Cryptsy has (or possibly had) a serious bug in the trading engine.
This is not an "oh stop whining over a slow deposit" issue. The trading engine was executing trades for values I did not specify.
I was trading CENT/XPM one night when the price was fluctuating between 5 and 6 satoshis. I placed buy trades at 5 and selling trades at 6. I did over 100 of these trades, keeping the browser on the same page the entire time. (Note: I did not change the values in the bid/ask price boxes once they were initially set at 5 and 6 - I only clicked the balance and Buy or Sell. This was not a case of fat fingering or confusing the prices.) Little did I know that Cryptsy was actually executing trades at those values and their inverse. So some buy trades executed at 5 and others executed at 6(!!). Some sells happened at 5 and others happened at 6.
This is a serious SERIOUS flaw. You simply cannot run an exchange that does not correctly honor the bid/ask prices that a user specifies. It defeats the entire legitimacy of the system.
Right now I have a -283 XPM. That night I had a 700+ XPM balance. I also have a 0.5 BTC balance on Cryptsy I cannot touch right now also.
I am not alone. Several other people had this same exactly thing happen to them that night. Hopefully they make their voice heard here as well.
BitJohn, can you please address this issue? We have been flooding you with emails/tickets/IRC PMs to little avail. Your flawed system owes us money.

Yikes. Your problems are worse than mine.
I've got buy orders that never get picked up. I've had one buy order for DOGE at 25 satoshis and it's dropped below that 5x since IIRC. Order is still sitting there.
Where is the announcement?
