This site was my source of the 2 most invaluable lessons in crypto - Trading and Scamming. Anyone else find the UI of this and Mercatox quite similar?

Yes, similar UI, but everything looks similar in crypto. I wouldn't be surprised if the owners were the same. They're probably still holding the majority of the shitcoins or they lost the wallets when their servers crashed since most of the listed coins weren't liquid enough to dump or tradeable anywhere else. I was just reminiscing about XP clearing the $1b market cap on Jan 5, 2018 before coinsmarkets went down. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/experience-points/

Also, these scammers can still be traced with enough effort. My guess is they only got a percentage of the coin proceeds(maybe about $10m rather than $100m). They probably leverage traded it down to nothing by now. https://www.coindesk.com/theres-a-new-way-to-get-your-stolen-crypto-back

When users realized they weren't getting their funds back, they moved on with their lives. That's why scammers can keep on scamming. It takes too much effort to catch them with little reward unless you lost your life savings. I ended up making back the 4 btc I lost times 2 or 3, but I went ahead and lost that. I've finally been able to get away from crypto after two years and will hopefully be able to buy 10 btc at the end of this year.

Thanks.  I received my refund for the transaction.  You should have a HOT meter next to each ICO for people that aren't sure what to buy or low inventory alert and then automatically pull the listing rather than have people waiting hopelessly and having to ask for a refund.  Because it seems in the current system, you have to manually update the token count once you receive the payment.  Good customer service though.  It would be nice to display some sort of qty or remaining stock like only 5% of tokens remaining, 95% remaining, etc.  And then you should be cutoff if you try to purchase 10 ETH worth if less is available.

What happened with the Canya post-ICO?  Why didn't you distribute the tokens and why did you suddenly stop selling them?  I was gonna buy 20 eth worth after my 1 eth test purchase, but that went out the window when I never got my 900 tokens.  Your site mentions a delay in Ethereum/ERC20 transactions.  Why did my ETH take 5 minutes to receive but the ERC20 CAN tokens haven't been received yet after 30 hours.  I guess I can be a bag holder on etherdelta or hope the price 2Xes again tomorrow.  

Do you only distribute tokens with little demand?  My assumption is you saw a demand spike and quickly canceled the sale after it was listed on etherdelta and you could gauge the fair-market price post-ICO.  I would do the same if I had 1000 ETH worth of a token that had 2Xed already.  Currently 3.5X the post-ICO price...
Congrats to the ICO investors.  I feel sorry for the post-ICO buyers.

The price is based on future price projections.  If something is selling for .01, the site has to be greater than .01 to make money.  And as long as they haven't given you your tokens yet, but you have sent the payment, they can cancel the transaction and return your ETH if the market price has risen.  The site's goal is to maximize their profit, not create the best profits for the buyers.

Thanks for the reply.  Your site looks pretty awesome.  It's one of the only places I found where I can purchase tokens for ICOs.  I sent 1 eth for a token about 18 hours ago.  I might buy more, but I haven't received yet.  I work on the business side and invest part time, so I know how busy you can be if you don't have someone doing 24-hour monitoring of messages.

I have a couple questions.  Your site doesn't seem to have a maximum supply.  I know someone probably wouldn't buy the total supply of coins that haven't launched yet, but how do you regulate someone buying more coins that have been allocated to your platform by the coin creators?  Do you send them refunds?

The second question is when you do send tokens out if they are post-ICO?
