Hallo Brian,

Bitmit is shutting down its doors in 2-3 weeks. Please complete your orders and withdraw your funds ASAP!

Viele Grüße,

dein Bitmit Team

bitmit.net

Is bitmit closing now going to become an annual event? It was going to close last year about the same time too.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitmit-is-closing-119334

I guess soon we will find out that is it up for auction, the auction has been cancelled, we have figured a solution, it isn't really closing, it is business as usual, what are you complaining about?

I look forward to the bitmit closing scare campaigns in October/November 2014!

Or could it be that it really is closing down this time? I don't know what to believe any more, they lost all credibility last year.

I haven't been able to withdraw because no emails are coming through. Have you tried to withdraw yet?

SAME PROBLEM.

I have a wallet balance but I am unable to get it out of BITMIT because they never send the confirmation email!  

WTF!

Isn't there a member here that runs bitmit?

EDIT:

Just tried again for the 3rd time in 3 days, AND IT WORKED!  Got the email.

My vote:  Get your coins out NOW while the site still (mostly) works!

I would like to take over Bitmit and continue its operation.  I have an engineering team and background in e-commerce and web development.    Finding a good fit will be the key to keep Bitmit growing.

yeah is it for sale?

I do not understand this step of Bitmit. For me this is completely nonsense. If they want to sell than they should keep the Bitmit working so they could sell it for better money.
They changed the servers recently. They made many software improvements a few days ago. Why are they going to lose everything?

I'm not sure why can't they simply sell the site? why announce a shutdown, and then says "if you are interested in buying the site contact us"? this has already destroyed much value in the site.
Probably because that's what was stated in the national security letter.

Seriously? The only major Bitcoin-only marketplace is closing?
These days it sucks being a Bitcoin market place.

That seriously sucks. Looks like someone will have to come up with a replacement.

I've been working on a similar service.

www.bitcoin247sales.com

Launched last week.

Expanding the website will be my one and only project for the following months. So any feedback, suggestions or requests are more than welcome.

more details can be found here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitcoin247salescom-marketplace-cheapest-around-316750 and ofcourse at the website itself.

Okay seriously, why are they trying to close?

Maybe they have no intention of closing. They just want to cash in with whoever wants to take over.
