lol years, you really have no idea how profitable it is to be such a exchange like vircurex. In a few weeks most of the losses could be covered.

So vircurex was on fractional reserve all these time, and they are running low on cash flow.
If they handle this properly, they could get out of this.

How?

With the amount of BTC they make via fees it will take years to pay back the lost BTC.
Additionally this idea relies on new costumers making deposits there and we all can imagine just how likely it is that many people will deposit fresh money there... Roll Eyes

Crowd-funding, IPO, find investors in fiat...
How much bitcoins did they loose last year?

This is not good news but I'm liking the way they chose to handle the matter seems very responsible on there part to make things so transparent and I hope people give them credit for that and there service to the community.

this was handled definitely much better than the gox situation, where they lied until the very end (and didn't stop lying even after that)

Vircurex is handling it the right way.

The coins can't be traded. They are completely frozen...

Vircurex has identified the amounts, the users are all informed.

The losses weren't recent but a few large players exited and left the exchange high and dry. The remaining users benefit by remaining on the exchange in the future.

On another note, vircurex needs to consider a remittance for those affected. Perhaps they should include interest on the frozen balances.

Yes maybe they should get a medal for losing their customers funds...

No.

The situation should be considered from every aspect and the focus should not fixate on the theft of the coins alone; it's old news anyways. Everybody there was informed about the theft when it happened. Good businesses are determined by the reaction to bad situations and the desire to succeed...

You can't stop all theft, it's a constant battle. You will win some and lose some... There's no such thing as theft immunity.

Bad things happen, if they weren't transparent and honest about it I would have an entirely different opinion on this matter. The manner in which they're approaching this is the best you can expect in this situation...

They haven't froze the balances yet you can still trade. Freezing will happen tomorrow.

well this is rather interesting news.  I've got an account there that I lost the password to.  I'm hoping I can contact the staff and get back into my account as I've got some alts there and I'd like to check on the current value.

Although it is crappy news atleast they communicate upfront and with honest intentions of paying back.

Hope they don't end up goxxed.

P.S. Is bitcoinbuilder already running on this one  Grin

That's not good at all, Vircurex doesn't have that much volume it'll take forever to pay these customers back from trading fees.

Expect to see the price of coins not affected on there to skyrocket as people try and get their BTC  out.

NOOOO!!! I have very much Doge coins there Cheesy

No stress, as I believe Vircurex is not MtGox Smiley

They need perhaps a day to make it up with withdraws again.

Can you read? You will only be able to withdraw what they unfreeze, and that's profit distributed on a monthly basis (and half for smallest accounts and the other half for biggest acounts).

And no problem with DOGE and most other currencies. That is, until those reserves run dry too of course.

"stolen" funds...

Bitcoin exchanges are free money generators.
