The community should go with the fork that BTER and Cryptopia hopefully are both on. Default to the exchanges, and always addnode the exchanges in your wallet.
I don't think BTER even has their Bitbar clients running. I attempted a test withdrawal nearly a month ago, submitted a support ticket and got a simple "thanks"
The two big hashing pools and Cryptopia seem to be running the show right now
I sent 20 btb over a week ago, and it never showed up. I submitted a couple of tickets, and sent an email.
for now, I think bter bites.
If you recall BTER was hacked for quite a large amount a year or ago. It is very well possible they are operating in the same manner as Cryptsy had.
