The whole issue, does not look very trustworthy (see the answer I got for my ticketon the first page of this thread), nevertheless I would avoid fuding Mintpal without having hard evidence. BCT has lost 20k votes, but these votes were not added to any other coin, neither none of BCT supporters has claimed he/she sent that money to buy votes.
Mintpal is fckin scam man . Just they need money . If you have own coin pay them 20-30 BTC They will add you straight away . Still funny why people making mintpal bigger when we have alternate exchanges like Bittrex , Sharex , cryptsy . I hope we are making mintpal to grow it's not good. lets make other exchanges big . We don't want any exchange to be monopoly to rule us. What you say guys?
