To end any discussion that will likely come of it. No, you cannot redeem coin held on Cryptsy as per our ToS. We do not honor snapshots, or anything that involves the private keys etc associated to our wallets.

Everyone is welcome to withdraw coin to their own personal wallets if they wish to take advantage. I see more and more of these types of coins popping up and it is not a practice we will be participating in even if we list the coin.

Why not?

Best not to argue with him. He's likely sitting on a butt-load of virgin CLAMs. If he wants to leave them un-dug rather than selling them into the market then that's fine with me.

Please try not living in the past for one second and embrace the idea of a great distrubution method. Either you cater to your market, or the market leaves your exchange. With the exception of all the shitcoin markets you have listed made on http://coincreator.net/.

Or is the profit from those alone not enough that you wish to exploit fair distribution rather than promote it?

Replace CLAM whit SCAM

only a 1 letter difference boy,s ( the irony )

This isn't a arguing thread.

Stop or take it to PM.

In May of this year, we launched CLAMS.

Before launch, we distributed it all to the community, by sending an even share to each and every non-empty address in BTC, LTC, and DOGE.  We called it "proof-of-chain" - we were the first

Concerning the Cryptsy exchange:

It would mean quite a lot to us, and likely your users, if you chose to make an exception for CLAMS.  We were the first proof-of-chain crypto and it is possible the TOS may very well have even been different for your users at that time.  Of coarse, the administrators control the keys of the exchange wallets.  In the end, the CLAMS that were distributed to those addresses were intended for the users who deserve them.

That said, the liquidity and services offered by the Cryptsy exchange would serve a positive benefit to the existing CLAM community and thus we welcome the addition of CLAMS to Cryptsy.  We would only ask that if Cryptsy chooses not to claim and distribute the CLAMS to their users that there be some respect of the investment others have chosen to undertake.

If the intent is to leave the exchange wallet CLAMS unclaimed; so be it (though we think at bare minimum a middle-ground solution might be to claim and send them to the CLAM Dev bounty fund).  In the end, the person who controls the keys, control the CLAMS.  Regardless of our intent when we sent them, which was clearly to send them to the account holder of the address, not the custodial controller.

Again, regardless of the decision, I think it goes without saying that the Cryptsy platform would provide additional awareness and service for the CLAM community.  Awareness and service that would be kindly welcomed.

It is good practice to hold your own priv keys anyways.

Thanks BJ

Edit:

What if MtGox listed it... could your choice change?

But what's to stop him from just dumping everything once the price reaches a level he feels it's worth to claim them?

Nothing. We know cryptsy runs a shared wallet. Your deposit address is simply for accounting purposes. Coins you deposit to "your" deposit address are quickly moved to other address, and either used to fund withdrawals for other users or swept offline. At the point of CLAM distribution it was effectively random which users' deposit addresses were funded and which weren't. It was outside of the individual users' control.

It's hard to argue that those deposit addresses and the other addresses controlled by cryptsy don't belong to cryptsy, and that any stakes or other rewards received by those addresses don't belong to cryptsy. Whether they explicitly state that or not doesn't seem to make a difference.

I'm not saying that cryptsy shouldn't give out the CLAMs they received. The way I see it, it's their decision. It would look good if they did. It might attract business if people saw that they give out freebies like that. But if they think it's better for their bottom line to keep the CLAMs for themselves, or that it's just not even worth the effort to dig them up, then I think that's fine too.
