aaand its gone again.
Strange, I'd be interested to understand why it seems to just be Cryptsy having these problems, these things aren't good for anyone.
Crypsy is the only one experiencing this problem with COL, and they're holding everyones COL and claiming it's to protect everyone, and it's been a long time since they've made any public update somewhere a person would actually read ie twitter about refusing people access to their coins. This just doesn't add up, the only public update was a complete lie 12 days ago about COL coming back online shortly, I'm surprised there aren't more people in this thread showing concern, then again its crypto so I guess I'm not. Crypsy is probably using it as an experiment to see if they can just blatantly steal coins from people with near zero explanation and no fallout whatsoever, guess what they can.
Cryptsy is an established business so they aren't going to do things to screw people over, they are not going to steal people's coins. Bit John has gone out of his way to help us on many occasions so if it's their fraud system taking the trading pair down then we do everything we can to make things easier for Cryptsy. This isn't the same as when Col started out and people could just mine tons of coins, everyone has to buy coins now so the stakes are much higher.
Cryptsy is a traditional system trying to connect to blockchain systems, like trying to fit a square into a circle. We could mount an assault on Cryptsy to force them to get our wallets back up but then they would just stop trading Col afterwards because we can't cooperate. I would rather collect all information and do everything in my power to make things easier for Cryptsy, no sense in burning bridges.
The trade halt thing is definitely not ideal, I've got a fair bit stuck as well and want to help them get it back trading as quickly as possible but I'm in this for the long haul so I'm quite cautious. Lots of people just think I own the foundation or am one of the leaders because I post so much, I'm just an active investor and I care about what happens because I've become good friends with everyone. Naysayers be damned, we're all going to the moon.
