this sucks though i wish someone can track and go after those bitcoins ..

Welp, you can't expect everybody to be perfect, money corrupts people. Some are in it for the quick profit. Everyone is tempted when he sees an opportunity to reach that profit quick, some will take it to far. You can't the entirety of the FIAT users to be nice people as well. Same thing goes for bitcoin. Sad thing with bitcoin tho, is that transactions are irreversible and there are little things even law enforcement can do.

They fixed it now, but I hoped for a smooth running service without glitches after the hack. Glitches are not going to restore the confidence they need in their service.

Then I will not keep my coin for more than 15 min. on an exchange, because I don't trust anyone on the internet. I only trust my personal wallet, and I know how to create an offline cold storage and I hope now bter.com will be more "quiet" with the bitcoins of others.

That's a good way to treat exchanges. They don't deserve to hold you bitcoin. Most of them don't even enclose if they're going to use it to practise fractional reserve (See Mt.Gox). Offline storage is good and secure.

Saw that too. Had to chuckle. How does this even happen?

Perhaps they couldn't afford the new one after the hack Sorry that's probably a bit mean when they are obviously trying to reimburse everyone.

I love dark humor

The thing is, that they should not run into problems like that, not after what happend. Everything they do should be double and tripple checked. And their security should be audited twice a month atleast.

I'm just speculating but they could have bought it from a non-authorized vendor for a fraction of what it's normally sold. Those vendors don't stay around for too long.

that might be. They don't have a trusted certificate provider and don't provide identification information

It's just an expired SSL cert every certificate has an expiration date (not a good thing, but might happen sometimes when you are lazy or don't care about security like in BTERs case)..

"a non-authorized vendor" is not a problem, you will still get the error msg, your browser/windows has a list of verified ssl vendors and if the sites ssl is not from one of them then you will get that message.

Why woudln't a big company like BTER buy a authorized SSL cert?

The trades are almost frozen now, trading activity is next to nothing (though withdrawals and deposits are working like a charm). I'm gradually moving my coins elsewhere, right now it is sheer waste of time and opportunity to sit at bter.

I would not hold coins there either. Just too risky after what happend. And there is no upside, as most markets exist on other exchanges too.

News about bter, I want to know what is really happened that day. If they will not reply to my numerous email I will find the "reply" only with my knowledge.
Bter shame on you.

Anyone knows if theres an ongoing investigation ?

I don't think they are under investigation by the chinese police, they will never go in the jail (trust me) like karpeless.

We just can't expect what will happen on this exchange. I personally even couldn't expect they could reopen the exchange for trading after the serious hack.

I just know that trading is risky there now. Am just moving money elsewhere.

I sent some Mastercoins to BTER a week ago and still didn't get balance..
Getting some lame excuses from them..
Nothing changed, their amateur service is still the same, and it's not going to be better since they have no funds to pay for it.
