yup... all sorts of issues right now, people ddos'ing it, *EVERYONE* basically doing a bank run on it trying to withdraw... i had like a tiny tiny bit of bitcoin in there i tried to change over to litecoin to cash out and when i tried it turned my account negative.... it was only a few dollars worth so i was just like fuck it... i never keep very much on exchanges for these exact reasons... and shit like this https://www.allcrypt.com/blog/2014/03/the-hack-the-resolution/
Yeah, that's not good. What's needed is more security, but how much can you use before it becomes a pain in the ass?
well... the thing that bothered me the most about that article is the fact that they called the 'hacker' basically stupid... yet they are the ones that allowed 50,000btc to be stolen....
these exchanges are making 'money' hand over fist and most of them are programmed by people who should NOT be programming anything dealing with anyones funds, virtual or otherwise
they also are always understaffed extremely, like the owners just want a huge cash cow with no overhead costs (they even pay for the shittiest 'protection' site cloudflare, which does shit all obviously), they should be using their earnings to pay for proper programmers, proper administrators, and TONS of active support staff, in my opinion exchanges incoming and outgoing funds should be highly logged, and able to cross reference various account params, so withdrawls and deposits would be manually approved, be able to be flagged and since there is a lot of support it would be done fairly quickly.. noone is going to care about a few minute wait to get funds to or from an exchange if it means they arent going to lose a shit ton one day in a 'hack'
their wallet practices are also just a fucking joke ;/
security like 2 factor and stuff isnt going to help these places not get hacked when its their code that is being exploited and not even specifically the users accounts... im honestly surprised there aren't more hacks.. although by the looks of that log from cryptorush there probably are and the exchanges are just sweeping them under the rug, like the shady bastards they are
