Topic: The 502 and 504 errors as well as the "lag" on Cryptsy are deliberate and a SCAM (Read 6289 times)

You might want to go read coinmarket's support thread now, they basically told everyone to fuck off and die if you have problems and don't like how site is working. They closed the support thread because they were fighting with one of their customers, the site is having tons of problems and now no support. They said they won't shed any tears if people leave, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out basically. This person from coinmarket must want to have his business go into the shitter if this is how they respond to people having problems, missing deposits, negative balances, thought they were going to be better than cryptsy. Now I am too worried to put anymore coins on coinmarket.io after seeing the attitude they have.

im startiong to think the same.

lets hope coinmarket.io gets more coins at least they are fast and when they are issues they keep us upto date

Agree with the OP 100%. If this was a regulated stock exchange these guys would've been arrested long ago.

It's pretty clear that these errors are an intentional manipulation by Cryptsy staff. I had two computers running, both watching a coin being traded. I could see the transactions going through and everything. On my first computer, I hit the refresh button and was slammed with a 504 error saying that the server timed out. Bullshit. On my second computer, I could still see trades being made, and could even place trades myself. I used a Chrome plugin to reload ONLY the graph on my second computer and sure enough it loaded properly, meanwhile my first computer is still spitting out 504 errors. Yesterday Cryptsy added Vertcoin onto their exchange, did NOT announce it via twitter like they usually do with all new additions, and then coincidentally upon trying to login everyone was receiving 502 errors. How convenient that some very few people were able to continue making transactions at this time. Most likely Cryptsy staff. Think about it, you have an exchange, you see who's depositing what and where, you likely can see how many people are watching which page, you have the ability to short sell using everyone's pooled wallets, and the biggest one, you have the ability to delay deposits entirely like what happened with Vertcoin users, they had 250 confirmations and up, which means deliberate manipulation by Cryptsy staff so they can sell their own coins. This leaves the doors wide open to being screwed over and scammed by the people running the show like Big Vern. I'd be absolutely shocked if they weren't fucking everyone over. I for one and pulling all my coins out of there ASAP, I've already lost 5 bitcoins simply due to Cryptsy either not being available to me due to errors, from slow deposits/withdrawals, or simply due to them taking forever to make a transaction. 5 Bitcoins is nothing to sneeze at, people get sued for far far less and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't considering it.

TLDR: FUCK CRYPTSY AND FUCK BIG DICKHEAD VERN

Is anyone here able to access www.cryptsy.com ?
I've never seen this level of negligence when handling this much money.
Gov needs to step in and shut trading down and let us withdraw our coins.

502 over an HOUR now. Ridiculous. Can you imagine what would happen if E*Trade were down for an hour? People would get fired, sued, heads would roll and the SEC would launch an investigation.
The maintenance thing is bullshit. You know what any normal company or person would do? Launch a clone site and apply the fixes there, then once that's done port it over.
Any software engineer or programmer worth their salt that is applying changes in a live environment knows how to do this, but Big Bird clearly doesn't.
That would only be a 5 minute hiccup at most. What we are seeing now is one of two things, either a scam being played out, or amateur hour in Big Bird's basement.

i lost so much too, they crapped out at every crucial moment on Vertcoin. It's becoming highly suspicious.

just be happy you made it so far, get your money out of Cryptsy before it shuts down for good, sooner or later their servers will be hacked and all the user wallets stolen and cracked, don't wait for that day. It will happen

Shrug. You are clearly convinced, and nothing anyone says will change your mind.
I'll offer this from the Cryptsy twitter feed:

No, this is not an accidental issue. No site that gets overloaded with 1/10th their peak volume crashes and stays offline for hours at a time, while staff and insiders manipulate and continue trading during the blackout.
This is deliberate and there is indeed malice behind all of this. Right before the 502 error appeared, the site was running great. If the issue was an overload, then it would gradually start running worse.

Undergoing maintenance new servers and upgrades. Can experience intermittent connectivity issues. Will clear up in the next few hours.

I'm not defending them, except to the extent that I think the neverending problems that Cryptsy has are due to incompetence and lack of adequate support, not to malice.
When in doubt, blame Murphy rather than Machiavelli.
The standard of performance provided by Cryptsy is appalling, I don't think there has been a single week in all the time I've used them where there there haven't been major issues, and recently there hasn't been a single day without timeouts.
It is telling, though, that with all this, noone has managed to provide any real competition, which suggests that it isn't as easy as people make out.
