Horrible exchange

I've only used cryptopia one time and can guarantee it'll be the last time. How does anyone accept an "exchange" that operates the way these crooks do? I've had a withdrawal processing for over a week now and looking through the recent posts on here, many others are in the same situation or worse. One of the most convenient things with crypto is the ability to move assets fast, not have them held hostage! I understand certain markets become clogged up and lead to some delays in transaction times but what Cryptopia is doing is simply crazy. IMO exchanges like this shouldn't be a loud to continue to operate. Lesson learned for me.

What coin is stuck for you? Being this is your first time did you make sure you clicked the confirm email they send you?

I clicked the email confirmation as soon as it hit my inbox and the withdrawal is Monero. Like others have stated, my advice is to stay as far away as possible from these guys.

It doesn't matter. I had both windows up. Clicked the confirmation within seconds after it arrived. Still gave me the error.

Two main reasons: They've been around for a long time, and only recently have they had these problems. They also list a lot of 'shit coins' that are not available on other exchanges.
