you might consider adding a column to indicate things like slow-paying, withholding withdrawals, or similar scam accusations. it looks like trade satoshi is having some problems:
https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/trade-satoshi/We have received reports from the Safex and ColossusXT teams that user deposits are being withheld. Please be careful with your funds.
i think there are similar accusations against hitbtc and yobit too.
Hmmm, I'm not so sure about adding those columns, as almost no exchange is perfect. Scam accusations exist for almost every exchange out there. However, what do you say if I add a column of "frequency of accusations at Bitcointalk" and list the total number of accusations received by each of the exchanges within this forum till now?
it's a tricky issue but obviously some exchanges are more trustworthy than others. one metric could be trust flags on bitcointalk. for example, livecoin has a red trust flag with significant support:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=462136but if an exchange is really small or doesn't have a big forum presence, they won't necessarily be flagged.
the complaints against tradesatoshi are mounting. coinmarketcap has also begun warning about tradesatoshi:
https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/trade-satoshi/at some point, one should stop recommending these exchanges at all. if they stay on the list, there should be
some indication of the issues.
Moreover, that "slow-paying" column can get very confusing as well. Today, I literally received a withdrawal from TradeSatoshi within 60 seconds, while Binance took about 20 minutes to process my BTC withdrawal (resultantly, my BitPay's invoice got expired and I had to write a ticket to them about this delay); but I just cannot say in any way that TradeSatoshi is faster than Binance, because sometimes Binance processes the withdrawals faster while TradeSatoshi doesn't.
i don't consider 20 minutes "slow-paying". i'm thinking more about withholding withdrawals for days, weeks, indefinitely---like mt gox and cryptsy were doing before they went down. keeping wallets in "maintenance" mode for weeks or months constitutes similar scam behavior. and i wouldn't have a separate column for slow-paying......just one column to cover all scam issues.
Thanks for your suggestion and feedback; I totally understand what you're saying. To tackle that issue, I've come up with the following solution:
-I'll be compiling all the complaints of each exchange submitted to the Scam Accusation section, and
post them all in a thread with a separate post for each exchange.
-From each of post, which will have the overall compilation of scam accusations of a specific exchange, the frequency/no. of total accusations may be extracted and used in this thread in a new column.
-The exchanges that have the most scam accusations will be colored as red.
What do you think about this?
A column if the deposit address is renewable would be nice.
bleutrade, coinex, btcpop, southx
Even though I know absolutely nothing about any of those exchanges, I'll still have a look at them and try to add them to the comparison. Thanks, mate!
