?? Vault of Satoshi paid everyone out....?  Even my buddy that waited until a week left got everything.

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.

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

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!

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!

I am, works good.  Only thing I have not tried is withdrawing Fiat.

I have deposited and withdrew BTC and have deposited CAD.

Anyone using it?

Quadriga looks good, you only have to verify if you fund CAD but not for withdrawal.

Just need to wait until the volume transfers from VOS/CAV to quadriga then we should have something decent.

I think just very low volume. 

VOS shutdown on low volume / new busniess venture.  Looks like Cavirtex is shutting down due to potential loss of data and not being able to recover it's image :S.

There is now only quadrigacx.

That is not good indeed.

Where does that leave canadians?  Is there some big news coming, forcing Cdn exchanges to shut down? Or just pathetic volume/price? 

Feb. 17, 2015, 12:12 p.m. - CAVIRTEX shutting down

Effective immediately, CAVIRTEX intends to cease carrying on an active Bitcoin business and will be winding down its operations in an orderly manner. As a result, effective immediately, no new deposits will be accepted by CAVIRTEX. Trading on CAVIRTEX will be halted effective March 20, 2015. Effective March 25th, 2015, no withdrawals will be processed. CAVIRTEX will communicate with any account holders that continue to hold balances after March 25, 2015.

We have maintained 100% reserves. CAVIRTEX is solvent and remains in a position to accommodate all customer withdrawal requests received prior to March 25, 2015. However, On February 15, 2015 we found reason to believe that an older version of our database, including 2FA secrets and hashed passwords, may have been compromised. This database did not include identification documents.

Because security and the safety of customer funds are paramount to our mission and the success of Bitcoin in general, CAVIRTEX has determined to cease active operations in the Bitcoin business and to return all customer funds. We believe that the damage to the company's reputation caused by the potential compromise will significantly harm our ability to continue to operate successfully.

As a result of the potential compromise of our database we cannot be certain of the confidentiality of account credentials. Please log into your account and change your password immediately. Please also clear your CAVIRTEX browser cookies. BTC and LTC withdrawal will remain temporarily disabled.

We ask that customers please fill in their Bitcoin and Litecoin return addresses on their user preferences. These fields have been cleared for all users and will need to be filled in once again. This page is accessible under Settings then User Preferences. Your BTC and LTC will be sent to that address. CAD withdrawals remain enabled.

CAVIRTEX continues to believe, as we have over the last three and a half years of operation, that cryptocurrency is here to stay. We appreciate all the support from our amazing customers who have been on this journey with us. You are the true Bitcoin pioneers and with your help we have imprinted Bitcoin in the Canadian conscience.

Even with this latest development, we are proud to say that we have never lost customer funds. To our knowledge, our production environment has never been breached.

CAVIRTEX intends to communicate with its loyal shareholders regarding this announcement in the near future.

Thank you to our loyal customers and all of our supporters who believed in us but more importantly trusted us.

Sincerely,

The CAVIRTEX Team

Twitter : BTC and LTC deposits & withdrawals are temporarily disabled while we investigate suspicious activity.

Website : BTC and LTC wallets have been disabled due to a known issue.

A bit worrisome.

What's broken ?

In 2013 bill pay option took 1-3 days.  Now with free access to my account, it takes 9-10 days for direct withdrawal.  Pretty sad when weekly deposits are stacking up in the pending column.  Id even use the insanely expensive interac deposit system, if it worked.  Oh well.  As stated before, its not like there is a better option right now.

Takes a while, yup. My last one took 7 business days.

CAVIRTEX your site says "Direct Withdraw 3-5" days! I deposited Monday morning on January 12th. It's been over 5 days and I still can't use my deposit! Now the price is going up.. what's going on? Why are you guys so slow? Don't write on your site 3-5 days when it's actually going to take you much longer.

Who owns the buy59/sell65 bot?

Some sort of temporary issue its back up now

CAVIRTEX @CAVIRTEX
BTC deposits and withdrawals have been enabled again. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused!

it wont let me do btc deposits right now, whats up?

The website has always maintained 3-5 business days.  5-7 is actually typical, but by the time you roll a couple weekends in there, it's pushing 1/2 a month.  To push a fucking button.  Whoever is responsible,  it is unacceptable.  It's not like there are any other options though
