Horus handled my ticket.  He finally responded.

He is demanding that I verify to Tier 2 before he'll release my funds.

I use the same wireless internet as a friend, and since my friend has a negative balance from one of their fuckups, they figure they can steal my money (1.15 BTC and a couple alt balances) to make up for it.

I don't have to upgrade to anything.  I am Tier 1, I do NOT have to prove anything to withdraw what I've asked for.

Writing to Florida AG next.

BitJohn (last i heard) worked over seas a lot and would be away doing almost no Cryptsy related work for long periods.
Out of respect to the man i will not say what his occupation is though.

I think he has bs'd me before.. i am personally convinced of that and nothing will ever change my mind.
I do think he''s not a bad guy though and is far more capable of being reasonable than most other guys at Cryptsy.

Him or one of the other mods banned me from their chat box for a year way back and i never went back.
if i can't use it i won't use the exchange..

The reason i think i have been bs'd from BitJohn before is rooted in the behind the scene Cryptsy activity.
and all those Cryptsy guys are tight lipped.
You may want answers but good luck getting them from Cryptsy if it exposes any of their private stuff.

Nothing could be worse for crypsty than a disgruntled employee who really knows whats going on. That would be one interesting scenario if true.

More interesting then this shit... Cryptsy's "2.0" self=moderated thread has a standing question that they haven't deleted yet:

And now I go to Cryptsy and notice a withdrawal limit of $25/$100 for non-KYC required products (digital coins).  Don't quite like this additional "update/upgrade".

Why limit withdrawals?  What's the basis for this?

Did they not make payroll and BitJohn is not working until he's paid?

I have been watching this thread since it started - and made a few comments along the way

I verified to level 1 when this came in

I have been withdrawing/depositing from Crypsty the whole time with NO PROBLEMS - both before and after the new limits came into play

I have just done a string of alt withdraws - all through in a few minutes

I must conclude that this thread is just bollocks


The story is running thin on me - its bullshit.

The trolls here are just trying to crush Cryptsy - and I guess are paid by another exchange.

Believe what you want  - but the proof is in the pudding........... at least for me

NO - I am not paid by Cryptsy - and not a recent account for a purpose




I agree. I too have been able to deposit and withdraw from crypsty with no problems over the last few week. As one of the "lucky ones",  I have even offered ...with trusted escrow/or sending $ first .... to try and move affected users funds off the exchange. To date, no one here who has complained has even tried to take me up on my offer.  Kind of makes you wonder? You can call me a shill or sockfuckit but I only speak the truth.

you clearly have trouble reading, plus you're a relatively new member, longtime members do not waste time here making things up

plus what you're not understanding is if someone has verified, like I have, and withdrawls aren't going through, they will not be able to send to another user via tradekey
also you cannot manually undo pending withdrawals, so they are screwing people with their buggy exchange, even after delaying and secretly bringing in 'verification' which is just a delay tactic, they have been 'playing' peoples coins

say what you will, I have withdrawn from crypsty and am not making anything up. blockchain has it all.

also who said anything about using a tradekey to move funds.  Maybe its you has trouble reading.

I think that after all the years of failed exhanges...to long to list...anyone who keeps more on any exchange, than they are willing to loose, clearly hasn't been paying attention to good practices. Being a Sr or Hero member obviously does not equate all the time with having sound judgment.





I keep a fraction of my coins, small fraction to trade. it is a principle here
question is why are you trolling athread full of people who HAVE huge problems when you don't
why waste your time?
you are clearly a sock puppet, and not someone I would trust as far as I could throw

plus I have been trying to withdraw coins before they even had 'new' site chock full of bugs, month and half ago
I have the support tickets to prove it

I saw this coming which is why it's so frustrating
I won't waste anymore time on this thread
it needs to be more public

bbb, plus I am not wasting time or money on lawyers, I will see what law enforcement can do that end
they are breaking laws here. time for it to be their problem not mine

again if you read my posts I am not here as sock whatever for crypsty or anybody. I am here to try and earn some $ by possibly facilitating withdrawal. Also if you read my post you would know I am not asking anyone to trust me as I am willing to put up escrow.

