maybe as an investor, you should be more worried about the btc walls that always go up. Do you really think most people are going to use an exchange that some big trader is manipulating. Do you think the volume is affected by this? I dont trade there nearly as much as i used to and adding shitcoins isnt going to change my mind.
i think they stated they have partnered with a liquidity provider. the increased liquidity is preferred actually.
however, if i may rant a little...
from personal communications throughout 2013, I was told i was one of their biggest clients (traders) doing the >1200 btc/3 month volume required to get the low 1%! trading fee.
however, i recently decided to stop trading there. generally, the two main reasons were:
1) the 1-1.5% trading fee seems ridiculous for trading. i would certainly increase my volume to compensate for the lower fees, but currently the fee is prohibitive. In addition, the trading platform would get a 5/10 score from me. comparatively, its just poor and slow. Since they likely know these two things, together they make me feel like they do not want me trading there that much... so i have stopped.
2) as i asked above (to no reply), the withdrawal fee is 0.001. they state this is because of the client software. Well, as we know, 0.9 client was available many months ago. In fact, due to the recent heartbleed, they were forced to update their client as well. So, they are choosing to keep the fee at 0.001 instead of the industry wide standard of 0.0001 (or letting the client decide). In general, this is just troubling as this also leaves me wondering whether they are either A) unaware of the issue B) too lazy to solve it C) to incompetent to solve it, or D) purposely keeping it high... which would you prefer?
i do look forward to some/any changes being made so i can return to my previous volumes... if not, well i suppose thats why competition exists.
