I've been trying to withdraw from mintpal, its been a couple hours and still no transaction...wtf.

From their twitter account:
@MintPalExchange
All BTC withdrawal requests are currently being processed manually, next run will be in the morning.

Is karma still considered "cheap"?

is it gonna hit cryptsy for sure?

Ahhh.  Thats not acceptable IMO.  If your exchange fails, you're responsible for getting the transactions through ASAP and not putting it off till the morning if thats what that means. 

Mintpal has a nice interface, but I really don't want to be a part of the testing phase. It's real money we're talking about.

I understand the problems they're having, but if they're going to keep their site up and allow people to withdraw without telling them their withdrawal engine is dead, then they should be actively manually fulfilling the transactions and not putting it off.  I would be very ok with them shutting down withdrawals so people don't get their coins stuck in purgatory until they decide to work on it.

If Mintpal was my exchange I wouldn't sleep until everything was done. And then I still wouldn't sleep, to make sure everything is working properly. And then constant 24/7 monitoring.

But, anyway, this thread is about Karma.

A recap:

-Karma is awesome, because the dev is awesome. And what Karma is doing is awesome.

-Karma is not coingen. I was thinking this originally but I did some research and it is NOT coingen. (Yes, you can find "karmacoin" on coingen but it doesn't mean that this particular coin is from there.) This is important because it means the dev is honest.

-Please stop asking the dev about coingen. He's already answered this at least twice. Let them focus on important stuff.

-You and I can help make this coin widespread!

Why am I in the mintpal order no deal??

selling     0.00000005BTC.... no deal

coinmarket.io has been the most professional exchange I've dealt with so far.
