Otohs 1 point 26 minutes ago

I had over $50,000 on Cryptsy on the 5th Oct, I sold (at a loss) for BTC, LTC & DASH, I was able to withdraw the 8,433 DASH, but the 2,886 LTC & 76.24 BTC have been stuck there for over one week, I was then locked out of my account and dealing with support has been a nightmare, fobbed off with "you're in a queue" or ignored mostly.

I would not advise risking any funds there atm.

Will update on developments...


We were all worried about you there Sad  I hope you can get access to your account back soon, and especially your funds back!  I'm sorry about that Sad

Many thanks, I got access to my account back, but no sign of the BTC or LTC as yet and no response for the last couple of days to my many support requests, no explanation, no money, nothing.

If I may advise, try to revert your pending transactions, so you have all of the balance available in your account. Subsequently, try to find the coins that are still sufficiently available for withdrawal (ArticMine suggested this as well if I recall correctly). Perhaps using smaller, but significant amounts first. Anyway, best of luck and I hope you get everything out in the end.

The withdrawals show as pending on the View All Withdrawals page, but on the All Balances page where one would normally be able to cancel them and retrieve the coins to one's balances it says that there are no pending withdrawals, they've disappeared them.

i had the same issue. lasted 2 days and they were sent. maybe its dependent what size the withdrawal is.

When the withdraw operation is confirmed (yes) but you don't receive your founds, it can be reverted manually only by cryptsy. I think and hope is only a time matter.

Yes, this seems to be the case.

I £^%$%$ am! That shit creeps in anywhere it can find the slightest opening and the exchanges are so wide open to it the make a barn door look small. I'd love to give cryptsy the benefit of the doubt but if they had full reserves there's be absolutely no issue with withdrawals, their business would suffer with these claims but delays kill confidence and they'd do everything in their power to avoid them.

The thought they might be running a fractional reserve scheme has crossed my mind. The question is, in such a scenario, what have they done with people's BTC? And, if the BTC market is oversold due to the fractional reserve practices where BTCs are "supposed" to be in cryptsy, but they have been loaned or sold to pressure price, then what does that mean for BTC's price when clients come back knocking for their BTC?

Anyway...

I don't like the situation with crypto exchanges at all. It's like they are regressing into worse behavior instead of eliminating problems.

I tested darksend today!

I must say, I like it that you can premix your coins and then use that "dark balance" for sending anonymous transactions  Grin
Pretty impressed by the GUI as well.

My only remark (also related to the thing below) is that it took nearly 3 hours to mix 2 DASH... That seems a bit slow, but hopefully if we get more masternodes online, that won't be an issue anymore. But I'm willing to wait a bit. Privacy has a price, in this case it's waiting time.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't mixing slow sometimes because of a lack of people mixing, not the number of masternodes?

That's right. There are plenty of masternodes available for mixing, it depends on the funds available for mixing. Sometimes smaller amounts (and larger) can be a bit troublesome. The mixing process tries to split the sum requested for anonymisation into denominations of 0.1, 1, 10  and 100 I think, not sure if there are any others. I've found that it doesn't usually take too long to have say 20 mixed up if you're mixing 30, but if you're looking for all of it to be mixed up sometimes it can take quite a bit longer to get the very last remnants mixed up.

With regards to the fee, that is related to to the lowest mixing denomination of 0.1. If you need to pay, for example, 1.63, the transaction will need to be rounded up to 1.7. If instead you received the 0.07 as change, it may reduce the obscurity of the trasaction. If you want you could increase the payment to 1.699 and the fee would only be  0.001 DASH. It may not always be possible to change the amount though, due to an exact amount be required for some good or service, in which case the higher fee must be paid if DarkSend is used.

Cryptanalyst castrated by his government, 1952
The Final Leaked TPP Text is All That We Feared

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/final-leaked-tpp-text-all-we-feared
 Cool

Bump.

Jeffrey Tucker's assessment is similarly dire: https://tucker.liberty.me/the-poison-apple-called-tpp/

"Like the Nafta and WTO battles before it, the TPP is being marketed as a free-trade agreement. The partisans have lined up for and against it on that basis. But this is all so much distraction. The true core of the treaty is protectionist in the extreme. It protects a handful of powerful industry players against genuine market competition."

Has anyone yet asked Tucker to take donations in Dash on his site? It would seem like a good fit.

Yay! Have you considered what somebody suggested a few pages back, about converting some of those holdings to Dash or another currency and seeing if they transfer out.

We care more about tech than enriching instamine masternode owners.

Yes, that's why you premined 82% of the total float of Bytecoin (the first Cryptonote coin) before releasing it, and when that plan didn't work as people realized what's up, you proceeded to launch a plethora of Bytecoin clones in case any of those would stick. What I'm not so sure about yet, is if your motivation was greed, or building a honey pot for people who think they'd be anonymous using your coin.

I tried to find some things out about monero today, and I think they launched that coin because bytecoin had interesting tech, but was 80% premined.
I'm not a crypto-expert, so I can't verify their claims. Still need to research it a bit more though.

What would be helpful if there are people who are smarter than me that already commented on DASH tech and/or Monero tech.
Are there some bitcoin devs interested in DASH and/or Monero?

snip....

Funnily, in an interesting bit of "rabbit hole" trivia, there is a sci-fi culture/genre known as "Cyberpunk" which is loosely associated with transhumanism by many. One term originating in this genre (created by William Gibson in the Novel 'Neuromancer') to do with hacking into protected networks is "Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics" (ICE).

In Neuromancer, a piece of software designed to break through such ICE's is known as, (surprise) an ICEbreaker.



In fact, a bit like what this bit of software does....



As it happens, the company that built and marketed that software was started by a certain personality, well known on BCT who would later go on to do even "greater" things at a company called "Hashfast".

Just a co-incidence, of course.  Wink

wow, that's a deep deep rabbit hole. god knows what else you'll find down there.

If  you're not running a version 0.12.0.55 Masternode, you're putting the breaks on when people are trying to mix.  We still have about 18% on a different version which is messing up the mixing performance.  Like hitting a brick wall. 

So please update ASAP, thanks Cheesy

Another thing I want to mention: when testing a transaction, it costed me 0.1 DASH as a fee. I know that with transactions, fees are involved, but 0.1 DASH (around 0.001 BTC or 0.25 USD) is pretty hefty. Will fees be lowered someday?

I always thought the NSA (or some other national agency) implications originated from Bytecoin, as it seems to be a honeypot designed to get people use it thinking their transactions will be private.

And also from their representatives refusing to answer to a question whether they are working with any law enforcement agencies.

very interesting, very telling

I have had interest in Monero for some time its the constant trolling that has kept me away from it.



The Monero folks that troll here? I doubt many of them contribute anything to Monero, they're mostly just parasites that want to see their profits grow and their post history is usually revealing. Funny thing is, if they spent as much time making an honest living as they do spreading FUD they'd probably make far more, pitiable really.

Not only that but to see Monero reps in person doing the same thing did much more damage than good from an investor standpoint. If I wanted to be taken seriously I wouldn't be acting like that.

Exactly.

How i can buy DASH with a credit card?  Roll Eyes

You could buy BTC or USD at CEX.io with it (3.5% commission) and then buy DASH. Not too much on offer there at the moment though
