Today Coinex has had another problem...
They said, that last days they did double payout, and have sustracted coins to the people, then the people was with negative balance suddenly. It is a big problem, because if the people change emails, they will have a large losses...
Thats good news Coradan, that you were able to get your coins, this seems like a potentially big issue. It might be best practice to keep all your coin's out of the exchange when your finished trading until they can get all the bugs worked out. Cryptsy is considered a Tier 1 AltCoin exchange and it is important that we support all exchanges as they go through there growing pains however the recent post should be a warning to all of us that none of this is 100% safe. Consider the following post...
http://www.thebitcoinchannel.com/archives/30074As a best practice, you might want to keep your coins in your local wallet once your finished trading, it would be a shame if these exchanges were to shut down and you could not get your coins at any cost. We expect overtime these issues will be less and less, but for the time being consider the Mount Gox April 2013 flash crash as a warning as to what can happen when the system cannot take the load it is under. Also, an important point, Cryptsy and all Alt Coin exchanges for that matter, are dealing with many more complicated trades then the pure Bitcoin only sites. Due to the very fact that multiple Alt Coin's are being traded on a single exchange should give pause as to how complicated and stressed the systems can get.
We have to hand it to Big Vern and the team at Cryptsy, this is not an easy task that they have, however you should practice good common sense and safety as we move forward.
