They didn't get and don't have any permission from us. Complete lack of imagination to both copy the whole site layout and use a similar name.

I'd warn users against using a site that has directly copied another site.

Re: Coin2.0 [C2.0] - The forward thinking POS (FPS GAME DEV. UNDER WAY).

Further to our previous announcement regarding suspending the Coin2.0 NC2 market we would like to provide an update on our investigations. As it stands at the moment, we have been in contact with the developer regarding a large and sustained series of double spend attacks on the NC2 network.

It is our understanding that a double spend attack is possible when someone owns 51% or more of the staking coins. As not all of the coins are staked at any one time, a relatively small number of coins are required to be able to perform successful double spend attacks. Since someone has managed to perform this exact attack, they clearly own a significant number of coins and the coin network remains insecure at current.

After our investigation we have determined that our system successfully stopped the most recent series of double spend attacks however the attack has been going on for a number of days and as of this moment, we find ourselves short a significant amount of NC2 meaning we are unable to satisfy a large quantity of withdraws from the exchange.

We are still waiting to discuss the next steps with the coins developer, but at this stage it is highly likely that we will not be re-enabling the market.

We've suspended the Coin2.0 NC2/BTC market following a potential double spend attack. We're currently investigating it.

It appears the network is being heavily attacked.

Whatever, I'm still not in confidence. The votes are broken, lots of peoples spending money just to see the coin disappearing from the voting list.
You're not respecting the Monday new coins and keeping adding ****coins just because they generating volume during hype instead of be fair with the tons of ppls that sent you Bitcoin by the voting system.

I understand that as a company you want to generate money, maybe to pay servers, employees, etc... but it's kinda robbing peoples to remove a coin from the voting list for a few bots, it's also robbing to add much more coins outside the voting list.
For example you did remove the GDcoin, this coin was on the top for almost 2 weeks, maybe a bot was working on it, but I'm sure some peoples was sending money too. 2 weeks is a lot to detect a ****coin or a bot. Why do you add coins on the voting list that you don't want to see on your services and leaving them on the top during days ?

You're already generating lot of money and you keep pushing hard the wrong side to generate more and more, I feel like a sheep. It's where I'm the less confident. Like for an altcoin, I smell the hype before the dump.

We removed GDCoin because they failed to provide us with the source code properly when we requested it three times, they were fully refunded for their votes. Other than that, we have only temporarily removed (24 hours) three other coins for bot voting and since then we are removing bot votes (NOTE: this does not mean removing real votes!) 2-3 times a week as mentioned. You are definitely over-exaggerating it.

We have made it pretty clear on the site that voting coins are added once a week and we can add our own market choices outside of this how we see fit. We have been true to our word.

Mintpal does the same than Cryptsy... They first buy an alt coin in another exchange for very low, and then they add that coin in they exchange and wait till it pump to dump the coins, easy profit no risk.

I can't even take this comment seriously...

Is this your company detail?

Yes, that is correct.

Well, I hope I have got it wrong, if so, I'm sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.  I do like Mintpal, in my opninion it's one of the best Altcoin exchanges as in how the site looks and perform.
The situation that we were talking about made me not use Mintpal anymore, but I believe you when you say it's not possible. So I must have overlooked something.

No worries, based on some of the tickets recently, I think it is quite frequent that people get confused. We are quite open when things do actually go wrong, which they certainly have done in the time that we've been around, but we must also defend ourselves against things that we do not believe to be true at all.

Just to follow up, I'm afraid as we have quickly become popular, we have recently become a target of people lying. Just yesterday a handful of people came into our IRC room claiming to have lost BTC and then not being able to provide any proof about it.

While we cannot stop people from spreading misinformation, I would just like to advise users that they are welcome to try us out and see for themselves that everything works fine. 99% of our users have never had an issue, but if you do think something strange has happened then please open a support ticket. We will do our best to assure you and solve the problem if there is an issue.

I trade Bitcoins/Altcoins using various exchanges for quite a while now, and never seen such a thing. I understand that to you I might sound like I am not telling the truth.
But it did happen. I had NO BTC in my balance, I only had Bitcoin Scrypt, once I saw that I had BTC in my balance, I checked the BTCS/BTC market, and I see -> my sell order is bought by some one <- And yes it was MY sell order......

Then after browsing through the site my BTC balance was gone, and my sell order was again open........


