I just wanted to use the exchange, but i'm gonna wait for a while.
Is there another exchange you can recommend?

So far, Poloniex seems to be the better option however their coin selection is not as large as Craptsy's... although that might be a good thing... move some actually developed coins to poloniex and give them our trading fees.

i agree with you,i'm also use poloniex,and never disapointed,but i also ever have pproblem there,its an frozen account,but its was resolved,the customer service is good,and also nice chat box response.

Another Gox?

Since the last year people are complaining about issues with cryptsy , about bugs, withdraw and deposit problems, among other.

Now they claim they are under DDOS attack to have an excuse to stop withdraws

Cryptsy wwbsite has been unreliable from the start, i doubt its an outside attack

did they ever have any quality assurance in the first place

well they were never hacked , so they are kinda trustworthy, but their service was very slow lately, and they added too much unneeded shit for security

to be honest i still trust in them, i remember their service solved an issue were i was losing coin in the past, nothing bad in my experience with their exchange

I dont think Cryptsy was never hacked. I was 100% on Cryptsy until they got hacked for Cryptsy points. Some dude hacked it and dumped, so lot of us lost money when we sold our positions to buy cheap points and Craptsy later reverted points trades till before hack. After that i had some dust there and played small but suddenly i got locked out of my account. So in my opinion, Cryptsy sucks for long time now and will be not surprised when they turn full Gox.

"Because of the progressing DDoS assaults, Cryptsy clients may encounter trouble in pulling back assets from their cryptocurrency accounts."

Seems legit , Cryptsy didn't allow their clients to withdraw since long time ago so it has nothing to do with their current DDOS attack (if there is any) . They will try to make a better scenario then Mt.gox and run away with clients funds if you ask me .
and if it's actually true (that a DDOS attack is happening) then I can't say I feel sorry about those people because I don't , and for what comes to the clients ... they couldn't take their funds before , so this changes nothing for them .

Exactly this! Kraken I can believe. They have been legit so far and never had any huge problems.

For Cryptsy, this is just a cover up. We all know that they have been falling apart for a while now. I don't trust them at all!

A new mintpal, a new mt.gox, a new scam... this is what cryptsy is going to be. I don't know if decentralized exchanges are the answer but we need a shift in the paradigm. We can't deny the usage of exchanges: we need almost bulletproof ones!
We have the most secure coin and we need the most secure exchanges

"we need almost bulletproof ones" agree with this,and how do you think crptsy will be next scam?i wondering how we defference between scam poetential exchange and not potential exchange?
a lso think that decentralized exchange is not an answer.

how you can said like that? "Cryptsy wwbsite has been unreliable from the start" you know them before launching?
so you think crptsy have inside attack?like mt.gox?

Cryptsy has problem with their wallet for long time & Cryptsy's customer service really bad, so i'm not surprised if Cryptsy will become scam/bankrupt/gone after this "DDoS Attacks".
I feel sorry for those who still use this service until now.

Maybe that's why people want to use centralized exchange Roll Eyes

are you one of crptsy user?how your experience with their customer service?
i'm also user of this exchange,but i just open account,and never use it,too many shity security there..just what i think

Yeah thats what i figure, kraken aren't also super huge so maybe a scam isn't worth it for the people involved. I think they have sorted out any ddos issues now lets hope so.

As long as the exchange does not declare bankruptcy gets rescued by a scammer and moves to a new platform all in a matter of days we should be alright, I did feel it was pointing out that a DDOS technically was not what took out mintpal it was a buyout.
Time does tell with these types of issues so it's best to presume the worst and give them some time to resolve.

Exchange collapse and lax security and trust protocols unfortunately come hand in hand.
As long as exchanges remain centralized in some form and not entirely decentralized sites can run away with a users funds.
Gox, Vircurrex, Bitfunder, Mintpal, Cryptsy the list goes on.

Im happy with kraken, i know who runs the exchange, i know roger ver is an investor. I know they done an audit. I dont think its impossible they have a "problem" but its less likely and i only have a small amount in the exchange anyway.

Well maybe not Kraken your right about that but to be fair many people thought Mintpal was fairly trustworthy at the time because of Alex Green who was really Ryan Kennedy.
That said your right it's not fair to point fingers if one exchange is having issues cryptsy while the other one is running smoothly enough kraken and Ver is also running forum.bitcoin.com so having the Bitcoin domain and running a scam with kraken would be strange stuff.