With the next weekend it is one month, one month these assholes didn't even care to provide a credible explanation for blocking withdrawals of ALL my coins.

They don't verify me, they don't respond to my tickets and of course they do not give me my money, but yes bigvern "thedumb" keeps adding new shitcoins everyday!

Be aware of the shills people and stay away from this exchange!

All cryptos are FIAT digital currency. Do not use.

Where the hell have you been during the last 3 years ?! Tongue

Fyi, Cryptsy set the standard when it comes to inhouse shitcoin ponzis and the shitcoin sweatshop that cloned them. lol

See all those mice with the busted right clickers !? Shocked Roll Eyes

You're interesting.  Cryptsy provides a method to run a ponzi.  As far as I know they don't actually run a ponzi coin themselves.  Profit from?  Absolutely.

Now with these withdrawal limits and other "KYC" crap for coin withdrawals it does appear that Cryptsy itself may be a ponzi... not just a ponzi facilitator.

No exchange operator in their right mind would risk listing dozens broken and abandoned shitclones, unless they had complete control of the client/blockchain and/or full knowledge of it's minting and hashpower exploits. Wink

I am worn out complaining in sryptsy trollbox, I started very politely, have sent countless tickets.
I am verified tier 1 and withdrawals been pending for WEEKS
those lucky ones who can actually get their coins should count their lucky stars

here is a selection of comments just pasted from cryptsy chatlog now, go visit at anytimethis has been going on weeks for hundreds of people.
even the regular trolls and usual bumlickers in there have had problems and some cannot withdraw at all even when verified tier 2

Terrik
fubar?
Nordman

naw, it's just stuck there..
Terrik
I've refreshed several times, every 5 minutes or so
Nordman

Terrik
just refreshed again.. still sitting at 1 of 4.. and I've just watched 2 more blocks go by as we've been talking
Nordman
@Terrik: had couple showing at 1 confirm and poof it is in
Terrik
it's strange.. like something on the back end is struggling
Otohs948
Here's a copy of my email sent to Cryptsy just now, the latest of dozens sent over the last four weeks, all ignored or excuses:
Otohs948
Hi Elen,  Six days and you haven't bothered to let me know when I can have MY 76 BITCOINS back, now worth over $23,000 and nearly one month that you have blocked my withdrawal.  Cancel the confirmed but stuck on pending withdrawal as requested so that my coins show up in my account balance again!  Change my verification from so called tier two to tier three, I was fully verified with you and had no withdrawal limits, the longer this goes on the more it becomes certain that you just rob the larger holders of tens of thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoins.  I have also requested many times, the name of the owner/s and registered office/s plus the contact details for your lawyers, it is illegal to withhold this information from your clients and the longer that this goes unresolved the greater will be the damage to your business and the more likely that you will be charged with serious theft and corruption.  Pass this email and my prior ones to Vince right away as he will be the one that will be held the most responsible for this fiasco.  Thanks,  Otoh
Nordman
@Otohs948: please don't post books in chat
Hyperjack
@Otohs948:hey Otoh
Otohs948
are you working for Cryptsy? If so return my 76 BTC that have been held illegally for one month!
Nordman
@Otohs948: no just a volunteer moderator
Otohs948
then I will not need to post ever again, thanks.
WhaleFail
lol I guess ottos lawyers will have to teach him @ 1000 USD per/hr about new AML/KYC regulatory compliance laws
Hyperjack
@Otohs948:come on dude...chat is fun
Otohs948
well, expect that if emails to support are ignored ppl will post them here in the slim chance their $23,000 just disapeared by Cryptsy will get noticed by others and so returned
Otohs948
getting $23k stolen is not fun
Terrik
@Otohs948:nobody stole anything
WhaleFail
Oto.. go read, they have your $, but theres now limits based on tier levels due to new regulatory laws.. that you can w/d

@Otohs948:I suggest you verify btw..

