It's sad that Nova is closing. I remember them from a goodly while back. I used to trade the most garbage of garbage coins there.
Then after they changed hands, I had to leave. Didn't figure that the new owners would drive it into the ground, but that's what appears to have happened.
I used to make faucets that would hook into their API. It was simple, and allowed me to give away "fun" coins on the cheap, and help people get into alts.
RIP Nova. You'll always have a place in my heart for all the good times, even if this was an exit scam.

with do all respect , i stopped with KYC after the hack of some exchange , where you personal id lays on the street ...
Exactly. This was a long orchestrated scam. Now they not only have your coins, the fees for re-listing from already burnt Cryptopia victims, and the KYC data.As i remember there is a minimum widrawal to exchange even you dont make a kyc. 2btc daily limit without kyc is normal in exchange back in 2016-2018 but more of exchange now is required to make a kyc .
bittrex also do the same requirements i remember i recieve an email with kyc thing in bittrex since i dont have balance in that exchange any more ill never do that thing.
indeed, if i am honest , i dont care if they ask my kyc info i would give it to them, but i dont trust them..
btw not only with exchanges, i am skeptical when i have to give my personal id via the net...
We do remember those past exchangers like Poloniex bought by circle and comes heavy centralized exchange.Its reputation dips down and been replaced on most exchangers
we are currently seeing now.Same goes with this Novaexchange as i read up above it does also require small traders? They should at least take a look on whats Binance been doing.

If no fraud, return money for coin listing. Otherwise it is pure scam.
luckely i head not much coins over there ... after their first decision to stop , i stopped with them also , and after re-opening they suddenly want KYC...

I'm an old user of this exchange before they changed management. But no kyc at the time yet. Didn't know that they already require kyc for their customers as I haven't back as well after they changed hands. They should require kyc only for certain levels. If you are only a small time trader, I think no need to be strict with kyc requirements. Otherwise, it would be hard for this exchange to gain more traders let alone gain the old users.
i think that were the problem, after restart of nova , they asked for KYD , i didnt do it , so you can say i left that exchange .. if this were same thoughts of others , so its logical action...

I pulled out all my fund on their exchange site after I received an email to them. I worried about our KYC details out there if we are safe or they will probably sell that on the dark web. I hope they are telling right regarding what's happening now on Nova exchange.
Looking forward to their staff to make a clear statement here.

An interesting set of responses - perhaps you can encourage them to respond here given they last posted in this, their official thread prior to the 18th of July.
I received only one email about "New Course of Nova" and it includes that dates and fee. Not sure why they didn't mention it exactly the same as that on the site's Landing page and News page, but they did mention about the fees, so users should expect that.

After that date there will be additional fees charged, and we can’t guarantee at what rate we can accommodate your requests.

There are at least two emails that have been sent by nova to customers, unlike the website which has kept quiet about it, the email says (and I kid you not)
Quote
- Starting from October 28th until November 27th, there will be an equivalent to 0.0001 BTC custody fee charged at the time of the withdrawal request.
- Starting from November 28th until December 19th, there will be an equivalent to 0.005 BTC custody fee charged at the time of the withdrawal request.
- Starting from December 20th until January 27th, there will be an equivalent to 0.01 BTC custody fee charged at the time of the withdrawal request.
- From January 28th 2020 onwards the Nova website will be closed and users will have to get in touch with us to claim their assets.
- The custody fee will increase by 0.005 BTC every month on the 28th onwards.

Given they are dragging the chains to confirm people, until wouldn't you know it? You have to pay a fee to withdraw your coins...
As I said on the other thread, I haven't been able to verify myself on novaexchange and now this:
By you "haven't been able to verify", do you mean you're unable to fill out the form or there's some sort of error when you submit your details? I contacted them via Trollbox about the issue and the mod said:
Old account "does not exist" from previous management, so created new user profile. I could get part way through the KYC process, but it would always fail.

You may try doing the verification again considering his advice and with this guide. If it still failed, you can contact the MOD yourself via Trollbox for further assistance. That's the fastest way, since as you've mentioned you emailed them before and didn't get a response (or stopped getting a response).
Classic exit scam. After Cryptopia's own they tried to accumulate customers through coin re-listings, collected KYC data and now they pull the plug.
This is the second time for Nova, only this time they not only steal the coins but also sell your KYC data. Looks like this was planned for a while.

I remember getting an email that they were shutting down and then after they a few months, they come back saying that they are open for business. I did try logging into my account but for some reason i was told my account did not exist.
I would receive emails and notifications from Nova exchange on that very email i used for registering, but then they tell you that your account does not exist... Ironic, isn't it?
I never looked back since then.
They have been under a new management. Maybe accounts that has not been claimed were deleted, but still on the mailing list (not sure though). When they announced the change of ownership, they mentioned that old users should claim the account, by logging in and accept the new TOS. I did that and until now I can log in my account.

All good - as an extra layer of security perhaps you should check out the Stake your Bitcoin address here thread.
(but I wasn't joking when I said that I am unable to verify myself with your KYC program)

Dear Nova Trader
The Board of Directors of the parent company has decided to set a new course for Nova and reshape the value offer into a new crypto trading experience. This means that on Monday, October 7, trading on Nova Exchange will cease and close. At the same time the Nova API will be deactivated.
The Nova Exchange terms & conditions are terminated. New terms & conditions are announced and will come into effect automatically 30 days from today's date (September 26, 2019).
The most important part of this message is this:
This is purely a Business Decision.
There has been no hack.
There has been no fraud.
There has not been any wrongdoing of any kind whatsoever.
Nova Exchange will not assume responsibility for swaps or forks starting from today onwards.
Goobit Group, that owns Nova, also operates the well known Swedish bitcoin exchange service BTCX. Starting from 2012, our team is among the best and the most experienced in the world in dealing with crypto assets. Now, even if we can’t disclose our exciting plans today, we can tell you that Nova, in some form, will enrich and play a key role in shaping the crypto future for the masses, however not in the shape and form that you know today.
What happens now?
Obviously you, as a trader, are encouraged to withdraw your funds as soon as possible. Our team stands ready to help you get a smooth withdrawal process, however, the rules regarding identification (KYC), as stated in the terms of service that you have accepted when opening your account, must, and will, stand.
No identification - No withdrawal
It is as simple as that. Even though trading will close, we must comply with the law, and make sure that all funds end up with its rightful owner.
The Nova platform will be open for regular withdrawals for one month after this announcement; that is until October 25 at 23:59 (CEST). After that date there will be additional fees charged, and we can’t guarantee at what rate we can accommodate your requests. It might take up to 30 days, depending on the load. So please make your withdrawals at your earliest convenience and DO NOT deposit more funds in the now obsolete addresses that you have used in the past.
The Nova Team is very proud and grateful to have been of service to you and we are thrilled to come back with the new products we're currently building.
