Im never good at trading ,always lose money but how about those who lose money due to exchange been hacked? Well thanks to new exchanges that only support p2p ,no profiles ,no emails ,no passwords, they are the safest out there ,this is why I'm so hooked with changelly since 2016 ,so use this kind of exchanges and you are safe from hacks and phishing who is with me? Other exchanges that are like changelly are ethershift and tokenmom ,there might be others too

Well i am also not using any exchange at the moment. And the reason is the price. The market is down and with this bearish market, there are more chances of loss then profits. So my take is that do trading when the market is going bullish.

I still use some exchanges, but my trade volume are down if compared to 2017. I'm not really afraid of having a few procent of my overall crypto currency portfolie on an exchange.
I'm not a good trader either, so most of my portfolie are just bitcoins I will hold the next many years on my ledger.

Iam not use exchanges for tradings. Because iam holding my valuble coins for longterms using nano ledger hardware wallet. Exchange using only converting for my coins. If you want to use exchange for short-term trading. I can use 2FA for high security purpose. Ex: google Athonicator and etc.

i for one have stopped using loads of exchangers  for a long time now as it has been less of the expected performance compared to the standard of performance of exchangers. it is better and manageable when it is a centralised exchanger compared to when it becomes a decentralised exchanger as most of the DEX do not have security features.

Using a lot of exchanges, in my opinion, is better. Because each exchange market has prices that are different from other exchanges. But if you focus on lots of exchanges, of course, you have to be careful. And you have to be able to save your coins well so they don't disappear.

A lot of p2p exchanges are coming up one of the underrated exchange that supports local exchange also in local fiat currency is localcoinswap and i think it has a long way to go and you are right about traditional centralized exchanges that pose a serious threat if we hold our portfolio in their wallet.

Although it is safe, it is not much concerned. It is too few traders and prices are always standing still. It is not suitable for traders with large amounts of money. The exchange platform attacked by hackers is a part of life. We can only wait for the police to solve those problems.

Exchanges always intend to give the best support to the userbase. In between due to some sort of technical breach, issues arise and the same leads to massive loss of funds. Rather than using funds with exchanges on centralized platform it is always good to use them only by the time of trading and take it back to the wallet with the private key in our hands for better security.

Unfortunately, but centralized exchanges are very dangerous, no matter how many people trade on them. For this reason for a long time already I have started trading mainly on decentralized exchanges, now I spend the most time on IDEX.

The reason behind we use binance and the centralized exchanges is because of the volume it offers, of course we can use the forkdelta and all other that doesn't require registration but then you can't just do what you can do with exchanges that has huge volume. What I can probably just do in forkdelta is dump a token that isn't listed anywhere, buy cheap tokens on it and then move out and back to Chinese exchanges.

With your point about hacking activity its really hard to trust centralized exchange nowadays as they really prone to attacks, we  just need to be more
active reviewing each website/exchange that we are going to entrust our money, and if possible after your activity from that particular exchange withdraw
your funds right away and keep it inside your wallets, just use the service and pay the fee then keep your assets safe inside your own wallets.

I fully support you, colleague, decentralized exchanges - this is the best thing that could happen to the world of cryptocurrencies in the past two or three years. I also prefer to use them whenever possible. The most convenient in this respect is the IDEX, although it is not completely decentralized, but a hybrid option.

It is surprising to observe how the exchanges that were previously quite popular, for example hotbit, turn into garbage on which it becomes difficult to sell some coins. I faced enormous difficulties for the last time, and I will never use this exchange again.

I also don't use a lot of exchange. some of not so famous exchange got hacked and just disappeared or just having a very low volumes. Some are just collecting your data and turned to be a scam exchange.
I just stick with some exchange and wait for my token to be listed there.

If you use only few exchanges then it means you have little alternate coins
I do not mean etherum ripple or stellar

I mean upcoming altcoins such as iagon or hyperbridge

Which would make you use other exchanges

Decentralized exchanges are good at not knowing personal information, but it is difficult to encounter decentralized exchanges that work normally today. Why do not we use them if they are secure and reliable? If you look at the new ICOs, you will see that the majority is about exchange, but which of them is decentralized?

If the hackers will be the task to crack some particular exchange or get private keys of a certain person, they will perform it, so do not overestimate and underestimate anything in this world.

for markets that use P2P I only use changer but I use it to exchange digital currency not from crypto to be exchanged for crypto currencies such as perfect money, but for Crypto P2P trading is a less appropriate place

I am sure they will take good care of our assets. They also don't want the good name of their exchange to be polluted. If their exchange is hacked, they will definitely fix it as soon as possible. Like Cryptopia. I am sure our assets are still safe.

I remember MtGox case after reading your post and it is still not clear till today what happened to lost bitcoins except sold ones with over the counter. Dexs are future of current generation of exchanges and sooner or later we will be able to use exchanges without identifying ourselves. Hacked exchanges usually send bulk emails to customers about cracked hash data. It is responsibility of customer to listen an advices and chainging required input details.

It seems to me there is no difference decentralized exchange or not.The main thing that were the volumes on the exchanges.Your wallet can be kept safe.To do this, you can simply create a new wallet and transfer the into it assets that need to be sold.

Unfortunately, hack issues are really annoying. Thieves are finding new ways to steal someone's money. But this kind of people is in everywhere.

I think you shouldn't give up and work hard, watch the market, and learn how should you trade. And move away from SCAM exchanges.

As for me, I use both centralized and decentralized exchanges. In some aspects, especially trading volume/ liquidity, and also speed of operation, DEX usually have setbacks. I only use DEX when I can connect my wallet via a web 3 browser like metamask or sometimes create new wallet on the DEX. For centralized exchanges,  I trade greatly on binance and kucoin.

Well, good for you but those kind of exchanges are not for trading as you said in fact, I think that anyone wants to do fast exchange coin for another (small amount)would use this p2p exchange better because it will save him/her some money due to normal exchanges withdrawal fees and trades fees. But the majority of people are using exchanges for trading or when they want to exchange a big amount of coins, with a big amount of coins normal exchanges are better in fees because the withdrawal fees are fixed number whether you withdraw 1 BTC or 10 BTC but with p2p they usually have % fees.
When I want to exchange a coin for another I always do the calculation and go with the best option no need to be afraid of hacking etc, it is just a fast exchange I will not store any coins anywhere.

I am also do not like the idea that someone has control over my funds, and you are actually losing it by depositing on every centralised exchange. Thats why I prefer to stay decentralised and to use IDEX or Forkdelta.

You absolutely right. Never trust any exchange and never keep your money at the exchanges. Even dont trust software wallets and websites. Buy a hardware wallet and keep your coins there. Just use the exchanges for buy and sell and after the trade transfer your coins.

I think we are still in a period of major tests on centralized and decentralized exchanges or other ways of negotiations! It's difficult to direct a global service that meets the needs of everyone, because each has a goal of deals. The truth is that those platforms that provide practicality, speed and even security, will likely attract larger and more volumes in the sequence more options and instruments of deals.

At the moment, there are many exchanges on the market, but I will say so that in fact from all the existing exchanges, there are not many really working, I will explain why, when there was a rush on ico projects, at that time many exchanges held ico the amounts and launched their product, but then, under the influence of many factors, they could not properly compete with the large stock exchanges and simply remained stagnant.

If you talk about decentralized exchanges, maybe you may only here of tokens/assets. Most of the major coins do not have their own decentralized exchanges so they depend on centralized exchanges to make trading available although it is possible to make their own decentralized exchanges.
If it is about exchanging coins on an exchange for just once and withdrawing funds, I don't see it a problem because it is not likely to get hacked but if you store your funds there, that makes the risk 50% more likely than someone who is just trading and withdraw funds immediately.

Yes, now there is a big problem with exchanges. There's been a lot of break-ins, it's true. Fortunately, I have never lost funds from my account due to hackers, but I am still very careful in exchanges with low security.

I used only top exchanges that have long reputation, however I don't keep my crypto assets in any exchange because is place to trade, not to store assets. I never lost any money due a hack. About decentralized exchanges, they are safe, but not ready yet for real trade, they are slow as AF.