5th Oct I had my withdrawal confirmed, it's still F-ing pending FFS!

@Otohs948: Expect an auto reply shortly..
Nordman
@johnerfx924: they are not in the office for a couple more hours
WhaleFail
im sure theres 100 ppl wanting T3... takes time to see if they all qualify n all that jazz, isnt some insta-automated thing
Kyrpt0Fr3ak
@Hyperjack: what did you say you been selling Dash to buy Sprouts. yeah thought you meant that Wink
Terrik
@Otohs948:you should be able to take out $2000 a day then at tier 2.. which is only 6.45 bitcoin.. I'm assuming your withdraw was much larger than that.. and that's why it's stuck
Xzibit17529
Why is my bitcoin withdrawal pending for more than 3h?
Otohs948
Nearly one month and support just fob me off with excuses or normally just ignore my emails while keeping MY 76 BTC!

Honestly, I don't understand why some people have so much hate for altcoins. There are some decent altcoins out there.

Also, I really don't see cryptsy as an outright ponzi scheme. I think of cryptsy as more of as a poorly coded exchange under the control of a woefully apathetic management team. Frankly, I'm surprised they even lasted this long.

Unfortunately, I think we'll see them last a bit longer though. No matter how bad it gets, I expect there will always be a pack of fanboy idiots that will stick with these imploding exchanges until the end. For example, look at the mcxnow fiasco. There were dozens of lemming traders kissing realsolid's ass all the way up until he fucked them and ran off to Europe.


- Honestly, I don't understand why some people have so much hate for altcoins.

Really ? A trail of victims leaving a stinky mess by vile horrendous people
destroying the very concept of crypto including Bitcoin and you have no idea why ?
i am flabbergasted you would say that. (what's wrong with Altcoins he says in the SCAM Sub-Forum LOLOLOL)

Like that is not even funny.. are you that naive to what has gone down across the world the last few years ?
Maybe it's because you have no clue what so ever what goes on behind closed doors ?
I know most of the coin coders well and have watched them all pull brutal sleazy stunt after stunt.

- Also, I really don't see cryptsy as an outright ponzi scheme.
Let me guess your one of those "i never had a problem with them.." guys ?
Famous last words with Cryptsy over the years... and Mt.Gox !

- I think of cryptsy as more of as a poorly coded exchange under the control of a woefully apathetic management team.

That is EXACTLY what Mt. Gox was with their custom back end and fractional reserve system.
They had to rob Peter to pay Paul until it collapsed and when it got close and Mark knew the gig was up he posted lies online
blaming hackers for stealing all the money then closed the doors with no warning taking peoples money..
THEN he later had his lawyer make a statement saying he found a usb drive in his couch with over 100000 Bitcoins.
AKA: he lied and his lawyer *obviously convinced him to come clean (about running off with the money)

All that panned out because Mark set up the operation like that and it had one inevitable outcome.
He HAD to rip everyone off.. or in the end come clean and pay *some people (some would still get ripped off)
I think Mark's intentions were honest right up to close to the end.
His Magic Trading card web site (exchange) was never deigned properly though..
so ?
Do you see Mt. Gox as a ponzi scheme ? Well see what i said about Cryptsy above Wink

You are right when you said this though..
- I expect there will always be a pack of fanboy idiots that will stick with these imploding exchanges until the end

I started like in 2012/2013 doing this stuff and i already knew on day 1 that Gox had a VERY bad reputation (like Cryptsy)
And it only got worse over time and no matter what like you said.. idiots would cheer lead for them (contrarians)
People who feel compulsive and obsessed to take the opposing stance and argue even in the face of facts / testimony.

Bottom line is Cryptsy has always been secretive so we just don't know what goes on behind closed doors !


