Topic: who lost all their btc from mintpal? (Read 5186 times)
Lets just wait few more days before deciding that all BTC is lost... they might have some technical error.
A fat fuck stole the coins.... That's about as technical as this explanation gets...

You don't seem to be following the news lately.
They have filed for bankruptcy.

This is what happens when you "trust" a centralized bank to hold your "precious," "precious," AND "precious" bitcoins! Or any altcoins for that matter. IT'S YOUR FAULT! THOSE BLOODY FATCAT JUDAIZER WILL STEAL YOUR BITCOINS LIKE THEY DID TO THE MIDDLE CLASS WITH FIAT MONEY!
I was only able to withdraw by converting my btc to pnd and then withdrawing the pnd. Everytime I tried to withdraw btc it got stuck at "awaiting confirmation" and "pending". I am good now sans about 14 million karma.
My MINT is stuck. I can't even cancel the withdraw. It just says it's "Requested" and has been for 36+ hours now. Clicking cancel does nothing. Shows the transaction id as "-1"
I want to toss out an update. After Mintpal came back up for withdrawals only, I put in my request again. It came through pretty quickly. I've heard people are having issues with BTC, but MINT at least works.
me. the password reset shit isn't working for me.
i can't log in, all my btc is gone! i had 5 btc in there....no record of me at all
moolah/moopay/mintpal still has not returned my coins I had with them prior to the v2 migration. now i assume my coins have been stolen as they did not respond to my ticket for over 3 days.
I now assume mine are stolen/lost now also. They send out the odd crap tweet about fixing things but my account is frozen, cannot log in, and no word from support for nearly a week. If you can get out do.
Moolah twiter: "A separate mechanism for withdrawing funds from MintPal while the platform is down will be made available on October 16th, 2014."
I got 1.5btc on mintpal. Hope can rescue tomorrow. We'll see.
BTW I got a friend who cannot still log in. Anyone in his place?
I've got about 1.5 btc still locked up in mintpal, withdrawals didn't go through for me yesterday
I am amazed this thread is silent when Mintpal has filed for bankruptcy.
There are more threads about MP. Anyway, some of you will probably be interested in the mintpal.exchange new domain: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mintpalexchange-new-domain-name-817295 
Cryptsy pays daily rebate on your BTC and LTC balances,.., seems to be most 'in the light' alt exchange atm
Yes. They are in this business for very long but their only problem was lagging pretty bad whenever they got heavy traffic that's why many pumpers shifted to mintpal.

MINT stuck on MINTpal. I see the irony.
lol, I hadn't even thought about that... just sucks to see all these exchanges turning out to be scams or going underwater. We need decentralized exchanges to pick up bad. The atmosphere is getting darker by the day.

You must store your cryptos in your own wallet and your own computer, not at a centralized exchange. That's what crypto currencies' goal is - people must be their own bank, not rely on third party.
It's pretty hard to trade if you have all your coins in your local wallet. Isn't it?
95% of day traders lose, so it's pretty hard to trade I agree
But if we talk about buying and hodling 3-5 cryptos with good fundamentals (the number of cryptos with decent fundamentals is pretty limited), there is no problem storing them out of a centralized exchange. When you store on a centralized exchange, you add another layer of risk. Cryptos are risky per se, why add more risk?

it doesn't matter, Mintpal should return the btc to their rightful owners.
as soon you can withdraw never use that exchange again.

Should is the right thing....
Will they? Likely not from past experience with these types of situations.
History is repeating itself for like the umpteenth time.
never store coins in exchanges - esp when they speka of upgrding.
upgrading in 90% cases = fail

Cryptsy is actually the only exchange I store my coins.. also got a rebate because of it, so that's good too.
I have 100% trust towards Cryptsy, that's because they have always responded and they are always nice towards you.
Support and trust is everything, it overweight the site. I just hope that other exchanges would see that too..
I have to agree Cryptsy support is very good, I was never left in the limbo and yes I had problems but they were solved...
meanwhile several markets still missing at Mintpal.
I've also had some problems with Cryptsy back in the days. One time I cancelled a trade order and my coins just disappeared (wasn't credited back to my balance).
Just made a ticket and they refunded me within some hours - fair and square.

BTC withdraw already disabled?
any news about restore it?

Well done, staying away from alts as the infrastructure is like BTC 2 years ago. I have lost 2 million Doge on MCXnow, and 5 million Doge on mintpal, another crypto lesson learned. Fingers crossed Crypsty are a bit more stable till I trade back to BTC, they seem to be a bit more organised.
imho bittrex has invested much effort into their ui. After you get used to it, it is a very nice interface and is easy to flow through. The opposite of mintpal right now.Yeh I am sure I have just been unlucky as most exchanges are not total F*ck ups like these two, but for me it's enough to worry about your own opsec for BTC to also be messing around with this crap as well.

MintPal before Moolah stepped in was actually really good when Jay was running the show... now I would not touch Mint with a ten-foot pole. (AVOID!)
Who remembers the XC volume at 10K on MintPal? Oh, how times change. I was one of the first to trade on the exchange at the very beginning. KARM-PENG-MINT! 
Yeah, Mintpal had huge volume lately. It was overtaking cryptsy. Jay and Jason seemed to run it pretty well, who knows. I guess they also got tired of all the problems of having to deal with 4523453 coins whose developers screw up or don't notify hard forks and so on, and cause problems at the exchange. Maybe they just saw a good opportunity to exit and took it. Who remembers the XC volume at 10K on MintPal? Oh, how times change.
I was one of the first to trade on the exchange at the very beginning. KARM-PENG-MINT! I always withdraw everything when I read news of big changes like mintpal v2 so I did not lost anything.
exchanges = centralization point, you have to be careful.
The vericoin snafu was the turning point. As far as we know, anything else could have been stolen and this could be another cryptorush. exchanges = centralization point, you have to be careful.
Did you lose your v1 transaction history? I'm not talking about coins, just transaction history. Mine's blank.
They didn't scamigrate that, as far as I know.

reset your password. it has worked for tons of people who got invalid username/pass
once you log in do not send our coins all at once. send out a minimal withdrawal as a test. then slowly send them out in increments to minimize loss in transactions.
I have never been convinced due to the lack of transparency from these businesses.
If any of you are interested, I have the http://mintpal.exchange/ new domain for sale. PM offers

I had some money on there too. When I heard moolah took over, I quickly withdrew all my BTC. After they FINALLY released their fugly exchange, I decided to move all my altcoin funds too. Now I have nothing there.
Gonna miss you, Mintpal
Gonna miss you, Mintpal
this whole thing is starting to look like sabotage/exit scam by moolah
I had an account there, but I'm glad I never deposited anything there.
Just for precaution, I have withdrawn my coins from all other exchanges as well.
