@Vlad :-)
Thank you, its just my relaxing view,
see so much shit in cryptoworld, this little storry is not much enough, to make me panic :-)

@frogpoet
i get a discussion with the service peoples from cryptopia,
longer before i wrote my few here.
First one,
lought me out, about my "stupid" question.
I remeber him, we all pay for the service he/they give us.
Second one,
did not lought, he wrote a answer like a panic man. :-)
I can not get the message from him, to show it, very big sorry.
Have to much screenshots from crazy thinks :-)
I did forget, to make new ones. :-)
But he wrote a complete side of words,
to tell me what is behind the problem. :-)
I just did tell him my point and ask him,
how i should use a exchange with bigger money than a few dollars?
with this ultra fast support of there coins.^^
Problem is exchage,
like often in cryptoworld.
Centralize exchange, work not good with decentralice produkts. :-)
Croptopia should work for me,
one times more, if it does not,
we can read us about it, on steemit or so. ;-)
In the end, if our coins are on our wallet, all should be good.
Never trust exchanges, can not be say enought,
for all the new crypto-user behind us.
15000 of it, for 3000 coins talks for itself :-)
Building hardware and have exchanges,
makes better money than use the produkt.
Old problem, on a new playground.

But i am a Nobody and i would read about those thinks,
from the Bitcore Team.
New Pictures with News looks good.
Trancparency overview of working with those problems,
should work better. ;-)

Not just from us Hype Users. ;-)

Pump buy is over,
new or old wale born/upgradet
and it should get you all a better view,
how much other see in this Coin.
For me i like him again.
Greetings
Alu

with regards to what the person from cryptopia told you, don't let it worry you. in my opinion there is NO such thing as a "stupid question."

when you were conversing with them, were you discussing the problem that others have put on here about withdrawing funds? or were you discussing the unusual 100,000 dollar trade with five subsequent 20,000 dollar fills, which served to triple the volume for BTX on that one day?

if it was about the trade, those things can be tracked with the right tools to figure out if something is truly shady or not. Forensic investigators do that when tracking down people engaging in ransomware who use crypto as the payment method - one such tool is Maltego. to see how an investigator would use this, go here : https://www.ethicalhacker.net/eh-net-tv/eh-net-live/video-blockchain-hacking-for-investigating-cryptocurrencies/ and then go 53 minutes into the video. (actually you have to be a member of ethicalHacker but it is free to join). there are other videos on YouTube, but I like this one because I trust the person giving the video.

there are other ways, too. after reading your post I went to the cryptopia site and realized they had two APIs - one publicly accessible and the other one 'private' where they assign you a token to call the APIs. (public API docs : https://support.cryptopia.co.nz/csm?id=kb_article&sys_id=40e9c310dbf9130084ed147a3a9619eb ; private API docs : https://support.cryptopia.co.nz/csm?id=kb_article&sys_id=a75703dcdbb9130084ed147a3a9619bc ). This means that even if you didn't want to use Maltego, which is proprietary software, you could write your own utility using those API calls. It would be restricted to tracking down trades on cryptopia of course, but you could eventually track them down.

i'm not convinced, by the way, that it was necessarily something shady. It could have just been partial orders fulfilling a larger order - sometimes people specifically buy and sell in round increments (like increments of 100) because it is easier to break orders into partial orders and fill larger trades that way, at least on the stock market. I assume something similar would apply to coin exchanges.
