BitJohn just PM'd me informing that the problem had been resolved, so I logged on to Cryptsy to check and confirmed that all three deposits were finally credited.
Well, the price dropped 5 times since May, did he promise any compensations on behalf of cryptsy?
You're absolutely right. I even thought of starting a campaign to demand more from Cryptsy. However, from previous experience (including my experience as a consumer defense activist for over 15 years), I've learned that most people won't leave their comfort zones to participate in this kind of action. Take user
ADRIATICon above, for example - he only PM'd BitJohn and posted on the thread that he had done that, but never exposed to the community exactly what happened to his coins. And he is far from being the only one to act like this. Since I have no vocation for martyrdom, I decided to leave it up to each affected user to look after himself, even though that kind of selfish attitude disgusts me.
Thanks,
TheIrishman. Since you "ask", I'll share that, beyond being a Newbie, I am a very small-time miner that is being forced out of mining due to the server farms, increasing difficulty, low profitability, and lack of free time to monitor various "options." For my small and late posted deposits, Cryptsy eventually threw me some Points after complaining privately to them, and I cannot afford to continue to pursue what is of little reward with anything like litigation. I also suspect others are in the same position I am but don't participate in a forum. Those with server farms and dedicated staffs can probably carry the mantle much more affordably by taking further action and sharing their experiences for others to benefit from. Sincerely, good luck.
