yea man keep screwing us in the ass... somebody has to say it right? security should be #1, maybe you will learn next time, but for now I will never keep my shit on coinex ever, going to cryptsy.

Bwahahaha - Cryptsy is a vacuum where coins go in and only some come out. Enjoy the half a day to 2 month delays getting your coins out of there. If you see a deal and want to make a trade and make some profit - and move your coins quickly - forget it.

They're a gox waiting to happen - IMHO. I get emails filled with excuses every few days from Cryptsy for coins they lost 2 months ago. They repeatedly close unresolved tickets, sending the same BS excuses each time they do. They've taken NO action, but to make excuses, and lying about the last email each time they send a new one. I withdrew all money I could from there (which was a decent sum). The process took a month. Some missing coins only showed up this week. Others are still MIA.

Learn to use paper wallets. Learn not to keep more than you can afford to lose at any time on an online site.

CoinEx and Captainfuture have always taken care of things quickly, CS tickets, etc, and are days / weeks faster than Cryptsy for trading and moving your coins around. If you do a withdrawal from CoinEx it's IN YOUR WALLET nearly always within 3 seconds. They have always responded to tech support within hours - if not minutes. People call Cryptsy "Craptsy" for a good reason.

When you get your first set of excuses and delays from Cryptsy, complain to no one. I have dozens of emails here that would floor you on their back peddling, total lack of action, etc, and I've caught their employees even going to other websites and forums to troll and make sure that people don't expose the Cryptsy nonsense - rather than fixing the problem.

CoinEx is by far my favorite trade site. It's miserable having to mine and transfer to make trades. CoinEx made everything nice and easy: buyers on the front end, miners on the back end.

Withdraw your mining profits daily and don't fret when you lose 24 hours of hashing. I lost maybe $40 in there - plus some OSC that I'd not created a wallet for.

My god, after all the Mt. Gox crap the idea that people would still store hundreds or thousands of dollars of coins online is insane. These coins are worth money - they ARE money. Pay attention. Hackers will do all they can to steal. Major bank sites are hacked all the time. Even Target stores were targeted recently - the hackers totally successful. Banks and credit card companies are hacked all the time.

Learn to protect yourself. Learn encryption. Learn paper wallets. Keep your funds in the block chain where it would take the failure of the entire global internet to lose your coins.

ffftfffft!
