A dumb question for a more financial minded than technical minded unObtanium fan. Is it ultimately safer for someone like me who is not a computer whiz to keep my UNO at cryptsy instead of my home PC wallet? I have been debating this but since I am no genius in regards to computer security I tend to think cryptsy is the safer bet.
You are definitely not safer keeping your coins anywhere you don't control. Cryptsy could get hacked, or just fold up shop tomorrow and byebye coins. If you want the most safety try a paper wallet.
Also, conduct regular backups on multiple sources of all of your wallets just in case your device crashes. That way your coins are recoverable.
