"dev: premined 110k NVC successfully destroyed 9ffcf4b7c8a2e17a2776f7e8aaa0852ed2a7f80386bfc0d63991aac21dbdfe1e"

 BCMan, if you had the ability to comprehend the information available all over this place, you would know better than to argue about things you do not understand.  Perhaps you in fact lack the necessary 'grey matter' ? I suggest that you craft your next response carefully.

Educate yourself or be silent.
I guess you voted yes.

Interesting conclusion. Let me know when you've finished spouting nonsense.

Explain where I was wrong. I'll read it tommorow carefully, when will be sober.  Tongue Premined coins destroyed, decentralization is a matter of time, peace.

"decentralization is a matter of time"Huh? With NVC/PPC?


"Why there's no ltc in your list? Its a scamcoin too?" Several recent threads have been on here that successfully debunk the baseless conspiracy theories. If you wish to bump them, I will be happy to continue the discussion there.

Pretty heated in here. I voted yes. Of course it looks scammy right now. I haven't been able to get on the site all day. I had a 5 min window earlier and got my few coins off the site, but I had funds transferring and am really wondering where they are at about now. The NVC does look like at shit coin to me. I dont know enough about it to say for sure. Also on btc-e the site looks really generic, someone ahd mentioned it to me on otc and when I looked I was like no way am I sending money off the this dinky little nothing site. So yes it is looking scammy right now.

After talking to dev, I'm not overly concerned any more. They do seem to care about maintaining user trust.  It was down due to ddos and it is now on cloudflare, which will provide some additional overhead.


Also, add 108.162.200.186 btc-e.com to your hosts file. This "dinky little nothing site" happens to be the only exchange so far that covered its users after a 'security breach' (most of them knowingly sold their coins to the 'hacker', too). It was really just the compromised LR API at the root of it.


Even though it's in second place for overall volume to mt. gox, it has so far proven to provide superior customer support.

108.162.200.186 doesn't work for me. That said, I think BitStamp is number two now, (source?)

more or less retired.

BTC-e is completely retard on the ban issue.

Using bots and respecting their artificial limit of one query per second still can get you banned. I'm not fully against the ban, but the huge issue is that you get banned for every kind of access. This means you can no longer access the site, and the support email is a black hole. No email is sent telling the reason for the ban, neither how long will the IP continue banned. There is also the issue regarding dynamic IPs.

All in all, BTC-e please get smarter and change the way your ban behaves. Revoke the API key if you must, but don't act like a robber.

This also applies for every other kind of ban that is possible in BTC-e: the ban should block /only/ the action that caused the ban, not the fucking whole account for any kind of access.
