or its just me?

It's not just you! http://www.cryptsy.com looks down from here.
http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/www.cryptsy.com

was just looking around here for info on it

Its ok.

nope, still down for me... >:(

EDIT: down for me too :/

Definitely not just you. Vircurex is down too.

Bter too. Coincidence? I think not.

mcxnow and btc-e is working , what is going on ? :)

down for me.

Big Vern is looking into the issue at this time.

Please provide update asap. The chatbox addicted may start going postal! Who would have guessed that this incident would cause the end of the world.

Yep down for me as well.  Guessing yet another DDOS attack.  

And they wonder why Crypto currencies will always have problems taking off in the mainstream.  Idiots like this who constantly DDOS everything for the fun of it, or for profit.

We have yet to believe it is the aliens however at this time aliens are a possibility ;)

Browser says this...



You attempted to reach www.cryptsy.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as secure.4rx.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of www.cryptsy.com.

It's mostly working now.  For some reason, it hasn't been willing to send me email the past couple of days when I want to withdraw BTC.  I finally got my withdrawal to go through by switching it from my regular email address to my Gmail address (which I normally don't use for email). Other than that, it appears to be working as it should.  My latest changes to PyCryptsy (https://github.com/salfter/PyCryptsy) have even kept CryptoSwitcher (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=172121.0) running through Cryptsy's intermittent availability.  8)

I can't access it either....

For some reason it works if you use Tor.

Hmm Tor does seem to work. Strange.

It works for me, and I'm not using Tor.

It's a synced DDoS to all servers

I'm following the Cryptsy news here:
https://twitter.com/cryptsy

I hope they can solve this ASAP :o

We are currently implementing our solution to the issue. Lets cross our fingers no time frame to give at this time.

This shitz suck the site is down way to often its hurtin my business transactions,
I need some place thats dependable. Everyday I try to do
transfers in and out and getting funked up crap like this...
seems like every 1/2 hour

502 Bad Gateway

---

I like the place when it works - but very seldom lately
Im looked at 2 other exchange sites that have been very dependable for me
Plus they do USD, something thats lacking at Cryptsy

Love Cryptsy, hope you get it sorted out quickly :). I had 4 BTC in my account so I am definitely crossing my fingers ;).

Good luck!

Is it just down for me or for everyone?  ???

502 Bad Gateway

It's down

it is down  :-\

yap here too!

No announcements about this even on twitter. Hope this is not a big problem  :-\

hope they will be back soon

I doubt it. I'm sure they got tired of making money... probably closing down forever.  ::)

At least a good pretext for dumps of anything...

if they don't open within the next 1 hour it's confirmed, they ran off with all our money.

Man, tough crowd ..

You guys have never dealt with an exchange outage before??

Outage - not a problem, a lot of panicking guys here. Hopefully cryptsy will use this downtime to fix some another issues (i.e. negative balances  >:( )

Got a new error 504 Gateway Time-out.. what's the difference to 502 Bad Gateway?

should have open new thread instead reply to old one. anyway at least we wait together.  :)

504 means they r busy buying an island with our coins

2  ;D

@cryptsy site down momentarily and working on restoring it

Happily it's not you who's running cryptsy or that'd probably be true  ;D

same as you. ???

And it's up!

BigVern
@cryptsy back up and running - investigating cause out outage - thanks you for your patience as we identify fault

still down for me :-\

back on now.

looks like it's up, however a lot of markets are down. I guess they'll slowly recover within the next couple of hours or so.

An Internal Error Has Occurred.

Error: An Internal Error Has Occurred.

I have been getting a bad gateway error for the last hour or so.........

This error message left Cryptsy days ago.......and just hit our screens now

buggy as hell

Was getting bad gateway also, now seeing brief glimpses of the site now and then.

 8) You know it...

Anybody else receiving a 404 error ATM?

yeap down 404

running ok on my end here

Looks like no doge trades have gone through for 45 mins.

after delay in everything, cryptsy is down yet again...

i think they changed ip just flush DNS and try again

is it down again?

