I'm still unable to access my Mintpal account. I've sent in a ticket over 24 hours ago asking them to disable the broken two factor but haven't received a response as of yet.
Just sent them another email. I really feel like I'm about to be Goxxed.
Funny thing is, if you reset your password, it lets you temporarily bypass the two factor authentication accessing your account but you are still unable to turn it off.
As of now, I have my funds being held in their exchange with no means of withdrawing them. I should of taken everything off that exchange when I had the chance...
Same issue. I followed up again saying it has been 3 days and that this is ridiculous. I have traded enough in BTC volume in the past 7 months that my account shouldn't continue to be locked. Having said that, I was vulgar and basically told them their exchange is a fucking scam. I fortunately don't have any coins on there though. I took the last of what I had a few hours before they took their site offline for the V2 upgrade. No amount of free fees will bring me back there. |

I took the last of what I had a few hours before they took their site offline for the V2 upgrade. No amount of free fees will bring me back there. I have several btc tied up in Mintpal including several btc in dark. They released v2 absolutely too well in advance of it ACTUALLY being prepared for release. They are still readding BASIC features day by day. This is amateur hour and I'm extremely disappointed as I will be honest, while volume hasn't been there, mintpal was my favorite exchange. Now? Certain coins, inaccessible. I've watched some investments fall without recourse. No access to certain alts, no idea if they are still there. In fairness, most all of the coins that I had on there prior to the upgrade are still there. My concern is obvious, I am genuinely concerned that if I withdraw anything, it's not going to work. I am therefore going to be patient, wait, hope they get it together and try to liquidate to btc, withdrawing in small amounts if it comes down to it. If they get it together, I would love to continue to use the exchange (never had an intention to stop using them), but I am definitely displeased with this amateurish handling of an overhaul. They should absolutely NEVER have attempted to roll out a brand new UI etc. when you have people's money at stake unless they were absolutely ready. It's really quite unbelievable. All this said, no fees for the remainder of the year.. I do see the basic exhancements and needs getting updated day by day by day... hopefully soon I'll have access to all of my coins and things will get back to normal. I can see that happening and that's what I anticipate. I don't think they're taking people's money, I just think they've handled the upgrade like a second-rate exchange and that has caused me to lose some confidence in an exchange that I otherwise loved. |

In nearest future we will see DRK’s price's jumps with every news about «Mt.goxs»-scams-hacks-… Because «black money» need to be "cleaned" - and DarkCoin is the best tool for it at the moment.  |

I have no doubts people are pulling coins but that second spot still hold about the same amount of coins it has historically, albeit at a different address. |

*********** Amber Alert ************ I've come to the conclusion that the world economy actually exists to support the banking system and in that respect, the number one enemy is deflation. Forget the myriad of economic indicators and just look at it this way: Money can only be produced by issuing an equivalent amount of debt. For that debt to be considered an "asset" it has to be serviced, but the money to service the existing debt can't come from the existing money base, it needs to be new money (and associated new debt) - so there in a nutshell is the reason why central banks are given a "policy target" of keeping inflation at around 2%. We can't have deflation at any cost because it will lead to defaults. Nothing to do with people not being prudent - simply a question of not enough money in the system to cover the amount of global debt, like a jumper that you put on when it was dry and then you jump in a pool, it shrinks and tears. But look what's happening - after 3 years, the fed is winding up QE. Mr Draghi said he wasn't "too keen on it" and now ? Stocks are red every day, oil is crashing and even metals are declining. That's that wet jumper getting tighter and (central) banks are going to have to do something about it before it tears. China's not growing, Japan's not growing, Europe's not growing and the US isn't growing so the commercial banking sector has not been able to facilitate "transmission" of the last 4 years' monetary policy by translating all that new money into economic activity. Things are in a prickhairyarse state. There's also the threat to Western economies of the new BRICS system of gold based finance. That might force them to raise interest rates as well which will throw a raft of nations back under the bus known as the "European Sovereign Debt crisis". Basically we're f*ckd. Thats what I think. They never solved the 2008 financial crisis - just moved it from one coat peg to another. There are 3 coat pegs: 1-private sector debt, 2-soveregin debt, 3-monetisation by central banks. We're currently at stage 3 in Japan and US and stage 2 in Europe and the UK. The only light on the horizon I can see is Bitcoin and its associated flotilla of alt coins. That has still got such a huge capacity for growth and capitalisation that when the crisis comes - if we're lucky - it might just have enough track record, confidence and infrastructure under its belt for it to be considered a "safe haven" (in relative terms at least). That's why it's so important for Darkcoin to double down on technical development, consolidation and marketing. It needs to bee seen as a ROCK SOLID complimentary asset to Bitcoin. Its 2 strengths in this regard are: [1] - its anonymity properties (which Bitcoin doesn't have) [2] - its 2-tier architecture (which its competitors don't have) The two tier architecture is important because tier-1 of that architecture is basically Bitcoin - it is Darkcoin's commercial facing technical interface. Tier-2 is the masternode network which supports the anonymity properties. I'm not saying this as a "fanboy" by I'm sorry, Darkcoin's competitors are screwed - and I've been in them all. I've got more CLOAK, XMR, XDM, you name it than I ever had DRK but they've got too little too late plus they've picked the wrong design by opting for an integrated architecture. They wouldn't have if Bitcoin had not been able to fend off the army of competitors it's had over the last year, but it has and that changes the speculative landscape from a year ago. Time is running out and as far as 1st generation Bitcoin cryptocurrencies go (as opposed to Bitshares & co) Darkcoin is IT or nothing. So if Evan needs people to test stuff or more masternodes on testnet or whatever, we better get supply them because the Earth-to-Mars launch window is approaching and there's only be one shot at it. Do stuff: design work, technical work, promotion, write better explanations of Darkcoin, exchanges, economic commentaries - anything. This thread has had some amazing contributions in all these fields lately but now is the time to consolidate and grow all these to get to the next stage in the game ! (IMHO of course ) Great post! Lets build the Darkness! |

