SORRY FOR THE OFF-TOPIC AND BIG RED LETTERS BUT I WENT THROUGH A FRACtiON OF GLEB GAMOW'S POSTS ON THIS FORUM AND ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!! BUT I DONT ENCOURAGE ANYONE ELSE TO DO THE SAME BECAUSE IT'S VERY TIME CONSUMING. THATS ALL TANK YOU PEACE OUT!

So you believe that eViolence will give any credence to your arguments? Im not here to tell people its safe to deposit on Cryptsy, no exchange is safe. In fact, there is no safety at all in the crypto domain. People will lose their coins whether it be hacked, lost passwords, broken usb's, etc.
I prefer losing mine @ cryptsy

Edit: And I still believe Cryptsy will resolve this nonsense.

Im as entitled to my clever comments as you are to your retarded opinions.

Cryptsy has not deliberately been stealing peoples funds, at least I would have to see evidence to believe that. I just think that Cryptsy would be as safe as any other exchange, because they are all prone to cyber attacks.

Cryptsy has been running for a long time, never been slow or laggy like Poloniex, it has also never been hacked like Poloniex. Its bigger than most other exchanges when you check alexa, so there are great incentives to repair the damage that has been made.
The chief executive has doxed himself since day 1, which is also a sign of honesty and dedication.

Nope, you are quite wrong. This whole market is a big waste of time from my part, Im just in it for the money. And the time I've spent researching coins has not payed of, so Im getting bitter and frustrated. I reckon that the people over at cryptsy feel somewhat like I feel, and therefore I can relate to them. Im tired of my own greedy mind that is stressing me up with these sorts of things, waiting for some fucking miracle to happen.
Now I've put all my eggs in one basket and sent the whole thing to Cryptsy. I hope they have better luck dealing with things than I have.

If I cant win I might just as well join the others who got fucked. Im not encouraging anyone else to do the same, but it will be exiting to see what comes out of this. Cryptsy has been my accountant for most of my time in crypto, and it has worked better than my damn own wallets and broken USBs.

I was just speaking in general terms.
My point is that Gox theft was a lot worse because the losses were much bigger.

I think you are forgetting that Mt.Gox was managing 500.000btc, relative to cryptsys 10.000btc. Cryptsy is a well established website/exchange and they have everything to win by getting this sorted out.

Meanwhile I'm depositing more on Cryptsy... This thread is full of rumors and trolls, I dont know what happened to Cryptsy, but I dont see any better alternative, and Im too lazy to handle my own wallets for now.

They are doing the right thing IMO, depending on how big the loss is(if there was any), maybe time can repair this situation, for both parties.

But the most important thing:

It's one case someone hacks their system and steals from their customers ; It's a whole different thing if they let other people make new deposit to repay the damage that was caused by the hacker.

So the people who have deposited AFTER they lost any coins must be prioritized.

I'm not a lawyer but this seems evident to me. I would also assume that if there was any theft, they'd have filed a lawsuit, because a hacker theft seems like any other theft to me.
Imagine having money in a bank, and then someone robs the bank. I don't think the bank is to blame for this, given that they had the right security measures.

Ok thanks guys! Hopefully this thread can be of use to other nabs

Ok good!

Just to be 100% clear on what I should do: install - send coins to my wallet - encrypt the wallet - and then backup my wallet.dat? 

If I download a wallet and install it, can I send coins to it and backup the wallet without having to download the blockchain? I mean, can I backup the wallet and encrypt it before the coins have showed up as balance in the wallet?

Thx

Here is what I've come to understand:

- Cryptsy is having technical some problem due to an overload of inputs/outputs in their wallet, which clogs up their system and delays withdrawals.

- Many people encounter problems to log in, which leads to reseting their password. This triggers a safety mechanism that locks all your withdrawals for 24 hours.

- Some people like the original poster of this thread seem to have another sort of personal issue with Cryptsy that doesn't really have to do with the last months problem. I also don't see the OP
replying here anymore?

- Some people seem to have a personal hatred against Cryptsy for some reason(maybe just their own damn bitterness) which makes them create articles with outrageous accusations, spam forums/reddit, etc. Causing even more confusion and uncertainty.

- Cryptsy claims that there have been no theft, bankruptcy or any such thing. It's some sort of technical problem. They seem to avoid spreading panic, which is understandable since that would put even more pressure and make it harder to resolve the problems.

- People are claiming that their support team doesn't answer for days or weeks, I personally think this is very strange and believe its bullshit because they keep answering me at least within 1-4 hours.

I believe that the smartest thing to do if you have funds on Cryptsy is to either wait this thing out, or to exchange the bitcoins to some other crypto and withdraw. Im still waiting for my withdrawal, but they have assured me that it will be processed the coming 24h.

It might be that the authors of the ridiculous coinfire article have teamed up to make some form of attack against cryptsy, because that article should clearly be taken with a grain of salt.

Cryptsy withdrawal stuck in 'pending' status since 19/10/15


I will update this post when/if I receive my funds.

Solved.

People are really quick when it comes to shouting "GOXED!!" etc. Come on, GOX was a billion dollar operation, the incentives of hacking that exchange was much greater than Cryptsy. I also dont understand why people are so eager to spew hate on this exchange, since 2013 Cryptsy has been, perhaps not perfect, but at least overall professional compared to other altcoin exchanges.

They have good 2factor authentication support for even old phones(where you just had to confirm via sms) and they don't take unnecessary risks like other exchanges do. I mean Poloniex was a really unqualified exchange in the beginning, and thus got hacked. However they managed to repair the situation and after that they got bigger than ever.

It feels like some people are just fear mongering here...

EDIT:
Dont get me wrong, I also have a fair amount of anxiety over my 1.22btc. But lets just try to keep calm and resolute.
