If you have ideas for the remaining BTC, see here cryptsy more info. That's part of my bitcoin with Cryptsy: Also, the mechanics of the coin cap, block rewards, confirmations, etc seem to be confirmations well together. Confirmations, can't you use the API to time trades and e150 keep your money off bitcoin the exchange? However, you should stop by to see what the charts cryptsy like. The death of Cryptsy will be sad for those who lose money, but good for Bitcoin in the long term as the market can only progress once it is purged of those who are willing to steal and defraud users. Bitcoin has longer e150 times than many altcoins like Litecoin or Dogecoin, and different services make their own choices about how many confirmations to require before a deposit is made available for use.
Even an anonymous, random exchange in the middle of nowhere BTC-e is more efficient than Cryptsy, and offers no problems to users. I just logged in to Cryptsy and withdrew my Bitcoin without a problem. News articles that do not contain the word "Bitcoin" are usually off-topic. I have also heard of other people having withdraw issues. Get positioned for when the USD market opens and outside investors flood in. Submissions that are mostly about some other cryptocurrency belong elsewhere. As of now,
Cryptsy probably required 6 confirmations. Sign up using Facebook. So, first, 'slander' is 'spoken', so you mean to use the word 'libel'. Here is the thread. Bitcoin is the currency of the Internet:
There are tons of good alts listed. It's the best exchange to buy DGC which will be on btc-e soon! Join the gold rush. Get positioned for when the USD market opens and outside investors flood in. This is not a solicitation to invest. However, you should stop by to see what the charts look like. It is a good time. It doesn't exactly innovate anything imo, however, it competes to fill a niche as a smaller denomination of BTC.
It has a name that has "board potential" like BitCoin, as opposed to gimmicky names like stablecoin, fastcoin, chinacoin, phenixcoin, etc. These features has people imo speculating on its viability for public appeal and vendors' adoption. Also, the mechanics of the coin cap, block rewards, confirmations, etc seem to be working well together.
I don't know enough about cryptocoin mechanics to explain why that is, however. It has a 20 second block time target. The blockchain and network traffic will balloon in size, and there are tons of orphaned blocks and short-lived blockchain forks. The two things it has going for it are a standard parameter dialed ridiculously low and a catchy name. I think I'm going to pass on that scam.

Welcome to Reddit, the front page of the internet. Become a Redditor and subscribe to one of thousands of communities. This is an archived post. You won't be able to vote or comment. Want to add to the discussion? Create a shit ton of altcoins. Try to create hype by spamming the btc-e trollbox and other websites like reddit People will try to get rich by putting a few BTC on each, because they are very cheap Even if all of their altcoins fail, they managed to get lots of BTC for free, so cryptsy wins and everybody else loses.
Personally, I like GoldCoin. It has the best name for normal consumers. How do I fund the account? This made me cringe. Yes, it is bad that people lost their bitcoin.
But just because Cryptsy is gone now doesn't mean other bad actors won't appear. Many wallets are down, some like XCR since half a year and longer. Tether has never worked for me, 3 attempts at withdrawing USDT spread over 6 months and always the same problem, no Transaction ID and then anywhere between a week and 2 months to get them refunded as they have to wait for their Tether expert to resolve it. Has anyone sucessfully used Tether on Cryptsy? Then what are those XCR trades on 17th October , which you can see here: Trades on the platform are working.
But they are useless if you can't withdraw or deposit XCR since months. This is why BTC is the internet of all blockchains and will never go away. This is the most illogical comment I ever read. I was able to withdraw no problem. Cryptsy has endured and worked well for me for years. It seems reddit circlejerks become newsworthy way too quick. I'm writing a blog post about this scam now. The report on which this headline is based is no longer available, so apparently it has been taken down.
Cryptopia has support for a lot of them. There are some coins which are only listed on Cryptsy, however. Whole process took about 3 days, but I got everything last week. Our currency converter has been taken offline as our technical support team works on an update. This feature is in maintenance mode and transactions or conversion are not yet possible.
I didn't convert currency I fat-fingered my first post. I've been saying this ever since I got screwed in the MtGox debacle.
I didn't know enough then, but you should by now. Please people, stop keeping your bitcoin on exchanges!! This can't be stressed enough. If you don't exclusively have the private keys, you don't own the bitcoin. Stop trusting 3rd parties. Use the exchanges to purchase and sell, but immediately transfer the bitcoin out to a private key you control.
What you're saying is true, but the problem here is even worse: Cryptsy will let you deposit, but will, for some users, raise every possible obstacle to prevent them from withdrawing.
Yea, that's another situation entirely. If my withdrawals took that long, I would stop using that service. Withdrawals should always be instant and if that changes, you need to move to a more reputable exchange.
Nice in theory but if you are a trader you are going to have funds on the exchange. Technically, can't you use the API to time trades and still keep your money off of the exchange? I use Shapeshift a lot to trade, and I always keep all of my funds in a local private wallet that only I control. If you insist on trading in and out of USD, they you're taking a risk. You can do all of that without any risk or personal information.
So I assume you understand the potential risk in this, and have it accounted for in your investment strategy. I prefer trading through APIs, so I limit my risk to just the few minutes when the trades are actually being executed. But I am limited in the type of trading I can do. This has literally nothing to do with greed. It's just either about being lazy or uninformed.
It's hard for me to believe that people who keep bitcoin, and then decide to keep them at an exchange, are all that "lazy or uninformed". What I rather believe is that they are trying to keep their funds where they think they may benefit from being able to react faster to changes in the market, instead of keeping them where they would be safer.
That, is what I call greed. I was able to withdraw. But denied and never proven that there was any investigation, which normally would have public documents.
Coinfire is under fire for those accusations. This article links to an article that links to Coinfire for that circular ad impression love. They show obscure context-less documents with things blocked out that look menacing, but unproven. It looks like Coinfire's article is without much supporting evidence, just some flashy images, and is posted in an underhanded way to avoid libel suits.
I withdrew some BTC out of Cryptsy within the last hour without problems. I've been using them for over 2 years. Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy.

Want to add to the discussion? Never had problems before. One of the most hilarious excuses as to why withdrawals stopped working was due to the Bitcoin Malleability attack, posted by BigVern himself: The Merkle can't be trusted now. Because people don't want to be presented information which may contradict their opinions.
