What's the easiest way to exchange FTC to BTC?

ghostlander

Bittrex is no longer an anonymous crypto exchange. You won’t be able to withdraw anything from there without verification.

paulezzz

or maybe shapeshift.io

Unfortunately shapeshift were hacked and they didn’t re-add FTC after they started up again, despite us spending a bounty to have their exchange added to the FTC wallet.

Please message them to add FTC if you wish.

Yes it becomes a problem with Bittrex. I use it with low amounts, mainly FTC sell/buy, but to receive my 0.01 BTC now I should send my very personal files with plain e-mail, anywhere, no responsibility…
If Cryptopia will close FTC market… not good for the coin…

Cryptopia have not replied, the site says wallet maintenance.

Lordas

Under maintenance they write: Wallet update.
Maybe all will be ok :fingers_crossed:

I am hoping all is OK with FTC at Cryptopia. They have accepted further FTC that has been sent in and sales and orders for FTC are still going through …

wrapper

Cryptopia have replied. They have updated the wallet and it is re-syncing.

They say they are de-listing FTC because devs caused a fork (which they followed). It appears they didn’t maintain the FTC wallet so it was greater than 2 version behind.

I have appealed against that decision and have asked them to reconsider. I have pointed out the significant income they get from FTC from the > $30K exchanged per day and suggested they provide some contact so that this mode of failure doesn’t happen again.

@wrapper Too late to say, but may add that many will migrate from Bittrex here.

Any news about Cryptopia?
I see the coin status is “Delisting”… Very strange for gold rated coin…

And FTCC with 0 nodes and dead wallet is “Active”.

They have currently gone from 2 employees to 45, so it looks like they still have manpower issues. x fingers they’re back to accepting FTC soon, they have written to me twice to promise that.

Did you ever try to withdraw fiat money for Feathercoins? It is really possible in GetEx exchange, as it is said at their project presentation at the website. It is worth waiting for a little before it will be opened.
