the starbase team or hitbtc would need to give away their own coins to compensate you. personally i doubt that will happen. but who knows. if i were you i wouldnt count on it.
So you are saying that by a fault in their code, we get a loss of near 99%? I doubt that, it could be, but that would be a major crash for the community behind the coin. I also doubt that it's legal to fulfill such a situation without compensating investors.
its a problem that you need to take up with hitbtc. its their platform. what do you mean legal? you've paid the price that was given. no one forced you to. price on ED was way lower and yet you chose to go with hitbtc without doing your research. i understand it sucks for you, but theres only so much responsibility hitbtc or star can take in this instance.