It could be that the page at that moment showed wrong information because the page was not updated/refreshed correctly.

But as I said, it was very weird, never seen such a thing.

Again, it would have shown up in the Your Trades table if this was true, so I'm afraid you've got it wrong. If it was just in the Recent Market History as you said, it does not mean it was your trade as multiple people can have an order at the same price. I can tell you that it is is simply not possible for a trade to rollback and we have never reversed a single trade.

A surprising number of people get confused like this and write things without being sure that it happened.

Link doesn't work. Can you please update?
The link does work for me, which is strange. Search for companieshouse and use their web check functionality.

This IS true, it was with Bitcoin Scrypt. My Bitcoin Scrypt sell order was bought by someone, it also showed the transaction in the "Recent Market History" section. Looks like a reset of some kind....?? No reason for me to lie about it. I'm not hating on Mintpal in any way. Just saying it was very weird.
No, it's not possible for it to reset like that. If it was in the Recent Market History, it does not mean it was your trade, someone else might have set an order at the same price and was ahead of you in the queue. You would have seen a popup in the corner if it was your trade.

I have no idea how work the Startup in England, but they are claiming to be so. I'm finding no proof of this, even from them.

Our company registration just went through today actually. We'll follow up on our site with more details in around a week, you can check at the following link.
http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk//wcframe?name=accessCompanyInfo

We ourselves would only recommend to store funds on an exchange for trading only, otherwise keep it in your wallet.

mintpal is full of shitcoin

Thank you for that wonderful feedback.

Mintpal is corrupt

Looking forward to hearing how.

I stopped using mintpal since I once saw something really strange. I had an open sell order, and I saw some one bought my sell order and some of the sell orders above me. And this all was visible in the transaction history, where you can see the buys & sells that people made. Then suddenly everything changed, my sell order and other sell orders that were bought by some one now again appeared as open sell order section, like nothing has happened. This is very weird, my coins were sold, I had the BTC in my balance, then my BTC balance was gone, and I had my coins back.  Huh Huh

This is simply not possible and not true.

Looks like the haters are out in full force today trying to spread FUD.

Well it just prove that even if a member admited his wrong, you are punishing the whole community. I am done trading on mintpal personally its a good exchange but from a greedy admin.

Taking advantage of this situation to punish the community in order to receive even more bitcoins on voting.

What ever your trying to expose i personnaly dont care your as greedy as they come. Careless of your members thats what this story has proved.
You've been asking for proof and we have delivered it, especially after he tried to defame my character.

We're not looking to receive more bitcoins (come on, we've dismissed a 2 BTC bribe attempt by the botter), we just want to create a fair system for all and that does mean having to penalise anyone who is trying to cheat.

We will review the vote reduction tomorrow, but I can't make any guarantees at this point.

Nope. That's not what he told me. He will remove the automated votes in the future, but the 80% is fixed in stone for the 3 coins he listed

Here is an excerpt (the very last part) of my conversation with  Jay, dev of Mintpal:

(This conversation depicts the attitude of Jay who runs Mintpal. A greedy, unresponsive piece of shit)

http://i.imgur.com/VvgXDP0.png

And then I asked him for a refund of my donation

http://i.imgur.com/84NFHve.png

I agree I was somewhat agressive, but man, he didn't want to share any thought on the 80% number. Fixed in stone. He didn't want to give me a # of bot votes (which I personally approximate to be less than 10K, for sure). I couldn't get anything out of him
I had a feeling he might do this. Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the users who admitted to using 119 accounts to vote systematically for Faircoin.

Since he has decided to selectively show parts of our IRC conversion, I've posted the full unedited version to pastebin linked below, which includes him admitting to it and later trying to bribe me with 2 BTC to add FAC back after much name calling. I have nothing to hide.

You simply need to refresh, it is just a very rare UI issue that tends to happen when the market is very fast moving.

EDIT: I must also add, this was back from when we first added MZC, we have since fixed a few things to improve it.

I hope that less and less people are going to use MintPal..Every single coin that we vote for is the same,only dump..And the rest that they pick up is suddenly pumped..How you can explain that??

That we make good picks?

Also this is terribly uninformed and incorrect. SAT and UTC are examples of voting winners who are doing well.

Please don't spread this FUD, it's entirely up to the users where it goes.
