Experiences with CoinsMarkets.com?

[Isle of Groestl]

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.

It's all about logistics -
First, who will be the Leader?
Second, where will we congregate?

Yes I agree there are some technicalities to be sorted out - but these are not show stoppers.
First item is to get the community organised and pulling together instead of wasting energy on despair and anger.

We gather members with skills and knowledge in various areas and have a central point for communication and posting of progress.
A face book page was suggested so we could control and block an negative trolls - but I am leaning towards a crowdfunding site of some kind as it also allows communication as well as keeping track of pledges and holding the funds until goals are reached - so offering some protection for the pledges.

I do not have a significant investment in CM - but believe they need to be brought to account for the sake of the crypto community.
There may be someone else out here that want to take the lead because of their sake in the game.
It would be ideal to somehow secure these funds via escrow to make sure they are spent appropriately - not sure if there is some sort of reputable service that can take this roll.
I am looking for positive suggestions and will need the support of the community.

Time to end the wait and take action
Unfortunately action will take personal effort

So all the idiots who were accusing me of FUD on the third day of CM going down finally woke up and realized that it is an exit scam.
Even the crappiest crypto exchange does not require more than 24 hours to recover.

Now, going forward there is one clear course of action.

We need to quickly hire a lawyer who operates in the same jurisdiction as whatever registrar that CM is migrating to.
This lawyer shall then be required to issue a subpoena to the registrar as soon as possible.

This will in turn force the registrar to divulge the personal information of the server guy behind CM.
Using that information we need a community member to quickly contact law enforcement in whatever country that server guy resides, and lodge a case against him.

Through this server guy, we can then be able to obtain information on the rest of the CM team.
In the meantime, we need to explore legal ways to confiscate all servers owned by CM such that coins can be returned.

Time is of the essence, as the f**kers behind CM are clearly using the excuse of host migration to throw people off their scent.

Stop talking and start doing something.

So.. They're going to move to another host, which is the problem they say they have, and for you that for sure means that it's an exit scam?

I find that when I look at the telegram group, and the chat, it's a lot easier for me to be worried and/or afraid- but when I just go to the website itself and think about what's going on... It just seems more and more likely that they're incompetent, rather than crooks.

I worry that the actions of the community are part of what is causing some of the delay. Please, I urge people not to be too hasty.

Then please be my guest and continue to hope that they are not scammers.

No one will fault you for lacking common sense.

As I keep repeating myself. The easiest and most effective step right now is to make a reddit thread on r/cryptocurrency which I will make sure will get a lot of upvotes. You need to have 100+ karma on reddit and a good way of expressing the whole situation as clearly as possible. This reddit helps daily with situations like this out and has 500k+ subscribers. Make a reddit thread, post it on this forum, and I will get this thread to 100+ upvotes to be noticeable

You've finally realized this? I'm sure that if it weren't because of the community, we would've had coinsmarkets up and running WEEKS ago.

This post is deleted because no 100+karma, so nobody saw it anyways. Also, this post doesn't explain the situation, its just a copy paste from this forum.

CMS remind me of Cryptsy where i had my ethereum from 2015.

Cryptsy gambled with our coins, they lost and the owner fled.

Seems someone already posted an article - can you up vote that one?

[fleer]

I said it was a scam since day 1 of this shit, but now I'm thinking they will come back.  Thank you for convincing me I was wrong.

tell us more, what did convince you
-as for my part they have no intention at all to come back.

[Astargath]

Even if they comeback, what they did is practically a scam. They are holding a ton of money hostage for more than a month causing people to lose a lot of money. If they comeback and that's a big if, no one should use their exchange ever again.

There have been no any changes on the website except messages on the main page. They have "lack buffer" error month ago and this error still exists. I think CM is waiting when users lose interest in this case accepting the losses and then CM owners transfer all balances to their wallet.

I really hope its not an exit scam, because if it is, it's the worst one I've ever seen.

Hope is a negative emotion...

Of course it is an exit scam!

How long does it take to migrate server to a different hosting? For me 1 day is enough, ever heard of virtual machines for christ sakes, it is really easy to migrate server!

yeah stop spreading naive unfounded hope

fucking NUH  all the time-this is not being positive, this is being damn stupid. and im really sorry to say so.
how long you want to NUH ??
just bear with us 2030? only a few hours servers run?

times out.
