I think they rebranded their website to stex.com
THEY ALSO SCAMED THE PEOPLE WITH THEMS NATIVE TOKEN STEX COIN .
They was paying dividends one day they sell all of that tokens in hi price and later they decide to stop paying dividends
 Finally they disable the coin not active any more you can’t sell its just dead .
It was native token from them .
Avoid that scam exchange warning scam scam

solved!!!
it looks like my password has changed mysteriously...alone!!!
damn passwords that change by themselves in the dead of night even when we have 2fa...

beware of passwords that have a life of their own!!!
I missed something earlier. SlowGrowth said contact him on discord.

What's discord?

I'm gonna just quote myself and let you know I figured out what Discord is. lol

Hehe.  Grin


Now to something completely different:
just to report that stocks exchange does not credit my deposit!!   i had a "finished status" since my 5000 ncp were confirmed on the the 9th of setember , today is the 15th and after several messages with support my deposit is not yet available!!
they say that my coins are " processing in my wallet" ..dont know what that means, now they say that there devs disabeld ncp...


Has anybody get the PRIVATE API to work?
Since their humungous site update the requests responding with "The credentials are invalid".
I'm aware of the change in the url.
Also tried to encode the signature, apiKey, apiSecret in several ways and even set up a new account  ...
still won't work.

Halp?



EDIT:
Figured it out. They changed (undocumented) the way they create the HMAC signature.

In PHP it looks now:

Code:
$hmacsignature = bin2hex(hash_hmac("sha512", $post_data,  $API_SECRET , true  ));

Old and therefor now obsolete way was: $hmacsignature = base64_encode( hash_hmac("sha512", $post_data, base64_decode( $API_SECRET ), true ) );

They answered me in the chat and even sent an email. http://i64.tinypic.com/2v9u461.png They said to change the password again, and it all worked. O_o
I hope that this will not happen again.

for everyone who has problems in stocks.exchange do not use support or chat!!! they do not respond!!! send a message to [email protected] but do not put "support" as the subject!!! I just put the error and they answered me in 30 minutes!!!

they respond quickly because they think it's some investor... Roll Eyes

My account disappeared after the balance became more than 0.005 BTC. The login form shows this inscription "These credentials do not match our records." Although the day before, everything worked fine. For fourteen hours the support did not answer. It was wasted time and money (yep, the fund is very small, but still disappointing).

it happened to me. there is no answer in the chat and i had to create a new account to use the support.

i think we were stolen... Angry

I had to leave for the technical issues they're facing right now because of their premature release of the
new website.

BTC Withdrawal worked. Took 6 hours, but with the outflow of liquidity right now I expected this delay.

Also, I personally had never a problem withdrawing or depositing. Sometimes delays at extraordinary peaks.

In my opinion: no scam. But they lack professionality.

I will come back to them as soon they get it straight.



Thought I lost my coins as I happened to transfer at the moment the new website was being launched. Seemed like it was down hours but my coins were there the next morning.

Yeah the new website looks nice but holly crap it is bad. Put trades of over 1k of coins and they show consistently as a single digit number.
The basic trade section works.. well sort of. The advanced tab simply says "coming soon" I just cant understand why you would roll out an obviously half finished UI.
The candle chart doesn't follow the last traded numbers. eg last trade @ 0.00000356 BTC for a couple of hours but the candle says 0.00000335 BTC even after a page refresh. candles times are @ 30 minute intervals.
I dont wish to run them down but there is plenty of other anomalies.

I'd like to be able to trade 20k coins I've mine as they are one of the few exchanges that has them listed but there is no way I would send em there. I don't believe they are scammers but it's way to buggy for me to risk much tbh

Be careful with stock.exchange I lost coin NCP 2018-06-06 22:21:27 amount 604890 NCP, 2018-06-07 05:55:38 amount 179980 NCP When  I want create ticket i saw note disable coin NCP  from 06/02 - 06/08
after i know somebody withdrawal my coin & i create ticket but the date 06/06 - 06/07 this disable coin NCP. So nobody can be transaction with coin NCP
after i create ticket they reply : how is it possible that somebody withdrawn your coins? You have 2FA and only can withdraw, because you should confirm your withdrawal from your email.
So i'm thinking if disable coin NCP who can withdrawal my NCP coin ? you know the answer
So becareful

I think that there a lot of accounts on forums to talk negative about stocks or other crypto. Just for there own. Like other big exchanges that have benefit of it.

Really, stocks.exchange doesnt steel money. I agree the support is not the fastest. But it is also a small exchange yet, with a few employees.
Are you going to trade there, and risk losing your coins?, reputation is very important exchange should have a fast support ticket and they should fix the issue as they arise, so to avoid people posting how shit their service is, it's the exchange fault, not the trader's patience.

I don't know what to think about this exchange, scam or not.
I sent some BTC to my stocks-exchange account and bought some LCE coins.
Everything went smoothly with no incidents. After that the price of LCE went up a bit
and i decided to sell my coins. I put an Sell order and after couple of days when i logged in
my account, surprise surprise!!! They cancelled my LCE/BTC order, opened new sell order
on the lowest price available. Sold my LCE coins, with those BTC they bought USDT.
After another few buy and sell orders they bought NEXO coin (i never heard of them before)
and finally they wasted all my coins. They put those fake orders in such way to dry up my
BTC. When i opened one ticket they told me that i have to read their FAQ, like there is any
paragraph that give the the right to interfere with clients account and make unauthorized Trades!!!
After that they say that i may used a Trading Robot and that put the orders on my behalf!
Can you believe that? After that they say i may given my login details to someone else and he/she
made the trades in my account!
People, i can't believe myself how someone can go to such a low moral just for some few miserable
satoshi. I did not lost an hand here or any huge sum of money, it was around $260 but my problem
is that i damn hate scammers. I warn you all, everyone is reading this post, stay away from this
wannabe Exchange. Like you see in the posts in this discussion board, they're picky, meaning that
today they pick one, tomorrow they pick another one. Sometime they delay your withdraw for their benefit
they cancel a trade here and there, they make some fake trades in your account and waste your coins in
their benefit. They do that in a such way that people can't call the right scam strait away. And after
your turn come and mess with your account they tell you simple in your face. PROVE IT!
I have all the screen shots with all my orders, the order they cancelled, the fake orders they opened,
the screenshots and links with my deposits but they say that i intentionally made the orders, i lost
my coins and now blame them. Well, i make orders to lose all my coins! I am blind. I am an idiot?
I sell my coins for nothing and then blame someone else, WHAT THE HECK OF MENTALITY IS THAT?!!!
I say again, stay away from this strange exchange, you may be OK for now but tomorrow you will be next!
No doubt about that!



Thanks for posting this I was about deposit some coins but seeing they are new to the industry I double check and look for reviews coming from actual users, now even if they offer high price for some coin, I will not risk my coins trading to this exchange, the risk outweighs the price, people should not use this kind of exchange.

From my point of view they behave like scam.
I sent some ETH then purchased BTW. It was month and a half ago.
Since then 3 times they generated fake transaction has.
Currently support is responding that they working on issue.
For asking questions why they hold my withdrawal they did ban me on twitter.
I suppose they want to hide their scam practice, so more people will transfer funds, so they can steal it all at some point.

Be aware of them. Behavior shows they scam waiting for right moment to escape with coins.
