Yeah no shit. Do you think it's normal for an exchange to directly expose customer addresses and withdrawal amounts to other customers? Maybe it is normal. Do you think it's remotely acceptable?

Of course it's acceptable. Even Bitstamp does it. If you're using Bitcoin the way you're supposed to, there's no way to link the withdrawal addresses to any meaningful information, and you don't even know which addresses are going back to the exchange.

I guess it depends on whether you consider a database of exchange user withdrawal addresses meaningful information or not.

Going back to the exchange . . . yeah ok we're talking about the guys that send out a plaintext SMTP saying "hey dude you requested coinz withdrawn to address" whenever you w/d, I had to set up a new email account because of them. It's pretty obvious they're taking 0.001 from the w/d then bundling it into a pay to many with 0.0005 relayfee yay profit.



You're not getting a database of user withdrawal addresses. You're getting possible user withdrawal addresses which you don't know which users they go to, and possible exchange addresses.

If withdrawals were free, I'd have no issue with them doing this, but since we pay for them, it's a shitty practice.

I agree this manipulation was.... No comment  Huh Delist it to it reach half price and say, finally we keep now lol...

Novacoin was also a good example also...being listed 2 days after launched on btc-e, and btc-e being bribed...

FTC can still be traded also on crypto-trade.com

Yup, BTC-E did a great job. I applaud them.

So do you go around giving high fives to kids to kick puppies in the face in real life too? Do you like to put on a little costume and pretend to be a super villain? In other words, do you like to live life as a major giant Mcdouche?

lol , dude, quite likely, the guy has a "camsluts" link in his signature

Moral of the story:
FTC is crap.

FTC is crap but that ain't the moral of the story.  The moral of the story is that practically all of the exchanges that are used to price bitcoin are shady as fuck pump & dump warehouses.

watch out.

mods have been dropping hints for weeks or more that ftc would be delisted. not surprised it went down like this. it will likely get delisted in the near future. bagholders complaining right now should have seen this coming imo....

It's a bit too easy to put the blame on RealSolid each time someone is scammed, don't you think.

"oh mtrlt scammed me of 1 BTC ! He must be RealSolid!"

If we were to listen to you, RS would be mtrlt, sunnyking, satoshi, DPR , snowden, etc...
So bring some proof next time


The only real "bad"  thing RS did is accepting 2000$ in donation to finish Microcash. Fact is he only finished the Beta , and the final product is still in stand-by. Personally i don't see that at a scam, more as a long delay.
He's been working on mcxNOW for more than 6 month now and it's a great sucess, he's millionnaire and he's redistributing a lot of wealth to user with mcxFEE and interest on deposit.

Good job, you managed to find the one exchange out there that's shadier than BTC-e!

If you bought the fees it is your fault in overestimating the market. On the other hand if you didn't I don't know what is shady about this exchange...
I don't know, maybe the fact that the owner RealSolid has been scamming the community for the better part of 2 years now under various aliases.

I have wondered for some time with the price of btc going up how safe it is to leave any amount on an exchange. the target thatis getting painted on btc-e just gets bigger to be hacked one way or another.

I have been most impressed with BTC-e technical stability, however this last event shows even if  a genuine mistake   there must be some serious procedural issues going on.

and I think this yoyo will happen again
the news is till there on site

once those last btc have gone in ftc buy orders and volume drops again, it could be reinitiated
the timeline was a month away

I think if you make a decision, either way you stick to it

don't be surprises if the decision skips back and forth again imo
