Cryptopia Smart Cash **Very Fishy Story**

in smartcash •  7 years ago 

Cryptopia holds customers Smart Cash hostage until right AFTER this months snapshot causing them to miss out on next months Smart Rewards. For two weeks they had no fix and no updates for customers. They magically found a fix to the wallet to allow deposits and withdraws on frozen funds just hours after the Smart rewards were paid out.

Ahhh, that is terrible, and looks to be smoke, and where smoke is there usually is a fire.

Even the exchanges want some SMARTCASH dividends lol....I would have bet my whole crypto portfolio that they were waiting until the 25th to allow withdrawals....A lot of exchanges did the same thing with NEO and their stack with GAS...It is just how cryptos roll right now.

shows how important it is to do not trust the exchanges. They are not your friend. They are here to make money out of you! Which is fair but dont forget that some could be run by from a dude out of his mums basement.

On a side note I have ordered my first Mexican Silver coins as you recommended them in one of your older posts. They have not arrived yet but looking forward to them.

Libertads are beautiful.....your gonna love them

Man it's sad what happened with people missing out on the rewards, but a lot of people made at least 3-4 times more than what they would have with the rewards because It kept raining on discord, but a real shame on cryptopia's part.

I made like 5-6 times with the rain than what i got paid yesterday for the rewards xD xD

I just signed up for cryptobridge, but still not trading there. Waiting for more people to review that exchange!!

Crypto-bridge is amazing i can only recommend it, plus it has the most liquidity for SmartCash.

I would agree that it's extremely frustrating that they only opened the wallets today. From everything I've read they were extremely overwhelmed. SmartCash was partially to blame for the trading shutting down as it was them trying to undo the coins being dumped from a vulnerability in zerocoin being exploited. There was also a large number of transactions that had to be rolled back and accounts balanced. This perfect storm of garbage put us in the position we are in.

That being said I do feel that they could have dedicated more resources to getting the wallet back online so their customers could withdraw in time for the snapshot to earn smartrewards. My conspiracy theory is they didn't as a form of punishment for all the harassment they received from their angry customers.

I do agree that I will cease trading on Cryptopia and withdrawn all coins from them.

Also did you spin up any SmartCash nodes? If so are you going to do a video on it?

Looking forward to your future posts.

I decided not to make any smart nodes, it's not really worth my time. I hold a lot of smart so just gonna stack the rewards up for a couple years.

Ahh, that makes sense. Especially if you hold a large chunk in a wallet. Withdrawing the 10k to start a node may end up costing you more than 10k in rewards.

Thanks for the response and all your videos. I wish I had taken your advice before about taking my coins off the exchanges. Better believe I'm listening now.

very good video dear @broncnutz

The only valid reasons your SMART was left on Cryptopia

  1. You bought more than you could transfer out before they shut down wallet
  2. You moved some over to Cryptopia to sell and they shut down wallets before you could sell.

If not, you just didn't have a sense of urgency. Like Broncnutz addressed. You don't get burned until you do. Then you are sorry because nobody can help you.

Good heads up on some great info. I like your assumptions too but who knows for sure? So the snartcash wallets are safe? Good to know and again great suggestion.

Smart wallets are safe

Lefty has been summoned by broncnutz to pay cryptopia a visit and ask if we look like f'n clowns.

Great information @broncnutz! Another video keeping me up past my bed time but I can't go to bed without watching! Keep it up cuz!

Thanks for reporting on this. Shame on you Cryptopia!

Heard they're still giving Rewards to the people who would have gotten them? Idk, but thats what they need to do. What they did is so frustrating, especially since it was right after or right as they shut down the Doge and LTC markets. They havent been very good since the New Year started, but hopefully it gets better. It was my first exchange and im still there so i guess thats all I can do. HOPE LOL

Nobody got any rewards as far as I know.

Did you get your #SmartCash for holding? Might be interested in buying some in person! Is the new Circulating amount 20% more than last month?

