Topic: Which exchange do you trust the most? - page 3. (Read 4602 times)

Cryptsy, but nowadays you never know.. I'd rather keep my coins in my wallet as much as possible.

your coins are NEVER safe, even in your care.


Just you deposit your coins at an exchange doesn't make your coins now owned by the exchanges.  

Just like taking your kids to school doesn't make your kid's teachers their new parents.


If everyone kept their money off the exchanges you would only have auction sites, when's the last time you saw one of those for crypto.  When you go to an exchange you expect to see items available to buy if nothing is there what good is it?   Do you randomly return multiple times a day hoping to find someone who wants to sell what you want?  

Nevertheless, without the exchange your coins are almost worthless, when's the last time you took a look at the chart of a coin just before it was delisted and after it was actually delisted?    It goes from bad to worse and in every case there was a warning.   When it gets to the point of that very last exchange to delist it gets even more ugly, it's like a ghost town at the community ANN thread.

So you could have all of the coins in the world if no one else wants them they only have worth to you.  


Now, for the practical side, let me know when you transfer all of your funds to multi-sig paper wallets that you provide to various people in various locations both physical and electronic, then I will know you know how to keep your money safe?

btc-e / cryptsy

Your Coins  are not safe anytime they are outside your ownership

Surprised people haven't learned this yet after 5 years of scams 

I know the bitfinex just recently, it is actually like a gambling, I don't trust it.

On the other hand, bitstamp's authentication mechanisms is too annoying. Even you complete the verification, they will still freeze your funds when you're volume much.

So why not use lakebtc? its liquidity is highest, and security is best.

yea learned that the hard way with vircurex, still have "frozen" funds there.. 

But I guess thats my own fault for being cheap and wanting the intrest they offered on held funds. 

BTC-e does not reveal any details about the owners...
Bitfinex I do not know...

Therefore Bitstamp, which is the most transparant it seems...

Anyways, do not leave your currency or bitcoin on any exchange...
An exchange is not a bank...

I'm wary of all the current exchanges, but I trust btc-e more than the other ones.

I have had an account on bitstamp for a long time. But haven't used it in a few months.

Not very popular in this thread?

For sure BTC-E, it's the best exchange for me.

Bitkonan

Not sure if serious......

btc-e, the only one

have had no problems with btc-e and been using for over 18 months.

Allcoin.com for altcoin to BTC/LTC

Why not 4 major exchanges according to Coindesk' BPI?

for me it´s Btc-e or exmo

Really, Cryptsy doesn't get a mention?

As topic states, I want to know which of the 3 major USD exchanges is the most secure to you.