We should only use exchange that are really trusted. There are many exchanges that are been hacked in these past years so we should pick exhange wisely if we want to secure our funds.

I agree with you Decentralized exchanges are more protected than Centralized yet decentralized exchange isn't absolutely secure like before etherdelta has been hacked. But majority of the centralized exchange is vulnerable not only our funds but our data too kyc details. But if you want to try Day trading I prefer centralized because there are more traders and volume.

I don't believe their real reason is hacked, I believe they were scammer and gave the reason for being hacked so that investors don't blame them. Cryptopia is one of them, I believe this exchange is good enough to avoid attacks from hackers

We should be carefull to choose exchange for trading because just like cryptopia that since get hacked until now they still offline. For the better use exchange that has fully regulation and have program to protect fund of all user, Use Binance is recommended because they have program Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU). Or others way use decentralized exchange like IDEX and Waves platform that more secure than centralized exchange.

What if you will just focus on a certain well known exchange such as binance, coinbase, bittrex, and bitfinex? Those exchange has already established a good and better environment which will secure your money and investment here on crypto space.

Indeed, I rarely trade so I tend to use instant exchange services such as changelly, blocktrades whenever I need to change one crypto to another. Only problem is, these instant crypto exchanges don't always have enough listed coins.

Each type of exchanges all have seperated advantages and disadvantages. I still believe to use centralize exchanges such as Kucoin or Binance and haven't still had any problems with them yet

Right .  decentralized exchanges are more risky because you must import your private keys on their platform though you can use some extension like metamask for safer sessions .  advantage of them is you are full control of your assets  .

Centralized exchanges on the other hand are more popular and trusted because they have better securities but the only disadvantage is that you need to comply thru thier kyc in order to bypass your trading limits  .

I keep using trusted exchange for me to guarantee that ny investments are safe. Most of exchanges are vulnerable to hackers so we should be careful when we are trading cryptocurrencies. We can lose it if we are using exchange that doesn't have good reputation.

Yeah,  i will be stopping to use the exchange especially the decentralized exchange because its too risky to be used.

traders should be able to take advantage of the differences in the advantages and disadvantages of various types of exchange to be able to get a lot of profits, but you have to be careful about choosing a place of exchange, because at this time often exchanges are hit by hackers who steal funds at the exchange place .

I am not engaged in trading now, because my experience is unsuccessful and in this market it is difficult to make a profit, it seems to me!

I have been using only a few exchangers for a long time, the main one is of course binance, and I rarely use all the rest as needed. Simple and quality and convenience and trust, not all cause the same.

I do feel you but not being hacked the problem that i face before is that i deposit in a coin from my wallet even after a few days i still did not see the coin in my exchange wallet which is a heache.

Usually in that exchanges you had mentioned and like ether and forkdelta only has low in volume which is you're limited in buying or selling your coin. And several of these were cheat coin where doesn't list in any big exchanges such as binance and kucoin. However,  it's still comfortable to use and might be profitable if you already accustomed in that kind of exchanges.

No e-mail,NO phone number,No profile,No password is only happen in the Decentralized exchange but i don't think which is most safest exchange. Because i got hacked 890$ in forkdelta exchange so we never safe in DEX exchange. ethershift and tokenmom both of dex exchange? I think those very new exchange. Still without IDEX i am not going to use another DEX exchange.

Yeah, there are absolutely tons of issues with the centralized exchange, hacking, manipulation, bot, and so on. But I don't think many people will soon move to the decentralized exchange because of the lack of features and some stability issues. I have not met any decentralized exchange that I can use as comfortable as I use the centralized one. And this might be sounded weird but even though it is decentralized I think we still need a customer support in those DEX.

I am still using exchanges such as Binance, Bittrex and Kucoin to trade. Changelly is good, but it doesn’t support some of the coins. I believe if we don’t store coins in the exchanges, we should be safe from the hack.

This is truly the best way to protect your funds without keeping them in your account. I think that Changenow, in this case, will be the best option for the service without registration. I use them now and find this service very convenient.

There are many exchanges today and unfortunately most of them are not good. They usually want to cut our money. For exampe HitBTC or Yobit. They have too expensive withdraw fees. I had to use yobit lately and they took 0.0012 BTC for my withdraw. When i send BTC from my wallet i usually pay 0.000075 BTC. Also i am having some problems with LA Token and i would recommend you to not work with them. But i also work with Bittrex and i am very happy with them, best exchange for me.

I trusted more in binance exchange because seems to me very hard security and surely will not get hack, and it is good to trade because of high volume.

Hitbtc and yobit has very well known as the the worst exchange site in the world. Remember how hitbtc was creating the limitation to create an order, both of these exchange sites are very bad exchange sites at this moment dude

decentralized exchanges now occur in crypto currency market, even binance also developt their DEX exchanges.i think it will protect us more hacked possibility. we didnt nees to make account at all, and our data will be safe.

from the three exchanges that you wrote, I prefer to continue to have assets in the binary exchange place, because at present high trading volumes only occur in binary and only binance which has very fast coin price movements, from rapid price movements that will give you have a lot of profits.

We should aware and anticipate when we are using centralized exchanges since there is a significant possibility of being hacked. We don't own the private keys, then we don't own the money should explain about it clearly. In other hands, Decentralized exchanges development are lagged behind of the cryptocurrencies space. DEX's that fits with cryptocurrencies nature still have some major problem that makes the community won't use it.

Cryptopia, The latest hacked centralized exchange and some of the users claimed Binance force KYC verification should urge the community to fix the problem and find a relieving solution. I hope those sad events could make the decentralized exchange and atomic swap development have a significant improvement.

I've also slowed down on trading on exchanges due to the the current market.
I've also moved some of my coins away from centralized exchanges.
Whenever I trade, I use DEX most of the time.

I don't have an account with changelly but I am particularly looking forward to Ethershift because I am a participant of the project. But I don't know if they are in anyway connected with Changelly or similar in usage. Until the platform is fully operational.

Damn! i just had the worst experience with Bleutrade exchange ::) transferred some funds to the Bleutrade Classic version to trade, i couldn't execute any sell order because the exchange keeps reporting API error, then i swap to the Malta Version, there i couldn't access any funds in my wallet because even the wallet could not display available funds, to make things worse their telegram admin could not render any solution except re-direct complaints ::),  luckily withdrawal still works ;D see ya never ;D

I'm just using certain exchanges. Only if a token from bounty campaigns is traded in a different exchange, then I open a new account in that exchange and sell that token. Otherwise, I usually only trade on five different exchanges.

For security reasons, I don't leave my funds in many exchanges, equally my trading fund has depleted because of the long bearish market. Some exchanges are just too greedy in their transaction fees and withdrawal fees. Peer to peer might replace all these centralized exchanges in the future.

If it is all about fiat exchanges will always be centralized no matter what you do, exchanges should have to follow or else they don't exist. And that's why we should not leave our funds in any exchanges because when something went wrong we can't do anything about it and they will just leave you a piece of advice and some flowery words that would eventually wither without even getting a single cent.

This year I have tried trading the last I did was December of this year but because of the market condition I stopped buying and selling coins I also prefer p2p transactions it's hassle-free but some of the top coins can only be traded in the centralized exchange.

I also use dex exchange for trade but I prefer exchange centralize even though it is very dangerous because many hackers attack but the trading volume in the exchange is very different from the dex exchange which has a low volume.

I've never been hacked and I'm using a lot of exchanges, even when binance was hacked my balance was safe. Probably I'm just lucky, but I prefer exchanges with big volumes, so it's only big ones not p2p.

I am use a lot of exchange and until this time all is safe. My advice should be careful before logging in alwasy bookmark exchange site that you use.

I can not say that this is the easiest way. I do not think that it is profitable for traders. Yes, perhaps such transactions are more secure. However, this may not be the best way to make money.

I have not used the stock exchange for a long time, but speaking of their safety, I want to note that most people lose money because they keep their coins on the stock exchange. Isn't it obvious that the coins should be stored on the wallet, and the exchange should be used only for making transactions.