Yes, at least it's down for me and some people reporting the same on Twitter.  I'm getting a "503 - Service Not Available".

yes, for about an hour here in UK
this is after their maintenance downtime earlier too, I guess it is connected

I hope they up their game in coming weeks and months when I anticiapte traffic and trading will increase exponentially when bitcoin price spikes, which imo is inevitable

nothing on cryptsy twitter feed which I always find unforgiveable

It was giving me an internal server error for about 10 minutes today. That was unexpected but everything seemed to be working as a charm afterwards.

Clear your browser cache.

err
yeah I did that and was up for a time

but you got 503's and 500's again

run along and check

yeah, that isn't doing anything, not even a different browser:

503 Service Unavailable
No server is available to handle this request.

Cause of 503 Service Unavailable Errors

The 503 Service Unavailable error is an HTTP status code that means the web site's server is simply not available right now. Most of the time this is because the server is too busy or because there's maintenance being performed on it.

How To Fix the 503 Service Unavailable Error

The 503 Service Unavailable error is a server-side error, meaning the problem is usually with the web site's server.

Down for me

Yep down with 503

And this on Reddit. Just saying.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/262u4j/another_cryptsy_issue_if_youre_still_using_them/

If you are getting a 503, flushing DNS , rebooting, softbooting (windows users) linux users dont cache DNS unless you physically have that service enabled which is not by default, and reseting your router will do nothing.. this is a server based error code.

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   cryptsy.com
Address: 199.83.134.5


which is an unresolved address. so it would appear either sever DDOS, or they updated there DNS and it has yet to propagate.

This is nothing new for Craptsy users....

Down for me too, hopefully it won't be long..

There is reason people call it Craptsy.

I have found much better alternatives, it keeps sinking to new lows

Heard that they got Hardware problems. Should be back up soon.

Is it true, down!? I am got a new error 504 Gateway Time-out  for a long time.

Yeah the only problem is, the new ones aren't really very trustworthy. Looking at the Moolah/Mintpal fiasco.

Hopefully its not down permanently. Taking longer then expected..

No problems here. Also logged in yesterday (Saturday, 18 Oct 2014) and it was working fine.

Well all wallets down now!!! Could this be the END?

Obviously nobody would believe it would happen, if they kept a lot of BTC there! But right now the only thing is the server being down, so only time will tell! But personally I would not like it to be over, because it just gives BTC a bad NAME!! So lets just hope its just a temporary situation and everything goes back online!

Good job I got my coins out already. 

I hope Big V isn't Goxxing....

Important System Notification

Due to a server failure, all wallets are offline. We will have wallets back online quickly as possible

The end is near by the looks of it hardware fail customer support fail and never get responded to in a good time. Good thing I got all my crypto out a long time ago from this one. Waiting for the next gox to happen or to slow right down to a point cant access or trade anymore. Even now on the site when it was running before fail it was mostly bot trading and bots should be banned from trading on sites.

read my sig link for more info guys..

Seems the site is up again but I do not trust it anymore. Some coins are still frozen. I have stored a few crapcoins there, so losing them is not a big loss but the exchange is not really usable anymore.

Have a few coins there which I even forgot I had. Time to dump them and withdraw whatever I can.
Sad that the site ended this way. Could have truly become a leader. No idea where and how it screwed up.

Cryptsy will be back to normal soon. They have been getting attacked pretty hard lately, but they will pull through. Not sure why some people luv the drama so much that they create it and try to perpetuate it.

problem is their "normal" still sucks. it's always one thing or another with them. if they could at least hire someone for support to clear the hundreds of unanswered tickets, several of which are mine, that would be a nice start. until then, drama or not, the scrutiny will continue and cryptsy will fold if major concerns aren't addressed. there are many other exchanges that will be happy to accept cryptsy's former users and their coin volume.

They've been under attack and have a huge client base there, like hundreds of thousands, and if everyone sends half a dozen tickets to them, that quickly becomes quite the mess to deal with. If people would just relax and let them sort it all out, before firing off more support tickets, it would give them a chance to get on top of it. Just my thought on the matter. I personally enjoy trading on cryptsy very much, as do many others.
