I fail to see how bitfunder is any safer than btct.co? In fact it appears even more vulnerable to regulators.
Havelock has open inquiries about their regulatory compliance.
Not "safer", but still operational (i.e. neither of them have suggested they might close their doors in one month's time).
Or are there other options out there you consider "safer"?
Just trying to get an idea of which way you are leaning (and how liquid the market for shares might be in future).
