You know, this is really pissing me off. This is not an easy way to make money, at all. First we wade into it, many of us with little to no programing experience, fight through the maze of missing and misinformation, figure out how to get the miners set up, risk our hard earned money, which is which is harder to earn lately because of all the time it took to learn how to get mining efficiently, on hardware that we constantly have to add to and maintain. Then it's time to trade. Some people like to gamble. I don't. So, I pay very close attention to prices, and don't make long term predictions, which makes trading a very meticulous process. But I can reliably make gains that way, and not losses...

... as long as the FUCKING EXCHANGE DOESN'T SUCK.

Since this has to be an income for me, and not play money, I can't make big trades. I barely make 1% on each one, and cryptsy takes half of that, which is fine, as long as the exchange is there for me when I need it. That means that the information I see is in real time, not two minutes old. Thirty seconds is too long. It means that when I withdraw money, the withdraw is processed, then, not days later when the coin the shit is stuck in is selling for half as much and I've lost any gains it could have made me.

We mine all the coins. We make all the trades. We take ALL the risk, they take NONE. We do all the work, and all they have to do is keep the damn exchange working.

These problems are not just mere inconveniences. THEY COST US MONEY!

I'm sure each employee has a difficult job and works very hard. But vern... no.

High patronage is NOT a problem, for ANY business. If your site is to slow to handle the traffic that makes you your money, you need to dump that money that's flooding in on it until it can keep up. He obviously has not been doing enough of that. It's been this way too damn long.

Bter has plenty of volume in DOGE. Their trade fees are 28% less than vern's. They're rescanning the bitcoin blockchain right now, so don't expect a payout until that's done. Other than that, there's no reason for anyone to stay with cryptsy.


If too much traffic is his problem, we should help him out.
