Please add GrowtCoin!

Please add Elephant Coin. Just because it had a minimal premine shouldn't keep it off the exchange. It has a decent enough minjng following. Let users decide if it lives or dies...it deserves a chance. You guys give chances to coins like GIL for no better reason than its 'dev' is a chatbox fanboy.
I agree - not sure there is really a fair reason to exclude it. A 0.4% premine really isn't bad enough to freeze out - if there's a demand for it what's the harm in giving it a chance?

Hydroponica, his rep is bad for trolling, so that made no sense.

Favorite teddy Bear is probably not the most intrusive question but if teddy needs a more anonymous name then make it A$%^65ty.
This seriously cracked me up for some reason.

More security @Cryptsy! 
August 02, 2013, 08:28:58 PM
Cryptsy started asking me for all these personal security info and questions today, so I pulled my coins out. Don't like the sound of that.
So this came up quite a bit today. The reason for security questions is owner validation. We have users losing access to their original signup email. So in order to validate them we need another method. Just like any site that asks personal security questions you can make the answer anything you wish. Just know the answer! So question like Whats your mothers maiden name you can put 67890%^&*(1223 that's fine but know the answer. So if you do lose your email access permanently which until recently I myself didn't think was a real thing but some people do. We have a way to validate your the owner and give you access to your coins by changing your email.Seems smart to me -- I really don't see a disadvantage here. Our accounts are used for transferring, trading, and sometimes even storing valuable virtual currencies -- I have no problem going through a few extra steps to verify my identity if it means my investments are safer.
I had an incident once where I lost my phone (slipped out of the pocket in a new pair of slacks)...which was linked to my email. The person who found the phone reset my passwords for various websites and confirmed the resets via my Email...which they now had access to. If there had been an additional security question on the sites in question, there's a chance it would have never happened.
I was tipped off when I checked my deleted Email and saw the "reset password" emails in there (the idiot never deleted the trace) -- I got everything straightened out quickly and eventually even got my phone back...but securing and modifying the compromised websites was the biggest hassle out of everything.
The security part of verification ends when the end user losses his keys to his information. So then the question becomes how does the user regain access to his information and prove he is himself without losing anonymity that many crypto users want or do we just say sorry well hold your coins for eternity.
How do you propose a user proves ownership of his account? We feel this is the best way for a user to prove they own the account and is a widely accepted practice but are open to other ideas.
Using Country of Residence as a fail-safe security question is about one notch above using Gender. I fudged my actual residency, and let me tell you, if I start getting penis enlargement emails written in Uzbek, there's gonna be hell to pay.

I don't know what "6th grade" is or what a "second name" is. I think there is also one question about child nicknames or stuffed animals (?!?). I suppose these are normal questions in the States but are really weird here in Spain. It would be much better to give the option to users to write both the question and the answer.
Ok that made me laugh literally. I agree there may be some cultural confusion there. I will talk to vern about a custom option.
August 02, 2013, 06:00:19 PM
GLX, STR and PHS!
August 02, 2013, 05:56:52 PM
ORB was added before Lebowskis, very very undude...
ORB is a scamcoin, should be banned forever from cryptsy.Lebowski is decent, I like the weird name
I guess you never saw the movie?

Exactly the scenario this protects against. Again the answers don't have to be true they just have to be correct when we try to confirm. I personally have made up answers for any security question myself various pass phrases with symbols etc but I'm paranoid.