Right now, there are numerous trading sites available, yet I will say so that in certainty from all the present trading sites, there are relatively few truly working, I will clarify why, when there was a surge on ICO ventures, around then numerous trades held ICO the sums and propelled their item, however at that point, affected by numerous components, they couldn't appropriately rival the expansive stock trades and just stayed dormant.

In fact, only services without registration will be able to guarantee the safety of funds, since you do not give them access to all funds, but give only a part for the exchange.

I think this is really one of the exchangers that I can trust.

I have been experimenting with different exchanges lately looking for the best feature and interface. But so far I was not so lucky with my trading compared to last year. Maybe because the market is very bearish right now that returns you get are very minimal.

DEX exchanges are the way to go, as it should have been from the beginning. Sadly there is not much volume there yet and sometimes there is no other option than going to a CEX to trade your coins, but hopefully this changes in the next couple of years.

I'm not a trader anyway, but a hodler. One of the projects i'm supporting is Aphelion, a DEX based on NEO. Which has a market cap of "only" 500K. Crazy.

Yes, I still don't understand why some exchange will be hack easily, and I have the experience before, the exchange have shut down the exchange and without the notice, and I can't take my coins back and lost the money, so I stop using the new exchange now.

it will be difficult to make people aware of doing the same thing as you.
if you do not like centralized exchanges you can choose the exchange you want, but the volume of trading exchanges is centralized far greater than the decentralized exchange.

Those capability for a decentralized exchange like p2p,no profiles,no emails, and passwords was awesome .But if you are doing a day trading on any exchange the most important is the exchange trading volumes and those above mentioned capability for me is useless without enough volume and thats my opinion.

Its a lesson learned. List it to one of your experiences so you wont forget it.

It aint really about exhcanges getting hacked or just suddenly bankrupt.
It is about you too.
How are you going to keep yourself safe from all of this.
You found your way by using decentralized exchanges but you should still try to be used to going back and forth to your wallet from exchange. Never leave it there.

It aint that itchy for paying the tx fee.

Yeah, there are still some exchanges that are safe even though they are experiencing problem. Its ok to quit on some exchanges especially if you incur problems, like hacking or what. Binance is the top choice of every trader/investors but don’t be too complacent on this exchange.

indeed it has become a risk for traders and for that we must be clever to anticipate this by actively reviewing each website/exchange that we will entrust our money to, and if possible after your activity from withdrawing certain exchanges your funds will immediately be stored in a personal wallet you. thus reducing the risk of hacking.

how can you fully explore the exchange to understand should you trust to them or not. if the exchange is new you can only wait when the reputation will appear

You are talking about an instant exchange not like Cryptopia but in my opinion this instant exchanges are much more vulnerable to hacking than centralised exchanges how can you say that a site like changeally are one of the safest I dont think so, Im much more confident in a decentralised exchanged than any other.

Thankfully all this long i haven't got to meet any market being hacked while i keep my coin in it to trade. I feel sad for you that you face that bad experience, In the future all the exchange should be upgrade their security to minimize the possibilities of getting hacked.

Aside from.phising sites of some known exchanges may discouraged you from always using exchange sites but there could be more reason on it and probably this because the crypto market is down. There is no good on trading at the moment becausr crypto volatility is not good for the mean time. Anyway, if you had some holdings right better keep it first and avoid always using exchanges so that you will have a lower chances on getting phished out.

That’s good, at least you are able to exit on that exchanges and prevent from losing more. Its important to use good and strong exchange because your money needs to be protected. Don’t just use exchanges because that’s the only way for you to sell your coin, be a wise person.

I have considered using Changelly-like exchanges for daily trading ... i wondered if their hugh fees will be profitable for daily trading. I am sure some day traders have thought about this too.  They would have talked about it If it were possible

Before I started using decentralized exchanges, I do think they are big deals but since I have started using them, I feel much more comfortable than when I was using only centralized exchanges. I often use decentralized exchanges now than I do for centralized ones because of their ease of accessibility and no KYC, also withdrawal fee is usually very little.

It is much more safer to use the decentralised exchanges, because usually you keep all your funds by yourself and there is no third party that has access over your funds. P2P networks rule the crypto industry.

but if you do something wrong on a decentralized exchange, then only you are responsible for everything.

Yes I am with you on this exchanges that uses p2p are more safer and secured to use cause you avoid being hack or pinch, OK coin is also one of those exchanges that will prescribe for your use. The exchange play a very important role in our trading life and at that we should look out for the good and secured one.

I do not think that decentralized exchanges are truly safe. they are not very easy to use and users can make many mistakes

Well i want to believe that these exchanges you mentioned are good but i really don't know about them, generally i think trading now is really not the best for starters because of the bearish market. Trading is best during the bull run. When the bull run comes, will try out these exchanges you mentioned.

When you use any exchanges, you are not 100% safe. You cannot guarantee that it won't get hacked. Imagine, you are exchanging 20 BTC on Changelly and after you made the payment, the exchange server got hacked, what will happen? Online wallets including exchanges were never been safe nor will be. I'm agreeing with you, that exchange without registration is far better than the email collectors :D

An interesting point of view.  I have a little trading experience, but I try to choose exchanges that have proven themselves well.

Technically, Changelly isn't an exchange.
These types of sites are brokers.
They actually execute the trade for you on and exchange.
They use algorhythms to monitor buy/sell prices on several exchanges and post them on their website.
When you go in to buy or trade something, they send it to the exchange so that the trade can be done.
Because of this Changelly (and other sites similar to it) have higher sommission fees.

Of course, for the trader's experience, it basically operates like an exchange.
But there are some key things missing, like spreads, buy/sell order lists, options for stop limit, etc.
So for the serious trader they don't work well.
But if you are just buying coins, they are really easy and safe to use.
And if you are doing it casually, the extra fees won't have a big impact on things.

I think actively need to use only the popular stock exchange type finance, because the chance that such exchanges will crack is very small as the security of these exchanges spend good money!

I never experienced anything bad on an exchange, because indeed I didn't save a lot of funds on an exchange, even though there were still some exchanges I used as storage. Btw, I have also left a few exchanges because I only use them as needed. I agree with the way you have done it will indeed be safe from hacking if your needs are indeed only to convert.

If you are not a regular trader and want to do trades with anonymity then P2P exchanges are best but you may nit fimd them for many altcoins for that you can use decentralized exchanges or even the centralised exchanges like binance which can be trusted due to its huge trading volume.

I stopped to use exchanges at all =)

That's their job also and they'll working it hard but the illegal ways. We condemn that activities cause it ruins crypto image and many were affected.
To have a high percentage of keeping safe from exchanges, better to look for old ones as they have a good reputations and already trusted for mang years unlike for new created cause we don't even know if it will give us service satisfaction.

that is why I have not kept my assets in exchange for a very long time but we also have to believe that a good exchange will always be monitored by a team that is working full in order to overcome data leakage, I believe the technicians on one exchange are not stupid

To protect against hacking it is enough to observe the basics of computer security. And also do not store on one of the wallets all your coins and tokens. Never enter a large number of coins on the stock exchange, and as soon as you stop trading, withdraw money to your wallets.

I already forgot when some serious exchanges was hacked. It seems to me that these are simply concerns from the past, when such cases were not uncommon. If you now trade on top exchanges with 2FA enabled, then nothing will happen to your money, unless you lose your deposit in a failed trading  ;D

I think you maybe must look other skills, you can be writer or maybe something that will need your skills and you can earn money with it. Not all people can be trader, include me maybe because i always panic and loss in trading activity, but i look other things that i can do like be bounty hunter.

I am not sure how safe is using 2FA especially for storing your crypto in exchanges. There are past incidents regarding account hacks with bypassing 2FA and hijacking phone is not difficult for professional hackers in my opinion.

Well i share your frustration mate...these days it is not really safe to trade on exchanges anymore. Day in and day out we here of several exchanges being hacked and people losing huge sums of money. I have heard about Ethershift Project and actually spared sometime to look at it. I think it's very cool and with numerous cryptocurrencies being deployed on the Etheruem network i believe transactions with Ethershift is very safe and quicker than with Exchanges.

changelly requires you to register and provide a username and password. it is accually a per to per website. it looks secure and cool. transaction might still take time to take place as this could be a problem. they might eventually run out of tokens to exchange but it is a nice platform to use.

