Which coin would you like to buy. I either have it or can get it. Save your money, putting money into something like this is like giving money to the guy holding a sign "will work for food" and expecting him to cut your grass. Message me if you are looking for coins, can use escrow to protect your funds. Much safer than this.

Not dinging the site dev but we all can't be engineers. Remember each time an exchange or other crypto currency related site is damaged, hacked, or robbed it impacts the overall legitimacy of the CC markets. When someone much more skilled than you says sorry buddy, your PM makes it obvious you are in over your head, get out now. It is a warning that more pain is coming. The sad thing is the users on the site are the ones who will feel the pain, not him. Perfect example. The recent btc loss did not come out of his pocket, it came out of every user on the site paying for his mistakes. Until that money is refuneded to each person and the slate is clean this site deserves to be on the "dirty dining' list of exchanges. Hey, now that is a site to make! The rate site of scam pools and exchanges. Sort of like a chamber of commerce (without the political ties) for our currency markets.

Can I deposit BTC and trade? If I do, will a part of those BTCs be eaten too?

Bump. I want to know this too.

If I deposit 1BTC, will I get 1BTC in my Poloniex account or will Poloniex deduct 12% from the 1BTC?

If you have to ask that question why are you even considering sending funds to that exchange?

For me, if I had to question the outcome of my deposit on to an exchange I would not be using them. Period.

Because they are the only exchange which lists the coin I want to buy?

People are not stupid. If they want to put in money after being aware of the risk, there must be some big potential gain.
