It's weird because I'm still torn on rather this is a scam or not. The worst or most damning evidence to say this is a scam is certainly the ongoing freeze on accessing BTC/LTC or big coins. And there has not been adequate communication from CM regarding why these particular coins are still frozen. I could speculate positively and say that CM is acting responsibly regarding BTC/LTC while assuring accurate accounting. I could further speculate that accounts on these boards and other places of various BTC addresses cited as "evidence" simply aren't accurate. I don't know anyone here there or anywhere in person so I'm in no position to judge accurately.
Of course, it is just as easy to speculate negatively and assume that all the claims we read here are honest and that every "newbie" account isn't just here to troll. Even that sounds optimistic on my part... sorry.
It's just hard for me because every release has some coin that I actually have some interest in. First, ECA... I don't have coins but I've chatted at length with some in the community including some developers and they seem genuine. Then it was Goa. Again, not the best coin but it seems clear the community is strong and active development. Now it is Yenten. Nice CPU minable coin that has had my interest since it went mainnet.
But for CM to validate themselves, they really need to actually communicate about the BTC/LTC (do they have ETH?) situation. They need to tell us what is going on with the big coins. Personally, I don't have the big coins in here... I mean I did for a while but just as timing worked out didn't have the big coins tied up when CM froze up.
Anyhow... I know there seems to have been some pressure on these guys to keep the releases going. I hope that pressure is still being applied.
But mostly I just wish CM would start behaving responsibly as a business and start communicating better. Oh... and RELEASE ALL THE COINS... thx
For a long time, I was "on the fence" as well. One day, I thought, "these d-bags are scamming us all" and the next, "maybe they are legit and just having issues". But now, as time has dragged on, it just seems to me that they are "floating" the high valued coins to maybe recoup losses.. The reason for the losses could be due to any number of scenarios and tbh, I am tired of speculating as to why. I'm certainly not the most technical of those that have had their coins frozen at Coinsmarkets, so I have to resort to basic logic when trying to figure out what is going on. Which brings me back to the question of, why they would release the low-demand coins first? Especially after posting the update, "Trading will be enabled again in a few hours" well over a month ago. I have been around the block a few times in my life and am fairly deft at sniffing out deception, and CoinsMarkets as of late has that familiar stench. Maybe my not being a developer or understanding how coding works has given me the wrong opinion. Maybe there is a legitimate reason for releasing the shit coins first. I do agree with you, a little communication would have gone a long way, but the fact that they have done little to none of that, only adds to my suspicions.