In the first place, you should not use an exchange to keep your coins only use it to trade there are so many exchange hacking going on because hackers knows there's huge money to be made here, but centralized has the most volume compared to DEX.

How did you say that the exchabge was hacked? In the first place the value right now was not good and it stable on low so that if you are trader you should know when you buy and sell if you are for short term trading but as i suggest because of the low value you should choose the long term term trading buy and hold until the value was rise again.

Yeah I did the same, looking for a secure Exchange with no personal information and found Ethershift too. You just swap for example ETH with a token you want, you get it directly into your wallet and thats it. No account or password needed (or kyc). I dislike exchanges (like coinbase) which needs a know your customer thing. And of course it´s always safer to have your coins in your wallet instead on an exchange...

We cannot judge that every exchange that uses a profile, email and password is easily hacked, the evidence to this day is that there are still many people who continue to use some of the existing exchanges out there, because they feel comfortable. But, I just heard there's a new exchange that only supports p2p, I think the "Log In" method like this's a new breakthrough.

Yes. Some exchanges are not worth using. We have had history of exchanges through which transactions and investment have caused people huge losses. So, it is wise not to deal with such exchanges and rather look for a good one. There are of famous exchanges one among those is coinbase which is very secure and could be made use of in European countries and US.

I think this is a not exchanges issue. This is a your security  issue. Because if you not use 2FA or other secure methods for exchange your account will be unsecured. But i agreed with your other problem of Phishing attack. Lot of peoples are lossed thire money with this phishing attack.

in my opinion, the world's integrity throughout time has always evolved, sometimes as great as the security of a website can be penetrated too ... yeah we as account owners should be more vigilant about all forms of piracy, especially from email or phishing websites, suspicious links, protect our account with google AUTy or change your pin / paswood periodically it is also important

Basically you should be strict and choosing the best exchange in the market. You should take into consideration even the spelling of the website that your are entering. In that case, you can be fully secured about phishing sites.

you will never be insured against it, but you should choose exchanges with a high level of trust

High reputed exchange site is most likely traders want. Well, if you really wanted to have high security in trading and could not lose and risk trying different exchanges then it would be fine to stick with your current trusted exchanges platform. But it is a part of our starting industry. Our industry in cryptocurrency is still at the stage of developing and we have to try things as well. But I can actually advise you to at least
check the reviews first before trying an exchange platform for more secured risk.

Trading in different exchanges is really complicated too that you have to be careful because they have different pricing range. Let's say they only have a small scale of differences but it counts still.

Any exchange you use can be hacked by hackers, you should be aware of this, new exchanges are usually always poorly protected from hacking, so hackers try to hack them.

If you are never selective with the type of exchange you use, you might end up losing a lot of money.
Aside that, when it comes to trading, some skills are required, which if you do jot have, you might get frustrated with it.
Then start trading with the amount you can afford to lose, which is also applicable to investments.

Perhaps they are safe , but I think serovno need to be able to diversify trade on different exchanges , and the more for example on the binance liquidity of coins is much more than others

I am waiting for a good decentralized exchange. For example, the creators of the exchange Binance will soon release such a stock exchange. But now I just keep on the exchanges that part of the funds that I trade. I prefer to trade on the exchange of Binance because there are very good volumes.

Already you can test this wonderful exchange. Indeed, this is real freedom and it comes from the cryptocurrency market.

If you want to feel safe while you trade, use DEX. Be sure to follow the safety rules that you must follow when using DEX. The biggest problem of central exchanges is when they are hacked, your personal informations are also hacked. And that's a really serious problem.

There is no safe exchange at 100%. Therefore, you should not keep large amounts of coins on the exchanges, especially if you do not trade them - withdraw everything to your safe wallets. From time to time, the exchanges hack and steal money, including your.

yes you are right while using some exchanges we don't get the satisfaction with our work so the situation is also not good for exchanging our universe but so wait and think not move you for making any decision because I also using this for long time.

I think that it is necessary to use the exchanges as rarely as possible. Especially if you are going to keep cryptocurrency for a long time. When the cryptocurrency lies on the wallet of a too it has a big difference between if your cryptocurrency is on the exchange.

I agree this exchange is showing itself well and is developing very much , I think on this exchange you can safely keep your money as the security of this exchange is very good

Some exchanges are crappie, that's why you see crypto enthusiasts seeking for better exchanges. The major issues have been security, trading and withdrawal fees, liquidity, trading pairs, support for advanced trading options, scalability, just to mention a few. Well, there is still very good exchanges like Binance, Kucoin, Okex, Huobi and some good decentralized exchanges like IDEX and Allbit.

decentralized exchange is not that perfect. the exchange itself will still store the private key of your address meaning it still have an access to your funds however you will still have the absolute control to your address when something happen you could move the funds immediately, overall still better than centralized ones in term of security.

All exchanges certainly have gaps to penetrate, but not all markets are easy to crack, so I think it's just a lucky factor because I believe all markets have very good security because they also don't want to be hacked and where the market problems we will use all have own favorite market.

Why you said about centralized exchange are dangerous buddy? Most of the exchange are now centralized. And volume also very good than decentralized. I think decentralized exchange does not have volume like centraliezd. So why you said dangerous about centralized??  Can you explain please? So that people can undeestand your poin and be care full of using centralized  exchange. Thanks 

You lose money to exchanges because you didn't even know first about the legitimacy of their platform and you're so excited to trade your money in expecting it to grow faster.

Money is money, if you are so careless to where you'll put it then good luck, you must not blame others but yourself when you got scam.

Learn first the game before joining in, that's my 2 cents.

Yeah i can relate to this since there are aome of the exchanges that have been hacked, we can lose money on that exchange site that we kept our tokens or assets. Also i quit some exchange that has a huge transaction fee, even if you only withdraw your tokens that is reward from airdrop and only low cost yet the transaction fee is huge, well in that case we cannot get or withdraw our assets from there.

I still keep my coins in my wallet and I will take them out when I sell them. So I don't save coins as an exchange because of security issues. But we also need to be more careful and use Google Authenticator and I think this is safer.

Until now, I still use a lot of market exchange for crypto coin transactions, in fact they are very safe in running a market exchange, but on the internet there are many phishing sites, including phishing for coin market sites, so we should be carefully

My favorate exchange is the coinbene, this exchange have a strong and productive token there and in btc exchange. Token value is not dropping compare to other exchange. Just try there and the experience is pretty awsome on the other hand its eaening a lot of btc.

So, you are promoting changelly or ethershift here? Changelly has an open scam accusation in the forum. How can it be a good one to choose? Don't you know about that issue? Then check the scam accusation board.

There are many exchanges will the underlined features. What i consider most in exchange is the charges. I traded in one exchange and i was charged above 0.1.

What you have meant by 0.10? Is that BTC or ETH or 0.10%? If you have meant 0.10%, I think it's okay to charge that amount and it's not a big one.

Right now we have to be careful in choosing exchanges because so many exchange lists are problematic and also potentially scam. a big hacking case also makes us have to be careful in storing assets

We need to choose recommended and reliable exchange than to choose a new site. So far, if we can select the right exchange, we don't have to be afraid of the hacking because that site will secure the website from any attackers that might come to them. Besides that, they will suggest to traders to secure their account by activating 2fa and other else so the trader can feel comfortable to trade in that exchange.

I do not like that on many exchanges artificial growth of a certain currency is created. And when I go to the normal and proven exchanges, the price there is much lower.

Will the google authenticator will matter if the main exchange has been hack?
I always have them on my security features which really add more guard on our account.
But what if the platform the one has been hacked? like CRYPTOPIA!

the fact that your account was hacked once doesn't mean that all exchanges are not appropriate for usage. Just compare every echnage, choose that one which suits you

Fraudsters are very easy to commit fraud and steal our coins. Many websites are almost the same and they offer promising things so people are easily attracted. I personally use several exchanges and I use Google Authenticator and this is very safe. And you also need to be able to keep your password lock so other people don't know it.

