Man its painful watching BTC hit records highs again while our coins/fiat is tied up in limbo. Cmon BTC-e come through for us all! :/
I was like 10 minutes away from buying nearly 80 coins at the time of down fall. But a good thing for me is, if btc stays at 3800+ and btce gives me 50%, I get out without a win and without a loss. Well, I lost 1000s of hours starring at the monitor and trading (a.k.a waiting).
So you were in coins? If you get 50% of the coins back and 50% in tokens / other crypto / whatever you'll be pretty fine. Personally I was in 100% fiat at the time after selling 40:ish coins, even if I get every dollar back that would only buy me like 25 coins now
No, I was also 100% in fiat at the time of down fall. I am just saying, I was about to buy at range $25xx and withdraw for bcc split (to get bcc) and I luckily had the other half of my crypto at bitstamp.
So, unfortunately we are both in same boat. However, I doubt it makes a difference, because I do not think the 55% coins refund will be like .55 for 1 btc but instead bought at today's value. But lets see, with 55% fiat back I am still happy... and maybe the btce token will be worth something after all.
I think the exchange will do whatever benefits them the most, so it'll be coins at tomorrow's prices, not when the exchange was taken down. The only way it makes sense for them to relaunch (if they aren't a honeypot) is to make a decent cash grab. They must believe they can pull out a decent chunk of money for their retirement to risk relaunching in the face of the US government's indictment.
