pr9me on June 28, 2013, 04:32:45 PM: Franko is one cool dude.

Jdtmp4: pr9me, I wish I wouldn't said that first. BTW, neat-0 for using a numb3r as a letter. Wanna be besties? Let's do lunch. We'll flip a nickle to see who buys and, recalling that epic joke told by Paul Vernon on stage at a conference, we'll let the tag-along Doge dude leave the tip. HAHAHA

The so called "verification" is another excuse to steal your money (others like poloniex isn't "cracking" down).

That was required by law no way around verification, AML and KYC. Polo will have to do it as well they just don't do FIAT so they are in a bit better shape. Really only BTC-e can avoid it for now.

I'm also will to venture the margin trading is going to cause them problems with the CFTC.



More exchanges should offer crypto only trading. No fiat, no margin = less complicated business model

What should be call it? Or should I start a thread a conduct a poll for the naming of the Cryptsy clone?

The clones are already up, eg. Poloniex, Coins-e ect, and are using the same support company, Freshdesk.. Wink

If a sock falls in the BitcoinTalk forum, will anybody troll it ? HAHAHA

Yup he got you there. LOL
I was there on chat when you were going through all that drama BCX

BCX had also created a topic late 2013'ish that said..
Isn't it fishy every time the price of Bitcoin goes up Cryptsy has withdrawal problems ?
And i replied back to it saying.. I KNOW !!
I said i had come to the same conclusion and i was posting about on chat *in advance.
Saying here goes the price again.. get your BTC out now guys before "the problems" come back.
(maybe it slipped BCX's mind he made that topic long ago ?)

SO i don't know where you all stand on Cryptsy but i have stuck up fro Cryptsy a lot in the past as many of you have.
I have tried VERY hard to give them chance after chance.. but in the end left.

Nobody not even BitJohn himself says they have a good track record.
Read the link in my sig and see BJ saying himself word for word.

I have -ALWAYS- tried to say things have *looked* fishy with them.
Why is another matter..

I am just calling it as i see it.
Nothing personal with ANY of you.. including Cryptsy staff or their old users (whether i get along with them or not)

I didn't make up and lie about witnessing a zillion problem i seen first hand.
I stand behind any story i have told as the truth to the best of my ability.

Anyway guys..
We veered off-topic here pretty hard. LOL
I can't speak for others but when i speak with a serious tone i try and choose my words carefully.
Something that seems scammy vs i have proof of a scam being exposed is different.

I had posted on this topic saying i don't see the "gotcha"
I didn't see the smoking gun of undeniable truth that he was busted cold.
It's tunnel vision... i am looking at 1 point.
Maybe the circumstances surrounding the things said about spots -LOOK- bad or *seem* fishy.
but that is not the same as we got him !

..my 2 cents.
..my perspective.

The withdraw issues are because of their storage practices. Cold to them is warm to us, if you catch my drift

You hate them but once again are towing the perverbial company line.

You're sounding alot like BitJohn ! lmao HAHAHA

Let me point out something..
Does BitJohn have full code access to Cryptsy ?
Nope sure didn't a decade ago I knew some Java.

If he says no i wonder would he know if another guy was screwing with things behind the scene like Mark from Gox was.
I suspect BJ here was actively involved in things though.. trying to put ALL the blame on BigVern now.
Like I said 4 programmers only Paul has full access to everything.

We know another guy or two has wallet code access in their servers.. Mullick mostly i think ?
Has more access than most but less than Logan the old Network admin. Paul is the only person there with universal access.

So how do we know people have not been screwing with things ?
A veil of secrecy and denial.
All in the name of keeping thing secret for security reasons.
Yeah sometimes keeping things secret is the best security but not sure what exactly your asking

I wonder how BJ often claims wallet issues in the past (his go to response)
He better have code access if he is claiming that LOL
It was always wallet issues. Cryptsy has way to many coins! Do the math at a minimum that adds up to around 600 wallets. Always one hung up or acting up. The other issue with them is well half were programmed by people who had no clue what they were changing so they dont work correctly.

Can BJ read and write c or even c++ code ?
Or if it's just a matter of ohh the wallet is obviously down then he must have access to see them running.

Or he is told so by another guy.. Mullick ? BigVern ?
I can read some code. No admin has a direct wallet view. We asked when issues arose and manually put it in maintenance baased on what Mullick and Paul told the CS staff.

I think there is a lot more than meets the eye here LOL
Probably way less than you want it to be haha

Only major question i have is.. if BigVern is the creator and main guy why on earth is only seen once or twice a year ?
Show me another popular site that has the coder / owner MIA ALL the damn time.
That is just fishy.. it's always been that way.
You will likely see Unicorn Fart before BigVern pops up chatting.
I can count on 1 hand how many appearances he's made since mid 2013
Thats why he hired folks to handle that stuff.... It's actually very normal for the CEO not to be out and about.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.

17Nov2015 - Cryptsy currently has withdrawal delays for Dash -




I'm officially done with Cryptsy. I made my weekly BTC purchase and conversion to DASH but this time it took almost 3 hours before they sent my coin to my wallet. Typically something that takes a few seconds to at most a couple of minutes.

