well that is why i store my really long term coins at my wallet.

but i also day trade. there are times when i want to sell then because of confirmation time someone dumped ahead of me

is trex more secure than bter? or maybe hacker will only steal btc and not other alt

It really doesn't matter if you store your coins on bittrex, poloniex or cryptsy.. as long as you don't control the wallet consider your coins are not secure.. even the biggest BTC exchanges got hacked (bitstamp for example..)

Bter has been hacked and as far as I know Bittrex has not been hacked yet. Most of the time if an exchange gets hacked only the high value coins get stolen. If you are trading in low value shit coins they are unlikely to be stolen if an exchange is hacked.

There are no guarantees though, when Cryptoine was hacked some shit coins were stolen along with the bitcoins.

He also mean to say that he dont want to download another blockchain (altcoin wallet). That is just like me. I bought some altcoin today and sell them tomorrow. There is no need to download another wallet if you bought the coin for short term investment. Bittrex should be safe enough.

Do you prefer to compromise the security of your coins only for some confirmation time ? Roll Eyes

no need to store them there, deposit is fast enough with bittrex, they have 2fa, they should be safe enough anyway

better to hold them on your local client

store your coins to a wallet that is fully controlled by you, not in 3rd party wallets