I'll sell you what ever you want to buy for Smart. You can pay how ever you want. You gotta buy 1000 tokens to stake it for rewards.

Damn, that sucks, they were obviously just holding to get the reward. SmartCash looks great though!

100% bullshit on their part. They seemed dishonest about it from the get go. Cryptopia is doomed in my eyes

that could be a very big problem i just had started cryptopia to trade some coins , after this i need to think twice to start with it. i want safe and eazy trading. and thank you for your kind information @broncnutz

Thanks for the update @broncnutz. I have been waiting for it to free up...madenning! I had a friend who had his Doge locked in for weeks when they shut that exchange down. Shady indeed!

Decentralized exchanges are the future!

they essentially become too quick for this situation however that is excessively time now should begin by and by so they can recover their coins

very informative video @broncnutz.

I've seen your video for the very first time and I'm pleased to watch your video which is really helpful and informative about smart cash. I heard this term first time because I used buttrex for trading and I trust that site much.

Thank you for lettering us know more about this. Hope they will fix it soon. I would love to hear from your side more in the future. @broncnutz

It's furstrating and depressing news. I didn't use cryptopia smart cash wallet yet. I thought it seems not good to trade coins. So, I go for binance and poloniex.

Looking forward to your more useful such videos. I alsow atch your videos on YouTube. Keep sharing such stuff with us and such news.

BTW, Where is your hat today? :P

Wow very good video sir. try to love work. good Luke.
Thanks @broncnutz
Have great day.

too handsome 719 west west?

Thank you for this! I think your point that they don't care if they lose a few customers is spot on. It is the wild west out here and I appreciate that you are willing to share your experience. Thanks, @broncnutz!

Kind of very fishy for sure after hearing this from you and now they fixed it dammm

they simply grown too fast in this case but that's too much time now should start once again so that they can get their coins back

thanks for sharing this bro first of all so that we all don't go blindly behind that thanks for sharing this much needed information

it's bad these things produce bad impact on customers and they start losing trust on exchanges, i hope cryptopia will fix this soon, thanks for stay us updated, Stay blessed

Guess who finally understands what you mean by “get your cash into a private wallet.” Me!

A while back you said you’d go over some security features, and give advice as to how to protect your crypto.

You’ve mentioned, keeping your steem in steempower, getting your coins into private wallets, and getting a ... (if si knew what I was talking about Id be googling this).

Any other Tips or how’s.

Thanks you :)

Sounds a lot like when exchanges take customers' entire bankrolls by shutting down trading and claiming their margin positions got blown out, just a bunch of shady shit going on repeatedly.

they were playing with it when the prices were on high too and seems like they are doing well with this strategy

fishy story just turned out to be real i was hoping that there is going on and i was right about that better move smart cash from there

My 17000+ SMART held hostage. Feel sorry to myself I missed SmartRewards snapshot. Just these morning I withdraw it.

Great information about shaddy Cryptopia. withdraw all smartcash..

i dont have any smartcash only have $100 in Ethereum now worth $300

just struggling through tough times.. heh.. but i really need to figure out a good exchange to get in.

i want to understand about crypto-bridge.. i need something like that.. are there any out there?

I found this youtube video

smartcash just fix their problem and running their all regular transaction, thanks for your information.

this is not a good way for any exchange to keep going the trust factor will seemly go down with this

I really don't think they care. They have too much business as it is already

I started in crypto with Electroneum so naturally being forced to use cryptopia as my first exchange i got comfortable using it, after a month or so i switched to binance and bittrex and then i realized how shady cryptopia really is. I'm in the process I'm moving all my coins from there into paper wallets then ill be happy to shut down my cryptopia account for good!

Thanks for the update on SmartCash/Cryptopia. I'm just starting to collect some BitShares, but wasn't aware of the other decentralized exchanges you mentioned. I should probably familiarize myself with all of them since liquidity on many pairs in BTS isn't so great at this time.

cryptopia is a magic in itself half of the time it wont' work me lol

well i was not aware about it cryptopia seems to be really playing with us all :/

Hi Sir. happy to see you again with a valuable info post. by the way, ​if we get smartcash to smart rewards online wallet now will we get​ the stake reward??? any grace period to snapshot​ for us??

