What do you think about it ?

I guess we all have some money on it, so I'd like to start a debate.

Seems to be pretty solid. I know heard they have special audits running all the time that shut down wallets if any indicators are triggered. Seems pretty smart. They also appear to use cold storage for some of their high value altcoins and for bitcoin. I think the best advice is not to store more on the exchange than you need to trade with.

I think their security is good but I do not keep bitcoin (or altcoin in general) on exchange anymore, it is so risky and I do not to lose my 'money'. However (again) I think their security is high, just my 2 cents.

No matter which exchange. No system is unhackable. It's not only the small ones like Cryptoine or Allcrypt. Even Bitstamp was hacked. Seems to be a new trend in 2015, hacking as much exchanges as possible (and dump the BTCs to keep the price low).

Don't keep your coins on any exchange or don't complain when they are gone.
