Watch out for Cryptopia!!!!
I have traded many times at different exchanges but at Cryptopia: now no credit 3 times in a row.
They steal your money!
They do not credit your account and do NOT respond at Twitter or email.


It's seems not possible because in the past cryptopia was a good exchange for me especially during electromeum reign. So I hope you have enough proof to back up your claims

Cryptopia is a good place to exchange so far, I know, and why do you experience fraud on cryptopia exchanges? Have you checked the internet connection or checked the address before deposit / withdrawl? accuracy in trading on exchanges is very necessary.

This is my own personal observation and opinion.

People think all exchanges are created equal and do the same things. They are not.

https://www.blockchaintransparency.org/reports/

That's why everyone embraced binance so much.
The exchange itself was built on a much more advanced stack and doesn't even bother with fiat.
That's why it runs so smoothly.

Binance is an exceptional platform with 382 markets and the lead in the value of volume traded. They are a relative newcomer and had a lot of funds to start their platform with in comparison to some of the other exchanges. It now turns over $900 million daily.
Their ICO raised a lot of funds and they were able to take advantage of the 2017 crypto boom.

But try getting an new coin listed on Binance....

Cryptopia is not a scam.
They just have outdated servers that constantly cause coins to not be credited properly.
This has been a problem with all of the older exchanges or exchanges that deal with fiat.

Cryptopia has 697 coin markets and turns over $4 million daily. In early 2017 they were run by 2-3 part time staff and volunteers. Now they employ a team of over 100 staff. During the peak of December 2017 / January 2018 their platform was struggling with the sheer demand from the massive increase in users - as a result they trained more staff, set up a UK office, improved their back-end software, changed their management structure and made numerous other improvements.

After taking advantage of the 2017/2018 crypto boom they upgraded a lot of their infrastructure and as they say - the proof will be in the pudding.

The coins not being credited are not due to outdated servers - the primary issue is with the coin wallet code - code developed by the coins themselves.
The coins that cause issues are generally the same coins due to outdated leveldb libraries being used and other issues due to the coins being cloned from outdated source code. Why are there hardly any issues with BTC, LTC and Doge that have the most volume ? Because the wallet code is better.

Running a personal wallet with a few hundred transactions is not the same as running an exchange wallet on an enterprise scale with hundreds of transactions hourly or daily. It results in dust issues and issues with the wallet code not coping with the number of stored transactions. Resulting in slow syncing and even wallets not wanting to fully sync at all.

Actually, almost all of the big name exchanges are fading into existence.
Poloniex, kraken, Cryptopia, hitbtc, etc. just can't keep up.
In order for them to update their exchange, they would literally have to shut down all trading and take weeks to a month to upgrade everything.
Yeah, I don't see them doing that.

A lot of the large exchanges have concentrated on becoming legitimate trading platforms in the eyes of the authorities of the countries that they reside in.
Crypto is still in the infancy of the growth and regulation. Platform security, Hot wallet strategies, Government regulation, Anti Money Laundering rules and Taxation issues are all eventually going to catch up with exchanges that don't take it seriously.

First, you put your thread on a wrong place, it should be placed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

Second, which one coins you mean ? have you deposit your coin to the right address?

Third, I don't believe what have you said, I never had a problem with Cryptopia since the first time I used.

Fourth, If their support NOT responds to you at Twitter or email, maybe you are trying to contact them too much. and then cryptopia support thinks you are a spammer, so they don't want to respond to you...

I can't believe this, it is old exchange, i am traiding there for two years and didn't have any problems. May be you can give us some proofs?
I have also used cryptopia for a very long time and have not had any problems. Sometimes the transaction processing is slow But everything is fine after that. I think that guy does not lose money, he just panic when the balance in the account disappears when the exchange problems

Good warning to others though, but maybe you can investigate any further to make your claims really true because there are really times that cryptomarket are going into a tough situation when they have technical problems and all other reasons that they could not even announce early.

I think you did something wrong , because I have no issues with Cryptopia . It's an old exchange with good reputation and I think they are fair with their users . Did you contact with their support about your issue ? What was their answer ?

I had to trade at the different exchanges including on Cryptopia too. No problems at me arose. The friend uses still and too everything is all right too. You can open a problem which at you appeared with this exchange that all could understand in what business that occurred. Because from your words nothing is clear.

Like not a bad exchange, for small trades. Sometimes there are tokens that do not appear on other exchanges. In any case, this is not the top market, which means there is no point in keeping big deposits there

I have been trading in cryptopia and all I can say is it's good aside from transaction fees. May its good for you to provide proof on your claim that cryptopia is a scam. Also, try to see if you internet connection is stable when you are trading to avoid delays on on your trades.

Hi. I don't agree with you. I've been trading on this exchange for 1 year and always all my transactions were without any troubles. Maybe you did something wrong. I recommend you read rules of this exchange first of all.

Maybe you jumped into conclusion and didn't chill a lil more. If cryptopia is scam I think alot of campaign would be against the exchange right now and people won't be trading on it or using the exchange. Try contacting support first and wait for the outcome.

I traded some of my altcoins in cryptopia with no problems at all and i still have many tokens out there, i don't think so that they are scam, sometimes people will react on their own failures, prove your issues first.
