Bitcoin Forum

I have decided to take matters into my own hands considering so few have shed light on this topic. Before I start I would like to say that Cryptsy used to be my favorite exchange, in fact I've been using it for two years without issues. However almost two weeks ago I tried to make a BTC withdraw, the withdraw was only .6 (so not very big) and it didn't go through. I waited a day before contacting support at which I left a ticket and they promptly responded with:

I figured I would sit and wait it out.... 9 days passed and I never saw anything. Not on Cryptsy and not on the blockchain. So I made a ticket asking to cancel my withdraw, they immediately responded with:

I did alot of searching around on BTT for a new exchange and decided I wanted to use Poloniex instead of Cryptsy. My second choice was Bittrex, but Poloniex is what I chose.  Anyways, my solution.... I purchased a bunch of Monero coins (XRM) and withdrew them directly to my Poloniex account. The withdraw was instant and I had control of my bitcoins again. The sad thing is, Cryptsy is still accepting withdraws on all currencies. I strongly believe they shouldn't until this problem is resolved. But that's why I'm creating this post, to both warn new traders and to help out the existing. I hope my experience can help let people know about what's going on here. I smell another MT.GOX but just like trading, it's pure speculation. Happy holidays everyone!

Happy holidays to you as well and yep, Cryptsy is in the process of going down for good.  There are numerous other threads as well.  I used to like them as well.

It's really quite a shame, I just hope the users who are on there can get out before it's to late. On another note, I found a site (https://www.walletexplorer.com/) that lets you check the balances of each exchange. Cryptsy doesn't look to good!

Its really sad what is happening at Cryptsy. I've used since since the ice age, when Fontas would pump there.

Old habits are hard to break, but Cryptsy broke mine.
If they fixed it today, I think they're still dead. I don't see a reason to return.  Bittrex is my new homebase for alts. Don't need Cryptsy any more.

Cryptsy has an huge amount of problems as it seems. The worst with them is that they are not very upfront with what is happening there. Chat is filled with ppl that cant get their coins out and they are given bans or stupid remarks instead of valid info. Now Cryptsy have made an Chinese exchange and I think most ppl can guess why. And they are hiding the facts about it.
