Hi All,

I am unable to withdraw BTC from Cryptsy almost 24 hours now and not sure other users are experiencing the same. I got below reply from Cryptsy.Any thoughts ?

Hello xxxx,

I am really sorry for any inconvenience this may have cause you. However, we are seeing a delay when it comes to processing BTC transactions. Our technical support team is aware of this issue and they are working on a fix.

We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience.


Sincerely,
Stephanie

Withdrawal problems have been going on at crypsty for weeks...one user started a thread threatening class action. It quite a read.

personaly, I have not had problems withdrawing but the thread is full of people who are having problems

Thank you for the post. I really appreciate your post. I can also prove that Cryptsy is holding my BTCs.

There was a user here on the forum that claimed that he can get your btc withdrawal unstuck from the Cryptsy for a little fee. It's worth a try since your amount is quite considerable, over 3.3 BTCs. That's a lot of money.

I guess he has someone working on Cryptsy that can do this, if he's telling a truth of course. Try to find his thread, I don't remember exactly where did I see him advertising himself!

Good luck!

I think Cryptsy is been around long enough to be trusted with this sort of issue. Just wait and chillax.

Yeah because the fact that there are a LOT of people having withdrawal problems with Cryptsy is just so no big deal...

Cryptsy is literally falling apart! They are under federal investigation and for over a month now, people have been reporting difficulties with withdrawing their funds, even BTC funds.

Granted, they always had problems with stuck deposits and withdrawals, but never with their BTC deposits and withdrawals!

I was getting that shit from them for 5 days until I canceled my withdrawal and went for Doge and LTC. Withdraw those and sell somewhere else. Crypty s shit now.

This trick could be will work for OP. And also try to split withdraw into several amount.

If you hold 3.3 btc, try to withdraw with 0.5 btc and repeat it. If it's not working, buy some altcoin and sell into other exchange.

Might want to include a potential end-run scenario warning...

And withdraw quickly... while you still can...

juni0r, what tier level are you? That will impact how much you can withdraw.

Also, I was guy who offered to try and get stuff out of exchange.... got shit for it...as some forum members felt I was either scamming or should do it for free.

At this point don't know if what I was able to do will work for anymore anyway.

We can not trust cryptsy or another exchange, you just need to look back. In this kind of business the trust are really important, and cryptsy lost our confidence.

they dont answer to mails, tickets, they dont came to talk to the forum as before... to me all smell really bad


for now avoid cryptsy at least till they find a solution

My withdrawal is also pending since yesterday. Not that much, just about 0.5 BTC, but it sucks... I wonder if they are shutting down and going to jail along with Homero or it's just a temporary issue... :-\

the history of crypsty shitting on their customers is long and varied. All one needs to do is search this forum. But as exchanges for so many alt coins come and go.... crypsty has survived.
I am concerned that I will lose my holdings on their site but so far I have not had any problems moving coins. Today I transferred IOC to bittrex...no delays at all. I guess im lucky. I will continue to trade there....with much caution...as recent post around forum predict imminent doom for them

Ask them to cancel it and withdraw something else cause BTC u re not going to get anytime soon.

Sorry for my ignorance, who is Homero?  Why is he going to jail? Crypto realted? I guess there is some discussion on forum, can you send link?

I am tier 1 verified. I also confirmed that Cryptsy has cleared my transaction and got my BTC. Yayyyy
Note to OP : This topic can be closed now.

I ment Homero Ganza from GAW scam ;) I bought some .png pictures from him and nearly got scammed big time, but was lucky enough to about break even while selling Paycoins early for about 12-15$ each. The 20$ "floor" was still promised at that time ;)

Josh Garza's brother, right. Is he actually going to jail.. ie sentenced ...or he just being threatened in order to get him to testify. What about Josh, is awol? I guess not for this thread

No, it's actually Homero is the first name of the main scammer Ganza... That wicked CEO.. Was quite a circus for free, you know, I bet some people had lulz they would even pay some satoshies for, but let's not get off-topic here. It's time for me to get my crap out of craptsy... They seem to not process BTC transactions at all.. Going for DOGE..

Yeah, Homero s Josh. I still cant believe he s managed to avoid any serious time. At least not yet. In my book, he s crypto scammer no.1

I am tier 2 verified. I also confirmed that Cryptsy not windrawal my BTC & Dash & Exp.
I was writing a ticket, he canceled the windrawal and try again. Thus three times.
Now I write to them that windrawal manually.

