I have read a lot of objections about HOTBIT Exchange here ... Personally I have been using it for 6 weeks and apart from tading I have already made deposits and withdrawals there several times. Except for 1 case (when it turned out that there is a problem with withdrawals of NYZO coins, which was officially announced and deposits and withdrawals were temporarily suspended), over a dozen withdrawals and deposits went completely smoothly and quickly so personally I have no objections to this exchange and I would not call it SCAM ...
