Title: Poloniex wallets private keys Post by: zeflex on June 28, 2017, 05:29:59 AM Poloniex is really cool but why they cannot provide access to our private key ?
My fear is if they have issues like Crypsty few months ago... How can we be sure that others exchanges are really safe ? Thanks.

They can perform checks before investing money in exchanges or loans I think. So if the money was spent, they can disable the transfer.

You don't really have wallets in an exchange anyway, only a virtual wallet, so there is no private key.
