Experiences with CoinsMarkets.com?

[MoonGTX1070]

I was one of the idiots who quietly kept patient, believing CM owners were incompetent fools but fools that were indeed trying to fix their problem, and that they would be back at some point. Then when they updated that trading would resume in a few hours, I honestly was happy lol. Then this happens, and I am starting to believe (cant believe it took me this long) the people calling it a scam are right. I have had experiences with shitbag scammers before in person, and BS excuses like this, always moving a deadline like this, without any other common sense actions or interactions, is pretty much stereotypical dirtbag scammer moves. I almost wish they would have just went offline a month ago without all these bs 'updates' to keep the 'hope alive'. Anyways, obviously I hope I am wrong, but after a month out, and the level of complete incompetence shown, and with this latest 'delay'.... Ive pretty much accepted reality at this point.

welcome back on earth

Thank you lol. Have to say, it sucks being back in reality. Had 40 ltc on CM that I only had on there because I just sold some COLX at its ATH and was in the process of transferring that LTC to Binance when the site went down.... bad luck, but I also should have obviously made smaller transactions to make sure I didnt have so much money on there at once. But I sent my COLX from my wallet, to CM, sold it, and the site goes down within the hour or so Im doing that lol.... now seeing all these prices, and the anticipation I had at finally getting my money to snatch up some of these coins.... gah... the pain. lmao.

damn.

    So being in denial was probably my coping mechanism kicking in lol.

Can someone here who has 100+ karma make a reddit thread(which we all should upvote) on r/cryptocurrency explaining the whole situation as deployed as possible? Lets take actions, guys, we should stop sitting here and hopelessly waiting for cm to come back. We need to spread awareness and let as much people as possible know about this.

it seems all are aware of this situation, besides what good awareness can give us? still evryone agrees that actions should be taken, but no one knows exactly what actions.

Who are "all"? I haven't seen talks about cm anywhere besides this forum and few others with minimum attention.

As for your second question - look up this post.

People

It appears as the time has come to make a unified community effort to track down and expose CM owners and staff.

If you are one of the many on this site that continually prove your low IQ and personal insecurities by negative comments and flat out abuse – please do not read on or reply.

Many like me have suffered loss from CM not because of ignorance, but because it was the only exchange that offered a market for some coins, and to trade on these required a balance to be deposited.

Sure trading in crypto currencies can be like the lawless wild west, and it will remain that way unless communities pull together to bring the crooks to account.

It seems from the onset that CM has gone to great length to hide and remain anonymous and their resent communications (which are minimal) only appear when there are signs that the community are gaining strength by organising themselves into an effective and possible treat.

I believe there was gentleman in this post that organised a website for posting of news and events for the pursuit of CM but I cannot find it at this time – maybe someone can dig that out and repost.

So as a constructive way forward I propose
•   The community establish a reliable hub of verified information (ie website as mentioned)
•   Create a registrar for expression of interest in contributing towards a fund to hire investigators and legal team
•   I suggest that as is the norm contributors to this fund are first in line to receive what is owed to them from recovered funds, the remaining then available to be distributed to non contributors
•   Funds are secured by trust third party escrow service or trust and released as directed by a committee formed from funds contributors
•   Action to continue until either
       o   CM fully operation
       o   Or CM owners identified and funds recovered
•   No misdirection or promise made on behalf of CM will stop this pursuit until CM is fully operational

Suggested action for CM Devs
•   Daily communication on CM news site
•   Get the site up ASAP
•   If you fear for your safety – request protection from the relevant authority
•   Have that authority community with this community group for verification

I am not suggesting a lynch mob, just a organised community of affected persons that will put an end to all the mis information and hatred, with the end goal of providing a win / win for CM and its affected customers.

We just have to find smart qualified people who re willing to help.
SO SPREAD THE INFORMATION EVERYWHERE YOU CAN. LET EVERYBODY KNOW.
ANY ACTION IS USEFUL AS LONG AS YOU DONT JUST SIT THERE AND DO NOTHING.

Post on r/cryptocurrency is important.

Awesome. I sincerely hope this gets us somewhere. I've lost a lot of money because my coins were held up and not being able to do anything about it whole the market was crashing.

[duffrageous]

I'm hoping our coins were sold at ATH first week of January, and they'll give us a 50/50 split.  It seems the coins are still there and holding 10-30% of value from one month ago if you check the wallets. 

[tembit]

I agree. We should have some actions towards CM. Even manually returning the coins back to users is doable and should have already been completed if they started when crash happened. Don't want to be fooled anymore. If trading is still not available, that's not a problem. Just return the coins back to users, in whichever way.

[d_crypto]

TBH i have to accept the reality as well...I think I will give up too and not spend anymore time to check or trace this damn CM. Bunch of idiots...I hope god will redeem them for what they are doing. No matter what, this issue would have been resolved in one month!

So you think they sold our coins at high prices and now buying them low?

Anybody consider that possibly the site was hacked, and now the hackers are just trolling with these "news" or headline updates on site's the main page....

Owners may be long gone by now.

My litecoins are still in the same place tho...

[burnedbyfees]

The absolute best case scenario is that the owners are too stupid to be trusted with tens of millions of $$$.

The most likely scenario is they are biding their time, making sure they've covered their tracks and waiting for an opportune time to move and dump people's coins without getting caught, they may also be finding buyers because some exchanges may be willing to work with victims to seize the coins.

Either way, tracking them down can only be a good thing. No exchange should be down this long.

No they can announce people here in the forum ..

I think so, They are waiting for the dippest moment of market or BTC, And they will buy our coins on that moment..

Btc is going down again and that`s why they are delaying us again ..

Anybody here with experience starting a crowd funding website???

I looked at kickstarter and it seems like it would be a good hub for giving updates while collecting pledges to fund the CM hunt.
There are no funds deducted from any account until the project reaches its funding goal - which is yet to be decided.
From the fund we would offer bounty for verified information and employ investigator and legal team.
Members of the fund would receive their funds first from recovered coins, before the remainder being distributed.
If everybody could pledge 5% of what they have lost I am sure we would have a substantial fund to track CM down.
I don't think kickstarter accepts BTC so if there is a more suitable option please suggest.

I am happy to get things rolling, just looking for a little guidance from the experienced for suitable crowdfunding platform.
It is up to us as part of the crypto community to bring CM to account - apathy is not a option.

Hopefully they come back soon
