cryptsy was hacked. In retrospect the only solution for cryptsy and other exchanges in the future is one of two options:
1. Get insurance. If that is even possible to do.. not sure if exchanges can be insured.
2. The community must support the exchange in the exact same way as in the movie Its a Wonderful Life.
The exchange could return the money once they have recovered. Once people panic and take all their money out the exchange is doomed. We panicked. The next time this happens the exchange should tell it like it is and ask the people not to panic. Now no one will get the money back.

I just made a coin request on Poloniex. Here is some data that you guys can use when making coin requests at exchanges. I made some small write ups please add to the write ups and additional information that can help convince the exchanges to add Tekcoin.

Please explain why you would like to see this coin added to the exchange

This coin is a solid coin with a large community and a strong set of development support personnel. There are many people that would come to your exchange just to trade Tekcoin.

If this coin has any significant innovations over other coins, please elaborate on them here.

Very High POS rate. It is possible to mine just using POS. This will keep the coin going for the long term.

I have just recently retired and will be able to start offering what ever promotional help and possibly tools for Tekcoin and a few others that I participate in. I believe that the promotion of crypto-coins must be done to help them grow. I will volunteer my time to this effort in the future. I am writing some technical articles in the realm of physics and when that is complete I will be happy to help out in the crypto
community.

I also submitted to Bittrex

Well I have to tell you that I have been reading the last 10 pages or so of this thread and I have never laughed so hard in all of my life. Especially the Spoetnik rants. Those rants had me in tears I was laughing so hard. Spoetnik you are the Don Rickles of the Internet. I don't know whos right and whos wrong and I definitely think Cryptsy and Big Vern are going down. I also like the pictures of Big Vern in the divorce court that is hilarious. Thank you guys for giving me something to laugh about despite the tragedy that is Cryptsy.

@Joebwan  Thanks for the update! I told you guys something bad was going on there. Who ever still has coins on cryptsy I advise that you get them out of there as soon as possible. Convert btc and ltc and Tek to something else and transfer them out. It looks like to me they are relocating in China to avoid the government crack down. Perhaps as I said before someone hacked them and the stole coins. I wonder when we will hear what really happened.

@U_G_H

How did Vegas Guy take over a coin?

@johan11

Did you have the wallet encrypted? Also did you have a backup of the wallet on another drive?

If you have it encrypted they still will not be able to get the coin.

Cryptopia does seem to support a lot of my favorite coins.

I think we need to pull coins off cryptsy when we get the chance and establish another exchange other than cryptsy. There is something strange going on at cryptsy. Most higher trade coins are now in maintenance mode and they seem to be staying there indefinitely. People can't get BTC or litecoin out of there. We should decide to move all coins and trade from cryptsy and go to the next best exchange available. At this point I am making a call to move away from cryptsy.

Where can you download a Stellar windows wallet? A already compiled windows client.

I have been monitoring cryptsy everyday for weeks now and it appears that the btc hot wallet is empty and that is why the withdrawals are slow. Maybe they were hacked and they don't want to admit it. We definitely need to withdraw all caps there and put them on another exchange. I hate to see cryptsy go down but this is taking way to long to fix. I no longer believe it is a technical problem.

I guess I will go for Poloniex as well.

I would like to see both Hobonickles and Bottlecaps added there as well. I have a good amount of each. I wish I knew why Cryptsy is doing this? It seems deliberate as any coin that has a high volume on other exchanges seems to have the same trouble with withdrawal or has mysteriously gone into the maintenance mode. It appears to me that they have closed all avenues of escape if you want to convert your alt coin to btc you are left with very limited options.
1. What coins that are still working have only a small volume on other exchanges.
2. Or their prices are significantly lower than cryptsy price which means you will incur a large loss if you buy the coin and sell it on another exchange.
3. Some people have tried withdrawing very small amounts of btc .01 at a time. But if you do this you will get clobbered with excessive withdrawal fee that Cryptsy just implemented.

Another example of something that looks bad is I got most of my btc out by converting to Earthcoin and then sending it to my wallet. I did it late at night at 1 am. AS I was doing this in large buys of earthcoin which I then immediately withdrew the captcha part of the withdrawal process suddenly switched modes. It went from the easy to read 3 to five digit photograph of a number to this special bazaar font composed of long strings of letters which I could no longer tell which letters were caps and which letters were lower case. I tried 10 times and did not get one captcha code right. I finally switched to the audio mode to withdraw the rest of the coin. This once again looks very bad.  Assuming that people at Cryptsy are deliberating trying to keep people from withdrawing BTC or anything that can be converted to BTC I watched the chat at Cryptsy the next day as I was suspecting that Earth Coin wallet would also mysteriously malfunction as a result of my large transfer the night before. Sure enough the next day people were reporting that the Earth Coin wallet was now malfunctioning with extreme long delay for withdrawal.

This just looks really bad. This all started when bitcoin price started moving up. Is it possible that the main cryptsy wallet that stores BTC is insufficient to fulfill all withdrawal orders?

What does this all mean for alt - POS coins at cryptsy. If cryptsy is the only game in town you can't ever realize a profit because you cannot get your bitcoin out of there. After you sell your Hobonickles, you will be subject to the mysterious problem that seems to be affecting withdrawal of coins that can be sold for bitcoin or coins that are liguid enough to be sold for fiat. You will find that in one way or another they are essentially all locked down. This will eventually put POS coins that are only on cryptsy in trouble. Actually it will affect all of the alt coins traded at cryptsy in a very negative fashion.

Either cryptsy fixes this soon or we have to all withdraw all our coins from Cryptsy and trade them some where else in order to survive. I am recommending we all transfer out of cryptsy to some other exchange and resume trading at an exchange that is working. I can go with Polo or Bittrex they seem to be the most logical choices.

I would not be in such a conspiracy mode of operation but there is a ever larger growing collection of circumstantial evidence that seems to suggest something may not be right at cryptsy. If they would at least give updates or some details as to what exactly the problem is that would help to build confidence but almost no information is forthcoming. This problem is now in its 3rd week. Why the heck is the fix taking so long?

I did some checking and was chatting with people at Cryptsy they said there is only .16 btc in the main wallet. WalletExplorer.com

In light of the difficulties that Cryptsy is having which I hope Cryptsy eventually will work out. I believe that Bottlecaps should be listed on more exchanges.

In light of all the trouble cryptsy is having I suggest that we get hobonickels on more than one exchange. Is anybody working on this?

Cryptsy has locked the Tekcoin wallet and claims there is something wrong with the Tekcoin block chain. Is this true or is this another example of suspicious activity at Cryptsy?

Something very nefarious is happening at Cryptsy. They are locking up wallets and accounts. I had a bunch of coin that I converted to another coin and then I withdrew that coin. The very next day I was watching the chat on Cryptsy and now no one can withdraw from that wallet. They are locking down every avenue of withdrawal from Cryptsy. I also was trying to relay a quote from their support team onto the chat so that people could have the latest info on what was going on (the official news so to speak) and after I posted that quote I was permanently banned. Their support team went from excellent to awful over night. The question that I have is why exactly are they doing this and what is the end game. Does anyone have an idea? Are they just going to shut it down and keep all the coins and reopen in china with the new site they are setting up. I don't know,  but all of this does not look good. They should all be ashamed of themselves.

Is there a list of video games that use game credits?

I was wondering if you could post a simple example of how to use api commands for your website like how to get a balance or something like that.
Thanks for the help

Version 2 wallet won't connect to the network anybody have some nodes?

What is the latest version and where do I get the current version of the wallet?
