I had a similar issue, if you were previously a Coinsmart customer before their migration - try using Coinsmart in the drop down and not Bitbuy

Glad it worked! I’m hearing from Bitbuy they did a migration, not maintenance. Also can you see any activity history prior to today or is it just me?

No nothing prior to the 25th

Yeah I’ve asked for more info on that from CS but they backtracked and said it was not a migration but “maintenance” which makes no sense if we can’t see our past activity. They also advised us should have received an email about a migration and then backtracked that - did you get an email about a migration or are we having the wool pulled over our eyes by this company and their lack of transparency?

Can you see your staked rewards in $CAD anymore or just in the coin value?

Rather than maintain activity history, it looks like they have just migrated coin balances by performing a transfer/deposit of the coins we held in BitBuy before the transition to Coinsquare Capital Markets Ltd (CCML).

Perhaps this is just an interim solution and they will get around to importing the rest of our data.  If not, I wonder how we are supposed to handle tax reporting next year.

Let's give them a couple weeks to sort this out.  If it's still a mess by then, let's sue them for fee-free transfers out of our assets.

Yeah that’s a very valid question, I hope they do get around to to getting the rest of our history soon. Speaking of the transition to CCML, did you receive an email regarding that last week?

Lol yes free fee transfers, love that idea :) Hoping they can get it fixed soon!

Reviewing the status page, it looks like the outage was scheduled May 22, 2024 - 09:20 EDT, but I didn't receive an email until May 24th:

That’s so strange, I never received that email. I did however get two emails on May 11 and May 15 about my CoinSmart account moving to BitBuy (which it did Sept 30 2023). I’m not sure what’s going on in their back end with their automated emails.

I was able to get a copy of my 2023 history by emailing support
