hope they will not disappear, don't know are there already alternatives planned, if .. yes if bter just disappears (hopefully not)?
We have had internal discussions on how to react to "the Bter Problem". As of now, the decision is to wait and see what they do, as the ball is in their court. Also, we are just one of about 90 coins that are affected. It is a long line.
The slowness of Bter's response to enable withdrawals of any coin, indicates to me that they are lacking in leadership, and that they either do not have any set plan or strategy for coin withdrawals, or they do not have the coins and are using delay tactics.
Its not umcommon for exchanges to sell some of the coins into the market to fund their operation, because they know that ALL the coins are never withdrawn, so they can use the average balances for speculation by selling at a hopeful HIGH, and either buying back at a LOW, or waiting for the coin to go dark and its blockchain to disappear from the net.
As the situation changes with Bter, we will be re-evaluating our options.
