Coinbase & Cryptsy seem legit and I trust them so far here in USA

I would send you my referral link but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do that yet here
I thought I read the Cryptsy doesn't like people mining directly into their account. Maybe they don't like a bunch of tiny deposits occurring all the time. You can mine to your own wallet and then transfer them in larger lumps.
I am still learning though...