The Mintpal thing is quite a thing.
You can't even sort the columns on the main page anymore - the old one let you sort by any priority, e.g. volume, market %change etc.
They seem to have been in a major rush. All the rules of system implementation have been broken - go from less to more functionality, don't piss the customer off, test for a long period with a frozen feature set, plan fallbacks for implementation malfunctions, communicate, declare roadmap.
The original Mintpal to me was an example of how a project like this should be deployed. From day 1 (as far as I can remember) it was fast, reliable, had great usability etc. Then they moved forward in very small increments and the exchange gradually grew in volume and status, blowing past a load of competitors who had been in the business a lot longer
This is a disaster. It's on the level of Cryptorush or worse (at least that guy tried and his exchange generally worked) - maybe they won't loose coins but they're sure going to loose a ton of customers. It might not have been so bad if they'd delivered one or the other of:
a) - the old feature set but stable
b) - the new feature set with some rough edges
But it's got neither. The feature set is sh*t and the reliability is sh*t.
Not only that but the fact that they didn't email everybody and make a MAJOR advance splash about the fact that the site was going down should be a massive red flag. Basically they thought they could get away with it on a 24 hour swap-over and people would barely notice, being up and running the next day trading happily.
Look how far this is from even their own expectations - never mind the customer's, most of whom didn't even know anything was going to happen to the site. They were even advertising for a skin designer 1 day after the changeover cos they had to ditch their UI.
These guys have blown it big time.
Forget "advanced feature sets" like stop loss orders, Fiat gateways and the rest - it's not coming anytime soon. They'll be lucky if they can stop their own losses. Mintpal was a bloody good exchange IMO. It had grown to be one of the pillars of the cryptocurrency infrastructure - a clean, secure, reliable clearing house for efficient trading. The feeds to Bitcoinwisdom were great and that had helped hugely turn Mintpal into one of the most respected market indicators for analysts.
Now it's simply had all four legs kicked out from the table and it's lying in tatters.
I can't believe anybody could have taken such a well developed part of the cryptocurrency infrastructure and trashed it so comprehensively.
What a waste.

Why was there a need for Mintpal V2 anyway? So Mintpal could sell what they created to a different company hoping to inherit the profits of the original Mintpal operators. |

Mintpal was a tool for insider trading and the botrape of its customers. Like all the other unregulated centralised exchanges. Banditry with a pretty UI is still banditry. Good riddance.
p2p exchanges will dominate within 12 months, the current pack of crooks will not be missed.

(I have a decent amount of capital on there) Still not very happy at all about this. I wasn't aware of the migration and got locked with some DRK inside (I don't trade, so I wasn't following their updates). I had placed the coins there while putting some order in my wallets and a couple days ago I started fearing for them. It wasn't a big amount, but still quite pissed off. I had 2FA, but today I logged in without Mintpal asking for the second factor. I've withdrawn all my funds and I haven't had any problem. It took around 10 min, which I think is about what it used to take. No way I'm going back in a while. Good luck with your coins!! |
