The newbies have to post on something so at least they can post on a cryptsy thread in here was my thinking. Figured its a tad better than welcome how are you threads and gives them an opportunity to ask and answer questions before white listing.

But it should probably be a service announcement as well yes.

This is really an excellent site, and the escrow service sounds particularly good, I can't wait until it's out! My favorite thing probably is the chatbox is entirely off to the side and you don't have to try and ignore it or anything, completely out of your way so you can do your business. And if you want to join in or watch you can always open it.

Hey bitjohn,

How safe is it to store your cryptocurrencies in Cryptsy?  Will you have additional security features to safeguard your assets from getting stolen?  Worried about malware and keyloggers.  Thanks!


Title: Re: Cryptsy.com an Altcoin exchange. New to crypto? Come give us a try
Post by: BitJohn on August 10, 2013, 06:44:00 AM
Your funds are very secure with Cryptsy we have many safe guards in place (that we wont share) any withdraw requires at a minimum password, and email verification with optional two factor authentication.

Thank you for the info!  I opened up an account yesterday and never even bothered to look at the 2 factor authentication.  Does your company do any type of referral bonus for getting new people to sign up for Cryptsy?

I use cryptsy for some of my trading, along with BTC-E. One thing I dislike about cryptsy is the lack of email alerts when you log into the account. That's something I appreciate, as I have my email forwarded to SMS and in case my account is ever broken into, I can instantly change the password and get the intruder out before he can withdraw anything. I probably wouldn't know if someone else logged into my cryptsy account, however, until it's too late. That's something you should consider adding to the axchange.

Cryptsy is a great exchange! I had some issues with my account after I lost access to my email and BitJohn resolved it very quickly - I can definitely recommend them.

You should add some XMPP functionality to your list.

Change the group chat on the site to an XMPP chat room.  Having to stare at a webpage to watch the chat or hiding the chat to move around the site is limiting...
Then add XMPP notifications for trades, value thresholds, etc.  Faster than SMTP.  :)

You guys are great exchange! I like constant improving. You have fair small whitdraw fees, dont ever change that! Great support and upcoming features.

BUT, You guys must take more serious trading engine. This one as you and we know if full of fckng bugs that are really annoying. Problem with whitraws, deposits, SLOW canceling order and refund, very slow posting of the new order, etc. I think you shoul rewrite or modify the whole trade engine. It loses peoples money!

Always improving and always room for improvement. We have already made large changes to the trade engine and will continue to upgrade. Same with deposits. But your right always room for improvement and like your said were constantly improving. 3 Months old and can only get better!

(deposits for various currencies not showing up after hours or even days, withdrawals pending for more than 12 hours etc.)

I'm currently waiting 5 days for a FTC deposit. 2 support tickets and no answer. It's funny because right now I don't want to sell anymore, price has changed in the last 5 days.
If you want to trade at Cryptsy, try to guess what will happen in the next days and send your coins with some anticipation.

If you want to trade with a shitcoin, be careful because it might not exist anymore when you receive them in your account.

 Yep agreed waiting 9 hours now still pending  :( (edited) & still waiting not even processed 2014-02-11 02:21:13
Pending, if i ran my company this way i would be out of business by now.
 A) this is nothing to do with blockchain.
B) there is nothing saying about how long withdrawals are supposed to take can take or should take in the support docs, I bet they get tons of support tickets for this reason alone, I see no point in sending one at this time due to knowing full well that people have been waiting a lot longer than me, that being said cryptsy you need to be more informative and give clear warnings.

When you click on the markets it says this at the top:

This market is for Verified Accounts Only. The User Verifications system will open within the next week.

I guess we'll find out more later.

It seems to have increased the Fee Share price on Cryptostocks (https://cryptostocks.com/securities/57) as the price has pretty much doubled since yesterday. I don't think I'll trade the USD markets myself but I'm glad I still hold 29 fee shares that I bought at the IPO price as it will likely mean higher dividends and a better sell off price further along the line.  ;D

ahh ok interesting i bought some before but after it was all over and i did the math and broke down it would take like 150 years to get my money back lol
so i sold them a day or two after buying for a loss.. my own stupidity. I should have bought on day one not a month or two later lol

According to the listing the fee shares were actually created to pay for all the regulatory and legal stuff relating to getting USD onto cryptsy.

People took this into account and the price got pretty high.

But then more recently I think people lost faith USD was ever going to happen and the price has suffered.

It will be interesting to see what happens now that it looks like USD ready to go!
