If yes, what do you think about them?
No but what is really special about them?

Okcoin has the most liquidity compared to the other future platforms. You can use up to 20x leverage. It's really where you want to be trading futures.

Well they don't really have a platform, just an exchange, with trading through the website. If you don't have custom software platform for trading then trading with 10 x or 20 x is somewhat asking for problems.

I used to. My primary trading was done at 10x futures. However, with all the rumors surrounding Okcoin (bad security protocols, front running their customers, making the market with un-backed accounts) I moved my funds elsewhere.

Sticking to BTC-E, Bitfinex, and Coinbase. But I do miss the low/no fees.

You can try HUOBI to lternative market, if you comfortable with Okcoin, Huobi will be comfortable too... and you must remember we can trade without fee on HUOBI and low interest Loan

I used to, but I gave it up about 5 months ago. The woodchipper took me for 7 btc and my lesson was learnt.
Moved on and never going to look back.

I have asked them to do a proof of reserves and publish balances managed by them - really hoping they are doing it.

the thing is, how much trust can you put into that? there was a reddit thread recently where the former CTO stated that Okcoin gamed the audit. here's the link:

Quote
I can confirm OKCoin removed a number of accounts (used by OKCoin bots) to pass the Proof-of-Reserve audit in Aug 2014. In essence, these bots trade on fractional (or fictional) reserves. Stephan Thomas was lied to during the audit. This is an unfortunate limitation of the proof-of-reserves method.

not too much i prefer to trade bitcoin, in another way, with stock and commodities, by closing or opening position, i can have a better control over the market, and there is more fluctuation, thus you're not forced to do leverage

Yes I love okcoin, but I haven't been trading futures recently.  The market is too stagnant & unpredictable for my taste right now, but I have had a great experience on their platform and will use it again in the future.
