There's another update on their site :
"June 26, 2015 - Today we finished the move to our new server. It took longer then expected due to some difficulties we encountered.
We're now running audits on all of the accounts. Once the account's been audited and verified, that account will be able to login.
Once all of the accounts have been audited and verified we'll enable trading and withdraws."
Who knows, maybe they do return, but i'm still confident that even if they do; that there will be some "catch"
cheers

I laughed way harder than i should have, on this bolded part above. Do you think they will return, and that you will be able to cashout you balance? I honestly doubt it.
cheers

of course not. there will be a new ETA over and over again. in the end, admin will be gone.
With this there are 3 threads about scrypt.cc

From their front page:
"
June 24, 2015 - Today the hackers came back in and cleaned our databases taking our chat room with it.
This doesn't effect us at all since we have many images of the database before the attack. We'll be up and running on a clean and safe server by tomorrow. Once we're on the new server, we'll rollback everyone's KHS/BTC balances prior to the attack and you will be able to login once again.
Our ETA stands at June 30th if everything runs smoothly, once we "relaunch" all user balances will be available for withdraw.
Current mining rewards are being used to recover some of the losses.
We will update once we're on the new server, Take care!

it should have been clear that site was a scam, the expected ROI was way too high to be considered a legitimate mining operation.
People don't want to invest in interesting startups, who build products with long-term focus. They want to risk their life savings with gambling and ponzi schemes.
for quick money. I have a hard time getting around this thinking too

what i said cloudmining are sucks you must never believe on every cloudmining service . its all bullshit.
It's not all a scam, there are legit cloudmining services, but indeed they are rare ones to find.
When a cloudmining company can't or won't deliver proof of actual mining being done, well then i call it BS.
Anyways, there's an "update" on their site now, when you log in, stating:
"
Update: Aside from the stolen coins, there's no other damage done. We have found the entry point and we're ready to move on. We're in the progress of installing a new server and should be back in business within a week.
There's a lot of speculation regarding KHS/BTC balances, all balances will be rolled back to the last backup before the lock down.
You will be forced to change your emails, password and PIN upon your first login. (These are hashed but it's good practice to reset after a breach like this).
It was a big blow, but we'll come out stronger then ever. We appreciate the patience and all of the kind words we have recieved. I'll update as we make progress.
"
* Withdraw is disabled, and as are most of the tabs in navigation menu. It all just leads to a blank page at the moment. Doesn't look good, even tho they claim to return in a week.
cheers
Well i for one don't share your enthusiasm regarding it tumbling down, as there were many users participating as investors, that are now going to loose their money, and once more
increase the number of bitcoin related scams.
Withdraw leads to a blank page, and so does the most of the navigation menu, so, even tho they claim to be back within a week or so, i believe their fall already happened, not that it will take them "few months to
collapse", like you stated.
It was never a "good" site, like i warned over a year ago, it was just a matter of time (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6044891)
It lasted this long because the owners made sure it looks attractive enough to invest, and obviously they had enough funds to maintain initial withdrawals.

June 22, 2015 – Around 24 hours ago, I (Marcelo Santos AKA Admin) was finishing our server upgrade, We’ve been doing the switch step by step for the past two weeks. The last part was the accounts database and the trade engine. I put a notice up here around the time I was finishing the switch, users that were online at the time probably noticed. After I completed, I ran a upgrade on the new server and left on a personal trip with my family in which I was unreachable until now.
Around 14 hours ago our database was breached, the hacker credited himself BTC and KHS and withdrew BTC until our withdraw wallet was empty. He then proceeded to make suspicious orders in the market in which the market automatically turned itself off. This sent a alert to myself and other support staff, one of them seeing what was happening but not being able to do much as he does not have back-end access, he enabled our “Panic” mode in which put the whole site on lock down. But the hackers still managed to gain access and steal the coins from the hot wallet and the backup withdraw wallet.
Bad news: We had a large amount of BTC stolen, most of which were ours.
Good news: Our server runs hourly database backups and a backup was made minutes before their first attack and right before the lock down. So all user information is safe.
The site will stay online while we investigate further and plan out our next steps.
Balances will show 0 for the time being as we work on the database.
According to the blockchain some users are still depositing into their accounts, DO NOT MAKE ANY MORE DEPOSITS since the hackers still have access to the hotwallets.
Please have patience and I’ll keep everyone updated as we execute our next steps.

It was just a matter of time, from start they were shady, but some people still made good money there.
I dont believe anyone sane will believe how this "hack" actually happened, its crystal clear that they took the money and ran away.
cheers

Seriously? This has been a proven scam for quite some time. Do you all read badbitcoin.org or something?
they are still believing that scrypt.cc is legit while site wasn't proven of the source of the coins. Seriously? This has been a proven scam for quite some time. Do you all read badbitcoin.org or something?
A still lasting one. I believe they managed to pull it out so far because there were not as many cloud mining sites when they started out, unlike now where
you have one on every corner of the forum. Some people still made nice money there, but every time you try to log in, or try to make a withdraw, heartbeat rises
cheers

I'n in the same boat thinking that scrypt has been a ponzi for a while, but this is just complete FUD, it looks like the site didnt load either completely or correctly on your end, i just opened it and it looks fine. think for a second before you open these accusation threads.