I'm a small insignificant crypto holder so me quitting Cryptsy doesn't mean much to them...at least until there are 1000's of me or more. At the rate they are going, it won't be long before all the little guys like me stop using them and they are done. And clearly, given what they've done to Otoh and his public accounting of horrendous service will only make the numbers grow of both small and large investors leaving.

It's #rekt Jim.

The second thing is that I worked so very hard in order to come out with an alternative, and because my team and I were doing everything by the book we are unable to secure the proper funding to launch an exchange that is truly legitimate (not to say Crypsty isnt legitimate, but as far back as I was a customer there have been problems). Therefore until we get funding the project is on hold.

We have a fully functional exchange, but we refuse to open up without the proper safeguards in place so customers know that we are not a fly by night exchange.


you're talking a US based, give full ID comply with US law (and I use the term loosely) type exchange? no? now how would that be any meaningful alternative? kinda defeats the whole point of p2p currency.

now you could put all that wasted energy into helping make a p2p exchange  Wink  this space doesn't exactly need a cryptsy 2.0

Well for starters it would have been US/EU/CA.

My statement revolved around the fact that someone who has some level of trust is doing the due diligence to ensure that we wouldnt have been a fly by night exchange that could steal everyones money and close shop without having to answer to someone. Gives some credibility to know that someone put the work into something of that sort. Does that make more sense?

As far as a p2p exchange, thats a whole other topic that I reserve my own opinions on in terms of how they would work within the crypto ecosystem Roll Eyes.

2 days ago, another Cryptsy story arose. I withdrew 6323 NXT coins, after wards I bought 5000 NXT and the day after I was on a negative saldo, guess, yess indeed -1323.
This means they substracted the NXT withdraw of 6323 twice. I filed a ticket and they claim a ticket takes 1-3 days to solve



My name is Jim
I am the Customer Service Manager for Cryptsy.com
Your original post was made Mon 3/31 (2 days after you submitted your ticket), this tells me you submitted your ticket on Sat.
The reason you were asked to wait 2-3 days is due to our tech support team is unavail on weekends as another user suggested.
They work very hard during the week so we feed them and let them relax on weekends.

If your issue is still not resolved at the time of this post, please submit a new ticket and ask for the Customer Service Manager
and I will be happy to assist you myself.

Please be patient with us as we grow our team and exchange.  
(We had 1 official customer service agent in Nov, we now have over 25
in our customer service department to assist you.)

We are committed to bitcoin and have come a long way in the past few months and will continue to improve in all areas.

Thank you an have a blessed day

I'm gonna punch holes in the above.

Of those supposedly 25 customer service reps, many of them live abroad, thus their weekends and times of day DO NOT correspond with those of Cryptsy's customers living in the US. Are we led to believe that an addressed ticket received on a Friday afternoon was composed by some woman living in the Philippines on Saturday evening her time? Ironically, one would be hard-pressed to cite a ticket reply penned in the evening US time, a mathematical impossibility, again, given the majority of support staff live abroad.

@BitJohn

Please stop talking out of your ass.

How often did you take the "crypto hobo" for a spin.

How much did you assholes rake in from that scam alone ?

100k USD ? 200 ?

I guesstimate that my small time troll box giveaways totalled roughly 2000-3000 USD, when peak prices are factored in. Roll Eyes

Had to point this out:

Hello all,

My name is Curtis Green. I am in charge of getting the web site up and going. If you call in and talk to sales, there is a good chance that you have spoken to myself or my wife.

There are still a lot of bugs, typos, etc that I am trying to resolve. So, by all means, if you see anything that doesn't look like it should, please email me or just post a comment.

The Famiy literacy Centers, inc is a non-profit organization. We are setting up Family Literacy Centers all over the USA. One of our main focuses is to make this web site a virtual literacy/learning center. We are able to do things today over the internet that weren't availble just a couple years ago. So, as the technology gets better, the better our services will be.

We are the only organization that can sell Lexia Reading Software to the USA and Canada. Our homepage may look like thats alll that we do. ITS NOT! lol.

The FLC also has developed a comprehensive reading program called the 72 readers. This too, will be availble shortly on the site.

The most exciting thing that we are working on at the moment is our one-on-one tutoring program. We will be using either our certified teachers or certified Family Literacy Centers tutors. The quality will be top-notched! The average price for one-on-one tutoring (in-person) is between 80.00 and 150.00 per hour. There are some web based tutoring that costs thousands of dollars just for a couple of months of tutoring.

Since most of our tutors are willing to donate most of their time, we will be able to offer this great service at a fraction of the normal cost. We are still working out the logistics, but we are trying to keep the cost under $30.00/hr. There will be other factors that will affect the pricing, i.e. how many sessions are purchased. The more that are purchased, the lower the per hour cost.

Please feel free to ask or post any questions.

Thanks again,

Curtis

Okay, I'll post a comment: How exact did you get the Silk Road moderating position again?
