The fact that you have not even tried to reset your password concerns me.   You are willing to make forum posts and replies and make support tickets, but you are unwilling to take a few seconds to reset your password?   This really makes no sense to me.   It's good practice to change your passwords from time to time anyways.

From our perspective, this really just looks like somebody trying to access an account that they are not authorized to access.   We get people trying to social engineer their way into peoples accounts all the time, so we don't take this lightly.

Yes, this email conversation took place.  No, we did not end up doing any part of the idea.   This was long before any of the drama took place, and even then I was not comfortable with the idea.    

I have no interest in GAW and they have no interest in Cryptsy.

Reading over this forum really reaffirms my decision not to frequent here.   There is so much misinformation and out of context information that this has really become more of a tabloid forum than one that actually helps users and the community.

I want to link my Bitcointalk name with BTCJam's. Verification code: a905fb74-7a28-483c-831a-d85746950341

We are now on v0.1.5.  Everything appears in order and the market has been turned back on.

BigVern

Don't worry guys. Once we figure out the issue with our client downloading the chain, all pending deposits will post.  We are working directly with the Crypti Devs.

BigVern

We are on version 0.1.3, however it does look like our client stopped downloading blocking.   I'm restarting it and it's downloading the chain now.

BigVern

This is an incorrect statement.  We have not begun daily limitations on cryptocurrencies yet and will phase it in slowly when we do.   In any case, if you do alot of large deposits and withdrawals, then you should really get verified now instead of later.

I bid 10 BTC

I will look into what is going on with NXT.    The devs changed the protocol awhile back and we had to rewrite some things to support the NQT stuff.    We are 100% funded in the wallets, so that is not the issue.

BigVern

NXT is something we are continuing to improve on.  Right now the process of deposits is a bit inefficient, and so it does tend to take longer than it should.

We don't forge any NXT currently and have not in the past.   I would like to in the future because it will improve the network, but we need to the deposits working faster first.

BigVern

There are several things going on here it seems.   I'll see how many I can address.

1. Federal Money Transmitter License - There is actually no such thing at a federal level.   The only thing the Fed's require is that you register and file SAR reports when deemed necessary.   They also want us to check to ensure we aren't doing business with anybody on the OFAC list.    We are registered and the list checking and reporting is fairly easy to do, but detecting suspicious activity is a very subjective thing.   It's certainly easier to determine suspicious activity when dealing with USD.   Before launching USD, we will have the necessary items in place.

2. State Level Licenses - The states aren't going to come and shut you down, but they may fine you and tell you not to deal with people in their state until you get licensed there.   We are in the process of getting state licenses.   Some are harder than others.   This is another thing we are waiting on before doing USD.    Many of the states who we previously thought would require a license have stated that we probably do not need one.  Many states have laws which were written before the internet.  Some state requirements are a little overboard.

3. SR stuff.  Just because some coins passed through a service that ended up at SR doesn't mean that it would be covered under any laws which would result in forfeitures.  Only if we were willfully and knowingly performing such actions, which we are not.    We may be subpoenaed for information in such cases where funds pass through here, which of course we would comply with.

BigVern

We do not operate with fractional reserves.    Any exchange that does that will never get licensed.    Part of getting licensed is having the financials audited, including customer held funds.  I have to assume that any coin can and will have a "bank run" at some point.   I'm not a bank and I do not lend coins out, so I have no business in misappropriating coins on deposit.   If you want to move all funds out, then they are there to move.   They may, however, need to be moved from our offline wallet to the hot wallet first.

Any overwithdrawals caused by a system issue in the past and going forward are covered either by myself or the profits of the exchange itself (if the user is not honorable enough to send them back).   These issues are rare and getting rarer.

I've been seeing some cases where transactions are taking quite awhile to get into a block.   Here is a recent example:

https://blockchain.info/tx/63603266e15bd8734899b87c6f46320b56544b9f3b3f86ddeaa7de6599a3d036

Received on 2013-11-07 but included into block on 2013-11-09.  There was a fee posted of 0.0002 btc.

Anybody have any ideas?  Would increasing the fee to 0.001 help?  I'm already setting it to twice what the default fee is.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I had similar issues.   All outstanding deposits came in this morning.

BigVern

I am aware of some bugs in the current implementation of the pool using mmfce.   I have tried to plug as many of them as possible, I think I've gotten most of the issues with the missing block payouts.

Instead of trying to continuously fix mmfce, I'm working on a new pool software, which should work much better and run much smoother than this version.   Until I get the new version out, I will continue to patch this one up as much as I can.

BigVern

The account was flagged for suspicious activity, such as depositing a large amount and immediately making a withdrawal of the same amount.  These types of flags require manual review. 

BigVern

I'll vouch for Hydro.   I don't agree with everything he says, but he's pretty high on my trust-o-meter.

BigVern

The database was rejecting connections to one of the webservers due to connection errors.  This is why some people had no problems while others were getting error notices since we have multiple web servers.

BigVern

Okay guys, I think I found the issue.   Should be working better now.
