Anyone knows which was the block of the snapshot?

Was there any kind of fork 4 hours before the snapshot?

Thanks

Hi,
Our records show Block # 3824826 as the block your coins were sent in and the fork block was 3823787, therefore these coins came in after fork.
Thank you,

Ryan


Which was the block of the snapshot?

Can somebody please verify this?

Delegate Participation on the Official Chain dropped off of a cliff.   No exchange should have processed deposits with such low delegate participation.

Not sure i understand you. I sent the funds 4 Hours before the snapshot. I have been listening the Bitshares Telegram chat with frequent participation statistics. I think i can find what rate of participation was hourly.

Here it is BITSHARES TELEGRAM CHAT and FAV stating how at 15:02 GMT+1 there was a "blockchain_average_delegate_participation": "89.38 %",  -> http://i.imgur.com/WDW4TgH.png
That was at 9:02 AM, with FAV saying "Now it is dead". So there were not delegate participation problems at all when i sent the money 4 HOURS BEFORE THAN THAT

If you send 4 hours before - don't worry - your fund safe and your account will be unlocked after Bittrex did investigation.

So does BITTREX have my money in their 0.9.x WALLET PRIVATE KEY even if they didn't migrate or whatever or they DON'T ??

They are doing it to prevent significant loss of funds.
Do not worry if you send them your coins before the fork, they will figure this one out and unlock your funds.

They are at risk because somebody could of deposited worthless BTS1.0 coins to the exchange after the fork, sold them for BTC or some other alt and then run with those good coins, leaving the exchange liable for the loss.

They are in the process of investigation if something was done wrong, so they blocked your account just in case, until they figure out what is going on.

I sent 200.000 BTS to Bittrex at 11:06 CEST 13 October. This is 4 HOURS BEFORE SNAPSHOT at 9:00 AM EST. Time conversion table here -> http://i.imgur.com/yhENOjA.png

So even if they needed so much time for their preparation for the upgrade, they still HAVE EFFECTIVELY the private keys of my BTS in THEIR Wallet.

I didn't even trade, just held my coins there.

Today I received a mail from them, saying that they opened a case and have locked my funds, along with all alts. All the account locked.

So they are saying that they were not informed of the migration:

Hi,
I'm opening a ticket to inform you that we have locked your account while we investigate a rollback of BTS transactions that happened after the BTS 2.0 rollout which Bittrex was not informed about. I will reply to this ticket when we have more information.
Thank you,

Ryan


So it seems some idiot (guess who) is going to pay with his money for nobody informing them. (Or they are lying)
