BITMIT IS CLOSING

[Dalkore]

Just got an official email and this is on their website:

"Bitmit is closing
Bitmit is shutting down its services in two weeks. Please complete your orders and withdraw your funds asap!

2013 November 6th
Read more..

If you are interested in buying the site we will publish further information in about 2 weeks. Meanwhile please stay patient, updates are posted here.

There has not been any hack, missing funds etc.

« The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure. Bitcoin evolved from a sore baby to a powerful soldier who is surrounded by a wonderful community of freedom fighters! With your help Bitcoin will be able to defend itself in the fight against all financial systems that are based on debt. But for us it's time to move on. »

We really appreciate your long time support!"

I haven't been able to withdraw because no emails are coming through. Have you tried to withdraw yet?

Seriously? The only major Bitcoin-only marketplace is closing?

That seriously sucks. Looks like someone will have to come up with a replacement.

[OneMoreHuman]

Okay seriously, why are they trying to close?

Maybe they have no intention of closing. They just want to cash in with whoever wants to take over.

[superdork]

I saw that. 

I am checking out coingig.com which looks pretty nice at least. Anyone have any experiences there?

I've been working on a similar service.

www.bitcoin247sales.com

Launched last week.

Expanding the website will be my one and only project for the following months. So any feedback, suggestions or requests are more than welcome.

more details can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=316750.0 and ofcourse at the website itself.

These days it sucks being a Bitcoin market place.

I'm not sure why can't they simply sell the site? why announce a shutdown, and then says "if you are interested in buying the site contact us"? this has already destroyed much value in the site.

Probably because that's what was stated in the national security letter.

Right before Christmas too. Where am I suppose to get my gifts now?

[52edcs10ma]

I do not understand this step of Bitmit. For me this is completely nonsense. If they want to sell than they should keep the Bitmit working so they could sell it for better money.
They changed the servers recently. They made many software improvements a few days ago. Why are they going to lose everything?

[b!z]

I also got that email. Does anybody know why they are closing?

[Dalkore]

I would like to take over Bitmit and continue its operation.  I have an engineering team and background in e-commerce and web development.    Finding a good fit will be the key to keep Bitmit growing.

SAME PROBLEM.

I have a wallet balance but I am unable to get it out of BITMIT because they never send the confirmation email!  

WTF!

Isn't there a member here that runs bitmit?

EDIT:

Just tried again for the 3rd time in 3 days, AND IT WORKED!  Got the email.

My vote:  Get your coins out NOW while the site still (mostly) works!

Email I got has:

Hallo Brian,

Bitmit is shutting down its doors in 2-3 weeks. Please complete your orders and withdraw your funds ASAP!

Viele Grüße,

Is bitmit closing now going to become an annual event? It was going to close last year about the same time too.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=119334.0

I guess soon we will find out that is it up for auction, the auction has been cancelled, we have figured a solution, it isn't really closing, it is business as usual, what are you complaining about?

I look forward to the bitmit closing scare campaigns in October/November 2014!

Or could it be that it really is closing down this time? I don't know what to believe any more, they lost all credibility last year.
