Guys I know I have been a ghost of late but figured I get you all an update. Its overdue.
The lag etc has been caused by the massive influx of users to Cryptsy.
Here are the stats:- Nov 24th Cryptsy had 17903 users 18 days later we have 64895 users. This is a 2600 ish average new customers a day.
- Most trades total in a day went from 66,000 record to 200,000. Previously it would fluctuate now its steadily rising every day is a new trade record usually beating the prior day by 8k or more.
What we have done to fix it so far:- We have already added a bunch of new hardware have bunches more on order so were not caught like this again
- Optimizing our site to handle the massive growth and tweaking things to better cater to the customers.
- Staff is now about 13 people and growing.
We have a backlog of support tickets in the 1000's- We will get to everyone. Might not be as fast as we would like to.
- Bulk replies yep we have done a few and it makes some folks unhappy in those are some pretty common fixes to the majority of the problems we see. Its an attempt to help as many folks as we can quickly not to blow anyone off.
- Leaving your ticket open when it is fixed still makes an agent spend 5-15 minutes on your issue.
- Some folks are doing 10-15 tickets on the same issues.
- Leaving out details in your ticket slows it down tremendously. Saying simply "MY COINS ARE MISSING FIX IT" will likely not get you fixed faster. Not that we dont want to help but the lack of detailed information makes the agent reply and dig it out.
.
One of the biggest tickets we get are from
cancellations. I know its slow but if you mash the button a bunch during lag it seems to cause way more harm then good. If you have a balance error and don't want to wait for support. One little trick you might try is placing a very small order in the same coin pair for an amount that wont fill and cancelling it this forces an audit and may fix your issue. Try it on the buy and sell side might fix you right up. We have a fix for this but nothing is instant.
Some of the other common tickets.New users and how to deposit BTC and other coins to your account

Security errors or errors in general due to the heavy load. (If you get an error, please refresh and try again)
DepositsKeep these things in mind with deposits:
Trust Scores

Out of date or out of sync wallets particularly Infinitecoin (IFC) .You will need to make sure your wallet is in sync
with the network and that your wallet is the latest version. (If your wallet is not the latest version, your transactions will not post)
We are experiencing some delays with wallets due to large amount of deposits.
