It appears coinmarketcap is not our best friend It took ages to get on there, and now without a warning (at least I think) we got delisted... Strange.. Maybe he's irritated I pulled the plug on some explorers he was pulling data from or something..
So what's up... I lost about 80% of all my crypto coins.. PIO, BTC, RADS, ETH.. These we're the bigger wallets I had.. I lost ~90K euro worth of crypto at these BTC prices... I was always confident about my ways of backing up my wallets.. I avoided cloud services and kept everything I had in my own control.. I had three different harddrives/usb sticks lying around in the house with encrypted wallets on there.. Never even thinking about a fire burning down 3/4 of my house.. Fortunately during the fire, the entire family was out and nobody got hurt..
So is there a good thing about all this? Well yes there is.. A very VERY expensive lesson.. And I'm glad I've gone through this with my own money, and not from people on our exchange so to speak.. At one point I even thought of stopping with crypto completely.. But I'm not that type of guy.. So I'm still here...
So how are we going to continue?
I need time to work things out.. 4 weeks ago I was confident my wallets could be recovered.. The hd's went to 3 different recovery companies, all without result.. I lost a sum of money my insurance doesnt cover... My house gets rebuild, but my crypto is simply gone.. I'm not financially broke, I will manage just fine, but this sh*t hurts... I probably get back working on my old services (explorers, escrows, faucets, games) I used to offer to earn back some of my lost crypto.. Until then, all I ask for is your time, patience and understanding.. The exchange is on hold until I'm back on track again..
Just a sidenote, I will also contact yobit to get us out of maintenance.. And I will try and have a good talk with the guys from cryptopia and ask them to add us as well.. The website and OP need a total makeover/update.. I will work on that later...
Meanwhile please keep staking and supporting the network..

As I posted at an earlier point. I have 500 PIO with your name on it. Please send me your address and they are yours. If anyone else can find it in their hearts to donate a bit to Banzai we could help him get back on his feet.