That is not the reason for keeping your fund safe on an exchange, even how many security level stage you've put but once exchange got hacked itself your money is totally lost. Once you've deposited your crypto asset on exchange and you're not holding the private key on address wallet, your bitcoin now does not belong to you. So, in this case, we must choose a better and reputable exchange, where we can trust to store our funds.

Thatsw why you should not putting all your funds into an exchange because there are so many risks involved.

now indeed we ourselves must be careful in storing our assets in an exchange. there are so many exchanges that are problematic at the moment and are very detrimental to us

Storing assets in exchange is not even advisable, I would not do that because I know the risk.
Put it in a hard wallet and you will sleep calmly, even big exchange now are also vulnerable, and it's not advisable also to trade only
in one exchange with a huge amount of money, always consider the risk before trading, it's our hard earned money and we can't allow to loss it that easily.

Well, 2019 should be a year for decentralized exchanges. Centralized exchanges were being hacked and still continue to be hacked. What I fail to understand is how come the exchanges never learn from the past and why is their security so weak.

Never ever leave coins/tokens on exchanges under any circumstances unless you are a day trader.

Being a trader means there will always be coins on the exchanges, it turns out that no one is protected. Wallets can be used cold, and only when dealing with when to use them.

I guess he means about the percentage of the total amount. Just like when you are withdrawing more than $100 and you will get more than 0.1% from your total amount to be paid as the transaction fees.
Some exchange sites may charge even more than it

- Everyone knows storing assets on exchange is risky, they also know that the best storage is in hard wallets but they can not concentrate all their assets on hard wallets, it is too inconvenient and inappropriate for their work, they need to focus their assets in exchange to catch up and make money from the fluctuations of market. And they always limit their risk to the lowest level when they follow what you say, they always divide their assets at different exchanges, but certainly those exchanges are very reliable, they will not choose new and unreliable exchanges

You are mentioning Decentralized Exchange thats the advantage in trading that you still holding your assets rather than Centralized Exchange which holding them for you. Yes! no one is safer and more secured if you never share any of your personal information over the net. A lot of exchange now are more user friendly but be sure you signing-up on the real domain or real url.

I think it is very difficult to be able to determine the place of exchange that has an indication of a scam or not because all existing exchanges can potentially be a scam and can potentially be hit by hacker attacks, so you must be prepared for the worst risks of the exchange.

market exchanges is not bank, when you affraid with your account will be hacked dont save you asset at there, after you trading take out all your asset that is simple to use except you is holder coins, you can moving you coins to others wallets

I think one of the problems of an exchange is the issue of hacking,no centralized exchange is hack proof, however there are measures that can reduce the level of hacks in an exchange,financial exchange investments are risky and we should be very ready to bear the risk. Thanks

You need to keep your coins in cold wallets. It's safe. If you need to buy or sell coins, then we enter the coins on the stock exchange, conduct transactions and withdraw funds to our wallets. I think this is the safest option.

Millions of ways to save coins or assets that you have with various kinds anywhere. You just need to learn more about something that makes good security from hackers.

You have to be careful in using exchange, as not all of them are good, in fact some of them are complete scam, so research well before using them. A lot of investors have suffered because of scam exchanges.

Better never stop for joining and using some exchange market, how ever always have new exchange support for your token and your asset, many exchange have different rule about new token for listing, but you hold your asset at not in exchange wallet.

Indeed we must be more careful in choosing the exchange, judging from the current developments that will not progress at all..
For me, I prefer choosing exchanges that I have long known like IDEX or KUCOIN, for example..

I stopped using exchanges with low security as well. You know, you can be a magnificent trader, but losing funds after hacker attack is possible way to become bankrupt !

Of course a little liquid exchange and whose developers are not trying hard to develop the exchange , I think they can quickly close and trade there is very dangerous can your money be lost on such an exchange

If you have a lot of ridiculous projects on the market right now, make sure you also have many ridiculous Exchange. I can't make sense of how people trust and invest their money.

i also prefer the decentralized exchanges the dex as forkdelta and easytrade of the classic ones i still continue to use only binance that does not require kyc within certain limits

because not all exchanges are good, then we must be smart to choose good exchanges so we can be more economical and get more profits.
and in my opinion it's better to use a well-tested stock exchange one of which is idex.

When you utilize any trades, you should understand that you are not safe at all. You can't ensure that it won't get hacked. Envision, you are trading bitcoin on any centralized exchanges which are having more possibilities to get hacked. Online wallets including trades were never been protected nor will be. I'm concurring with you, that trade without enlistment is far superior than the email gatherers.

Because some decentralized exchanges are forkdelta.github.io, Etherdelta.com, IDEX, token jar and switches exchange are very much nonpopular.

Same here. But I keep to discover new ones. Firsly without deposits. Just to see how it works from inside and reading about it on a web.
From the last one find DexAge. And it's become interesting to me and promissing. So will keep looking after it.

And the funny thing is, exchanges are really being born, just go around and visit Project section. I'm sure you will find one or two projects about exchanges. I don't know what's the craze about, but it looks like everyone is really going all-in by creating their own exchanges.

But as you guys have said, it's hard to trust new exchanges, so we must really investigate and not just blindly trust those new exchanges coming up, its better to stick to the old and traditional one, at least we know that they won't scam us or something.

The most important thing we should consider while trading with these exchanges is to look at the security measures it is having. We are getting news frequently about exchanges getting hacked and thus our investment is at risk. Maybe someone has already experienced loss due to it.
From my point of view unless there will not be any global regulations applied on these exchanges, there will be always uncertainty about security of them.
Another point is about transactions fee getting charged by exchanges. Now a days it's becoming difficult to trade small amount because the fees are more than tokens we want to buy or sell.
Exchanges should reduce transactions fees such that many small investors get attracted towards the platform.

 Centralized exchanges are subject to a tremendous number of problems simply because they contravene one of the cardinal laws of cryptocurrency - the owner of the private key is also the owner of the asset.
The biggest exchanges like Binance, OKEx and Huobi take control of user funds and use them for market manipulation.

That is the point, however centralized exchanges also bring advantages but well. There's no prove that Binance or any of these big exchanges you mentioned doing market manipulation however that is really possible considering that they are in control of really big funds, making profit out of market manipulation could also be a one way to gain additional huge profit but wrong or inappropiate.

Honestly, the exchanges have already become so many that the confidence of many, especially the little-known, is automatically lost.

Using lots of exchanges is indeed very confusing. And sometimes we don't pay attention to the security and origin of the exchange list. I think it should focus on one or two exchanges that have large volumes. And you must pay attention to security and not be hacked.

I am also now cautious about easy-to-hack exchanges. Because it will cause a great loss for everyone. Of course in this case, every time I transact in a well-known exchange, it is certainly very safe.

Centralized exchanges are so silly at times. Its why I will always prefer decentralized ones. I hate KYCs and when an exchange rejects my KYC it pisses me off badly. This is what that repugnant Bilaxy did to me. I ignored them and used another exchange to trade my coins.

Decentralized exchanges attract users with their anonymity and transparency. But now they are significantly inferior to the centralized in speed of work and functionality. As long as they are at least roughly equal to the traditional exchanges in these indicators, they will not be able to oust the centralized exchanges from the market.

I'm not storing my earnings and holdings in any exchanges right now. I would prefer to store my earnings in a hard wallet which I could hold and keep. Everything on the internet is hackable these days so I find it really risky. We should be wise on where to keep our earnings.

I think that if you aware to keep your funds on exchanges, just dont do that, keep it on your wallet, because technology that you mention (p2p) is using by a very small amount of exchanges and  usually have a very low volume and not too much traiding pairs, correct me if correct me if i am wrong.

I don't think there is any exchange out there is safe enough to store cryptocurrency that why I only wanna hold my cryptocurrency inside my coldstorage wallet. There are so many traders lost their money because of holding cryptocurrency on exchange although it's the best exchanges like Binance or Bittrex.

I never hold my coins in exchanges. I just use them only for the exchange.. I'm not a good trader. previously I tried 2-3 times. but didn't able to become a successful trader. Anyway, trader or token holders shouldn't use a bunch of exchanges. Especially traders. Limite the trading only for the good and reputable exchanges is the best action.

