Does anyone happen to have a list of all the exchanges that the MAID token has ever been listed on?
I’ll have a go:
MasterExchange
which became… ?
Poloniex
Bittrex
HitBTC
At least one I forget
BitMart
Plus Dex I don’t recall…
MAID? Or EMAID as well?
There was P2PB2B for a hot minute
I’m asking because ive been following Safenetwork for around 8 years. I’ve dabbled in crypto, but only projects I’m interested in, AKA alt coins. I’ve opened so many accounts over the years, that I’ve found myself a bit confused with passwords and logins on different computers, bits of paper, etc. My MAID tokens are in an Omni wallet, but I can’t shake the nagging feeling I’ve left some coins on an exchange somewhere.
I’ve only purchased MAID.
Quote from the [How To]: Buy/Move/Store OMNI MAID :safe: hardware and software wallets
This guide provides information on how to buy and move your MAID from an exchange.
Of course, you can buy and hold the MAID on the exchange, but then they are not yours! The normal thing, the responsible thing is that you move them to your wallet.
Why?
We (and the entire crypto world) have a very bad history with the centralized exchanges (CEX):
- Bittrex - closed, how much MAID remained there? over 7 million at the moment
- Coinspot - delist MAID, how much MAID remained there? Unknown
- MasterXchange - closed, how much MAID remained there? Unknown (do you remember that we paid them 150 MAID withdraw fee?)
- Cryptopia - hacked, how much MAID was stolen there? Unknown (I lost “only” a few thousand…)
- Bitker - stole MAID from the MaidSafe company, how much? around 250 000 MAID
- Poloniex - delist MAID, how much MAID remained there? Over 10 000 000 MAID! (and let’s not forget before that they changed the fees from 10 MAID to 80 MAID!)
- Chainrift - closed, how much MAID remained there? Unknown
- Open Ledger DEX - (exit scam), how much MAID remained there? 551 035 MAID
- Altilly - exit scam, how much MAID was stolen there? Unknown
Privacy. Security. Freedom
That’s why creating EMAID was so important.
Thanks Dimitar for this comprehensive narrative of all the centralized exchanges that stabbed Maidsafe in the back.
First exchange I used, I didn’t know it had been hacked. I was alerted by creditkarma
