Has anyone really traded on that C-Patex exchange? Every time I looked there was almost no volume.

Isn't it easier to process one signed message confirming the address than studying all those screenshots, typing txids and amounts, making a summary of them? Saves a lot of time on your side.

They were all trashed and gone by the time you announced your refund policy. Maybe you invite Nayiem to the conversation as he seems to be the tech guy behind Altilly?

It is, but wallet screenshots don't actually prove anything. Import any address as watch-only and it will look like you own it. I mean the complete transaction history will be there. However no private key, nothing can be spent.

1. Yep, I keep it tight. Never felt like I need to keep every single deposit, withdrawal, login email.

2. There could be some left in trash, but they were long gone by the time when Altilly announced those emails were must have.

3. PXC is a Bitcoin fork made in spring of 2013. Probably one of the first 20 coins ever made. Sure there's a working wallet, block explorer, etc.

Okay Charles, do you realize there's no reasonable way I could make 1118 screenshots of emails even if I had those? It takes days and nights.

Usernames and emails are largely irrelevant in crypto world. Where you should start is your main hot wallet address where all deposits eventually ended and all withdrawals came from. It was only one for most coins listed on your exchange. Doesn't take much chain analysis to locate it. Then you compile a list of addresses which funded it. Every such address belongs to one user of your exchange. You make another list of external addresses which were actually used to send coins to your exchange, one list per user. All of it can be scripted. Every user has to prove ownership of his addresses. The universal way of doing it is by signing a message like "User XXX email YYY claims address ZZZ used for Altilly deposits" with his private key. You verify it with the public key, match deposit tx's and amounts. That's all.

Yeah, it's actually easy to find out who deposited how much. Every user had a single deposit address for every coin listed there.

Cryptopia was also hacked and they lost their DB, too, but you could actually reason with the liquidators and prove ownership manually. These Altilly guys just don't listen to common sense. Less they pay out, more they save for themselves.

Just in case any of you here expect a refund from Altilly. If you don't have all their deposit confirmation emails, they give you nothing. That's a scam.

Altilly Exchange FAKE Refunds, Possible Exit Scam

Altilly is starting to smell like an exit scam

Altilly Exchange FAKE Refunds, Possible Exit Scam

Altilly was hacked in late December, 2020. I don't know what exactly happened there. The ops said it was a hack and all exchange data including wallets were deleted. I didn't see a police report or forensic analysis or whatever. I didn't really buy what the ops said, but they promised to refund everyone, so okay. I filled the refund form like everyone else. It's a year after the hack now, they finish processing these forms and the real fun begins. Looks like they are not going to refund me at all.

Here's how stuff worked on this exchange. Every user got a deposit address. Once a deposit cleared, a script transferred it automatically to their hot wallet which was used to fund withdrawals. Looks like they didn't have cold storage and didn't even have private key backups of that hot wallet (WTF really?).

Back to my case. I had 529k Phoenixcoin (PXC) deposited there. That was like 0.2 BTC at the hack time. Mostly mined coins, so there were 1118 deposits. Sure thing I didn't keep all those deposit confirmation emails in my mailbox once the deposits were confirmed. Why should I? Now these exchange ops say they are not going to refund me anything without all those emails. How convenient, huh? I still have access to my mining wallets, told them my deposit address, even told them their main hot wallet address in case they couldn't figure it out. BTW there are 6.6 million PXC stuck, it's like 7% of the total supply.

I bet no one else claimed my deposit address, but I even offered them to sign a message with privkeys of my mining addresses to prove they're mine. Nope, they rejected. Must be too complicated for them. Show the emails or piss off. Now it sounds like a SCAM.

I don't think most of these people who have mined GAP over the years and keep mining, care too much about profits.

Is it like a way to borrow coins for short and long positions?

Methinks this coin features a very high percentage of Linux folks.

That thing is a simple 32-bit single core ARM Cortex-A9 666MHz SOC. It isn't an FPGA. It runs some kind of Linux kernel most likely and can be programmed just like any ARM chip. A Gapcoin miner can be integrated probably, but it will serve no practical purpose performance wise.

It was me actually who paid most of the fee to get Gapcoin on Cryptopia back in 2016 for about 0.2 BTC. It didn't seem much those days, but anyway.

A simple Atom based netbook consumes next to nothing. Gapcoin sync is slow because prime gap verification is much slower than PoW hash verification of most algos.

This MAX_MONEY thing doesn't mean a real shit. It's just how many coins may be sent in a single tx. Can put a gazillion there and the wallet will work just fine.

Haha, you made my day. Look at the source code. There is no maх supply limit. 20% min yearly interest rate, 250 coins per stake max.

WTF are you talking about? HBN has no coin supply limit

How can this shit exchange have over 300k tokens for sale with only 44k coins burned at 10:1 rate?
