i see updated info on post 1 and i can't argue with any of it..
i have come to the same exact conclusions on them all.
and i repeat.. the first step is supporting coin posters who use anonymous persona's as a way to hide.
it leads to tons of lost money and make our scene look bad !
and the people doing it say well i don't care how bad any coin, service, exchange etc is i made <insert amount> of bitcoin off it / them.
THAT has to stop !
provide the stage and they will abuse it.
anyway i came to see about Bittrex..
i noticed the exchange was not loading but based on pages showing up i think they are switching servers etc
Fair enough but i was just there hours ago and some warning about switching hosting services etc would have been nice.
first msg page i seen was Cloudlfare error
then i seen a Microsoft Azure setup notification.
I know two guys i have talked to on IRC / chat also that started exchanges.
One we all know well.. R3wt and the other guy on IRC couple months ago was giving me links to his test site to check out.
His site was loosely based off of R3wt's code and they knew each other but best i can tell they both mean well enough.. no malicious intentions.
I forgot the name of the one guys site though lol
And R3wt's is well known around here
edit:
and i am not saying Cryptsy is bad but they have a horrible long time reputation of screwing with the site or individual coins or having problems
and not notifying the public in any way.. i have sat on IRC before supporting complainers for 2 straight weeks on a coin i despise before like 2 months back.
while mods popped by 1 time every few days trying to tell people there was no problem..
when it was clear every single person that came in ever couple minutes in IRC said, "where is my Doge deposit ?"
THIS is by no means a one time incident.. i have harped on ALL the staff there about this for almost a year.
They need a massive and severe overhaul of their communication with their customers procedure.
A Twitter feed update once a month and a Blog update ever 2 months is not going to cut it.
So lets talk about accountability 'AND' how some treat people like shit because they think they can get away with it lol
I had a deposit vanish for 12 hrs while arb'ing and i was told the coin was forked and i found no trace of it online anywhere..
i was lied to.. a million stories like that from a million people is not cool !
It is often simply market manipulation most of us believe.
Same crap from BTER i have witnessed too..
on a transfer error msg on mcxnow when i mentioned it to the boss they just called me a liar and banned me.. that was their support lol
edit2:
Bittrex seems to be back up.. down time was short it seems.
