Since when did JShock aka Jim Shockney aka [Smokin'] Hunbolt go from merely customer support to being a tech? And, if Jim's a tech now, then why is there a wait for Paul Vernon aka BigVern to return from China to resolve mundane issues when Jim has demonstrated he's capable of performing said tasks?

AND



THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS

Looks like somebody involved in DASH is affiliated with a new altcoin dubbed Decred: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1290358.msg13271863#msg13271863

No, that is Dashcoin (DSH) who's community took over maintenance of the coin, and continued to use the same name and logo, after Evan Duffield legitimately purchased them from the DSH dev.

Am I mistaken that one of the Decred dudes is affiliated with NET?: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=169204.msg2221303#msg2221303

Dunno..I don't know anything about NET.

Wallets broken for weeks and yet vern is going to fix them in a mere hour of downtime, but for some reason not until Friday?  I predict that the withdrawal issues will continue past the downtime on Friday (assuming craptsy even comes back from the downtime).

The one-hour 'Fix' will be preformed around noonish while enjoying somebody's liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Does anyone have data on the top 5 exit coins at this time?

[P4ndoraBox7]

I'm adding my name to the sue list.

They locked my withdraws and even locked me in chat and not answering tickets. Thank you.

Are there still 5 left? Supposedly sprouts works if you take them to bittrex.

[P4ndoraBox7]

Someone answered me on their support forum... Been 18 days that he is waiting his btc withdrawal....18 DAYS...

BTW, I decided to extend the offer for another 24 hours. However, today's offer price is going to be a bit lower since we're that much closer to zero hour. Don't miss out and get stuck holding the bag. Time is running out for you if your BTC is trapped in Cryptsy.

Maybe you thought storing BTC at Cryptsy was a ticket to the high life. Fast cars, loose women, a house on a golf course. Things could have really turned around for you if everything hadn't exploded, but unfortunately that is not what happened.

Well, I'm here to tell you that their is still some hope left for you folks. For the next 24 hours, I'm offering to pay you 0.074 BTC for every 1 BTC you have to sell that is currently rusting in cryptsy. You don't need to keep those worthless coins around as a reminder of past mistakes. Why not turn them into opportunity?!?

Put some cold hard cash in your hand and use it to buy lunch or make a fresh start out on the road to cryptocoin success.

Is anybody seriously considering this offer? I mean, why not just ask everybody to just give you 25% of their BTC? No, wait, that is what you are asking....

There is a difference between real BTC and the BTC credit cryptsy shows in your account. It's not even clear if they actually have these coins to back those balances they display.

Today's prices:
1 real BTC = 1 BTC
1 BTC on balance at cryptsy = 0.073 BTC

I've had a few inquiries thus far. Definitely couldn't do 25%. That's way, way too high. At 7.3%, the potential speculative upside is roughly about +900% while expecting to lose maybe 40% on the friction of getting it out of cryptsy and flipping it elsewhere. Now keep in mind that with cryptsy the way it is, this investment is basically a "tail risk option". BTC in cryptsy is either going to be worth nothing or it would be worth whatever I can recover from them, which could be alot less than 0.073 per BTC. Today's offer price reflects the serious risk that cryptsy is not going to bounce back from it's current state.

Back when MTGox was in its death throws, do you think someone offering you 7.3% for your stuck MTGox coins would have been a good deal? It would have turned out to be a great deal IMO. Eventually, when all ways to get coins out of cryptsy eventually close off I bet that a lot of people are going to come around asking me to buy their stuck coins. At that point in time, I'll quote them a price, but it'll certainly be a lot lower than 7.3% guaranteed. If you want 7.3%, it's time to deal now because I'm only going to lower that going forward.

Risk is risk. It's nothing personal. It's all about the numbers. Maybe the deal isn't right for you. However, for those of you who will find the offer appealing, then I must say that it doesn't matter now if you made some increasingly poor choices in the past, such as leaving your BTC in cryptsy. There is hope! I'd be more than glad to help you guys out with a more than generous 7.3% return on your soon to be worthless BTC. However, time is a factor here, so don't dawdle. The time to act is now. There are no guarantees tomorrow.

Honestly, you should be thanking me for throwing you guys this lifeline. This might just be the only shot you have to get something positive out of this mess.

The Cryptsy IRC channel MOTD was set by *past* employee BitJohn.
This was on October 17th 2015.
That was a public acknowledgement.
Not only is that on record but problems had been going on before that.
So i do believe we can stop saying "weeks"
It's almost 2016 now guys.. Summer is over.. Halloween has past and now Christmas is here.
And yeah all those problems will be fixed in an Hour i am sure
