What a bad handling of delicate situation! No update, no word for over 2 days, nothing! I mean Jesus, there is at least 7000 BTC worth of ALTs in their wallets. That is other peoples' money and they don't write a single word for over 2 days!

You should start entertaining the possibility that they are going to keep the alts. The may be trying to sell them as we speak.

Step 1. Hack yourself.
Step 2. Announce You got hacked.
Step 3. Pay ransom or give out "bounties" to yourself
Step 4. Return hacked amount, receive ransom/bountry
Step 5. Repeat step 1 - 4

what a great post, +1000 for it,
i think so that what happened in real there. Wink

You can only do that once maybe twice. Ask yourself if it happened for the second time at Bter, would you be still using their services? Don't think so. Business is closed if it happens as a pattern.

I would wellcome such scenario.. that would means i will lose only 10% of bter's depo... but it is not usual shit coin like a nxt, selling which you will just drop price to 0 and wouldn't get good cash, this time they took btc, what for need to return anything...?

Asked them about when they let us withdraw alt coins from exchange, answer:

Dear Sir,
Sorry, no specific time is decided yet

Please kindly keep an eye on btercom for the update

Best Regards
BTER.COM

No clue what update they means since there are no single update for 3th day. And even less clue with whom and what they going to "dicide".

thats a really bad way to handle this situation from bter. Its really hard if you have coins there and dont now anything about what will happen now. Just look some times a day at their site and see always the same text..

I expected them to have communicated by now, Leaving a two day old message in place of their website is outrageous.

Wrote a letter to them with a request to update the information. Advise everyone concerned to do the same... Cool

I believe now like Mintpal they are also running and not giving any coin back to customers

I hope not, they must have over a million dollars worth of alts.

I guess they are dealing with investigatory matters but still a word to the customers wouldn't go a miss

I never heard of this website before to be total honest with you , what are they ? some kinda of Bitcoin exchange website or something ?
If that's the case how come that the Bitcoin price didn't drop , not even a little , it seems stable those last couple of days .

~ Madness

It dropped from 265 to 230 after hack if you didn't know.

The drop was due to a natural correction, though the fear helped.

......... How much more secure is my wallet at home which is running on my PC when a wallet with 7000 coins in it - presumably kept safe by smart people - gets stolen? Yes, targeting a 7000 BTC worth wallet is more lucrative than mine, but still.

I suspect it was an inside job, and the smart people who should have been keeping the cold wallet safe robbed it themselves.

it was not a true cold wallet which brings the question why it wasn't. It may have been kept a such so that when they steal it they can blame external hackers.

What makes you think, that it wasn't true cold wallet?

I though about it too and many others on the forums as well. I'd say let's wait and see what happens. We don't have to assume the worst at first.

Usually the worst is likely to be the right answer.

We are still waiting some news from them, Bter.com where are you ?

For the second day they are promising to "keep an eye on the bter.com announcement for the update"... How long, Bter, should we wait? Roll Eyes

You should open a ticket on... oh wait.. Roll Eyes

Who knows how many bitcoins does Bter have in the hot wallets, i.e. at their disposal right now? This wallet belongs to Bter (100%) and has a total balance of 130 BTC at the moment...

The balance increased to 140 BTC. It seems they are consolidating the dust from their wallets... Or run the exchange secretly! Cool

Monero - secure, private and untraceable currency.

Asked them how long - they replied they don't know yet. Asked them if BTS is affected, they ignored question. Doesn't smell good if you ask me.
