An exchange not charging trading fee?? Did they just started doing charity? Looks fishy to me.


Mintpal was a super exchange that started off fantastic and was doing really well until it got hacked for lots of vericoin, the hit caused them to sell the business.  The new owners decided they wanted to beef up the site so they took it down for a while -- a long while, at least longer than they anticipated and reported.

Well here we are a few days later and the site is back up.   Apparently the owners of the site knew the delay would cause a run on the bank, so apparently to nip that in the bud they got rid of the trading fees to encourage people keep their money in place.

Well it worked on me, I was planning to withdrawing almost everything, but after I saw no fee I decided to keep a third of what was there there.

I'm told the discount will last for a while -- I look forward to it.

People are unable to withdraw their coins and this " no trading fees" feature is probably to lure and acquire more coins.