No, the snapshot unfortunately already happened and it'll only happen again on february 25th.

it means once in a year?????

Once every month

ok thanx a lot

Daily Learn some new from your post. Love to read it.

smart cash was the only thing down and i had there and can't move in and out need to check now what will happen lets see thanks for sharing this video

Thanks for the tip. I will keep away from Cryptopia! Decentralized it is!

Yup, Cryptopia has fallen to the wayside as of late. There was a similar boondoggle when they delisted SAFEX. I won't be using them in the future. Once ETHOS platform launches, this will all be delegated to the dustbin of crypto history along with Coinbase. Can't wait! Thanks @broncnutz.

i too had there mine some and i gave up and was thinking to sold all these exchanges do things like these makes me unhappy

@broncnutz - Thank you for this valuable news Sir... Your videos are really useful & very informative to crypto lovers & investors... Keep it up Sir...

+W+

Smells like fish to me too :/. Kinda BS they could do that.

That's a bummer Cryptopia did that. Wow they had a smart wallet where they collected some Smartcash and then released coins... another one bites the dust. Get out fast. Decentralized exchanges are key.

Never used Cryptopia. I use Bittrex and CoinBase. What do you think about the RobinHood news...I'm sure CoinBase isn't thrilled LOL. I actually signed up for Robinhood 2 weeks ago for stocks and when you sign up they give you a free stock. I got Sirius (SIRI). Only worth about $5, but still cool nonetheless! I wonder if they'll do any type of similar promotion for Crypto!

...They seem like a very progressive company with the user in mind first and making efforts to grow!

Bittrex and Coinbase do not offer SMART. There are only a few exchanges that do at this time.

So sad about Cryptopia. Even worse look at what happened with Coincheck and NEM earlier today. Larger jack than My GOX. Last estimate was $535 million in NEM tokens. Keep your money off exchanges unless you are actively trading.

Talked to my mom today about you, I think she is gonna make you thier new accountant

I never used Cryptopia, first time i heard about them, but now i'm 100% sure not to use them, i mainly use binance and coinbase and a ledger of course, never trust a exchange with your money, BE YOUR OWN BANK
Thanks for the post, keep the information coming my friend

I am @babangsunan really like your post every there is your post I do not forget upvote thank you friends have shared things that visit my blog @babangsunan interesting i love you

I took all my crypto out of cryptopia their website was so laggy and slow and i have good internet service most of these exchanges out thre are a dam joke i would keep more than a hundred bucks in any of them

I mentioned the frustration I experience about 3 weeks ago. First and only time I used their exchange. They didn't even bother responding to our issues. Literally stole our money...

Holding smart cash is a bad thing . Very unhappiness

@broncnutz gute idee aber sein gesicht ist so bekannt dass das quiz zu einfach wird^^

thx for shereing

tnanks for sharing about bitcoin & cryptocurryency.
waiting for your next blog

Your post has alot for information .Thanks for sharing about smartcash with us :)

Coinexange.io sadly also have Smart "wallet undergoing maintenance"

Cryptopia halted their exchange and wallet, HitBTC only halted their wallets, so people that had their SMART on HitBTC are still able to trade, they just can't deposit/withdraw yet.

Nice post Bronc Nutz...I am glad to say I got my coins out of the exchange quickly. Its unfortunate there is all kinds of "shady" things that can happen. I makes the space uninviting to the masses...

This is good informative post.upvoated @broncnutz

This was extremely frustrating for many users! The timing was very sketchy to be honest! I really want to believe people do the right thing, but I'm not sure this was the case with Cryptopia. I expect the SmartCash team will have a response at some point soon about it.

I hate Cryptopia and have had a lot of holding issues.