@vancefox
Ahh i see.. with that small an amount of money i would guess no (no class action lawsuit)
I had Paypal rip me off for about 5k usd withdrawing from BTC-E and i DID hire a lawyer (and got my money back)
and i had to pay for that out of pocket too Sad
So i doubt these guys whining about Cryptsy will do anything LOL

go and visit the trollbox every hour at cryptsy and see the long line of people, yes people, who are losing tons of money and TIME chasing these imbeciles like horus thesun, bitjohn (no real names) at least we knew who karpeles was!
look at number of hero members in this thread too, not just people who joined up to troll

plus crypts have NO answers, same bs every day, they don't even have the guts to come into this thread, they have no ANSWERS

it will go legal as they have run out of time and they will be losing their lunch very soon, there is a run on coins, they never had, simple
they have been playing the system too long and they couldn't code for toffee

I don't think it is in the interest of Cryptsy to hold off on withdraws as that's how they make money now it's fee free trading. withdraw fee's I doubt the advertising covers costs, Unless of course they have spent every ones coins and don't give a fuck

While it is fee free trading and the "only" revenue source they claim to be making is withdrawal fees if you don't have the coin to send you have a capital problem; and the only way that I see for them to solve a capital problem is to prevent said capital from leaving your hands (i.e. withdrawal limits).

That is what I believe they are doing: reducing your (and any other non-verified individual) total withdrawal ability to increase total capital to pay out verified individual's withdrawal requests.

I'd love another explanation.  KYC seems to me to be bullshit.  You don't see Best Buy demanding your identification to sell you any of their goods, some of which is way over the value of a single btc.  Why are altcoins, all but one (I think) under 1btc in value each, considered (by Cryptsy) to be high value and then why are they still violating KYC if that's their stance?  That's my question.  I look forward to hearing an answer... but I won't hold my breath.

question , are individuals who want to exchange btc and fiat, or btc and other crypto,  subject to the reporting requirements of kyc anti money laundering rules, or does that fall under some other statute. For some reason I seem recall something about a $3,000 limit for stuff like that. Or is it $10,000 that would need to be reported. ?

KYC is a tricky bitch and I would recommend you ask all questions regarding it to a properly qualified and licensed individual but the general understanding I have is that KYC is not bound to an amount transacted but the type of transaction that occurred:  i.e. banking, gambling, high value products, etc.

person to person transactions look like they may not be subject to kyc...as its not with an institution or conducted by professional intermediaries

saw this on wiki:

For the purposes of a KYC policy, a Customer/user may be defined as:
- a person or entity that maintains an account and/or has a business relationship with the bank;
- one on whose behalf the account is maintained (i.e. the beneficial owner);
- beneficiaries of transactions conducted by professional intermediaries such as stockbrokers, Chartered Accountants, or solicitors, as permitted under the law; or
- any person or entity connected with a financial transaction which can pose significant reputational or other risks to the bank, for example, a wire transfer or issue of a high-value demand draft as a single transaction


P2P will never successfully be regulated or monitored.  Nature of the transaction.  What I was bringing up is the fact that businesses that conduct transactions using FIAT (not credit which has indentification as an inherent feature) do not have KYC requirements even for products/items that are in excess of 1k usd.  My simple statement plugs holes in Cryptsy's bullshit excuse for needing more identification.

I can walk into Best Buy and purchase as many Samsung UN78JS9500 TVs (on sale at 9999.98usd each as of this post) as I wish for cash but I can't withdraw more than 100usd per month from Cryptsy without telling them who I am, when I was born, where I live, etc?  That shows that their claim of needing said information is bullshit.  So much bullshit, so little time to shovel it.  Limiting FIAT transactions to 0 until verification of identity is in accordance with KYC.  Limiting altcoin transactions to any number above zero shows there is no KYC requirements at all.

My opinion.  Anyone who disagrees can kiss my ass.  Smiley

Best Buy isn't paying you and Best Buy pays Quarterly Taxes and Sales Tax there and they report a sale for PnL statements. They have accounting and costs of goods and are not exchanging their TV for BitCoin or giving you an Alt Coin as change for your purchase. They do give rewards though and those are written off as Advertising. But if they gave you Best Buy Alt Coins instead that were speculated on then they might have a different outcome. Even though they would still have to say what the coin is worth and that would be the top end so it stops all speculation on the up side.

