cant believe this thread is still alive Grin

People who get ripped off by an exchange never forget, and the cryptsy story isn't close to over until after the receiver is done.

I came across this old 2014 thread today that recommended only doing business on exchanges with known owners like cryptsy, mintpal, and bter. Ironically, it argued that if we know who the owners are they can't scam us. Those scammed by mintpal and bter have gone quiet because there is no realistic chance of compensation from them.

While there's a chance of compensation from cryptsy this thread will remain active.

And last but not least, a list of exchanges who operate in a transparent matter, we should only trade on those exchanges:

- Mintpal - Company registration on /about page.

- Bter - Company info on their site

- Cryptsy - Company info/Founder info clearly on their website

That's why now nobody can say that any online wallet is safe. Even if is "trusted" as you said bter, mintpal and cryptsy was ..
Now we can say that mintpal, or bittrex, or even coinbase is "safe", but to be honest, online wallets or exchanges never will be safe!
Deposit only this, what you have to deposit to exchange.
