No, they dont have your private key. You can savely use etheredelta atm though. If you afraid about etherdelta use forkdelta instead here https://forkdelta.github.io/ same database with etherdelta but use different dns and site.

I think while you are using ED along with metamask, you are not sharing your private keys with ED. Though ED itself doesn't store any private keys, but a phished site may collect your data if you entered it to the site.

I have many tokens on Metamask.

Yesterday I bought some coins with Metamask on Etherdelta. Do they have my private keys, now?

Should I move my tokens to another Metamask-account?


No,metamask will protect your private keys by putting your keys encrypted in metamask so even if you trade in any exchanges your private keys wont be compromised by these hackers,metamask is the best extension to protect your walletts from the hackers it is recommended by MEW.

I have used it for a few weeks, but after that I have tested Idex Market and decided to move from Etherdelta to Idex. I think that Idex more simple is to use, especially for beginners.

If you use metamask, then your private keys are never passed to the exchange. That is the best approach to interact with etherdelta or myetherwallet. When the etherdelta site was hacked, all the users that were using the site with metamask were safe. By the way, you say you bought some coins yesterday? How did you manage to do that? The etherdelta site is having problems with it's API, at least according to their official twitter, and you can't really buy or sell tokens. Last trade was like 7 days ago or something like that.

I do not trust anything that asks your private keys. Hackers even hack Ledger Nano, how can you think that MetaMask is safe?

My etherium wallet is hacked a month ago. I think it is hacked via Etherdelta or Metamask. I do not trust any of these sites. I suggest you the same, I would uninstall metamask right now. Sending anyone private key is insane
You probably got phished or you have some malwares,i have been using metamask for years without losing any penny from them.I trust metamask and mew,metamask is just an extesion recommended by myetherwallet,it is just a tool to protect your privatekeys from using etherdelta,it doesnt require your keys before using it.Do you really know how metamask works?

Youll be fine, its not like they have your privatekey or something. If you have metamask instaled you not possible to go to phising site though. cause metammask will tell you that site is fake.

If you have metamask installed your private keys wil; remain in the metamask,even if you use etherdelta your keys wont be stored there unlike to other exchanges.But beware of these phishing sites,etherdelta was hacked few months ago which cause a lot of people lose their money,the hacker used DNS server to redirect etherdelta users to a phishing sites.

Its completly save, they dont store any privatekey that ued there. And even if ED hacked your ethereum or token will be save ( as long you not store at etherdelta or it not in buy or sell order )
