I suppose Bter is running on fractional reserve for TIPS. They are having less TIPS in their pockets than all account credits show, due to the fork. Bad thing is, that Bter is the only TIPS exchange with relevant volume.
i send some TIPS to cryptopia today, 12 hours and no credited to my account yet.
the transfer problem are only in exchanges.
Cryptopia TIPS wallet is in maintenance. Your deposit should be there once the wallet comes out of maintenance.
I contacted Cryptopia yesterday for an ETA of re-enabling the TIPS wallet, but they were unable to give an estimate.
We have to focus on Bter
Dev has to clear this thing out and contact Bter, fix this mess
The original dev (invisibel) has gone long time ago and is not available anymore, testbug and teillagory tried to reach out to him without success.
IMHO, nobody can force bter to change their mind on TIPS confirmations, except maybe enough users of their exchange complaining loud and long enough.
ok maybe that too, not bad idea, but Dev Team can compare current network with Bter, make some deal that will not be some change in near future and that's it, they afraid they will lose coins in some next fork, so Dev has to clear out this issue with Bter and if Bter lose any TIPS how will Dev compensate that lost, as Bter says:
Sorry, the blockchain is not stable for TIPS, and more confirmations are required for TIPS deposit transition transaction.
Your transaction will show when there are enough confirmations.
Thank you for your patience...as I understand, everything works fine now !! that's what Bter has to know, that Fork is over and every pool and every exchange is on the same fork
