https://fma.govt.nz/contact/make-a-complaint/make-a-complaint-online/#UserForm_Form any complaints about cryptopia's fraudulent activity should be directed here if you want to see justice....they swindled me out of thousands with their paccoin scam then locked my account with the rest of my funds on it when I complained on there forum.

I am glad I have withdrawn all of my coins months ago from there.
Look at the administrator language to their users (me for example)

I know exactly how you feel. I went into their discord and tried to get some clarity in their discord and the admins basically told me that the missing deposits/withdraws weren't that big of an issue. Apparently the site is "Running fine" and that the people complaining just looks like a lot because they're making a lot of noise. Completely turned me off. I don't understand how potentially thousands of dollars being up in the air right now isn't that big of a deal. Any multi-million dollar company should have absolutely no issues hiring support. ESPECIALLY when other peoples' money is at stake.

Problems still presist as withdraws appear to be selective... ie I've had BTC go out lightning quick but now have two stuck BPL withdraws.

Course it goes without saying that they cannot disable markets and coins to maintain a stable platform... that would cut into profits. Instead the end user suffers. Just another day in crypto.

I never had problems with cryptopia thus far. That being said i only withdraw or deposit altcoins almost all the time and ETH just once only a few days back.

What are new people using to buy low cap altcoins now that Cryptopia closed new registrations? I forgot to make an account. Is Bleutrade any good? Any others that people recommend?

Binance just announced they are reopening registration, but they mainly just have mid cap coins. I'm looking for those cheap high risk/high reward buys.


Coinexchange, HitBTC, and C-Cex.  Yobit has been stable but they don't have a good reputation, but people complain about all the exchanges.

Same issue. I tried to withdraw my ETH value and altough they created TX for my transaction, I cannot see it any ETH blockchain explorer. Also, there is nothing in my wallet about this transaction.

I agree with you about cryptopia's situation. I think they're turning into SCAM very fast.

I'll wait for my ticket's result. I let you know about the issue.

Apologies on the dely on my response. Just wanted to clear some stuff up;

Yes this is from personal experience - i have sent a deposit to Cryptopia on Dec 21'st, funds never showed so i put in a support ticket and i have still to this day not heard back from them. I then went into their discord channel a few days ago and they basically made it seem like it wasn't a problem at all. The staff completely blew the issue off and said it was simply "growing pains". If you take a look at their social media accounts you'll see mentions of this and no responses. Reddit is saying the same thing about this site; The only reason i used it was to purchase ETN when it first came out and it's just been hell trying to recover my funds.


Side note; i am new to these forums but i am not new to Crypto. I always lurked here but never registered so the whole "newbie" argument isn't really valid. I didn't create this account simply to flame Cryptopia - i just wanted to finally join the community.

This is slightly worrying as I still have some money left in cryptopia - should I take it out now?
You need to move them immediately from there if you still have the ability to log on your account.
I can't trust them anymore after loosing my funds after deposit and still no response from dead support.

I think everything has been fixed. cryptopia not scam. It is a great exchange in the world. They have the world's leading staff. A few days ago I had some errors. I withdraw money but not receive emails, but I was corrected soon after. I'm sure it's not scam

My withdrawals went through.

About an hour for a BCH one and about 12 hours for an ETH one.

Don't panic. Be patient.

Probably swamped right now with the boom in the crypto markets.
Wait and see is the right thing to do.

Meanwhile, we still prosper.  I'm cancelling my DOGE orders and converting them to BTC for the high gaining ones today.  Less USA taxes.  Always look on the bright side.   Grin

It's really great to read newbie accounts that say they lost withdrawals.  Probably sent their Grimcoin to their MoneyCoin address.

Straight from the horse's mouth.

From 2 employees to 50 in the space of a year.

From 30,000 users to 1,400,000.

I'm amazed it functions at all. Sit tight and see whether they can get on top of their workload.

Exactly. All exchanges are clearly overwhelmed atm.

Let's be patient and not succumb to fud.

They actually have a pretty decent customer support. The only that kills me is their fee. 0.001 BTC fee for a 0.0005 withdrawal. Where's the justice in that?

Withdraw LTC or BCC to Coinexchange and convert to paypal, or some variant of that, local BTC doesn't have LTC?

Small time exchanges. They are risky to use. Better look for another one like poloniex and bittrex. This will always happen but I am hoping the new ones after the ICO will not be the same.
Lack of support and answers will really face bigger problems and this trading site is just like that.
Poloniex seems not to answer the tickets but they are looking into it after you submit a ticket. Yes, I have experienced it once.
Bittrex closed a registration for a new users, there're not all coins at Poloniex, Binance also closed a registration. So, for many of new traders, there're no variants exept Cryptopia. And if the last one will not be working normal, there're nowhere to trade at all.
