I had 0.04 BTC in my mintpal account and it pisses me off. I can only feel for those who lost proper sums.
If you didn't watch Antonopolous addressing the Canadian senate on the need for legislation to cover any point where centralisation occurs, then try to take the time to do so.
i got all my coins out as fast as the site was up,no problems.
After this anouncement i have learn my lesson,never hold coins on an exchange when you dont trade!
I wich there was a way that your wallet was synced with an acount on an exchange and trade direclty from your wallet instead of an seperate wallet on an account controlled by the exchange,that way we dont have to be afraid to loose any coins when shit happens on the exchange.
My god i feel sad for all those people that still had coins @ Mintpal and could not acces it
