The real problem is the 'male ego'.

Last  time they went down for 6 days and they had to  "finish updating DB  with all manual withdrawal , syncing wallet"
Now with x10 users in jan 2018 means 60 day wait

yea but what can u do. its horrible to have + run 15 or 30 different wallets on one machine, especially if its ur only machine that you use for other things

Surely it is cheaper to buy an additional hard drive for your current machine or even another very basic computer, could be second hand to run your wallets on rather than leave all your coins on the exchange and risk losing them. I've lost well over $1000 by having coins on Coinsmarkets and I guarantee you it won't happen again on any other exchanges. I keep everything in a local wallet now which is encrypted the minute the wallet is installed and it's backed up everyday.

There is no need to constantly keep updating your wallet either to see what your balance is. You can just use the block explorer for your coin and input your wallet address and then bookmark it in your favourite browser and you can do this for all your coins. You would only need to update the actual wallet once a week or once per fortnight when the computer is not busy. It is half an hour of setting everything up and makes life much easier and you are not relying on anyone else to manage your coins. you then only send your coins to the exchange at the times you need to.

Hopefully you will take some advice from experienced crypto users on this board who have been through all these issues before as your current train of thought will see you lose out big time at some point. I don't wish to see anyone go through losing money so you do need to take responsibility for protecting your own coins and not leaving them in the hands of exchanges that either don't have the skills or experience to manage it properly or the more sinister intention of running off with your money. As you will have seen in this thread there is very little chance of recovering our coins via any legal channels so best protect yourself from getting caught out in the future.

I did exactly the same. Lost over $1000+ as well on CM. Now everything is local and backed up on a regularly basis. This is not happening to me again. A good lesson that cost me some money.

nah they never did anything about anything i reported to them, including other exit scams. better to try ur luck with a real agency like interpol or dutch police

Coinsmarkets.com is not dutch, it is American. CM news section uses US date format not European.
Bitcointalk User "coinsmarkets" is registered in the US.

[gEMx]

too bad theres nobody in the us that could help you with any of this

[Coinmaster87]

site is not opening anymore

[grendel25]

They are fixing the last DB issue so maybe just one more month.  And it is Thursday, also known as pseudo Friday so we can expect work to begin again on Tuesday next week.  Maybe even the second Tuesday, next week.

American date format is happen to be mysql date/datetime format. It means that you need to write additional lines of code to convert default mysql format to your country format, a thing that a lot of people doesn't do. Also if you check the trade history, it uses european datetime format. Assuming website physical location by datetime format is as stupid as assuming site owner ethnicity by font-family attribute in css.

As for bitcointalk user, in 80% of CMS be it forums or websites with geolocation, guess what country is set by default when registering? It's USA. And if you remember CM news, they mentioned that one senior support has left the team in november, that might be that bitcointalk user, as he stopped posting in november. So that checks out.

Don't be cocky!

Never said the Algerian font-family was proof, but if there was a dutch font-family, i would choose that one as a wink to my background.

You are right about mysql being hardcoded to US dateformat.

Europeans don't use US date format when setting up the Operating System and it's locale, so it makes perfectly sense to to assume an American admin/dev if it wasn't for the hardcoded mysql date format. It makes sense where one should file a complaint, you can not file a complaint in every country of the world. So you'll have to make an educated guess of the perpetrator's origin.

Default is not US when registering at a forum with geolocation, default is an empty string, as in my case.

Guess what, the bitcointalk user "coinsmarkets" did not leave, he is still updating the news section of CM, in the same writing style (spaces around comma) as on bitcointalk.

Hey guys,

thinks we got Gox'd!  https://youtu.be/9KiqRpPiJAU

wtf

[ghostwalker.ph]

i probably think that CONSmarkets might be inside trading of the devs at ECA. come to think of it ECA became from 1 satoshi to 60 sats with 1 billion tokens and then it went down. i think there's something fishy with the devs publishing whitepaper and any updates.

while our ECA got trapped at CONSmarkets, ECA devs are dumping their coin at the exchanges.

we've been Goxed but way worse than Mt.Gox itself.

The DEVS at ECA are behind this!

It's time to bring out the pitchforks. It does not take 1 month to fix a database.

Actually that's what I thought all along especially what was being said in the chat went the site went down and how huge btc dumps were happening at that very moment CM went offline. I wish I was wrong but the timing was just too perfect. That's why I was trying to just cash out and get out before that last btc dump hit and that's when ooh look my trade went through but my coins never actually deposited into my wallet balance. How convenient. Then of course the lovely " withdrawals for this coin are disabled" hit after that and I'm sitting there thinking wtf?

All of a sudden ECA is on 4 other exchanges within few weeks with no issues? Like couldn't they do that before?

The other thing is the incessant promoting in the CM chat. It's like wait people's coins are locked up and you're going to keep telling people to buy the coin that brought them on this exchange in the first place and trapped them?

I even went to the discord and they kept shutting down any discussion about CM and did that " ooh but you know you can buy ECA at coinhouse". I'm like what are these people smoking? How do you go from "ooh yeah coins are stuck to lets change the subject to "hey go sign up for this exchange and buy more"  .

I really do hope I'm wrong and it was just bad planning , bad timing  and just bad all around on their part.

I even noticed  the Devs for flappy coin is actually trying to reimburse people's coins which is quite generous. Eca? "Shrugs".

I'm thinking is there a sensitivity chip missing or was that just a bot pretending to be human? Ohh nope just a human pretending to be a money grubbing bot. FFS. Unreal.

Surely I'm thinking "nah" maybe it's just a bizarre coincidence but promoting daily in a chat where a bunch of people are hoping to have access to their coins? I didn't see any other coin really do this straight for a month and a half and thought wow they really don't give a flying F***!
