Topic: Mintpal, my wierd feeling (Read 2472 times)

+1 for that

I think mintpal is a great site and will become an official exchanger soon enough. Just don't put in what you can't afford to lose like with anything else.

I opened a ticked, and people contacted me but did not resolve it. I did not go to IRC and complain, I tried to remain polite.

I for one have had nothing but positive experiences with mintpal, as far as I know they've only gone down once and that was during that crazy 10,000 BTC BC rush.

Good for them if they're doing very well, they provided a much needed polished exchange to what was a pretty crappy prior selection. 

My only complaint is that I miss the old graph style (though I can understand the new one give a better sense of volume and actual price movement).

Mintpal can't be trusted at all. Their coin voting list is all fishy, I just found that they killed all my votes without any reason. All of them were honest manual votes. Today they steal your votes, tomorrow they can steal your coins.

Didn't you permanently remove Coinye because somebody was cheating with a bot?
I think it was harsh for the rest of the people holding that coin.

Anyways, nice and fast exchange you have.

And thousands of people use them, he doesnt want idiots coming round his house.

lol surely that is what everyone does anyway.......wait till a pump and dump it.......

Please provide me some proof of this?

Exactly get in and get out.

Not directed to Mintpal, I use it but I never keep any coins on any exchange longer than I have to.

You all are full of shit.  I don't believe for 1 second Mintpal has done anything shady.  Who cares on what coin they add?  They add the coins people want to trade.

Mintpal-Jay, you guys are doing a great job

We removed GDCoin because they failed to provide us with the source code properly when we requested it three times, they were fully refunded for their votes. Other than that, we have only temporarily removed (24 hours) three other coins for bot voting and since then we are removing bot votes (NOTE: this does not mean removing real votes!) 2-3 times a week as mentioned. You are definitely over-exaggerating it.

We have made it pretty clear on the site that voting coins are added once a week and we can add our own market choices outside of this how we see fit. We have been true to our word.


I can't even take this comment seriously...

Mintpal does the same than Cryptsy... They first buy an alt coin in another exchange for very low, and then they add that coin in they exchange and wait till it pump to dump the coins, easy profit no risk.

Thanks Jay for coming and replying to us in this thread. This is pretty nice from you.

Guys/ladies please it's not a thread to discuss about technical issues, you have a support and tickets for this.

I'm glad to see you're finally showing your company details. The website not working for me but I can see the picture.

Whatever, I'm still not in confidence. The votes are broken, lots of peoples spending money just to see the coin disappearing from the voting list.
You're not respecting the Monday new coins and keeping adding ****coins just because they generating volume during hype instead of be fair with the tons of ppls that sent you Bitcoin by the voting system.

I understand that as a company you want to generate money, maybe to pay servers, employees, etc... but it's kinda robbing peoples to remove a coin from the voting list for a few bots, it's also robbing to add much more coins outside the voting list.
For example you did remove the GDcoin, this coin was on the top for almost 2 weeks, maybe a bot was working on it, but I'm sure some peoples was sending money too. 2 weeks is a lot to detect a ****coin or a bot. Why do you add coins on the voting list that you don't want to see on your services and leaving them on the top during days ?

You're already generating lot of money and you keep pushing hard the wrong side to generate more and more, I feel like a sheep. It's where I'm the less confident. Like for an altcoin, I smell the hype before the dump.

I have no coins left on your services for all the reasons above.

I'm also afraid of being Goxed:

About this, dont know is it the same reason but my friend lost 3btc, he was sending them to mintpal deposit. After researching what was wrong he noted that his bitstamp ticker extension (google chrome) had been hacked and it changed deposit addresses for mintpal. Noticed when opened page with ie and had different deposit addresses. We dont know is it wide problem with this extension or was it just single hacking but this might be reason for "losing btc in mintpal"

The mintpal such a short time they made such good results, is really not easy.
But I think mintpal voting mechanism has holes, most of the coin through the brush ticket shelves, it's not fair。

No chatbox and the graph isn't real-time (or has huge lag issues). I find that I am always watching the orders and then even the orders glitch where the top order in the buy or sell sticks while the price continues to rise/ fall. You have to constantly refresh the page to fix this.

Horrible trading experience.

I completely understand that, and good job with how Mintpal is growing. Good luck with everything!

Way 2 go. As an user I feel safe and confident.
