Topic: Have over 0.3BTC on Cryptsy? DO NOT TRY TO WITHDRAW! (Read 9874 times)

according to Vern:
http://blog.cryptsy.com/

13k BTC, and 300k LTC were stolen July 29, 2014 (a year and a half ago)

My research has turned up 456,501 DRK/Dash were also stolen (only large tx that day)

No idea on any other coins...

Well if you have read their email, you know this is prety serious.
ALL activity has been halted. There even is a link to get your money back (which wasn't working).

So yes, it's time to worry now.

Many are suggesting other options other than the 3 mentioned above:
4. Spread the loss to all users in the system and allow trades to continue.

You don't know that. Probably not a very popular opinion here but I trust the guy. Of course I wouldn't recommend to anyone to deposit funds on cryptsy right now but If I had some bitcoin left I think I would risk some more.

yes ...

Important System Notification

Phishing Attempt:: There is a phishing attempt going around prompting users to go to a cryptsy-refund website. Do not go to this website or give your login details on any website other than the official Cryptsy website. There were two avenues of the Phishing attempt. One was via SMS, using our provider Twilio and gained entry into our logs and sending ability via a weak password on that account. The passwords on this account have been secured. The other avenue was via email using the same mailing service we use (Mailgun), but was not sent using our account. It is uncertain where the email list for this Phishing attempt was attained from, as we do not show any unauthorized access to our Mailgun account nor our internal systems. We are still investigating this matter. If you were a victim of this phishing, you should log into your account at Cryptsy immediately and do the following: 1. Change your password and enable 2fa if you don’t already have it enabled. 2. Check your pending withdrawals, we currently have withdrawals disabled so if you see one that shouldn’t be there you can request to have it cancelled. Regarding other issues that have been apparent at Cryptsy for the last couple months, I will be making another post to explain what has been happening in the next couple days. Until we are able to determine the extent of the phishing attempt, all withdrawals are paused and will be cancelled before they are brought back live.....BigVern

Not yet, I'm still waiting for a "hacker attack" where all coin will be "stolen" by evil hackers...

Not sure if this is bad news or good news, at least its communication.  I'm flipping a coin, its a positive     I have withdrawn various alt coins, last batch was some DOGE.  I presume its all locked down now till the dust settles on whatever happened  \_(ツ)_/¯

Cryptsy ceases its activities....
game over

The guy who runs this site is a solid guy, Im sure he'll do the hard work when he can get it back online fully

I've tried with potcoin and it work flawlessy.
DMD is a no go btw.
I tried 10 DMD without a problem. But also with 500 and yes I am waiting again.

Too bad i can't cancell it anymore.

If you need volume, there are only Poloniex and Bittrex. Cryptopia and Yobit still need more volume, although they cover a lot of PoW coins (good for miners).

The "big ones" won't work, BTC, LTD, Dash, sometime Doge. According to a mod, cold wallets are frozen so you can only withdraw from the hot wallets, as long as there are enough coins in.

Try CLAM, NOTE, XMG and DMD. Had success with them so far.

Whats the best alternative exchanges to cryptsy at the moment or long term.   I owner has problems over a divorce case, his wife trying to confiscate customer funds for alimony which sounds unlikely to be legal
