I too have had issues with bter and would perfer to stay away from it. It would be really nice if YAC was on shapeshift or another reliable exchange.
This is one possible exchange. How to get volume if they open YAC
https://alcurex.org/index.php/crypto/newcoinIt is small but, I have looked some bacround things and it looks reliable. (also there is public known real identified peoples behind this service)
But they want some small invest for list coin. (100 - 300 mBTC)
I have tested this exchange shortly using small amount MRC and BTC deposits and withdraw and exchange and all works perfect in my test. Company is registered in Finland. (I do not have any relationship with this company. Just only searching alternatives for Bter)
