Did not know it still existed. You have to have balls to use this site, it works in on-and-off mode since a couple of years already

That's right. Though unfortunately, when you have alot of shares of a security and you can't sell it then you are at the mercy of the issuer if he wants to move to another market. If he doesn't then you are forced to use cryptostocks. And if you have enabled to get emails when a withdrawal is requested then you are fucked.

Down for me as well, looks like they're taking holidays too. Nothing from support?

There is no support. Kumala the owner does not react on anything you send him. I wonder if he will fix the missing email function for users. That brings trouble to alot of people.

So the site is back...Interesting. No warning, no update, nothing. So much respect for people who have an account there.... Smiley

Thats how kumala handled cryptostocks since a long time now. Many had emailed them about things that are rather important but no support was given. Seeing that... i would not feel well knowing a dividend for shares of mine would be paid out there. What if something goes wrong? I would not know if i could do anything about that then.

Interesting... thats good. That would allow shareholders to be informed by issuers that they NEED to set up the option that their email address shows up in the list of shareholders the issuer gets mailed daily.

Without that option the shareholder will simply not be in the list. No entry without an email, so that it would be easier to identify a shareholder that claims he is not in the list and has X shares. If it would be the case then the shareholder could be identified by knowing his exact shares. Though it isnt the case.

So at least this option can be enables so that the issuers know who is owning shares.

Still... the list is stupid. The only verification it gives is an email address. The one you registered with on cryptostocks. So when shareholders have to be identified through this then i already see issuers being fooled by scammers sending out emails with fake sender email. Through smtp.

Why didnt kumala include a bitcoin address? He could have made it mandatory to insert a bitcoin address you control and you can sign a message with. It would be so much more private than sending out email addresses. And safer.

Its a bit of luck that cryptostocks is back.

I made a withdrawal and it went through. So it looks like it wasn't so bad after all.

The information presented in the email I thought was trying to social-engineer me (which I reported a couple of days ago in this thread) seems to actually match the information on cryptostocks.com. So maybe it wasn't an attack on me after all (or, maybe the attackers were able to take over the site completely and now operate it). Who knows.

Now, how to sell the shares or receive dividends on cryptsy?

You need to contact cryptsy. If they were smart they will have the list of shareholders... at least something like that. Roll Eyes

Cryptsy should be able to let you claim your shares.

So kumala is really a person no one knows? Roll Eyes

This falling apart isn't bad luck, it's bad intentions/process. MAYBE we can say the people that lost coins in the original "hack" on his exchange was bad luck. But anyone that lost anything of value after that point in time made a bad decision by expecting him to come through.

Cryptsy were traded there, did Cryptsy bought all the shares already or were they still being traded?

They were still being traded, I believe a total of 7k to 7500 were still in circulation. Though apparently Cryptsy hasn't actually paid out for the last 3 months.

I just noticed that I received an email that looks like it's trying to social engineer me using information from Cryptostocks. So I think the site has been compromised.

Don't take things so personally. I use the royal you.

I don't know or care who he actually is, I just know that I know he "lost" a lot of coins in some other venture, so that there is no reason for anyone to continue doing business with him.

He is either too stupid or not trustworthy enough to hold coins or anything for anyone else, if I was invested I n something and they couldnt move their shares elsewhere I would have sold and got out what I could before i was left with nothing because it was obvious that this 2ould happen 3ventually.

Search for kumala and vircurex [or something] for more details, but don't expect any sort of resolution.

Ah ok. Smiley

I already tried to get in contact with kumala some months ago because of some important info about the scammer who scammed with labcoin. He could have helped the case but he did not react, regardless of all the ways i contacted him. I asked on the forum if someone know him and if i can get in contact. Nothing too. It seems to be impossible to get in contact months before already.

The only thing i learned was that others had problems with him too. For example issuers that wanted to take over the project and run it, because they would be able to provide a better service to their shareholders. The offer was good too. But kumala didnt react or was too d... ehm... unsmart to even get knowledge of the offer. Thats clearly not how a business has to be done.

And i would not have divs paid out there anymore since when something would have happened then no help would be there. And you never would know if the divs wouldnt have been paid out shortly before the website vanishes.

So luck in bad luck i guess.
