Great, hope to see NXT on there soon.

I don't do much trading on Cryptsy but looks like I need to give it a second look.

Ummm... so what are the USD withdrawal options, my friend?

Currently its a check though we will have more options in the near future such as ACH.

Great work cryptsy team

I have followed the development from day one.

Any news on visa deposits and withdrawls

+1
Nxt could really use NXT/USD

Where's NXT/USD you cuuunts

why verification needed to trade with usd?

Good...  ;D

I rahtrer trade at cryptsy then a site like btc-e or something...

Thank you! 8)

If it wasn't for the fact they want you to provide photo ID and send them photo of yourself holding said ID - I quote "we are asking that, in addition to submitting a government issued ID, you submit an image of you holding the ID with your face visible" ...
Now, this might seem like ingenious security measure (at least on some misguided level) to site admin, but the perspective of your mobile phone mug shot selfie holding your own passport finding its way to the internet should the site become compromised at any point in the future is just priceless. :D

I love this! :) hope more coins we will be able to trade with usd soon!

So can you convert BTC to USD or is it just USD to BTC?

Both of course.

I was also going to this question but already posted now waiting for reply from OP about this why verification is must for this

I'm not the OP but it seems that most exchanges dealing with USD generally require some sort of verification. Possibly it's something to do with AML/KYC laws but it might also be due to the risk of chargebacks and fraud which doesn't exist when dealing purely with cryptos.

Its the Law simply put. If we did not the feds could seize funds etc etc. Much like Gox had their US accounts frozen back in the day.

Congrats on getting them opened. Pretty weak marketing though. Maybe you need to hire someone to handle that stuff for you.

Shouldn't there be a big banner on the home page bragging about it, or even some tweets in the feed and blog posts about USD/XXX? Even the about page hasn't been updated. No mention of it on the Cryptostocks listing either... and this was a the whole point of that offering.

Is Project Investors fully licensed in the USA now?


LOL

HAHA good catch ;) As far as the marketing we will hit it harder when we have more payment and deposit options in the US :)

Why no NXT/USD?

its becoming standard practice.  I had to do this to sign up for a verified online course.  also cryptsy has to verify accounts under whatever the "know your clients" part of being a money handler is..
(apologies in advance for bad terminology)

If we live local can we just come and pickup the checks instead of waiting on the mailman?

Mail service in south Florida is the worst.

haha Ill ask.... Not sure though kinda could muck up the process.

you NXT sock puppet trolls need to stfu.
more than likely it will get added if need be.. being an irritating dick about it is not going to help and makes your community look bad.
and i say this simply because of the endless spamming trolling and drama in this forum from you NXT cheerleaders.. it's been getting out of hand.
besides get in line.. they have to add Jackpot coin first.. hahhaha

Anyway on topic..
I can sort of understand being weird about wanting your face added to a picture with ID
but myself i don't care i even posted my picture for everyone to see on Cryptsy chat last year.
a few well known guys got doxxed last year and i felt bad for one guy and said hey man, here's mine lol

but the id requirement is sensible and an appropriate measure too be compliant as a money service business of sorts in USA
with Altcoins teetering on regulation this is just the only smart choice. (vs like BTC-E with no ID requirement)

Lastly i have not verified myself at Cryptsy but i probably would do it.
i raised the issue of security with Mullick and he said he didn't have access to that private info,
which no offense to Mullick but i found that reassuring.. i DO in fact trust Mullick.

So congrats Cryptsy i wish ya luck with it.
This is a step in the right direction i think for Crypto overall..
more service for us and more of a professional level is now going to be required of Cryptsy.
People on the fence about Cryptsy now may have to consider that with USD markets Crypty has to be extra cautious now.
And what ever has happened in the past is not so important as learning and moving forward.
Bring up a negative stories about Cryptsy here is not going to help.. although i occasionally do that lol
What we the clients need is no more NEW negative incidents ;)

This is a big step for cryptsy. And for the whole community.

When will you offer withdrawl and deposit to and from Visa. After all what we have now isnt much use to those of us who don't live in USA.

Thanks for reply and clearing its mean now I am going to do verification of my account

Glad to clarify!

^This.

Also, why do you need to know if I'm an active miner for verification?

Cryptsy now has electronic deposit and withdraw methods added for USD. With even more options coming.

Currently US clients can deposit via:
- BillPay
- Personal
- Company Check
- Green E-checks

and withdraw via eWallet or mailed check eWallet provides:
- ACH
- Credit/Debit card
- Prepaid card

Enjoy more new options to follow as well.

Now that USD trading is live, I noticed the trading fees are in USD as well. The share offering claimed these would be included in the fee share dividends, but there is still only LTC and BTC listed in the announcement calculations. When are the USD fees going to start being disbursed to shareholders?

If there's a more appropriate channel to ask this, please let me know, as I don't get replies from the paul@cryptsy email listed on the offering's verification page.

How long do withdrawals take after initializing them? I haven't done a withdrawal yet, but I'm just wondering.

3 Months is a reasonable time for you?

Implemented our long awaited Trigger system built in automated trades. A trigger is similar to a stop-loss order. It executes an order when the trigger price is met if you have the funds available for such order. It will execute for smaller amounts if you do not have the full trigger amount available. Triggers do not place any funds on hold. Come give it a try.

MED/BTC, SYS/BTC, GML/BTC, SOLE/BTC markets added enjoy!

How long do the USD withdraws to eWallet take? I confirmed my withdraw hours ago and it still shows as Pending. Please help

Ill look into it I know they had a small backlog due to a guy being on vacation. Ill see if I can get them processed quickly if there are still hanging.

Thanks, BitJohn. Yes its still hung.

Still Pending. This is starting to make me doubt this service.

Contact support we added an alternative method, also free, for withdraw while we work on the issue with egoPay.

Do you know when the ego system will be working?

EURO and Canadian markets added start trading today!

EUR and Canadian withdrawals are not working. When clicking the links, for example https://www.cryptsy.com/users/withdrawfiat/277 all people see is a blank page. Were they ever?

What is going on? If there is a problem, at least inform the costumers and display a clear warning message instead of a blank page. This is not a very good way to hold clients or propagate positive PR.

When can we expect the withdrawals to be working?

We are having issues with maintaining a bank that will allow us to transmit EURO back. Money Transmitter rules. We are working on finding a solution daily.

Lets add MAPC to bittrex :)

Okay, but in that case, show a clear warning, not just a blank page!

While you don't have a direct transfer mechanism working, take a look here https://www.neteller.com/en for intermediaries. My guess is you can make a deal faster with one of the many companies available within Netteller.

Good luck and hurry up.

Much like Big Verns post says you get 3 free withdraws..... *sigh*
