Please stop posting FUD about CoinEx, we will issue an announcement within next 24hrs about how we are going to handle the situation.

Long story short: yes, our wallet server got hacked and all funds were withdrawn.

Please read back to the beginning of this thread, we had such a problem before and *returned all the stolen funds from our own pockets*. Before this hack happened, we also had several attacks that lost funds and we silently covered those from our fees.

For those who was stalking me at internets: thats true, i was trying to hide/delete my accounts. At the very first moment i saw zero balance at our bitcoin wallet i knew this was coming. And it scared the shit out of me. Hope you can understand that.
About me selling bitcoins at localbitcoins.com: thats true too. I have 33mh/s scrypt gpu mining farm, I have >50% of coinex fees + I get % from cryptostocks share sells. Nothing criminal here again.

So again, please calm down. We are not doing a runner.

The only way i can see to restore this is to sell more shares at cryptostocks to cover the losses *and to hire a professional security audit team to prevent this from happening again*.
Long story short, we're covering this from our own pockets again.

Thanks

Thanks for the announcement. CoinEx is one of my favorite exchanges because things actually work quickly, and I'm not waiting for funds for hours, days or months, such as from Cryptsy.

 I had about $20 to $40 or so on the site - not too bad, and withdrew mining profits daily. You guys have always responded to my help tickets in an hour or two or less. You've always taken care of things.

While security and not having a double verification system is obviously risky, and while the site obviously needs security improvements, I'll be back if you are.

Losing .65 LTC, .015 BTC, half an Uno and some other shit coins mined in 24 hours before the hack won't kill me. Though I did want those open source coins. Damnit.

I hope you recover, get some insurance, and better security. I don't like to use Cryptsy.
