CRYPTSY stopping withdraw locking accounts without notifying users! Class Action

[Gleb Gamow]

Okay, I'll admit to wetting my pants on this one. Jim Shockney didn't know that BCT stood for BitcoinTalk, AND it was Terrik that didn't know that DC stood for Data Center and NOT Washingtion DC. To balance out the team, BitJohn can't use Google to figure out were the infamous Roger Ver quote stemmed from, and Paul Vernon first mined Litecoin when the difficulty was very low two years after it was already on the scene, abandoning Litecoin 30 days later because the difficulty skyrocketed to mine FeatherCoin. Meet Team Cryptsy. HAHAHA

they just keep digging deeper and deeper.
Maybe this is the nail in the proverbial coffin.
is icebreaker claiming he sent and received coins after server went down.
btw...one server brings it all down...how long does it take to bring up a backup?

"Backups on parallel servers or servers hooked up in series?"


"Just when we got into the swing of things, we have to stop and fix Cryptsy's servers."

@Gleb
I was going to do a whois before i posted eh
They were running their own servers for a looooong time and that was their hoster.
No idea when they changed to Amazon..

So since i am at least in part right.. i still will proclaim i am right

I also almost bought a T-Shirt at a Salvation Army used clothing store about 3 weeks ago.
It said "Winning" and had a giant picture of Charlie Sheen on it.
I was amused to no end and was standing there for a while laughing to myself LOL

I love Charlie Sheen he's awesome !

PS:
I collect "gently used" Heavy Metal concert / tour shirts (mostly long sleeves + hoodies)

Without wanting to defend Craptsy, it doesn't mean much that the front end is on AWS. It's definitely not beyond common sense that they have a separate non-cloud server that runs the hot wallets. The site being on AWS really doesn't mean much in this case.

Cryptsy's data center is in Miami it would take Mullick or Paul about an hour or 2 to get there.

They forgot to implement an ELB... Elastic Load Balancer.

Cryptsy climbs to the cloud to steal the goose that laid the golden egg and Jacked their BeanStalk!

All wallets currently offline.  People have been complaining about both deposits and withdrawals for weeks now (I personally have an eth deposit thats 6 days old, no response to the ticket I created).

If I where a betting man, sadly I would probably lean towards the 'We got a runner' bet.

Going to be alotta sad ex-cryptsy users if this puppy is indeed done (myself included)

[indiemax]

Been trying to get various coins out for weeks now but getting the same generic support emails and returned to balance.

To be honest anyone would be extremely lucky to get their balance out

unless Vern makes everyone good, yeah right

[cohnhead]

In the time they've been in operation, have they ever been hacked ?  so where did funds go? ...they siphoned accounts to pay salaries and expenses?...hard to believe...as there most likely would be jail time for such an offense..... they speculated on coins?... harder to believe....again they'd have to use client funds.

hey bitjohn ...in your tenure there, did it ever seem like they were cash flow problems?

whoa, hey now, we only make wild accusations and throw around baseless accusations here..

hey bitjohn ...in your tenure there, did it ever seem like they were cash flow problems?

We don't take kindly to rational inquiry around these parts, please insert FUD and try again.

[Spoetnik]

I don't know what to think (of all wallets being offline)
i have not seen that before than i can remember.

They posted it so they must know..

Also there was no hack before but an exploit confirmed with
a chat user who tried to claim he made off with like 82 BTC or something. (and other incidents similar)
BitJohn and JShock etc all claimed he never got the coins off their servers.
And i do lean towards believing them on that but it's NOT what i was told.

but maybe their server was seized as a part of a Govt investigation ?

or maybe the computer crashed.. i don't know LOL
sort of poor timing for them though..

[cjmoles]

Just curious....if they close their doors, who gets to dig their database for possible clams hiding in there somewhere?  Curiosity is killing me here....are there any clam left to be dug there?  What's the over/under on the plot getting thicker here?  Way over? Slightly over?  (or) Wow, no freaking way!

[owlcatz]

They appear to have it back online, however I don't use it so cannot verify functionality.

@nwfella So i shouldn't deposit cryptocurrencies either?

@bitlab:you cant all wallets are down. There server went poop and john is supposedly 4hrs from DC to fix the issue.

Why is its future questionable? @nwfella

[bluehorseshoe]

As a cryptozian, miner, trader and staker, I'm cheering for Cryptsy to succeed. I feel it would be a great loss not to have them as an exchange.

Plus I always root for the underdog.

Me too!  I really do hope that all of the "funny" stuff going on around here is just a product of chance, variance, and coincidence.  I don't think the universe of digital currency can take too much more abuse.  We're beginning to look like those with "gold fever" during the gold rush days when everybody started preying off each other for their dust...We should all bow our heads in silence and hope for the best here.

BitJohn doesn't work there.
He also posted on the previous page 2 other guys BigVern and Mullick are about 2hrs away from the D.C.

[Kn_os]

Ahem. Reading post on cryptsy "Due to a server failure, all wallets are offline"

Can anybody explain me why it is possible to change deposite adresses of any (not maintance) coin without any problem right now?
Is't this operation require access to working wallet?

More year ago when they hadn't wallet status page i used this way to check if deposite will arrive, i generated new adress, if this operation failed i was sure that wallet was not working, not always helped but sometimes worked.

Although twitter said something diffrent "Due to a server failure all wallets are paused", what means paused then?

Yeah, sorry I couldn't grab the line where jshock mentions john doesn't work there. I just think it's absolutely hilarious that "BigVern" is in the DC now "Moving BigServers" and fixing it , but Jshock doesn't know what the issue is, only that it will take more hours. (?)

These guys can't keep their website going, or even effectively communicate to customers -  how the hell can anyone trust them with coins?
