Cryptsy- really does it suck?

[oncebitcoinedtwiceshy]

I would agree that they need to do something, maybe impose a trade limit until they are able to handle more. I mean they have to know what their hardware is capable of, just use that impose a trade limit and each time new servers come online up the limit until it isn't being reached. Then invest in an extra server or 3 to be safe lol
  

which DC are they in and why do they have to personally order in servers?? can they not get in softlayer somewhere or some DC that has racks ready to go? Does their sofware require some strange spec that DCs don't hold?

If this is what it's still on then possibly not a DC!

Still nothing from support and nothing shows in my account.

[belltown]

I just tested if my account has same issues and the answer is YES. I traded 14 Lucky coins for BTC. Trade completed long time ago, Lucky coins gone, but my BTC balance never increased.

What are you guys using while Cryptsy has problems? I'm thinking about trying Bter again.

[tiptopgemdotcom]

Of course while I wait for these people to sort it all out, the coin I was planning to buy with my deposit (still not there) just goes up, and up, and up.  Has anyone asked for compensation in cases like this with Cryptsy?  Or are you just so glad to finally see your money that you forgive it out of the kindness of your heart?

No you are pretty much fucked in those cases.
I've been trying to buy some coins the whole day but my buy order vanishes and i get refunded so im pretty much in the same boat @_@

same =/ I figure that with persistence though, once the site does start working---there will be opportunity to land some buys that the people who have given up have left behind. SBC / WDC load up time.

[snaidervp]

my balances return to normal  

all sort of bugs,glitches and lags happening but at least its not like vern wants  to steal our coins... like some other dude doing last years ....

[Netnox]

I think it's being caused by the huge Quark volume

[cryptohunter]

Yeah they won't  steal in on purpose of course they are good guys but their site is broken and it is annoying thinking you could have lost coins due to db corruption or overload.
 
They have trust they are honest but i worry if they can handle this large task the alt world is placing on them


With bter you can't deposit any coins there right now.

Im actually certain that as soon as SBC is buyable again it will shoot up like crazy, its only available at cryptsy.
Quark has had some news so it might also shoot up but that at least has another exchange where its traded.

To be fair, cryptsy's growth was not forseeable by anyone and upscaling infrastructure is not easy when it was not planned for that in the first place.

I've just tested sending 1.8 PPC from cryptsy to my bter account. It took few hours but they did deposit to bter and now I'm able to sell them.

[2dogs]

Update:

Tested a Cryptsy BTC transfer to Bitfinex;  completed in 4 hours.

Not exactly lightening speed, but....

Also reconciled all balances to Cryptsy - checked out ok.

I just got all the quarks, like every single broken buy order make it through.

Too bad my balance is now -200 BTC

[cmpbllbobby]

pr9me is the only one that even help's with support. It would be smart to hire maybe a few more people, considering Cryptsy is currently having all sorts of problems.

My newest problem BTC deposit has been showing as Incoming for about 10 hours now. (15 confirms)

My latest deposit isn't even showing as pending....24 hours later. (168 confirms).  I'm new to virtual currencies and I can't tell you how disheartening this is.  Not having quality exchanges or at least one will only limit VC growth.

Same problem here. Sold some WDC. Balance reduced but no record of trade and no LTC.

I'm in the same boat... The alt I've been eyeing has since gone up quite significantly since I've made the transfer and wanted to buy in... This isn't the first time it's happened... Extremely frustrating when you want to buy a coin for cheap and are waiting for the transfer to come through, only to be sitting there waiting, watching as the price steadily increases

[TribalBob]

I haven't traded there in a week or two, but I have been trading there since they opened and I have never once had any kind of problem with Cryptsy.

Not saying other people are liars, just saying I've never personally had a negative experience with Cryptsy.

Same here. A guy in this thread claims to have found a solution. Try it at your own risk.