I always use centralised and decentralised exchanges both. But I also marked some exchanges and never used them. Security for the centralised exchange is very challengeable. And most of the exchange hacked once at least. So that's why decentralised exchange are better. But tge problem with decentralised exchanges are the trading volume and sometimes the price fractuation and hard to use. But this kind of exchanges are best.

Of course they are convenient, I agree , and the chance that it will crack all wallets small as decentralized , so I think that the liquidity is very low on such exchanges which is very sad for me

the best action is to keep your money in a cold wallet and when the price rises then to sell on one of the popular exchanges that are trusted by a large number of people. quick exchange and then transfer back to the cold wallet.

Exchange saving is for those with big assets they thing can't be contained in their personal wallets. I do not see the need leaving my asset in an exchange when I know most are prone to hacks.

Well if you not a trader you do not need hold your cryptocoins at exchange. Local wallet is the best choise. In that case only you responsible for you funds.

Oh it’s possible  if you don’t use some exchange platform
You may have no reason to use the exchange thus no reason to own the account

Just be careful and always sue 2fa with Any Account u own

Well you must be joking if you think Ethershift or whatever you call it will come and displace the already existing exchange that have gained trust for it users. It will be extremely difficult to do that now in the manner in which the Cryptocurrency Space is at the moment. Clients like me will prefer to use the already existing exchange like Bithumb, Binance, OKEx and other top exchange in the space and not some funny looking exchange that will make withdrawal of assets difficult for it users or come up with manipulated volumes.

This is your decision mate, but personally, I don't like any exchanges from your favourite lists! Changelly seemed well once but now I don't need it. I have no idea about Tokenmom, and Ethershit doesn't look a potential exchange! I love decentralized exchanges like Allbit, Idex, Forkdelta and so on. But overall, you can't ignore those centralized exchange with high security! I respect your decision but my opinion is different here! There are many exchanges which are better than your mentioned exchange. Good Luck.

Centralized exchanges are about speed and liquidity. Decentralized exchanges (if designed properly) add another level of security. In the future decentralized exchanges will play a more important role when intercommunication protocols are ready.

Well i guess we need to be safe on the exchanges that we conduct our trades. Some of them are not secured and it makes them prone to cyber attacks. Take for instance what happened to Cryptopia and Coinrail. I don't think i am ever going to trade on such platforms.

Some exchanges are scammers, a friend was complaining to me how a certain exchange disabled his 2FA and stole his tokens. Since then I ve been trading on only the established traditional exchange platforms.

Yes you are right, there are many other decentralized exchanges that have more potential with high trading volumes, such as Idex, bancor, etc. Ethershift seems to be a new product that still needs further development.
Btw, for the security of your coins and tokens, don't use wallet exchange to save assets, the risk is big, use an exchange wallet only when trading.

After I got burned on Cryptopia I withdrew all my funds from excanges just to be safe from hacking/stealing.

Yes, like I am not good at trading on many exchanges. I see that many people have many exchanges. But they ignore security so that without directly checking the list of new exchanges. And in my opinion this is a mistake and if I only focus on the exchange market that has a large volume.

Sometimes we have to use less secure exchanges for trading for sometimes. Specially for bounty hunters and Airdrop hunters have to do so. So we should remember to use it with secure manner. try to withdraw funds as soon as possible is essential habit when using them

for me, so far I still use exchanges that have large volumes such as binance and hitbtc because in my opinion the market is easy to sell because it has a volume that is very basic and also easy to use.

I hear it, I feel sorry for our brothers who lost their cryptos assets. Even until now cryptopia still remain inactivity. It's really better to save it to our personal wallet and we hold their private key. No matter how secure an exchange is, there will come a time when the security will be broken by a hacker.

Decentralized exchanges are usually the best and safest because you have your private keys and projected from hacks. How ever, some centralized exchanges with 2fa are also good to use

that's the right thing to do, but equating all the exchanges is wrong.
there are still many trusted and promising exchanges. binance is one of the best exchanges now you can move your assets there.

This can be lesson for all of us to avoid keeping our assets on somebody elses wallet and always bring back our crypto to wallet that we have private keys for.

I think that those exchanges that you have listed traders do not use, since there are no trading volumes on them. Such exchanges are more needed only to sell some tokens or coins that are only on them and it is unlikely.

I stopped using alot of exchanges too polniex, bittrex, yobit, many others, some I have accts but never used like binance. They all had mostly crashing coins and absolute shit. I found the best coins were on dex in 2018

In the short-term trading operation on the exchange, what you need is to have enough patience to wait for the order, not to be interfered by other factors, there will always be benefits.

Same goes for me, that cryptopia shit scared the hell out of me.. That Cryptopia exchange was one of the exchangers that i've liked. They however were the best service i've ever used. Luckly, i didnt store anything and didnt trade anything from there. I would use Waves platform only now.

Is it the Waves DEX ?

I like the platform as it's secured, well anything decentralized is good as long as we know how to keep our information safe.
I hope this platform will also be popular in the future, right now the volume is low compared to an average centralized exchange.

I think there are many good exchanges for us to participate in, I often choose the top exchanges on the coinmarket to trade and the security level of those exchanges is very high so I usually don't worry much about that

I use all exchanges both centralized and decentralized, as I learnt how to trade myself. Nevertheless, decentralized exchanges are the best you will just be in control of your funds

I think when checking for an exchange, you should go and check the reliability and the profile of the exchange. Me personally if I would choose an exchange choose safe exchange like Catex or cat exchange.Besides using their exchange, the transaction fee that you use will be returned to you in the form of their token which is call the CATT token with its real time value.

I have been using only a few basic exchangers for a long time and this is enough for me to do my job well. all the same it is better to work with reliable proven exchanges in which more menie sure.

Yes, one must pay attention to these things. You may lose money if you choose an exchange that is not worth choosing.
Some good exchanges are Coinbase, Binance and few others are worth checking. So, yes do look for the right exchange and invest. The benefits are immense. You are secure and have nothing to worry about hacking or getting the information leaked.

Earning crypto is too hard and losing them by engaging in bad reputed exchange must be an act of throwing out those hard earned cryptos. We must take time to choose right exchange rather than rushing in choosing exchange and then getting scammed.

It is best to never keep money at exchange, because they can be hacked at any time. I never leave money in exchange, even they are binance or bittrex. I just keep them in my personal wallet

it is the right choice. I myself do not save my main assets at the exchange. only crypto assets that I trade every day that I put there. some of the main assets like ethereum and bitcoin are always in my personal wallet.

I also like that, I still use exchanges like binary, because that is a stock that has a large volume and is also easy to make transactions. so I will not stop to make an exchange on this exchange

I stopped using unknown exchanges since mid 2018.. now I use only Binance, Bittrex and Kraken for 99% of my transactions without any problems

Not whole of tokens are listed on binance and they have no choice if their coins have already traded on another exchange site. If binance doesn't listed its token and can they trade it? That makes sense why so many people are still using another exchange site.

we can see more and more existing exchange platforms. lots of exchanges of course they will always compete to get traders. because the life of the exchange is a trader, when trading activities are in a crowded exchange, it will increase the volume of the exchange itself.

Yobit Exchange fee is ridiculous and support is fail to public satisfaction i face some issues to withdraw my pending asset but i make support ticket but i got respond after 17 days this is really unpair and so that i stopped using this exchange.

Recently, a friend of mine had issue with Yobit when he wanted to withdraw his XRP. This is not the matter of fee this time, it is about getting his withdrawal processed. This is why being selective about exchanges is very important.
Concerning withdrawal on Hitbtc, I always prefer to withdraw in form of ETH, because it is better. If I have the ETH in large quantity and I need BTC, I would get that done on Mercatox, where fee is lower.

I am a crypto trader and bounty hunter. I use some exchanges for trading such as Binance, Hitbtc, Idex, Frokdelta. These are secure and easy operating system. As a bounty hunter sometimes i use less secure exchanges. After sell my coins i try to withdraw funds as early as possiblewith in short time.

but not all coins are in a big place like binance which forces us to use bad exchanges because not all coins can be included in large exchanges like Binance because at this time most coins enter a small exchange first before entering a large exchange.

