Same here, parts of my mining efforts are stuck in nirvana.
Sent x tickets into the helpdesk already.
They cannot not know.
And it's all documented, the block explorer
shows exactly when the money got where.
While my precious is in cryptsy nirvana, I cannot trade with it.
Cryptsy's fault not mine. They hide my money until it's boring to trade with it.
I would really like to know what's going on, there are several possibilities:
It's
(a) a technical problem, or
(b) a jump the queue scam, or
(c) a direct market manipulation.
(d) they protect me from selling now for an undervalued price
(e) a reason that I don't understand.
(f) thieves
Let's have a closer look:
(a) a technical problemcould have well been the reason - but then they had fixed it within an hour or two.
A company like cryptsy cannot afford to not have programmers on standby 24/7.
And by now, they could have 10 people working on it.
We are talking big money that we customers are loosing right now.
CRYPTSY CAN YOU PLEASE PUT MORE AND BETTER PROGRAMMERS ON YOUR PAYROLL.
(b) a jump the queue scamis not improbable, but would mean that cryptsy is completely corrupt, and can never
be trusted ever again. Either you would belong to that select group that is allowed
to jump the queue, and trade before anyone else does ...
... - or you loose out a lot whenever you use cryptsy.
I would be sad if that were the case, really.
Then: LET ME INTO THAT GROUP PLEASE, CRYPTSY.
But I don't think such a corruption is necessary, just with normal business,
cryptsy can get so incredibly rich that they don't need to play foul games.
(c) a direct market manipulation.It would be quite clever, actually.
For 6 hours, Cryptsy allows less coins through than are asked for
- the logical consequence is a huge increase in price.
Their gain? As they control the inflow, they can cash-out at the peak. Clever clever.
The question here is rather: if not, why are they not using (c) *hahahaha*
AS SOME OF US COULD NOT BENEFIT FROM THIS,
PLEASE REPEAT IT IN THE NEXT WEEK.
And friends:
Please alert me then, please :-)If I get my turn, e.g. later on today
- that strategy of hiding my money from myself would actually be in my interest,
as strange as that might sound: Cryptsy is slowing down our dumping,
in order to keep the price up.
Thank you, Cryptsy!(d) they protect me from selling now for an undervalued priceCryptsy is on my side, and feels with me, and knows how important this will be for me.
And they sense how much more the price will climb today;
and by hiding my money, they protect me from selling prematurely.
Let's just hope that is true.
My guess is the real peak will be at 16:00 GMT.
(e) I don't understand it yetThen please enlighten me.
I am really curious.
EDIT: What I would never have expected, naive me:
It could be plain and simple, I didn't come up with it, but several others report:
(f) theft.Someone on the inside of cryptsy is stealing money.
(s)he would get be able to get the private keys of the deposit target address.
So far I have found these reports of theft, allegedly proven by having seen the sum moving through wallets:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=404364.msg4948689#msg4948689But to steal would not make sense, for the same reasons as in (b).
Cryptsy's profit model is better than any shortsighted illegal scam could ever be.
I still hope it's (d).
Or (a) and they invite me to work for them.
Or (b), and they invite me to the priviledged group who can jump the queue :-)
What a fascinating day!
Damn nice analysis, I couldn't agree more on everything you said.
