I tried to withdraw my bitcoin for 0.57229350 cents, not going anywhere. withdrawal null.and initiated.


18-Feb-14 21:56:34   null   withdrawal   initiated   0.57229350   0.57229351   0.00000001


and mine doge deposit -4,644.08242276 not going anywhere since they said doge is in maintenance mode.

Is there any support can help?

tonyca: Same situation as you, just that mine is GLC instead of Doge. My coin has a null tx id as well. Support has not replied me, two emails and more than 3 days now.

Dude stop acting all "noble". If you care as much as you said you did, place it as the first line of your signature. I've been more vocal about Coins-E in the IRC channels and on Twitter than you have, placing it as a signature that is partially covered because it's large and on the third. Oh, you also fail to mention that your Coins-E "warning" is a referral link to Bter instead of linking to this thread which would have been a lot more beneficial. I too, see which category you stand in .

Damn your right, I screwed that up, changing it now and speaking of nobl the price is dropping time to stock up. check out the thread they just dropped 5k on some water project.

And crying all day on IRC is not going to warn a N00b about anything they don't even know what IRC is.

I don't cry all day, I joke about it actually. Getting into crypto is a risk in itself . All good we just have a difference in beliefs .

Anyway, good news, my BTC came in after about 22 hours. Bad thing is my GLC is still stuck there. Don't think I'll ever use Coins-E again once all my coins are out of them.

Well buy some Nobl, fast! It's #2 on coinwarz right now so it's gonna move today. Just a heads-up. your money.

Sells on CoinEX and Coinmarket.

I didn't know that Coins-e was a dirty site, my 60 franko (60000 doge) is now in limbo.

/sigh

I hope to doge they didn't rob me

Just wanted to say thanks for making and keeping this thread updated.  Was considering moving some coins into Coins-e until I read this thread.  Some times there are scam threads for exchanges that are really just edge cases but it sounds like Coins-e is just out to scam or is negligent.  Anyways definitely will avoid, thanks.

Nice to see someone has been saved from this nightmare of a site.

Withdrew 2BTCs from COINS-E to Coinedup on 13 Feb. Now over 20 days later the BTCs have dissapeared from my Coins-e account, withdraw confirmed by email, not showing on blockchain and after numerous email, support tickets and tweets, silence from coins-e!!!! What kind of service is this??? Why do they even bother having a support 'fresh desk' I want my 2 BTCs! this is getting fuckin rediculous!!!!!!

I sent some DRK yesterday morning. It looks like they took the funds out but my deposit isn't showing, I can't even check the status on their site. Here's the transaction:

I've found quite a few posts about them randomly scamming. I'm surprised people aren't warned every time their name is mentioned on a forum.

Lost cause, read this thread.

Well i still have not got my bitcoin back, no answer ever. They can manage to send a tweet no probs when they list another coin but cant answer a ticket.

This guy has got something to do with coins-e https://twitter.com/SaifAltimimi btw.

[AJ99]

waiting over a month on withdrawals, they are a scam site, they won't respond to support ticket, they MUST be stopped, calling all hackers

Based in Canada, I heard they don't speak English on coins-e but this says he runs it

been waiting months for my withdrawl request to be processed, multiple emails sent to support, but they have been silent all this time.  i'm not sure if there was even a change in management or if that was a story cooked to get people back after all the scam accusations last year

btc withdrawals still work, so if you have some bitcoin there, might be a good idea to get them out.  its seems too much to expect support to help you when their hot wallet runs empty/decide to stick a coin in maintenance for months and no updates.  i had some btc left in there and was able to withdraw it all immediately, but my DGC is still trapped

Hey guys,

Saif Altimimi here. I'm not the owner of Coins-e - I don't actually have much access to the backend. I was involved as a potential investor/acquirer as the owner was interested in off loading it. I'm still doing due diligence on the business and of course this is a serious concern. I have taken a look briefly at the business and funds do not seem to be missing... the company right now seriously lacks dev resources and part of my involvement was to assist with this. I've been getting a flood of tweets - if you want to contact the real owner you can tweet him here. He's based in ottawa and working on the Bitaccess ATMs.

You can keep tweeting me but there really is nothing I can do.. I've forwarded all your concerns to Vignesh and am waiting a reply. I will keep you guys notified on the status but there is no need to worry in regards to missing funds - coins-e does not operate on a fractional reserve and all user funds are still deposited (to my limited knowledge).

Who runs the official twitter account?

Still waiting on a deposit of 163.62255489 NAN to post...sent it over 4 days ago, filed a ticket 3 days ago.  It's not a huge sum (was to be part of an experiment in arbitrage), but it doesn't inspire confidence.

Did you send it from cryptsy?

DO NOT TRUST COINS-E!!!! I still have not heard a word from them on my missing 2 BTCs!! Opened 5 support tickets with all the information! It seems they sent the 2 btcs to a different address to the 1 i gave them and that is in the confirmation email. All is clearly visible in the Blockchain!! What a way to run an exchange!! They are looking more and more like outright scammers by the day!!!
