Bter is good neither these days nor the days to come. It didn't pay out its debts, and most certainly won't in the future. In fact, by praising this exchange, you insult the folks who lost their money there. Personally, I didn't lose anything (I held doges when it was hacked) but that was no more than pure luck...
That's why I won't call Bter good, even despite the fact they returned my funds intact
Ok, it's not perfect, there are many cons when we talk about the bter, they haven't made any payment for a long time now for the users who lost their funds there, do you have any info when will they send back our money?
To tell the truth, unlike other "victims" I continued to trade there (CNY-BTC pair) until the Central bank of China devalued the Yuan for the first time. Right after that I bought bitcoins and immediately withdrew them, since it was evident that the PBC would continue on its path to devalue the Yuan further on. As I have said elsewhere, I don't trade Bitcoin (or alts) any longer, since it is not a question of if but when an exchange will get hacked, go bust, or just plain ole run with the money...
Craptsy recently goxing proved me right
