Ya it was down for me too. It's back up now.
Cryptsy had problems not only today, thats why i dont like this exchange.
Ya I would never keep any amount of coins on Cryptsy. They are down constantly and deposits/withdrawals take an eternity.
I've been using cryptsy for months now and have only noticed them down twice (pre announced so no surprises) and the deposits withdrawls are normally ok every once in awhile takes forever but not often all in all I thought it was a pretty solid exchange Cryptsy and Bittrex are my two go-to exchanges with Poloneix and Mintpal as my back ups
I'm glad it works for you. Mintpal has way more volume and is way more reliable so I don't know why you'd use Cryptsy as your go to but to each his own.
I guess It's cause Cryptsy was the very first exchange I used, my exchanges are entirely dependent on the coins I am mining Bittrex and Cryptsy ALWAYS have whichever coin I am mining so thats why I stick with them I guess no real reason just habit
Fair enough. It makes sense.
