Beware of Cryptsy

[thevwu]

If you're a new member I suggest not using the trading website Cryptsy.  It's extremely slow, riddled with problems, and costs a lot of people a lot of money.  I'm personally going to switch over to Coins-e, but I've heard good things about Vircurex as well.

Cryptsy is a perfectly cromulent exchange. But like most things in our little universe, have limited resources to deal with what has bloomed into a billion dollar economy.
Crypsy has always dealt with issues relating to deposits and transfers for me in a timely and responsive manner. I would recommend their services to others - BUT:

* Do your research.
* Dont invest more than you can lose.

Have heard a few stories of altcoins vanishing from user accounts when trying to trade with them.

I have also been warned off cryptsy by several people

I've been using Cryptsy for a while now and had no issues to speak of.

Sometimes when you try to withdraw it shows 'error' but if you keep trying it goes through.

For me it's the best site at the moment and has a lot of markets to choose from.

I have been mining for about a month now with Cryptsy and its been painful.  The site has significant issues lag issues with withdrawal, deposits and trades.  Depending on the time of day, its virtually impossible to get anything done.  Right now the exchange won't even allow me to log in.  Keeps throwing and error and then redirecting me back to the home page.  Atheistically, its one of the best, if not the best that I have seen, but the continuing problems, lack of communication of issues and non-existent support response is leading me to search for another exchange.  It was and is a great design, but the execution has been horrendous.  Hope this helps others who are thinking of signing up.

Maybe they'll figure it out.

Mtgox is still extremely shady and people use it.
