Another exchange would not hurt BPL users, cryptoPia tends to be overloaded and has therefore issues with withdrawals (I had some Ark stuck in limbo for 6 weeks, but at least it said there was a problem), just a thought.
You're absolutely right-- the Cryptopia withdrawal issues started when crypto demand blew up during BTC's last rally. BPL isn't the only affected currency. We are exploring options with other exchanges. There should be good news coming on this.
Please DM me your Cryptopia ticket number. We are tracking these tickets on our end and applying pressure to get them solved as we can.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
