And to get thinks worse, because the amount of request made in the loop, cloudflare immediately block the user, that explain why we get a cloudflare error page after few seconds, if they add a timeout on a error returned on ajax, they can stabilize the site.

Looking in the Chrome console, I found what's is DDOSing their site: is the ajax request that don't have a timeout control when a request return a error, after a erro the site make immediately another request without timeout control.

So for any server they try to setup the site will overload and consume all resources in minutes.

They need to change the ajax request and make an error control, when returning a code other than 200, impose a timeout on the next ajax request.

For example, hundred of this requests are mede per second when a RESOURCE ERROR are returned:

 GET https://coinsmarkets.com/getbalancebuy.php?coinid=5&name=Bitcoin&pairid=1 net :: ERR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES

If possible, send this information to them: add error control and timeout on ajax function, to delay request on error.

I am brand new here, but I've been lurking for about a month now since I got into crypt. I honestly think that the speculation should stop. It's just paragraphs of useless data that I'm trying to sift through to get an answer about the status of CoinsMarkets.com.

If you have NEW information or a joke, I think those are welcome. Otherwise, you're just beating a dead horse and saying something that was probably said hundreds of times before you in the past 60+ pages of this forum.

If you don't like my suggestion, then by all means continue. I'm just suggesting something that is mentally healthy for you. I want to make people happy. That's my life mission. Crypto is just another way of doing that.

Stay positive guys.

I still can't believe it when I see people who blame angry customers for CoinsMarkets utter and complete incompetence.

They were great while they were working now not so much Yeah i have some money trapped there but bigger problem for me then the money i have there is that we dont have any decent exchange where we can sell our shitcoins,CM was easy to use and really fast withdrawal with low fees but all we are left now is cryptobridge and etherdelta but even those 2 dont really list new coins

Yeah, especially when you consider how little communication has been released by CoinsMarkets.  That is the real alarming indicator here.  They have a news section on their site that still works (sort of), no post since the 3rd, I believe.  They have an account here on this forum, no posts.  They have a Twitter account, no posts.  They have all our emails to send out an email blast, no emails.  They have many many different ways of communicating with all the customers, yet they fail to do so.  That is the most alarming sign that points to a bad ending here.

If this were just some simple server upgrade/fix, it would not be difficult to put out some clear explanation of what is going on.  The fact that they have been putting up these repetitive one sentence updates on their website that doesn't really load the home page half the time is ridiculous.  Now they're trying to make it seem like customers reporting them as fraud to their webhost (and rightfully so) has prevented them from coming back online.  Now they're "looking for new hosting".  Bottom line, if CoinsMarkets was communicating openly, clearly, in detail, with consistency, then i would be just fine with them working thru their "issues".  But when you look at this pattern of behavior in how they are not communicating and using excuses to buy more time, it doesn't look promising.


Also, this should be of no surprise to anyone, but I can confirm as a seasoned network engineer and software developer that there is beyond the shadow of a doubt extreme incompetence going on here from a technical perspective.  The fact that they were apparently using a single dedicated (or worse, a VPS) hosting service for an exchange website with tons of users and millions of dollars in cryptocurrencies clearly demonstrates they have no clue what they're doing--at best. Instead, they should've been running on some kind of cloud based, elastic/scalable server infrastructure, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, etc.  I suppose in hindsight the warning signs were evident, especially when you look at how horrible their frontend was put together.

Those are using for understanding which server serve the site in generally.

Seriously.. CoinsMarkets goes offline for 9 days without any warning, nor did they make any effort to communicate to their customers what was going on. Customers that have millions of dollars there. And you think the customers are at fault? What kind of logic is that? What is retarded is not expecting this type of outcome when taking an exchange offline for that amount of time with 0 communication to it's many customers.

I agree with the previous comment about opening consecutive withdrawals of all coins. After everyone withdrew coins we as a community of coinsmarkets users could suggest an owner create a more professional exchange of shitcoins on the basis of coinsmarkets in which everyone who invested in the project could influence on developers, suggest proposals for improvements and so on. The current owner of cm could have 50% in the new exchange.

Would this indicate anything?

Earlier today I looked at the wallet status page, and bunch of them were showing up as online with "Last Scan Times" ranging between 1/12 - 1/14.

I looked at it again just a few minutes ago, and I saw the same wallets online but now with Last Scan Times of  1/7 -1/8.

Both times, the site had "We are checking with different hosting now" banner.

edit: One of them the banner says "We are checking with different hosting now" while on the other it says ""We are checking with different hosting now ." (space and period at the end)

I have 7 btc stuck there. I have several options in mind depending on evolving situation.

calm down. This is no option.

Illegal actions are much more effective in this wild crypto world especially against relatives.

If this hasn't already been proposed, I think its time we seriously consider putting together legal action against CoinsMarkets (or Juvo Marceles, the alleged owner).

I would be more than willing to put some funds into some kind of crowd funding campaign.

I think its becoming abundantly clear with each passing day that this is either one of three things (or a combination of):

• a total scam/theft
• extreme incompetence/negligence
• or, they've been hacked into oblivion

Either way, CoinsMarkets extreme lack of communication on the whole issue is indicative of this all pointing to one or more of the above likelihoods.

Is anyone familiar with the legal recourses available to us in the Amsterdam jurisdiction (assuming that is the location where the site is owned as reported)?

Anyone have experience putting together a crowd funding campaign?


What are your thoughts about taking legal action?  I'm in.

Amazing how this company coins market can blame the users for complaining

Did this guy even use this site for updates to update anyone?
What about the people who make the coins we buy has anyone of them talk to this guy?

Because he sure did Hook line and sinker everyone into using his site by promoting here it's a red flag he hasn't even said he guys I'm doing this or this happen.

It's taking  way too long, and  changing 1 status to another doesn't really show they are working, it show that some1 can actually change 1 string of  text to another.
We can only hope now, 10 days is more than enough to fix  technical issues or  let thousands of users official info,  even on BTCT forum!

Working api and volume needed I think

I don't think you should be calling anyone retarded with a comment as fucking stupid as this. But hey, way to call the kettle black. Even the dumbest person wouldn't believe complaining is holding back installing physical servers and this BS sob story about a host.

Big lol
