Experiences with CoinsMarkets.com?

[MorisYT]

I think there only 2 ways in this situation :
1. Wait and maybe one day theyll be back
2. Report this story to some mass media resourses, it wont help to get back our coins but at least we'll prevent such situations in the future and teach people who are new to crypto not to hold much on exchanges.

What about finding them, hunting, legal actions etc. Even if this is real 100% scam its too late
1st beacause 30 days is more than enough to change your documents to new, change your face maybe and move to another country and cover all traces (with 100m$ in pocket its no problem for sure).
2nd - If it was so easy it would be already done, if u take a look at bitcointalk topic and this chat history there were a lot of ppl who contacted lawyers, hackers , police, host, domain reg etc...none of this actions gave any result. Maybe it worth to try but i doubt if we can achieve anything except losing time and money with this.

If this is how they pull an exit scam, this is the worst way to do it lmao.

by the contrary!
it is the best and most effective exit scam i have seen so far.
it managed to keep us from action till now.
from the point of effectiveness it worked really great for them.

There is no escaping karma.
CM devs may laugh, but in the end they will be weeping and gnashing their teeth, in this present incarnation or the next.

The money they stole from me was only a portion of a windfall-cash-cascade I made off the rise of various cryptos in 2017.
My main chunck is steal earning me easy money.   

[d_crypto]

This is not right...They seem to be very unprofessionals! Now i see why they don't really care to speed the process.

[AcesLament]

If it was an exit scam, they would not be leaving a trail by changing the news/messages on their site and renewing their domain and etc... If they were trying to exit scam, they would just disappear. But then that means that these coinsmarkets people are just plain incompetent which is probably just as bad as scam artists. Once we get our money back, I suggest never using them again because this will happen again unless they change how they operate.

Nah. There is no santa, and no karma. The only gnashing of teeth they will have is from the stress of thinking what to do with the 100M they stuffed their underpants with.

Personally I have not made that much, started in crypto late and with small capital. Anyway, what I had on CM was good chunk I got by leveraging the ups of all the shitcoins there. Too bad it is gone but I kind of I expect all crypto can vanish or lose its value in a moment, so there it goes. Guess I should be setting up my own wallets for all them shitcoins I trade..

Will keep checking but have spent enough on this, pointless to waste more time. Little to gain on any action for me..

True, make no sense to exit scam, this are just some retards who dont know what to do. If they wanted to exit, they would already leave and let the cm domain name down. Why contact ghandi and webhosting to get everything on track again?

I also beleive something else is wrong behind this wall

Thanks Einstein. I get what you are saying. We should all be glad they took your money, and hope they took as much as possible. Otherwise you might end up rich and alcoholic. Cheers.

Don't let knowledge get in your way.
You certainly would not want to know how much was taken, and how much is currently exponentiating - that might throw shit on your face. We all know you have to live in ambiguities or your narrative would be in a world of shit.

About the down time ,
Time : 2018-01-19

First let us explain what is coinsmarkets , we are based on 2 investor , 1 admin , 1 coder , 2 senior support and 4 general support .

In November last year 1 of senior support left the team , It is hard enough to hire a new one , this work is based on a lot of trust , so we still waiting for correct condidat .

 

Now let's move to the issue , in December we experienced a lot of new users and huge volume , we were ready for double or even triple volume but in our case it was 10x +.

From here all kind of problem start with servers ,

Now add to that the last senior support remaining have some family issue and was forced to be off  most of the time .

In addition to all that there was some db corruption issue we faced due to the overload and later hosting issue.

 

So a lot of work to do with a lot of missing stuff.

 

Please understand that in exchange you can't just go and hire someone and trust him millions of dollars .

 

We are sorry for lack of comunication about issue we have thought that people already trust us enough , and we invested 100% of time in restoring the site .

 

Now issue with hosting , hosting complained about a lot of fraud report from users about our service . We find this really hard to explain , it is clear that not even a single coin has moved from our wallets , and once again we are here to stay ,

We have not even released 10% of our road map , there is a lot of new future to be added in the nearest future.

 

A week ago we started negoation with new host that can accept similar service , we initiated the move ,

The Database was fixed yesterday night .

 

Now remain to setup new servers , few fix here and there and service will be restored ,

 

We write our news only in coinsmarkets news section , any twitter , chat msg etc is a scam ,

You forgot the " trading in a few hours" on 2018-02-03

Then 4 days later...
"Again delay due to hosting , we get to move again"- 2018-02-07

Also turning the wallets are on then they're off then they're on then they're off.

Going from secured to unsecured to secure to unsecured site.

Logging on bitcointalk yet not posting anything official as they did when they went down for a few days back in 09/2017.

[ghostwalker.ph]

if you're still waiting for CONSmarkets to come back, you dont need to wait.

you need to travel back to the past and withdraw all your coins.

CONSmarkets isnt gonna come back, the creators of the site are already travelling around the world with their hard earned cryptos!

wake up people, we need bounties to hackers to trace them and get them a decent funeral ASAP!

[duffrageous]

If anyone has ever had a family member or a close friend die unexpectedly, it hurts a little more and takes some time to get over it.  Be thankful you still have the seat on your pants.  I had $170k in coins on coinsmarkets(about 5 btc) and other exchanges before they went down.  I was gonna setup two nodes in a couple days but I got lazy.  We knew the site had been freaking out for days. Then on Jan 7, the market started to dip before the big crash on Jan 16.  I now have about $50k left.  I know you just gotta work hard and be lucky you're alive.  If BTC hits 50k at the end of the year, we should be good again.

[Burlz]

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

hoping is over man.
i am willing to pay 50k€ when get my stuff back.
anyone who can make this happen pls contact me asap.

hey onewayticket

I have been posting at various forums and the like to see what support there is out in the community to get behind a crowdfunding project with the goal to raise funds (while protecting the contributor of those funds) and use the funds to post bounties for information, hire investigators and legal team etc.

Generally there has been little support, but maybe if I build it they will come.

Are you interested to support this project?
Are you able to introduce other supporters?

It is intended that the supporters that pledge funds and ultimately contribute will get a seat for decisions and oversee the process and priority in the recovery of coins.

I do not have any experience in crowdfunding - but there is little to no action out there apart from people wasting energy on anger and despair, so a small team working on this would be a big step forward.

Thoughts?

[Burlz]

Additionally there have been many comments stating the coins are already gone.

Yet if I check the block Explorer (as others have also) of various coins I have - they are all still in tact.

Can some one explain how they can exchange or transfer coins if that transaction is not recorded in the block explorer?
If they have found a way to do this then they are a genius and the blockchain is in fact worthless.
Or I do not understand how the blockchain works (which is also possible)
