Topic: [BTC-TC] Virtual Community Exchange [CLOSED] - page 6. (Read 316328 times)

Write a book and start going on a lecture tour. People will buy the book, and I will buy you a beer when your tour puts you in Texas.

We may be a few months (or more) away from me being able to share details unfortunately.  I will definitely do so as soon as I am able.

I have come to pay my respects to a great trading exchange
RIP Btct We knew you well

Now that btct is officially shut down and we are in November can you tell us the details as to why you had to close the exchange I know there are a lot of unknowns as you mentioned on the Sept 28 post and your post about blocking US users who use the code, but until it is officially winded down you said some points could not be mentioned. Can you mention any of it now.


And
Unless the code is modified to conform with legal requirements of the United States Government, (probably not currently possible, but for instance, if you made up your own currency instead of using an established cryptocurrency it might be legal) any purchaser of the code will have to agree to block US citizens from any site utilizing the code

Re-syncing or "time correction" solved my gAuth issue as well. Thank for the insight on the matter.
Cheers...

Yup, we'll pull the ASICMINER-PM shares from your account when the transfer is confirmed with Friedcat.

We'll also withdraw remaining balances to the public BTC address on file for each account.

Cheers.

Hi Burnside,
I have set my public withdrawal address here:  https://btct.co/account?tab=tab2.

Will I get a verification once my shares are succesfully transfered to friedcat?


Also I still have some BTC on my account that I would like to transfer to my mtgox account. Only my withrawall adress is locked to some old adress I don't use anymore. Will the leftover bitcoins be transfered to the my public withdrawal address here:  https://btct.co/account?tab=tab2 or do I have to send a request to unlock the withrawal adress and manually transfer them?

Clock skew is the most common source of issues with gAuth.  Make sure your device's time is sync'd with global atomic clocks.

Cheers.

I repeatedly recieve a denied google auth message ftom btc.tc despite having th same code as before. I tecieve the same denial from ltcglobal. Hoe am I supposed to log in??

Yes, I will process withdrawals of everything I can post-shutdown.  Our gradual wind-down has been very successful in giving people time to get in and set their emergency addresses, etc.  I don't think there is going to be much of anything left, which to me is pretty awesome.

If you haven't set your public btc address yet, please do so ASAP:  https://btct.co/account?tab=tab2



Some bids came in as ranges, eg, "xx BTC to xxx BTC".  I'm trying to figure out still where those bids are going to settle.  Efforts have been somewhat hampered with everything else going on.


That is correct, as long as you get in in time to set your public withdrawal address here:  https://btct.co/account?tab=tab2

Also related to the ASICMINER-PT, the third batch was sent yesterday.  Things with the transfers have been smooth for the most part, with a couple of issues related to users who had more than one account sharing the same public withdrawal address.  Something in Friedcat's import script was only importing one record when there were two or more for the same address.  If you fall into this category, you might double-check your divs to make sure everything properly adds up.


It is entirely possible that something has happened.  He has been reliable in the past.  I can't really speculate as to what that might be though.

The site is still sending asset holder lists at regular intervals, so he has about 20 copies of what he'd need to script simple direct payouts. 


Cheers.

The honorable creativex from BASIC-MINING disappeared after the shutdown notice, but his miners (which are probably in another locaction) are still mining.

Is there any chance, that something similar happened to him as to you and there is a valid (and probably not very nice) reason behind this, burnside? He's from the US, too.

Good idea.

Who bought the code?

Makes perfect sense.

I, and probably others, have a few bit pennies left there, with some small dividends continuing to come in.  My thought is to leave them there post-shutdown for a final accounting, in the hopes that you will return these balances to our public addresses once all the dust (transaction volume) has settled.  Is this a good approach for finishing the wind-down for these small balances?

Special thanks Burnside for your diligence and hard work on that matter!

Thanks a lot for your quick response. I'm reading right now ( here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3269476 ) that even if I'm to late my shares will still be transfered to friedcat when the site is down? Is this correct?

Right, but I need a newer bitcoind to take advantage of it.  We're running a custom patched version that is a few months out of date.  I'll tackle an upgrade post-shutdown so I can process the final withdrawals.

Only mentioning... the network only enforces a min-fee of 0.0001BTC as the smallest fee for a transaction.

Sorry about that, I'm definitely behind on PM's.

Right, and we'll use it as such, but there are a lot of accounts unfortunately that have not set it. 

Escrow really isn't an option unfortunately unless it's someone approved by the powers that be and usually those someones cost a significant amount of money.  (and in this case, know nothing about bitcoin.)

I thought the public withdrawal address is exactly for the purpose of returning remaining coins (besides identifcation).

In theory: how would a user - after BTCT goes dark - authenticate himself and claim his coins, assuming he didn't set his public withdrawal address? I have no idea, but if you do, maybe someone could act as escrow to hold the remaining coins.
