It's looking like the natives are getting restless. CM better do something quickly as I am seeing lawyer names being posted in CM chat.

The shitstorm has begun...  This as good a thread as any to start documenting things!

 

Please read
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.28840121

A new wallet scan performed today (Jan 24).
http://185.66.140.234/walletstatus.php

Scans are getting more frequent. This is a good indication that they are actually upgrading their back-end servers

website is now totaly down ! 

Amen

I think you keep saying that every couple of days last few weeks
So, maybe give us final date when site will be up

One important thing to validate would be BTC and LTC wallet of CM, if someone knows their addresses.
With other coins problem is that these were traded only on CM (majority of them), so not much of use.

They will come back in next couple of days! Do not worry

Anyone know if our coins are still staking during this time somehow? 

Still believe in them and wishing them good luck putting up the last bits to get up and running again! Can't wait!

I believe this is their profile. If you look at their posting history this profile is the one to post the updates on this thread back in September.

I find it more interesting that this profile was inactive since the 4th of Jan when the problems started. Now they have logged in on the 20th but not posted anything.

yeah

I'd like to post a few things that many of you know and many may not.  This is a non-bias posts of facts.

Quick, high level diagram: https://imgur.com/a/3gDxS


1. coinsmarkets.com is the only domain being used right now.  .co, .net .****anything else is NOT valid.

2. coinsmarkets.com was registered with gandi.net with nameservers pointing to CloudFlare - This means CloudFlare manages the dns records for coinsmarkets.com.  They also manage ssl and IP proxy for the domain coinsmarkets.com

3. We found that mail.coinsmarkets.com was NOT using CloudFlare's proxy service and was pointing directly to the NForce server with the IP address of 85.66.140.234.  With this information we were able to discover 4 additional servers being used by coinsmarkets.com. The 5 IP's are:
185.66.143.152
185.66.143.252
185.66.143.224
185.66.143.171
185.66.140.234

4. We were also able to determine that they were using a php/mysql setup by looking at the following:
http://185.66.143.152/info.php
http://185.66.143.252/info.php
http://185.66.143.224/info.php
http://185.66.143.171/info.php
http://185.66.140.234/info.php

You can also remove the /info.php and navigate to a variation of the site. (Please do not login.. See #8)

5. The registrar has placed the domain in a clientHold status. A clientHold status means:
This status code tells your domain's registry to not activate your domain in the DNS and as a consequence, it will not resolve. It is an uncommon status that is usually enacted during legal disputes, non-payment, or when your domain is subject to deletion.

6. Once this was put in a clientHold status, it takes a couple of days for it to propigate globally to all ISP's, which explains why some people were able to resolve the domain name and some were not.

7. Until this clientHold status is lifted, coinsmarkets.com will NOT be accessible by domain name. You cannot browse to it

8. You are still able to browse to any of the above IP's and get to the site, however since you are bypassing CloudFlare, ANY login attempt will be unsecure.

9. Until the issue is resolved with ICANN, and the hold is lifted, the domain will remain inaccessible, unless CM purchases a new domain name.

10. Since the domain is pointed at CloudFlare, any change of servers will be instant and will not need DNS propigation.

I think that it's their own business if they want to run their exchange anonimously and don't pay taxes. This is that non regulated crypto world a lot of people ask for, many coin developers are anonimous, they don't comply with any regulations when they do ICOs. Something being anonimous and evading taxes doesn't mean that it's a scam.
But now we have all those new people to the crypto, who went to a shady exchange and invested in a shitcoin and when they couldn't access their shitcoins because that shady exchange is having technical difficulties, they started to histerically send complaints to everyone (registrar, hosting, police, internet crime investigation unit, FBI) making this situation even worse. And now we have situation when this shady exchange, that I honestly believe had intentions to restore their service, is denied service from their hoster, has their domain taken and probably right now is under investigation.

But guess what, authorities, registrar, police, hosting - none of them will return you your coins. There was absolutely no point in sending complaints to anyone other than make lives of whoever behind this shady exchange very difficult, thus drastically increasing chance that none of us will see our coins again ever because authorities stepped in and shut the shady exchange down.

Idd, if you check the source code, you see its just a fake copy of the original site.
Do not input anything on these websites.

Yeah, good call. Do not log on anything other than the coinsmarkets IP, or coinsmarkets.com.

if you delete one letter and leave coinsmarkets.co then the site goes, though I did not dare and did not enter my data

Here. It's no longer 7 on the system's database because I used my litecoins to buy a different coin, but you'll see that it's the same wallet address, and litecoins are still there. Not sure how much this would mean in terms of the integrity of CM since we won't be able to access our own coins regardless of whether they're there or not, but nevertheless, the coins are there.

As for scam or not, I'm still sure they're not scamming us.

you can login site is up

http://185.66.140.234/walletstatus.php

after login the site redirect to coinsmarkets.com onpen again the page and you are loged in

So as proof, you need screenshot of the wallet address of a certain coin on CM, and then show it on a blockchain explorer to prove that the funds are still there?

This is my litecoin address on CM, checked the litecoin balance and they're still there. Can't give a screenshot of my CM showing the same address tho, cause the site is down.

If you check the date, I deposited on the 4th, right before the site went down.
