The New Zealand cryptocurrency exchange Cryptopia, which suffered from the actions of hackers in mid-January, transferred half of the 457 cryptocurrencies presented in the listing into purses with new private keys.
We are 50% through securing all 457 coins listed to new private keys. If you have an API, you can’t have it.

“Do not forget to close any unwanted orders, as the markets open alternately. And also update 2FA, API-keys and password, if you haven’t already done this, ”the site addressed to users.
At the same time, withdrawal is still unavailable. In the comments to the tweet, Cryptopia customers were outraged by the protracted exchange recovery process.
Why are you not letting people?

“Why do you not allow the withdrawal of coins that are already on safe wallets?”
It was 25% on 1/03, then 35% on 14/03 and now 50% on 4/04. With this speed kept, we can anticipate full-service mode in June.

“March 1 was 25%, March 14 – 35%, now – 50%. At this pace, we can expect full functionality to be restored in June. ”
Especially people are outraged by the fact that all this happens during a period of active growth in the price of Bitcoin.
There are some huge profits on the market this days. Think again why cryptopia can not make withdraws. How can you be positive about this?

“Now the market gives a huge profit. Think again why the withdrawal is closed. Maybe because Cryptopia is trying to cover losses with our growing assets? ”
Recall that Cryptopia has been trying to restore functionality since February. The exchange has already resumed trading in 40 cryptocurrency pairs and activated the API. Also, the site management announced its intention to return funds to affected users and has already credited tokens to users' accounts, which fix the amount of payments due to them.
According to estimates of the analytical company Elementus, as a result of a hack, hackers stole $ 16 million from Cryptopia. Soon this amount increased by another $ 3.2 million . The site itself claimed that in the worst case scenario, it lost a maximum of 9.4% of all its funds .