I have lost huge amount with cryptopia hack, do not know if it will refunded or not, really afraid now days to store our crypto assets on exchanges, even the trusted top ranks one. If cryptopia was hacked, i do not think any top exchanges will be safe for depositing our coins.

For me the main problem is with altcoins that some of them need seperate wallets just to generate keys.

Some coins need seperate full node wallet running on personal computer just to send coins to it.

One wallet can have up to several GB in space size, and several of them on one computer can clog system.

Recently, a lot of new projects that are developing new trading exchanges cryptocurrency. Of course, there are very interesting projects with possible prospects, but due to the current state of the cryptocurrency market, they lose their relevance.

Thanks to the author for the valuable information. ;) Yes, keeping cryptocurrency on the stock exchanges is a big risk, especially if you do not trade. And of course it is better to choose a more popular and reliable exchanges.

This is the safest way to away from exchanges who has low volumes and delay while withdrawing. Most of them use bots to increase volume.

many after hacking, began to think seriously about some exchanges, and in General about the relevance of their use, as people there have lost just a huge amount of money,and a very high probability that no one will not return the money,so it is recommended that large amounts of money not to keep on the exchanges

Yeah some exchanges are weak and full of bugs like what we have seen in before, instead some new exchanges are borning like bitmax, and they are adding some very good tokens that you can't find some of them even on binance, I belive we need to be update in this market and use new things, may be they are better than older ones.

Some bugs will remain unknown until they get exploited by capable scammers for the first time.

The author is referring to decentralized exchanges, which are becoming more and more,and I am sure that they are the future. These exchanges are really no registration or KYC,can be placed almost any token standard ERC. So far,these exchanges are losing in terms of exchange rate,but I hope that in the near future this problem will be solved.

I think it is precisely in the absence of a profile, e-mail, etc. That the exchange will become more vulnerable to hacking. how can you use an exchange like that?

the decision as applying use with efforts as trader to manage tasks on evaluation to helps on further as referring confirmation to gains with the decision as expending use with spares on possession of the funds for exchange with request as closing of position as the finest terms.

You can put up with most of the conditions put forward by many labor exchanges today. I, in turn, use different platforms, due to the fact that not all trading platforms are coins that I need. Sometimes the product is quite specific and therefore it is necessary to use even the highly developed exchanges.

 ethershift - Is this a project advertisement? While they do not even allow to exchange their coins. So to call it an exchange is too early. Safety is good, but how do you profit on such baking?

A good trader is not meant to make use of all Exchangers around, not all are safe and also not all will give you the volume you wanted, we look at security reasons as well will determine.

when you experience a loss when trading, you don't lose your money completely, you will only lose a few percent and if you don't sell it you still have the chance to get it back because the price can go up again, different from hacking, I think it hurts a lot our money will disappear completely and we have no chance to be able to take it back, therefore it is very important to choose a safe exchanger but the fact is that sometimes we cannot choose because the coins we have are not always registered with the exchanger we like

I haven't stopped doing something and I always use different crypto exchanges trying something new.
Well, to be honest it is something where you have to get experience and move on

What people need to understand is that decentralized exchanges also can be hacked. Anytime you observed that exchanges are delaying processing your withdrawals that is a red flay, move your money away from the place and the most important thing, do not keep your fund on exchanges unless you are an active trader

It is best to trade on popular and proven exchanges. The amount of commissions there is certainly higher, but there is a certainty that no one will steal your money. I choose security. It is better to pay a higher percentage for trading than to lose all your money.

Exchanges are the main target of those hackers that is why it is not advisable to store your coin there, not so sure how the traders keep their coin safe with those different exchanges but I have an idea that they just make a quick trade and transfer all their funds on a personal wallet.

I have used a lot of exchanges so far because I am not a trader but only a bounty hunter who can sell my tokens where my tokens can be exchanged. For the problem of being hacked I have never experienced this.

i never good at trading too. I usually using exchange when i want to buy some coins to hold them, or sell coins to get cash.
I think exchange wallet is a good target for hackers because it hold many coins and tokens there.
Thats why we often heard about exchange wallet got hacked.

Yes it sounds like a good point, especially when it is decentralized.
But as always in anonymous field, some precautions must be held in order to stay safe.

It seems to me that the security of my funds, which are on the trading exchange, are not at all related to the provision of personal data. I can use those resources that have Google 2-factor authentication and confirmation via email and sms. This is a high degree of protection. Nevertheless, today there are such trading exchanges that increased the restrictions to an average of $ 10,000 per day, who did not provide KYC.

I believe you are right about your choice, some exchange these days are not worth to be trusted with the whole lot of issues about being hacked day by day and a lot of money being lost and dey don't even try refunding them. The best thing is to get out of exchange once you are done trading send out all your money in there to avoid bull storry.

Why have you stopped using some exchanges? Are you satisfied or not with most of them?
As for me I am not satisfied with Korean exchanges and small exchanges

I am not sure about tokenmom goodness. there are many negative in their bounty thread. People found that its team is fake.

Indeed there are several exchanges that do not use email, passwords, or other profiles. Like the forkdelta using the MEW private key, Stellar that uses the Stellar private key, etc. But not apart from hacker attacks, and this has happened. But the exchange that uses e-mail security is also very safe from attacks, they make with high security. Api key, G.A, IP detection, etc. I have no doubt about the security used by exchange developers. Except new exchange. They are still in the testing phase.

If you stopped using exchanges, then it was for a reason. From my point of view there are good and there are bad exchanges and it is up to you if you use good or best ones or use crappy exchanges

not necessarily, you know the exchange of "coinsmakets" they use email and passwords but see what happens, hackers have taken all the assets there and all the people who trade there are crying because they lost all their money ... look now, their servers are down hacker attack

Is it possible to be safe from hacking? because what I know of all websites is certainly not safe in hacking maybe because the market is not a good target so it is very rare for people who want to enter the market, the most important thing is not to save 100% assets to avoid things that we don't want.

Is a good thing to make use of lots of Exhcanger but this is regarding on the safety side of your business, not to put all funds in one particular Exchanger and also in other hand not to split it on too many of them.

When a trader hold many altcoins in his portfolio, he can't really avoid to put it in exchanges. And most of the time, their own wallets are very buggy that you will just decide to make it sleep on exchanges. Altcoins is the most profitable and the less you have means the less chance you will make higher rewards. So you guys decide if want to be safe from hacking or risk those altcoins in exchanges to have greater roi in the future.

But even a good trader doesn't get around the fact that he has to use several exchanges to get access to most of the coins and tokens out there.

If you are holding couple of cryptocurrencies in your digital wallet and with the current status of cryptoworld as of today, it's really hard for you to use any of the exchanges because selling your crypto is not a good idea this time. Even looking at the crypto market can sometimes frustrates you so its better to rest and never think of the market now.

When an exchange is centralized then you may have the chances of losing your funds through hacking but still there are some centralized exchange which having huge trading volume so you can trade on it but not trusted to store anything in it.

what about decentralize exchange ?  they are more risky imo because most of them uses a private key to access your assets  .  these was the reason that they are prone to phishing attempts  , what if you accidentally visited a phish site and you enter import your private key ? all coins in your portfolio can be lost in an instant  and there is no point of recovering them unlike to centralized exchanges that they may refund you because its not your fault on why they were hacked  .

I totally agree with you. Using exchangers without registering is safe and time-saving. I used Changelly, but now I use ChangeNOW, they offer a favorable rate and bonuses.

I use decentralized exchange but those reliable ones and I always check the url upon using it. And you will be safe if you are always carefull and don't ever search the exchanger sites on google or other search engine since a chances that we can get the fake phising ones and that would be more awful unto us if we get a phising dummy site

No centralized exchange is goig to refund your money if they got hacked so you can make yourself secured when you have the full control of your wallet like in Decentralized exchanges.Phishing sites can be avolided by using high seucirty internet package on your system and you need to bookbar the site and login through only from their to avoid phishing.

If you stick to using centralized exchanges with a license the risk of losing everything is smaller than if you use some shady exchange with anonymous people behind it.

