Bitcoin Forum

My account at cryptsy has been blocked pending a withdrawal of 6 Bitcoins. I contacted them 2 days ago and again yesterday at the e-mail address they give on their about page (support@cryptsy.com) but I haven't had a response yet. Has this happened to anybody else? How have you gone about getting your account back?

You might want to shift this in the right section (Service Discussion) . Yes, it has happened to a lot of people, its best to not leave coins on these exchanges. They mostly require an ID to confirm and release, however you can also post it on reddit where I have seen cases like these get much more attention .
Ironically they never block withdrawals from accounts with less balances which makes it fishy in the way they run things.

I did try to confirm my account recently, but I used an out of date passport so they wouldn't accept it.

You could then send the one which is not yet expired and wait for a reply. If they don't reply after that then consider doing what I said before.

Use Reddit? I don't have a passport which is in date and it will take quite some time to order one.

You can still use some other form of identification like your driving license, else you will have to get something to verify your identity. After this if they do not respond, just post on the subreddit/bitcoin (http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin)  regarding your case as Cryptsy tends to pay more attention that ways as it can affect their reputation.

Okay, thanks for that. I don't have a driver's license either. That old passport was all I had.

Cryptsy always gets back to me.

I wouldn't worry too much at this point.

Maybe email support again.

Did you approve your withdraw email?  After you ask for a withdraw they send you a email you have to OK.

"cryptsy support" -  lol   ;D

maybe you are lucky and they will help you but please dont store coins on that shady exchange.

I accidentally missed an e-mail in which they asked for my security questions after my withdrawals. I don't know why they need TWO responses for a single withdrawal through.

Customer support is terrible wherever you go. eBay keeps blocking my account from sales because it's linking me to somebody else's blocked account and it took a 45 minute call to get it unblocked once. I'll give them a few more days then.

ebay & paypal customer support sucks but there are also some good ones like Amazon.

I certainly hope so, that's a lot of coins for me.

crypsy is a good exchange they will sort it out, their problem is that their are very slow, usually i don't trade there because besides their volume they have nothing to offer over other good exchange which are faster

all that security thing that they have enhanced, is because of all the hackers in the good old mining day in 2014

Has Cryptsy ever lost coins due to a hack on their system? 

In other words not like someone got their account pwned, but like how Poloniex and Mtgox got hacked.

No, they have never been hacked. But again, I don't think they have such large amounts of BTC in possession on their exchange.

I'm surprised anyone even uses cryptsy after big vern sucked the paycoin cock.

since they "supported" mugglecoin, people stoped "trading" there, i don't know why, i still trust in mrceo.

maybe you have use forgot before you try for withdraw you balance?? and your withdraw is not small amout maybe need id proof before you withdraw. i have same problem pending withdraw after im use forgot password and try withdraw my balance.