The Dollar you give them also had to be reported as income on your Taxes and can be used as a write off if you are buying for a business expense. Just not the same comparison at all. Exchanges are held to a different standard. But this is the problem since the exchange knows exactly how many BitCoin or Alt Coin you sent in, so they would know how much you have lost and or made in trades. Then this amount only should be able to be held.

Since Cryptsy no longer makes money on trades and only on withdrawl technically you could setup a trading system within Cryptsy and pay no fees ever. A merchant would cash out to FIAT and that is it. So you setup a Merchant Account inside Cryptsy and Alt Coin is sent in for Free and the merchant gets an internal transfer to their account for a product and then ships you their product and cashes out to FIAT. Of course there may be no one buying but at least the trades are free. So you could setup a virtual Cryptsy Store and money only goes in and then translates back out to FIAT for the merchant. The coin that is bought inside Cryptsy could be BitCoin only too. Now Cryptsy would handle the Volume to FIAT and BitCoin onlly comes in and Goes out through Cryptsy to FIAT or whoever is willing to buy internally at Cryptsy and face the Transaction barrier or hold and play the market to offset a FIAT transfer fee.

Then Cryptsy takes their proceeds and goes to another exchange to sell lol!

Except Cryptsy is not the creator nor the maintainer of the altcoins.  They are merely a slightly more secure forum than raw P2P to exchange said coins between two people.  When they brought in FIAT to exchange for coins then they became a regulated trading platform.  That's the key.  Without FIAT there is no need for KYC.  So if you don't exchange FIAT at all, ever, KYC shouldn't ever hit your doorstep.

Since you disagreed with me... don't forget to kiss my ass.

I only disagree with your analogy of Best Buy and Cryptsy and I never said Cryptsy creates the alt coin only that if Best Buy did that they would have different scrutiny. You are right about the FIAT at Cryptsy, never disagreed on that. I think most people would rather pay the trading fees than deal with restrictions. I was offering a funny work around to defeat Cryptsy's new standards. It would be like sending your coin into a black hole but getting a merchant to sign on and use the API to accept payments internally would be the tweak. Total nonsense but funny since the idea would make Cryptsy have to go to another exchange to sell their bitcoin since they would be the only ones buying with FIAT.

Oh wait I take that back, Cryptsy did create an Alt Coin... Cryptsy Points. It is their coin and market. They used those Cryptsy Points to Launder their fraudulent MN2 market shares.

I have been watching this thread since it started - and made a few comments along the way

I verified to level 1 when this came in

I have been withdrawing/depositing from Crypsty the whole time with NO PROBLEMS - both before and after the new limits came into play

I have just done a string of alt withdraws - all through in a few minutes

I must conclude that this thread is just bollocks


The story is running thin on me - its bullshit.

The trolls here are just trying to crush Cryptsy - and I guess are paid by another exchange.

Believe what you want  - but the proof is in the pudding........... at least for me

NO - I am not paid by Cryptsy - and not a recent account for a purpose

The way they ninja-ed these limits onto their users and the unusual silence from the typically verbal BitJohn et al is a good indication that the whole thing is a big stinky pile of cowcrap.

Mistake me if i'm wrong on the timeline, but doesn't it also all coincide nicely with coinfire's last post about cryptsy? Are they trying to clean house now and get compliant no matter what state people live (Or country)? in?  Tongue


It does coincide indeed. I'm still laughing at the uncanny similarities here:

Honestly, I don't understand why some people have so much hate for altcoins. There are some decent altcoins out there.

Also, I really don't see cryptsy as an outright ponzi scheme. I think of cryptsy as more of as a poorly coded exchange under the control of a woefully apathetic management team. Frankly, I'm surprised they even lasted this long.

Unfortunately, I think we'll see them last a bit longer though. No matter how bad it gets, I expect there will always be a pack of fanboy idiots that will stick with these imploding exchanges until the end. For example, look at the mcxnow fiasco. There were dozens of lemming traders kissing realsolid's ass all the way up until he fucked them and ran off to Europe.
