have very little base hash power, making it pointless for anyone else to mine.

On the bright side, they do have a nice block explorer page for SPN, which shows you when the last block was mined: https://prohashing.com/explorer/Spartancoin  It looks like it was almost a day ago at this point.  So as long as your wallet has record of the blocks up to that point, it's properly in sync with the SPN blockchain.


That would be great.  Unfortunately, the only exchange SPN was listed on, Cryptopia, just disabled all of their LTC and DOGE markets due to an inability to service the huge influx of users and trades they've gotten over the past few months.  I suppose, though, that maybe this does present an opportunity to get SPN listed against BTC somewhere since it's no longer listed against LTC.  I'm not sure where to make that happen, though.

Indeed!  Today was quite an active day for SPN.  We haven't seen a price of 4 Litoshis for about 6 months.

I think you meant $10,000 the second time, too, right?  A drop below $1,000 tonight would take quite a miracle, but would be quite the buying opportunity.

Aside from the need for a serious correction after such a crazy run-up this year, I think at least part of it is the South Korean exchange Youbit filing for bankruptcy after being hacked by North Korea.

Edit: If you look at the daily charts, there were also some technical indicators pointing to a significant correction--namely price-MACD and price-volume divergences.  The beginning of November, when the Segwit2x fork was canceled, was the last time there was a price-MACD divergence.  Price dropped about 30-35% during that correction.

By the technical definition of a bubble (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_bubble), I think that bitcoin is probably in bubble territory because there's no good way to figure out what its intrinsic value is.  It also isn't really "backed" by an economic system like fiat currencies.

That said, I'm not really sure how much it matters, at least for the short to medium term.  Ultimately, bitcoin's price will, of course, continue to rise as long as demand exceeds supply.  And there seems to be a lot of potential for increased demand in the form of people who would like to invest but don't have easy access (e.g., through an ETF), as well as skeptics who may eventually decide to board the train (especially large institutions like banks).

Eventually, I think there will be a day of reckoning when the supply of buyers dries up as a result of everyone-who-cares being invested.  However, that day still seems to be a ways off.

I shall indeed move on.  Given your evasiveness (you haven't shown any desire to respond to any of my reasonable questions), lack of rationality in your responses, and lack of respect in your attempts to accuse me of doing the things that you are doing yourself (attacking, insulting, etc.), attempting to carry on a meaningful dialogue with you is obviously pointless.  I do sincerely hope that you have great things planned that will reward your investors.

To everyone else, I again repeat my advice to understand your investments before you put money into them.  While I do hope that C is not a scam, my exchange with Ehrhc has not convinced me otherwise.

I'm still not exactly sure what you're looking for here.  My advice (invest rationally and know what and whom you're investing in) applies to all investments of any kind, from ICOs to mature cryptos like bitcoin to stocks to real estate.  Do you disagree?

What do you want me to say about that in regard to bitcoin?  With BTC, and with all other successful cryptos, you should understand what it is before you buy it.  If you don't know anything about bitcoin, then I suggest that either you don't buy it, or that you learn about it first.

The difference between your project and bitcoin is that with bitcoin, you can find all the info you want about it.  You can easily find the white paper, code, info on the current devs, etc.  It is a well-established project, but it's still a high-risk investment.  If you don't understand the potential risks (i.e., what could cause bitcoin's price to crash by 90%+ and either not recover or take many years to recover), then again, I suggest that either you learn about those risks or don't invest.

The bottom line is that every investment, no matter how safe it's considered to be, has risks, and you should understand those risks before investing.  Applying that to your project, you give absolutely no information whatsoever, so it's impossible to understand the risks.  Therefore, in my opinion, it does not seem wise to invest in your project.

I believe that I've applied my advice to bitcoin.  If you think I'm lacking something, please let me know.  I would appreciate it if you would now apply it to your project.

I have a few thoughts here.

1. Why do you feel the need to attack anyone who expresses concern or skepticism about your project?  It would seem to me that if it's legit, you would be able--and want--to take the time to address such concerns in a calm, rational manner, rather than dismissing them as "stupid."

2. I'm not sure where you got "stupid questions" from as I didn't ask any questions.  But I assume from using the word "stupid" that for some reason you didn't like what I said.  Don't you agree that investing rationally and knowing who you're investing in are good ideas?

3. You said, "While you are on Bitcoin...."  I said nothing about bitcoin.  Bitcoin is completely irrelevant to whether or not your project is a scam.

4. Could you please explain where you're going with the thing about the top 1000 bitcoin wallets?  It looks like about a third of the total bitcoins reside in them.  What's your point?  How does that relate to your project?

5. Finally, my overall point is that you need to provide more info.  If this isn't a scam, then great--please give us some idea about what your plans are so we can at least make a reasonable decision about whether or not we'd like to invest.

I honestly don't know if this is a scam or not, but to me, this doesn't pass the smell test.

OP, please provide more info.

To everyone else, I offer the following simple suggestions that apply to any project:

1. Invest rationally, not emotionally (i.e., know what you're investing in).
2. Know who you're investing in (i.e., be sure to check out the people involved in the project: research their crypto experience/track record, read their biographies, and look at their trust ratings and trust feedback if they have bitcointalk profiles).

One thing noticeably different about the rally to 17/18k was that it seemed to be at the expense of alt coins.  It looked like everyone was selling alt coins to buy BTC.  As we've seen in the last 24 hours, that trade is very easily undone (i.e., bitcoin is sold to buy the beaten down alt coins).  The bitcoin cash rally when segwit2x was cancelled was the same kind of event.  First, it looked like everyone was dumping BTC to buy BCH.  After hitting extreme levels, that trade completely reversed over the following couple of days.  So I don't think this current rally will be sustainable unless we see new money coming into the markets.    Before we reach for $25k, I think we need a good correction that convinces everyone that the $10k-12k area is solid support.  So, unless bitcoin goes bananas when bitcoin futures start trading and skyrockets again (which could happen), I don't think $25k is in the cards this year--maybe within the first few months of 2018.

Ha!  That's a great post--definitely creative.  The author nailed $10k in 2017.  One problem though: $1000 in 2015 is completely wrong.  We hit $1k at the end of 2013, and I think it was below $1k for all of 2015.  Oh well, so much for a guaranteed $1M by 2021. 

Regarding the skyrocketing price, it's certainly good to see it keep going--shows lots of interest.  But some, including myself, are becoming somewhat concerned about how fast it's moving up.  Auction-based financial markets like bitcoin need to maintain a fairly steady rate of increase with periodic pullback and consolidation (sideways price movement) periods to maintain a healthy trend.  Acceleration to the upside can cause the market to get out of balance and subsequently lead to pullback/crash of greater magnitude.

As far as when it might stop going up, the short answer is that no one knows.  You can try to predict when it might turn around in the short term using technical analysis.  In the long term, while there is substantial risk, many around here believe that we will see much higher prices.

As has already been said, self-fulfilling prophecy is pretty powerful.  Back when BTC hit $5k, there were a lot of calls for a drop to $3k.  The China ban occurred, and what happened?  We bounced quite nicely off of $3k.

There has also been quite a lack of FUD lately.  It wouldn't surprise me if something unexpected came along just as we breach $10k or shortly thereafter.  I saw another thread talking about rumblings at the Federal Reserve.  I know nothing about that, but something of that nature could lead to a quick correction/crash.
