I wouldn't be entirely surprised...
Sometimes ago, I wanted to withrdraw some BTC dust (0.2btc) from an exchange, the btc was at a peak value, it was impossible (got an error) was exactly the same for someone else I know. Everything got stuck for several hours and when the fund finally arrived to my local account, strangely enough the peak was over... so coincidence ? may-be, may-be not. I won't name the exchange, it is one of the respectable one, but that was really strange.
other story, there was recently a pump and dump on xmg on bittrex, I tried to send some xmg to sell, the coin got stuck as validating on the exchange until the end of the pump (2 to 3 hours)
This seems to be a very common theme
I had exactly the same problem, and it was on one of the respectable exchanges. I ignored other people's similar complaints until it happened to me. Now it's got me thinking.
I have been saying that all along too !
You guys say ya ya bullshit your a FUD'er.. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM blah blah blah..
until
YOU get fucked over, again and again and again...
Cryptsy fed me a bullshit excuse about a Fork and Blue Coin way back and that was it i was done.
They paused the market while i waited for 12 hours for my coins to show up while the pump ended.
i have told that story far too many times to repeat it.. search the forum for the long version if needed lol
i have IRC logs i think of them doing that with Doge coin waaaay back with a million guys flipping out with missing coins
while Cryptsy staff hid and pretend the problem was fixed as one of them said that dared show his face LOL
and not only that they used a nobody we never heard of.. all the guys we know by name vanished for 2.5 weeks
while i watched guy after guy come in asking ..
WHERE are my coins ?And they won't open their mouth here about it either or those logs will get posted.. and trust me they don't want me to do that LOL
clowns.. the lot of them
I said the same damn thing about Mt. Gox non stop (going back to July 2013) endlessly too and sure enough.. Told ya so.. again LOL
