[2015-12-12] For Some Reason People Are Still Depositing Funds To Cryptsy

[jdebunt]

Over the past few weeks, it has become apparent that digital currency exchange Cryptsy is facing some serious problems. While the official word is that the site is under DDoS, and hardware upgrades are being implemented to cope with the growing demand, a lot of Bitcoin community members feel this exchange is turning into a new Mt.Gox. After all, users can still deposit funds to Cryptsy, but withdrawing has not been possible for quite some time now.

"The big question is how the situation will evolve over the next few weeks. We can only hope that Cryptsy customers will be able to get their funds out sooner rather than later, but there does not seem to be any indication of that being the case anytime soon. For now, everyone will have to rely on sparse Twitter updates, and hope for the best."

It took me about two weeks to withdraw recently. It was longer than usual. A few month ago, it was a few hours.

Where's a good exchange that still accepts I0coins and Ixcoins?

Nothing new. People are chasing quick profits and don't think about the risks that their actions may have. It's insanely stupid to deposit funds while you know there is no way to withdraw your coins (for the moment?)....

There is nothing I can add. Well said
