Tip exchange, alcurex,28 days deposite time,cryptopia will close it.
I'm a TIPS owner, but lets take a honest look. There is difference comparing to ltc and btc - huge market and huge hype about them. Who knows about TIPS, latest reference in online magazine was in Jan 19, 2015? Where we can use TIPS (except BTER, from which you can't even withdraw them) Market size is very small. Who can explain what was the real reason of TIPS price increasing now?
I know,A group(China) continue buy tips,Over one year, But i do not know ,What they will do in future, They do not appear community,Because fork recently,I think they will do something for tips,No one want value lost, As a tips owner ,It is luck.
We need exchange ,Expect China,Unfortunately,Cryptopia lost tips because fork
