I concur. I would really rather see this returned to the Bter cold wallet and have Lin move everything in the cold wallet over to the Bter hot wallet, allow account holders to withdraw their funds, and allow them to still convert to Lisk. I have been watching the Bter cold wallet several times a day to see if the funds moved, and expected it might move at the last minute to allow withdrawals. It was a surprise to see Lin show up an hour and a half before the ICO end on Rocket to say he wanted to "manually process withdrawals" for Bter account holders. Right!
Bter is showing classic signs of insolvency and I recommend withdrawing any funds held there. For reference, the last time I made this recommendation about an exchange was last July, regarding Cryptsy:
I sent an email directly to him as well and also haven't heard anything, but I'll watch out for him today and see if I can talk to him via the trollbox.
I still don't think Cryptsy is going anywhere, but the number of down wallets sure makes me wonder WTF is going on.
Thanks. I haven't received any answer yet as well. I would be careful of Cryptsy at that point.
Cryptsy shows all of the classic signs of being insolvent. I recommend withdrawing any funds from there immediately.