I can confirm that BTC withdrawal still seems to not be working there with the same copy/paste excuses to all customers (according to chat there and including myself) about technical difficulties...
Was not going to risk and took an advice from this very thread to convert to DOGE. DOGE confirmed and was sent within first few minutes after an email click on withdraw link.
Would not recommend keeping coins there, get out while you still can.. I feel it's not gonna end well..

Lol this is an age old issue with Cryptsy, I've experienced the same thing numerous times before but there shouldn't be anything to worry about. They're one of the oldest and most trusted altcoin exchanges out there and they've never done me wrong. But it can certainly be frustrating sometimes.

Just a heads up people.  If you've got any equipment pointing or automatically depositing ethereum into Cryptsy wallets just be advised they currently appear to be FUBAR'd :/

The fact that other coins work fine for withdrawals makes it clear that there is no "technical problem" at all. The problem most likely lies in them not having enough BTC. Has anyone traced BTC withdrawals back to check the overall amount of BTC that Cryptsy is holding? These assholes running Cryptsy probably sold off BTC deposits to fiat , betting that BTC was going to take a dive, and now that it has gone up they are fucked and would need to buy BTC at more than they sold it for to honor withdrawals. Instead of admitting this, they have chosen to say "Ermegard! We cunt get dis dad gummed pooter thing wurking wright! So Sowwwy Gais!! Bubais! 8)"

yes they certainly have problems.....but you make a very bold accusation without any proof. total conjecture. really ...they took bitcoin and sold because they were speculating on price? if in fact they don't have enough btc to cover withdrawals....that would be the least plausible explanation. more likely they sold off to pay expenses and bills....or were hacked.

The fact is that the stated income from Cryptsy from "legitimate" fees does not support the ~30 or so employees Vernon says they have. Not even close. Before the change to withdrawal only fees (which hides their income amount), their income was about ~4 BTC per day. This does not support having a couple dozen tech employees and a big fancy physical office. That means they are deriving income from other means, like shorting the various coins they hold, and yes , that includes BTC. Figure it the fuck out already.

not sure where you get their stated income from as they are privately held....but feel free to suppose.
also, vern has bee awol for quite some time so I don't  know where or when you get your 30ish plus 12 tech employees from... I think that number is quite dated.
In regards to current level staffing at crypsty... straight from bitjohn on another thread... .
Maybe fees don't cover expenses but again where is your proof they are trading coins they don't own....you fucking assume a lot

Yeah Paul... to assume that legitimate revenue can't support a third world wage for "12ish" (How the fuck do you have an "ish" employee?  Is that what bitjohn calls a midget?) people is rather a large fucking assumption.

After all... they could be still living in their collective parent's basements and getting "free" electricity to run their servers...

Proof?  Nope... don't care either.  I use my own proprietary smell test and Cryptsy smells like a yeast infection (http://bfy.tw/2sYY).

The last time I checked, which was ~ May, Cryptsy's trade volume was running real close to 1,000 BTC per day. Their fees were at that time .25% . Do the fucking math yourself, dumbass. I already know for sure that this operation is crooked as a barrel of snakes. You, however, can believe whatever you want. I will stick to what I know. As far as # of Cryptsy employees, I have definitely seen various numbers claimed , and yes, I have definitely seen ~30 mentioned by BV or BJ or one of the other dirtbags involved in Cryptsy. They toss around big numbers when they are lying to try to make themselves look big, and smaller ones when they are trying to seem legitimate.  Look it up yourself if it matters to you.

P.S: How much are these scumbags paying your sorry ass to shill for them? Or is this simply a purchased account? That you Bitjohn? Where is my Prime Controller ya lying sack of dogshit?

Yes. That's what I said once Gox started to show delays.  Any exchange having unexplained problems with withdrawals is probably broke.

Remember, if they have all the customer assets they should, withdrawing won't hurt them at all. If they don't...

again you suppose...your information is wrong.... from may ....its friggin November already...paul revere ....more like rip van winkle.
I shill for them and get paid...have fun backing that up

you imply that this is a purchased account...funny your the one with multiple / purchased accounts.

also you accuse me of being bitjohn and by extension that i am a "lying sack of shit"
really? you angry man...very angry man.. lol

btw this is a much better thread than this.
One that bitjohn actually posts too...so have at him instead of accusing me of stuff.... as it make you look petty

Awe, are your feathers getting ruffled? Good.

I am really glad that I made the right decision to pull out all my cryptos from Cryptsy before the exchange collapse. It was the only right decision i made since I jumped on various cryptos back 2012 :D. I am the happy man  ;D
