BTER's SSL cert has expired.. very professional. Roll Eyes

Saw that too. Had to chuckle. How does this even happen?

I'm just speculating but they could have bought it from a non-authorized vendor for a fraction of what it's normally sold. Those vendors don't stay around for too long.

that might be. They don't have a trusted certificate provider and don't provide identification information

Perhaps they couldn't afford the new one after the hack Wink

Sorry that's probably a bit mean when they are obviously trying to reimburse everyone.

I love dark humor Wink

The thing is, that they should not run into problems like that, not after what happend. Everything they do should be double and tripple checked. And their security should be audited twice a month atleast.

this sucks though i wish someone can track and go after those bitcoins ..

Welp, you can't expect everybody to be perfect, money corrupts people. Some are in it for the quick profit. Everyone is tempted when he sees an opportunity to reach that profit quick, some will take it to far. You can't the entirety of the FIAT users to be nice people as well. Same thing goes for bitcoin. Sad thing with bitcoin tho, is that transactions are irreversible and there are little things even law enforcement can do.

Then I will not keep my coin for more than 15 min. on an exchange, because I don't trust anyone on the internet. I only trust my personal wallet, and I know how to create an offline cold storage and I hope now bter.com will be more "quiet" with the bitcoins of others.

That's a good way to treat exchanges. They don't deserve to hold you bitcoin. Most of them don't even enclose if they're going to use it to practise fractional reserve (See Mt.Gox). Offline storage is good and secure.

They fixed it now, but I hoped for a smooth running service without glitches after the hack. Glitches are not going to restore the confidence they need in their service.

Have all coins been re-enabled? I've tried to deposit CDC and RED but neither are showing. A CDC withdraw from bter succeeded, so the coin is definitely up and running, but for some reason deposits are not being credited.

I can't see anything obvious in their twitter feed. Asking here before I bother support. Sorry if it's been mentioned before.

edit: a test withdraw for RED also works. So withdraws work, but deposits don't.

bter.com certificate expired, or it is my browser problem?

The certifitate is expired one days ago, as I have read here : https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=www.bter.com

Thanks, I was hoping it was a problem with my browser. This really sucks after the hack. I'm frightened to even access the site without SSL protection and I doubt they will wake up and fix it until another five hours when it's morning in China.

lakebtc, kraken, bitstamp, I suggest this three exchanges which is enough to meet everyone's needs.

only lakebtc has not hacked yet.
just trading btc/usd on lakebtc, thst's a good choice

I wonder if hackers could ever despise the volume of LakeBTC? Roll Eyes

LakeBTC opened later than kraken, or bitstamp. The hackers have had less time to target it. They just hacked allcrypt for 42 Bitcoins, so LakeBTC is still a target because its higher volume than that.

I'm going to assume that were an inside job, any exchanges take the security as a game?

I think that in this case was only an inside job (read the previous pages, we have already discussed about this question) because it is impossible to hack an offline wallet (with a remote hack attack).
