I lost about 1000$ in airdrops due to coins hijacked. I don't know if anything can be done to recover the loss from these gangsters. Need more people to gather together and perhaps file a class action.

I am in no way standing up for them due to 3 recent withdrawals not getting to my wallets, but they just posted:

"We've noticed an increase in the number of FAKE Cryptopia accounts on Twitter claiming to be giving away free cryptocurrency.
We would never ask our users to transfer funds to participate in a promotion!

I am still out of $4000 even if Cryptopia cancel my withdraw.

Cryptopia shouldn't even be in the business. Not even a formal apology to the people who are affected. People lost opportunities or even lost money because they can't seem to run an exchange.

Here I am still waiting over a month for my coins. No support.

Man that's harsh how'd it happen you lost 4k?

BTX and Onions got canceled. Now, how to get the money out of this shitexchange? Tried again with the Onions, processing again it says. But the BTX are worth way more, may exchange to BTC first, or which coin is possible to withdraw now?

Onions withdrawal just went through, will try BTX next.
BTX rescued as well.

Never again!

My coins got from "Processing" to Cancelled after 1 month +, now I withdrew them in 1 minute.

I guess they are more incompetent then scammers.

They may not be a scam, I believe they are insolvent and simply try to stay in the game as long as they can in the hope crypto recovers till then.

I'd find it more likely that they are stretched and have not upscaled staff and resources sufficiently to respond to demand.

I mean, how can they be insolvent when they charge altcoins $200,000 for a listing: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@hassy/exchanges-are-charging-altcoins-over-usd200-000-per-listing

Cryptopia charge arm and a leg yet still incompetent. People out of their money for weeks and months. No support no coins but they sure love money don't they even other people's money.

They have people to post in forums like here, they maintain a FB group. But they have no people to answer simple support tickets that would take not more than 3 mins each?

I say they speculated with customer funds and got burnt when crypto crashed. Now they try to recover somehow, by holding funds hostage, staking them, take the airdrops and try to stay alive until crypto recovers. So I say they are insolvent now. 200k are peanuts if you have millions of $$$ on demand.

Cryptopia make money on fees not from hardforks.

Or staking?

My withdraw is being processed since 21hrs....

I´ll never use cryptopia again, does not seem reliable to me

I've been waiting 24 days. Cryptopia is joke exchange.

Nowdays after every weeks we are hearing some or other exchange is proving out to be a troublemakers for its traders or investors either a delay in withdrawals happening or deposits not getting confirmed etc. Kindly request everybody to only trade with known and reputed exchanges which is being exists for some months or years if possible . This will help you to greater extent to avoid such problems going forward.

It's because Cryptopia is a scam or at very least incompetent exchange.

People had losses due do cryptopia holding their funds. Either with airdrops dividends and or their coins prices going down while cryptopia is holding on to them.

People should think twice before using this exchange. No coin is worth your losses grief and stress over cryptopia have done to their customers.

But finally it was resolved. I want to wish everyone patience, it all should work out.

Do you know why you had to wait that long? It's because they didn't had the funds to credit you, which they managed to accumulate months later. Everywhere you see people complain about the same issues, which clearly shows that while Cryptopia might not yet be a scam by default, they definitely are somewhat cheating and insolvent to the core. In other words, make sure that you avoid this exchange, because when they at some point will go down entirely, you'll blame yourself for not having left that exchange when you still had the chance to do so. However, you state that your deposit issue has been worked out, now my question is whether or not you have tried to withdraw your funds already?

My withdraw is being processed since 29 days .

Cryptopia is experiencing heavy load with support tickets. I had a problem with deposit in the beginning of January and filed a ticket the same day. I got an automated responce a month after that, then the real responce in another 2 weeks. Finally, my problem was resolved in a bit less than 2 months time. The amount was quite solid, so I was very nervous. But finally it was resolved. I wish everyone patience, it all should work out.

Just bought a good bunch of BTX using bit-z, instant withdraw in 5 seconds to my wallet!

The cryptopia order is still processing, almost a month soon.

Later Edit: First withdraw was instant, then I bought some more and the withdraw order is "Waiting" on bit-z as well for almost 24 hours.

I know I'm not alone here!! I know there are many of you who are in a similar situation! So I propose the following:

1) We will all file a report with New Zeland Financial Dispute Resolution www.fdr.org.nz ( we can use common template with private details filled in)

2) If FDR filing is no help and Cryptopia is still sleeping through this problem, we will file a legal action against Cryptopia to ask for compensation and to pay for our legal fees. I believe that at least I can show enough negligence to have a strong case against Cryptopia! And I'm sure many of you are in similar situation! This is the last resort to wake them up, and I hope we do not need to do this!!

The purpose of all this is to force Cryptopia to wake up and face the reality!!
Their client support is terrible and customers are suffering and angry - it is time for Cryptopia to wake up or get out of the sandbox!
