awww this is sad news CAVIRTEX was my #1 goto CAD/BTC exchange for years Sad

They will go down in history as the only bitcoin exchange that didn't run away or lose everyones bitcoin claiming hack.

How many bitcoin exchanges shut down without owing anyone any money? Only CAVIRTEX!

They haven't paid out everyone yet.

A lot of people are still waiting to be sent their BTC, LTC and fiat...

~~~

And I don't trust QuadrigaCX.

I tried two small, but non-dust, BTC deposits with them that never did show up and have heard absolutely nothing from them
after sending them email and support tickets several times.

Was it a microbit...? Probably has to be worth more than a fraction of a fraction of a penny to show up.

It was more than a penny, and if they have a minimum deposit amount they should tell people on their site, or at least answer email and support tickets from their customers.

What are our options now for withdrawing FIAT in Canada? Im a miner mostly and usually sell BTC and want to withdraw FIAT.

Don't want to deal with the headache of localbitcoins again.

That's what I've been wondering. Some people on Reddit were talking about using QuadrigaCX, while others said that it's a sort of shady exchange.

Here's the thread if you'd like to read through it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2w8lw9/canadians_with_cavirtex_and_vos_shutting_down/

Damn that sucks. I used to use them for their debit cards and they worked very well and easy to sign up for. Sad news that they are shutting down. I doubt that they are shutting down only due to some old databases being compromised, maybe too much legal issues popping up and the thread of hackers (BTER right now maybe scared them) is growing too large.
Sad to see you go!

Still have my debit card sitting around pity to see that option die as well.
Got it originally to test it out but it was nice to have that option as well, that said as far as I know they were the only bitcoin exchange actually pushing for legislation in Canada and helped with the legal standing that we have her now, aka building the framework for companies that followed, it is a pity to see them go as they were pretty much the safest exchange out there and I presume they will enable withdraws would be strange to see that collapse now, although I did try the phone number and was told to use the ticket.
But in this case we know who the CEO is from talking at the Canadian Senate, blog and news-feeds + twitter and for the oldest vets still have the original IPO from March 18 2013 from havelock, just a little under two years.

Hopefully we will see them come back someday or the security level improves dramatically for Bitcoin exchanges
(Aka cryptography growth)

What I wanna know is how do you go from "deposits disabled due to know issue" to "Cavirtex shutting down"?

1+1 is not equaling 2 here.

Agreed!

The Quebec move might have spooked them. But honestly I think they were just following VOS out the door. Bitcoins is too dangerous for mainstream businessers, too many regulatory and legal unknowns.

And don't forgot these pesky monkeys:

Never used Quadriga before but im gonna need to I suppose. TBH.. I dont trust any of these Canadian exchanges. Well that's not entirely true. I do trust CanadianBitcoins. They have a real office where you can go in and complain if something goes wrong. Having that alone puts them at the top for buying or selling btc in canada. I just wish they weren't a fixed rate exchange. Maybe they'll step up here and open a real exchange soon. Lord knows Canada needs one!

Vault of Satoshi had a real address.. I only ever bought my BTC in person.

Apparently Quadrigacx does as well but seeing as it is about 5000KM away I won't be going there anytime soon to see. I have talked with Quardriga on the phone if that helps ne lol.

QuadrigaCX looks junk to me & rumor the people behind it are shady. Have they even picked up a MSB license in Canada yet?

ppl on reddit are saying cointrader.net will be our next best option moving forward & it seems to be favored among VoS former customers.

Maybe if I was looking to launder money I'd use quadrigacx.com as they are the only ones who will service anonymous money transfers no questions asked.

cointrader guys are trustworthy, and they have a physical location + bitcoin ATM in BC. Too bad the volume and withdrawal options are terrible. Hopefully they'll step up their game.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm setting up an account now at cointrader.net I also got some info on a nice promotion they're doing since CAVIRTEX shut down:

I heard the same thing... I hear the owner comes from a hacking background. Not really feeling that. Canada really needs a new place to safely trade bitcoins

No, instead they just sold shares promising a dividend, never paid one, tried to force people into a terrible buy back option and are likely going to pay out nothing to the people that gave them money and supported them from day 1.

Good riddance.

Yep.. Pretty sad eh?

CaVirtex strictly limited Canadian residents as the clients. That was one of the reason their customer base has not grown.

Vault of Satoshi used to be good long time ago but not that much in the last months. Cointrader does not have competitive price both for bid and ask. QuadrigaCX has issues in their API access control (at least from outside Canada). However QuadrigaCX would be the best CAD exchange at this moment.. Undecided

By the way, confusing Virtex.com is also in trouble, which is EgoPay related firm Sad
