Cryptsy is an absolute joke of a service at the moment.

They clearly have little idea of the marketplace they are attempting to offer a product in, that is an EXCHANGE which requires by DEFAULT :

LOW latency
NEGLIGIBLE downtime
ZERO account errors
ZERO lost balances

BigVern and them team should try something a little more at their level....maybe flower arranging or something.

...or comedy, I feel they would be quite good a that.

Stop defending Cryptsy, this website is costing people tons of hard earned money, how could anyone not be against that.
This world has gone insane and standards are at an all time low.

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.

Dude, websites with lots of load do NOT get bad gateway errors. Think you need to brush up on your HTTP skills.

The actual error is:
Quote
502 Bad Gateway

nginx

http://www.nginxtips.com/502-bad-gateway-using-nginx/
Quote
Many times we can browse the web and find a 502 bad gateway error at Nginx.   There are a few reasons why you will find this message in  your webserver log, and here we will teach you how to fix it.

When you will find 502 bad gateway error:

Nginx running as proxy for Apache web server.
Nginx running with PHP-FPM daemon.
Nginx running with other services as gateway.
Bad buffering/timeout configuration.
Before getting deep into all of this options, you must understand what does the error message means. So, the error it’s a 502 number and it’s happening at the gateway. What the hell is a gateway? In simple words, a gateway, is like an access point, a bridge that communicate one service with another, in this case the gateway can be a service/application that is working and recieving requests from Nginx web server.

Now, let’s explore each one of this reasons to understand the 502 bad gateway message:

Nginx as Proxy for Apache: in this case, the gateway is Apache. When you use Nginx as proxy for Apache, if apache dies or it’s not well configured, it can cause this 502 error. How to fix it? Most of the times, restarting apache web server will get rid of this, but you must check the log files to know why exactly this was caused.
Nginx with PHP-FPM: same as Apache example, let’s imagine your php daemon stop working, or get’s overloaded by requests, it will not work properly and the all the php requests from nginx would not be served, so, an error will appear. How to fix it? Restart php-fpm daemon and check the logs.
Nginx with other services/apps: try restarting the other service behind nginx and explore the logs to find the reason why it happened.[/qoute]

If the system nginx is talking to does not respond quickly enough, you will get the 502 error.

This world has gone insane and standards are at an all time low. While we are getting 504 and 502 errors, staff is trading just fine. How is that fair?
504 is going on 30 minutes now, thats NOT load. I've seen websites get hammered before and sure they run like shit and take forever to load, but don't spit out 504's.

Yes I think that, are you naive and gullible or something? So much evidence points to bullshit excuses for what is happening on that exchange. Look at all the others with problems. Whenever something big happens, like a new coin gets added or a country bans bitcoin, then all of a sudden Cryptsy takes a shit

Because whenever this happens suddenly far more people try to trade, and they can't handle the increased volume.

Quote
and people are still trading behind the scenes.

Because the issue are only affecting the front-end system, and existing trades still execute, and new trades can still be placed through the API.

Quote
Why don't they pause all trading while they fix the issues?

Because it would cost them money. And even more people would complain that Cryptsy was screwing them.

Quote
Why don't they use the ridiculous amount of money to upgrade their shitty servers? Because it's a fucking scam, that's why.

No, because they don't have the staff/competence to run a site of the size and complexity that Cryptsy has become.

Quote
That is an outright lie, Cryptsy is only as big as they make it. Why are they adding coins daily if they can't handle the load.
Because it makes them more money.
They can handle the load most of the time, but cannot handle the spikes.
That makes them more money that having less coins and running at lower volume all the time.
Do you think anyone would have seriously predicted the level of DOGE trading that is happening, for example?

Quote
It's because they CAN handle it, they are just throttling the connection to fuck people over.
It went from 504 to running perfectly for 5 minutes, to 502 now.

Which is exactly what you would expect to see if a system is under-specc'd for the peak load it is handling.
Putting the paranoia aside for a moment, why exactly to they want to "fuck you over"?
How does that make them money?

Is it really really annoying when you get 502 and 504 errors? Yes.
Does it happen to me too? Yes.
Do I think that BigVern is out to get me? No.

I guess running at such volume is not a trivial task at all but anyway it would be much better if they provided more info

Please like the idea on their support forum ( https://cryptsy.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/75845 )

Your post made no sense, put the bong down. Judging by your post you are probably just some ~18 year old Call of Duty player who has no business talking about money.

Yeah. Exactly Cheesy LOL. See - another great conclusion from OP. Makes you look even more stupid now. If that's somehow possible, as you're nearing to the zero.

You see this all the time when mining pools are being DDOS'd. The frontend servers can't handle the load, and new miners can't authenticate, but people already mining can carry on find. Should mining pools shut down completely in that situation, because it would be more fair?

Yo, do not blindly repeat what noob Fontase says. Or better - just wait out until those illiterate noobs from twitter there "make their own crypstsy", like they talk around, then transfer your money directly into their pockets.
Sure, because it requires no knowledge, and if you're thief, more the better.

So, read up a bit http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E504.html
Now I imagine how most of this tech shit is way too confusing for you illiterate noobs, which most of you here are. All grace to the exceptions.
But it you have stayed in school longer, or read some books about this mysterious internet you're using, you would probably write less embarassing stuff around, making you look stupid.

So, yeah, Cryptsy probably has more than 15 servers to balance this load of huge amount of dipshits like people here who try to earn 1USD by raping the HTTP connection, refreshing (aka same as DDOS) all the time hoping to get 0.1 USD more, plus it also probably has bunch of even more worse dipshits trying to hack what they can, because making money from cryptos apparently isn't fast enough, theft is always faster.
So, then they probably spend whole day trying to fix shit for you ungrateful noobs, while you continue refreshing because maybe you can squeze out 0.1 USD more, but when it don't work, crying begins.

Here's an idea; why exchange, let me post my BTC and ALT's addresses, you can simply dump your stuff directly here, save us all the crying and expedite your anyway probable crypto venture doom, as with this level of knowledge, it's pretty much matter of time when you fail and loose all money.

Less Jersey Shore, more books, friendly advice.

Jesus, I'm amazed by levels of crap people do here.

Adults are losing hard earned cash here, that is a fact kid. In every other industry or website, the loss of money can be retrieved in one fashion or the next, but Cryptsy is able to rape everyone's wallet without challenge.

A week ago, there was a post from a cryptsy dev that they made 250,000 USD in 1 week or a few days.

Cite?
The IPO stated: "We currently are collecting in fees over 100 BTC per month"
That is less than $100,000 a month, or ~$25,000 a week, a factor of 10 out from what you are claiming.

Yes it is down again...

But still there is no other option, as most of us need high volume exchanges.

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.

Oh look, 504 error right on schedule. Clearly a scam, 504 means gateway error. Means that people with root access such as the devs don't have to go through this "down" gateway, and just dump or buy via the database.

Willing to bet there will be a wild swing in price on targeted coins when it comes back on. That would be a definitive confirmation of a scam.

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
you are a moron mate
REALLY?U THINK THAT?
