MINTPAL - You still believe in their story?

Seriously, what could happen in a database migration that takes so long.
The statements given sound like Ernie and Bert are working on it.
It smells worse by the minute.

This is absolutely the biggest fail of a website relaunch I have ever seen...

Not to mention they hold funds of users for over 5 days already...

rumour has it that moolah caused the btc dump, and is buying back since $285 Roll Eyes

I challenge Moolah to share ALL btc wallet addresses with us so we can check the movement of these btc Roll Eyes

This is what happens in an unregulated market. Could you imagine real stock exchanges pulling stuff like this?

WTF happened? Have they lost our coins on there? Can anyone log in right now?

I could imagine a lot of things. But such a heist would trigger a SEC swat team deployment immediately.

Its obvious, isn't it?
I really wonder why there isn't more outrage.
If I had any dough parked over there, I'd flip the fuck out.

I cannot withdraw. My bitcoins, dogecoins and litecoin withdrawals all say "Awaiting Confirmation".... when mintpal reopened, I requested all my coins to be withdrawn, but withdrawal status "Awaiting Confirmation" has not changed. Wth is going on here.

Thankfully, I withdrew right before Mintpal went down.

I could definitely imagine how it feels like to have your $ stuck on the exchange, god that sucks.

Dear lord! Sounds like another Mt.gox thing going on. Thank god I withdrew all my currencies from MintPal last month. Otherwise I'd be out about $120 in LTC and $60 in BTC at today's prices. Not a lot, but still more than I'd care to lose.

Personally I never keep much on an exchange, just deposit coins I want to sell or trade for BTC then withdraw the BTC as soon as a sell occurs. The rest I keep in USB wallets that I only connect to a PC when I want to update the chain or move coins around. I gripe about the tx fees I'm losing doing this, but it's not as bad as losing all my coins.

While I'm not a big fan of gov't regulation, I think I might like to see regulations for exchange licenses. Right now anyone can download some free open source exchange script, install some [wallet]d software and make a legit looking exchange, after a certain point shutdown and keep all the coins.

I think eventually we'll see coin insurance, more coin escrow and legal services.

That having been said, it's not like a gov't or private bank never stole the peoples fiat currencies and it's not like any of us have never lost $20 bucks in the parking lot or had our wallet picked from our back pocket.

Any type of money can be lost.

They obviously dumped loads of BTC and are slowly buying them back. On the 1st of October, just before the migration started, since there was no warning on Mintpal's website that it was about to go offline, I deposited 0.04 BTC to address 1HkiegCTHNFksNhfHxH4ffLEuq61odrCBg. The deposit went through normally (txid 9cfbf3dd042b63968480214c56d8971cf35bde55cb765976bb7f9f5e2786b68a). Now that the site is back online, my BTC balance is showing only about half that amount, 0.02056931 BTC.

Now the interesting part - look what happened to the BTC on the address I deposited to. One hour after the deposit, the whole 0.04 BTC were transferred to 2 other addresses:

https://blockchain.info/address/1HkiegCTHNFksNhfHxH4ffLEuq61odrCBg

Why the hell couldn't they migrate the address that was already associated to my account instead of moving its balance to other addresses? That looks extremely suspicious to me.

Anyone know how much moolah paid to acquire mintpal? I did not keep up with the acquisition but I have a fair amount of coins on my MP account that I'd rather withdraw and wait for things to resolve first.

There were never any publicly released information about the terms/finances of the acquisition. I too have many bitcoins in mintpal. I hope they don't screw us over like gox did.

Something is very wrong with this company.

Who is this moolah character, does anyone know his real life identity?
He should not get away with this obvious theft, his identity needs to be outed if known! The legal system will of course do nothing about it.

Over 100LTC stolen from me, grr! Angry
