Look at his face...  Angry Angry Angry Angry


Anyone here living in BC, Canada able to go pay this guy a visit?

I also just saw the "grinning" cow on the website. He wouldn't have posted it, if he were in over his head. Seems to me, he just ran with all the money he collected.

This is very unfortunate for the people who deposited their coins there.

Which exchange do you trust besides Cryptsy?

I trust cn.bter.com and (maybe) vircurex.

Understanding Bitcoin
March 2013
I suspect Bitcoin is a game changer much like windows was. It is hard not to love it once you understand it. The growth of Bitcoin is unprecedented and surprisingly the percentage growth of the alternate digital currency called Litecoin has been even higher. Many millionaires have been created by this and for the rest of us, well we missed the boat - this time.

For now, i would not say I'm "winning". We got a generic promise of a 150% refund with the future earnings of the site, but i would be glad to change this wannabee 150% with a 100% refund in my wallett NOW

Chill people....You might all want to check the recent update to the site. He WAS hacked and he goes into a lot of detail about it on there and yes, stolen coins will be replaced and we will get a 50% bonus..so for every 2 coins we had on there , we will get 3 back!! Although communication was pretty slack on his part, u cant argue with the fact he will be replacing all coins and compensating us, which he doesn't have to do. Good times!!! Grin

this is not an exchange to trust with any significant amount.  according to these terms they can shut down and do not have to pay you any coin you deposited there.  Its something you have agreed to to automatically when u sign up :\

Ok, not forggeting my last post i did say that im not actually calling anybody a scammer here, jus very worried. Since reading many other posts and the guys facebook page, i would say that this does not appear to be a scam of the bat. and upon refreshing the page i am greeted with this message.....

It works!

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

.....hmmmm i dont wana say this looks promising , but....

I had given up on my coins until i got stumped by his facebook page. I mean he had his site details whois protected, had no contact feature on the site and no twitter page to keep us adequately up to date. Never again.

In the short time the site was up he got a lot of new signups, had to add more RAM to the server to cope with the load, and had to rebuild the disk. I suspect he's underestimated the hardware requirements and probably just shopping for/building a new server. Give him some time.

@LAMarcellus 

Very nice point in your post. Let them deal with heavy load.

But anyway, they should inform customers what is going on. If we do not deserve

more than banner info, then they do not deserve to put our money there.

Right...i also am in the same predicament as apparently quite a few of u guys. Before i say anything, people saying about how crappy the site looks is neither here nor there wen coined-up is a white page with a few boxes on it but no1 say nuttin bout that??Anyways...  I firstly deposited a "small" amount of fedora from my wallet to ecrypto, it showed up, i traded it for small amounts of btc n everything went smoothly  Smiley . Next i deposited a "decent" amount of fedora into the account, then got some decent btc back  Cheesy, again everything sweet. Now my wallet is empty,so i withdraw a "fucking lot" of fedora (28M) Huh from coined-up and drop it in the same account...15 mins later coined-up's confirmed everything as gone through, but none of my beloved coins are anywhere to be seen??  Cry Been 4 hours now n not looking great considering they seem to have time refining the site, changing the appearance but they cant sort out peoples missing money? Im praying mine is a case of "its not my local wallet address so they might not of put it through" but i highly doubt it. Am i pissed off? YES, was that a dumb NOOBISH act possibly fueled by greed? YES!! So people BEWARE of this site before u get scammed. Im not saying they ARE scammers and i still hope this will be resolved, but at the same time i am getting an unsettling feeling.I emailed them through their "whoisip" address and no reply so  Embarrassed  The apparent lack of support or contact on this site is not reassuring in the slightest.
If you "ecrypto" guys are reading this then SORT YOUR SHIT OUT coz if you are for real people are not gonna trust you...and GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!  Angry

I´ve got a picture! Haha!
30+ hours ago I´ve sended there 1000 EAC, traded them for 0.0024 BTC (by some strange flaw it happened 2 times in a row, so I sold 2000 EAC for 0.0047 BTC) and tried to withdraw BTC. First time I´ve clicked on the link in confirmation email it gets me to the front page of exchange site (with no message), second and any further clicks gives me "Transaction Failed 0.0047 was not sent to ....". That 0.0047 BTC was already deducted from my acc, but never hit blockchain. And as far as there is no contact form nor email adress on ecrypto site, I believe its SCAM.

Anytime you allow someone else to possess "your" coins you are taking a huge risk. Don't let greed prevent you from performing due diligence or letting your cooler side prevail.
That said be patient. Give these guys a little slack to deal with their growth issues.
Have you ever set up a business or tried to serve 100s if not 1000s of customers?  Give them a break and let them work thru these unforeseen issues before you start attacking them.

I was lucky enough to get to watch an episode of "Bar Rescue" recently.  before the grand opening the host of the show (who knows his shit) will have the bar do a trial run. He has a specific name for it, which I forget but essentially its a stress test. And many things go wrong that night. Some customers get burned. But in the long run, the business is stronger for having been ummm whats that phrase... tested by fire??
Just relax and let them work thru the issues they're having. They will provide you better service afterwards.

But currently, although you're saying all is working fine, seems that i had lost my withdraw that was pending during the crash: there is no pending withdraw showed on my account, and if i click on the confirmation email i get this message:
