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.
I'm pretty sure that the mass exodus they've been experiencing has been loud and clear.
It looks like Poloniex is the biggest exchange now. We seriously need a decentralized exchange. I feel like we could have that much sooner if developers would give up on the idea of fiat to crypto, leave that to a market place like Open Bazaar, and focus only on crypto to crypto exchanges.
And Poloniex is exactly where I went. Deposited my BTC, cleared in a matter of minutes (as expected based on BTC confirmation speed), put my order up, it filled in about 30 minutes, withdrew my DASH and it cleared and hit my wallet in a matter of less than a minute (as expected). Can't ask for things to work as they should any better than that.
+1 for Poloniex! With Cryptsy we were sometimes waiting ages for BTC and Dash deposits to clear (even well after they have fully confirmed).
+ If you verify and send a message to support, they seem to unlock your account to enable lightning quick deposits and withdrawals. BTC deposits hit your account and are ready to trade with only 1 confirmation!
