Topic: BitMarket.eu Eternal withdrawal - page 3. (Read 6651 times)
I wouldn't use a online wallet anyway, and specially not after this story.
The best market at the moment is probably bitcoin-24.com, if there were any problems they were fixed soon and I get fast responses.

BTW what is the best wallet/market online?
is blockchain.info good or do you have any trusted site?

if i can get my btc's back, i'm done with bitmarket.

For the last few months bitmarket has been operating like a bank - everything works fine until too many people decide to withdraw their money.
And still are people buying coins, want doesn't he close it?
Looking at the transaction log, yes, people are still buying coins. If people would stop using the site, he would be in deeper shit.
We now know that he has lost quite a substantial amount of BTC, but we also know that that happened a few months back.
In the meantime, he has been able to keep it running.
If they rework the site and charge a small transaction fee, over time they would be able to repay their debts, and become profitable.
Let's just hope that happens instead of simply closing the site, because that would be bad for all.
And still are people buying coins, why doesn't he close it?
The withdrawals are not automatic by "maintenance" and takes some days/weeks....
But I dont understand something... I receive the payment on 9th.... Why the other people with pending payments dont receive it too? ( example: bm2013)
Are making selective payments?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1413156
It was evident that he doing selective payments.
These things sometimes happen.
Do not think anyone can trust someone that make selective payments to maintain unsustainable pyramid. It's ridicoulus, people can still deposit and buy coins, although they can't withdraw them. Close the site completely and work things out, ffs 
Since Bitcoinica has been down for quite a while now, I think that's what he's been trying to do all along: sorting things out, but without cutting everyone off. But now he's in over his head, so hence the confession, and with it, a cry for help. It seems that there are indeed people willing to bail him out ( certain conditions apply, off course).
So let's hope they can work things out, and that bitmarket doesn't get dragged down along with Bitcoinica.
They guy made one hell of a stupid mistake, I'm not trying to justify his actions in any way.
But let's just hope the hope some solution can be worked out so that bitmarket does not have to cease to exist, that it becomes profitable, and that everyone involved can get out of this without anyone being ripped off.
Yes, Bitmarket is in some serious shit right now, but it does not have to be the end of it.
It's in debt (to it's customers), but with a good business plan it can crawl out of that pit, and repay the affected parties.
Might take some time.
Seriously hope that guy learned his lesson though ...

M4v3R, the site owner, posted an update. Not a good one I'm afraid.

I'm glad he didn't leave us all in the dark and decided to come forward with this.
I was quite shocked when I read this, but after a few hours of steaming I calmed down a bit.
He seems sincere enough that he admits his wrongdoings, and does want to fix them.
The ideas he has on how to do this are not all that bad, and I personally hope that bitmarket can survive this mishap.
Not just so that the ones affected can get their bitcoins, but also because I think Bitcoin can miss another blow to the head (even though this one would be related to the downfall of Bitcoinica ).

i live in Helsinki, Finland. The authorities here are however very inefficient and slow. Therefore I might consider also going in Germany where i still have a second household.
The problem is of course that it might take years till something happens

It's the same with me. I never had any problems with bitmarket and I found the idea of more or less directly trading with others very appealing.
In which country will you go to the police?

unfortunately the frozen coins cannot even be sold......
indeed i should not have relied on previous good experience with that site...
I will go to the police by tomorrow.

We're talking about several thousand Euros here, aren't we?
I wonder how many BTC's are frozen but i think i might go in ten thousands of Euro's here. If you see the transaction logs...
Sellers are keep selling unknowingly what is happening here. They would probably keep selling if they know, it's the only way to get rid of your bitcoins.
I don't think anybody is getting his bitcoins, some people (like me) found their way to the forums.
Imao I think we are f*cked especially because the owner of bitmarket.eu isn't answering any mails.
This is the admin, send him a PM:

disclaimer, this doesn't actually help.
As I said there must be a way to get these coins as this site is not hosted offshore (see here: http://www.dnswatch.info/dns/dnslookup?la=en&host=bitmarket.eu&type=A&submit=Resolve and here: http://www.dnswatch.info/dns/ip-location?ip=178.217.184.228&submit=Locate+IP)

i have currently 700 BTC frozen..... when this turns out to be scam i will be REALLY angry....
Hahaha. How can anyone be so reckless to leave 700 BTC at ANY exchange? I wouldn't even leave 50 Btc at MtGox or BTC-e. And even 20 Bitcoins for no longer than a few days. Sorry, but f a c e p a l m.

Many months ago I had issues withdrawing larger quantities of bitcoins (15+) and there was some bug or security lock. It would just give an error message but not show that any transfer had been initiated, so no confirms either naturally. It was possible to withdraw very tiny amounts though, 1 btc or below. A few days later everything went back to normal.
I also posted in this thread today https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitmarketeu-admin-does-not-answer-131380
So, how safe is it to use bitmarket right now? Why would the page still be full of sell offers if the problems are of a general nature? Still hoping this is an issue for some people only and not everyone.