Every people have teir different priority while using trading platforms,some prefer less fee and more trading pairs and some other prefer anonymity so it depends on the people to choose what kind of exchange.

Before trading any exchange we need to check carefully about the details and from where the exchange is running. We need to be very careful with the exchange with low volumes and their tokens listing, some coin will be listed on the basis of money.

Instant exchange service is different from typical trading platforms.Yes you can really make conversions directly without the need of storing your coins into the site but when it comes to fees
it wont really be idea for you to buy and sell on changelly.Rates and profiting opportunities wont really be possible and also you can execute trades and made analysis into those platforms which do have charting.
Its up to you on which you do prefer.

Ethershift is like a more advanced version of etherdelta so i can see that one moving up. Especially as you can buy their ESH tokens are gain monthly airdrops of their profits

You think of exchanges that only support p2p, no profile, no e-mail, no password, that's the safest, maybe this is true, because I joined in 2017 and have traded on several exchanges, three times, having exchanged hacked before I could withdraw some of my assets and recently some $ 10,000 worth of cryptopia assets were there and until now there has been no news

I not familiar with this one, is this live now or not yet?
I believe this is an decentralized again as you said it's an advanced version of etherdelta.
I guess we already have a big player in the market for decentralized exchange, I would rather trust binance dex than this one.

Ethershift is very different from Etherdelta. The use of Etherdelta is easier than Ethershift. I don't understand how to use this market. There is no login function.

I wasn't talking about traders and their anonymity, but about those behind the exchange and their anonymity, which in my eyes isn't good.

Indeed, there are exchanges that can be hacked by hackers who use e-mail or passwords, but the control power is higher. For example, every time we log into the exchange there is an email notification. I suggest that the email to register the exchange is activated on the smartphone. So that we can control at any time. But if the exchange uses a private key, is there an email notification. Of course not. Loss control.

Do not put your coins or tokens on the exchange. Whenever the exchange can become a hacker's goal. I also agree that small exchanges are unattractive for hackers. But there are such cases. Such small exchange altmarkets were also hacked last year.

Some of them are prone for hacking and some of them are doing an inside hacking and this is so bad to see if we will be caught by scam exchange for this we shouldn't trust our balance whenever its big or medium exchange where we go.

Right, even reputable or popular exchangers nowadays wont really guarantee you that your assets are really safe.Anything can really be hacked,if its hard then they might consider
on making an inside job to get of those funds (who knows) peoples mind do changes overtime when we do already talk about money.We cant really judge as of this moment into those
top exchangers but all the possibilities is there.

They are all good exchange but their functionalities are limited. That's the reason why most active traders opt for well known and credible exchanges like binance and the rest. Even with their reputation in the industry, it is advised to take some precautions when using these exchanges.

I think you are too paranoid to trade. some exchanges have trusted security, and don't have a bad reputation.
I won't say it because everyone might know him and never have a problem with that exchange.
I'm sure you need a good reference to choose a trusted exchange.

For those worried about security just use coinbase, which is unlikely to go under. Not much of a selection but it is one of the safest exchanges out there, along with gemini by the winklevoss twins

I do recognize coinbase but its my first time to hear about gemini, btw is that a new wallet ? Anyway in regards to coinbase i heard that many users complain about this wallet  . infact there is a trendy news lately with the title " #deletecoinbase "  i dunno if that was also a trending tweet on twitter or not but i dont think that coinbase is a bad wallet as im also a regular user of coinbase before but now i rarely use it .

It's also an exchange, you can refer to this link for more information > https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/gemini/

it depends on you to maintain the security of the account that you have,
All you do is register for security using 2FA with your cellphone, Google Authenticator or confirm every time you start accessing the exchange you entered

Now every exchange is offering this type of security because the exchange is caring about their customers. Many people are choosing higher volume exchange because most of the coins listed there are generating some higher volumes due to community members are supporting those coins. So when it comes to choosing exchange we need to check carefully check the coin before start investing in it.

The market is on a good trend. I am actively exchanging and trying to retrieve what has been lost since the BTC Dump. Please try to get up with you guys

Yes, but it is not a good idea to register in all the exchange due to because of some security restrains. Only concentrate on one exchange in which potential coins are listed because registering on multiple exchange will leads us to confuse more about the coins.

So, what you are trying to imply here?You are somehow derailing on what you do reply.Its just a typical thing for you to use up exchangers when it comes to conversion of your coins to other coins/fiat.
Using up exchangers would vary on each users preference yet we have seen on how many exchangers as of this moment can be used.

It is good to use decentralized exchange platform, it doesn't require any email, KYC only password and wallet that you use for DEX.
But as of the moment most of the exchange that always listed on top are centralized exchange requiring KYC, email and password, but if
any of you using centralized exchange platform I suggest you to use or enable 2FA they have to their platform.

Have you know about arbitration strategy? I guess you should know first about before you made a statement to don't have several exchange.

I get used to use some exchange to arbitration strategy when the bull run come because it is an easy way to gain profit instead to gain profit through trading.

The exchange on crypto market is always have different volume/price each other, you can your coin to gain profit such as coin A at binance exchange only have price $1 but at bittrex exchange the coin A has $1,5 then you can send them into bittrex exchange and you will get profit from it.

That is the function you have several exchange on crypto market, because to gain profit is not only thru on trading only instead you have more interest as a trader only.

Not every exchange ask you to complete the KYC before you can make a withdrawal from their site. As example, binance, you still can withdraw to max 2 btc on daily without any KYC, that's already quite a big amount for most of people.

DEX exchanges are preferable by so many people, because you don't have to reveal your identity for them (sending documents, completing KYC..) and also their fees are usually lower than centralized exchanges. But unfortunately, you can't exchange every coin or token in DEX, and the number of good centralized exchanges is limited.

There's no instance for me as to I've lost my coins due to hack of an exchange. Even if some of them, I was using were reportedly hacked, they had no effect on my balances.
Though I have lost some coins here and some there due to closure of trading of a specific coin or of whole exchanges and the amount was too low to trade or withdraw.
Had some withdrawal issues with some exchanges which were solved by support tickets.

Yes, you are right, there are very few exchanges asking for KYC, even though if they don't ask KYC, we need to secure our account by activating all of them. Some potential is giving higher withdrawals and they don't need to submit their details.

Not really,,, if DEX is preferable by many then we would see more DEXs being popular and have much more volume than CEX. Compare Binance alone to all the DEXs and I bet you,,, there are still many more users and much higher volumes on Binance. It is a sad case but until DEX can also improve their speed and ease of use, this is going to be the case for many more years.

Honestly, for what is good to dex compared to centralized exchange platform they're not asking their client users to submit any KYC, but  they're are some DEX even though no kyc but they are asking you to import your Private and ethereum wallet address before proceeding the actual trade to their platform, in which I think is not safe and risky and that DEX was Etherdelta, Fordelta and tokenmom, and more.

If you just mean to exchange a currency to other or just buy with or sell for fiat, than you don't need the currently popular centralized exchanges or even the decentralized ones. They are mostly for active traders who earns by the fluctuation of price. For a general holder and occasional traders, it's better to put your coin on your own wallet and trade p2p when needed to.
An alternative to Chagelly could be shapeshift and fixedfloat.

Just trade tokens or altcoins to well known exchanges such as binance,kucoin, bittrex and livecoin ,these are the exchanges were i trade some of my tokens

im already convinced when you say that " rules changed year after year " but when you say that " exchange will require a kyc just because btc value increase " i guess im not going to agree with that . btc value dont have any connection with the changing rules or on the implementation of a kyc  . and you forget that we still have a decentralized exchanges  , even the day that all cex exchange will require a kyc we can still trade freely/anonymously on dex exchange sites .

Binance was hacked. Kucoin was accused recently of heavy wash trading. Bittrex also people lost a lot because of flash crashes at some point.

Mt Gox was a former well known exchange. So was Quadriga, so was Yobit so was many many names.

Point is, as long as you trust an exchange, you will get screwed. Just a matter of when.

That refund was already part of their system, they have a SAFU funds so when there's a hack they can refund easily to the exchanges users who are effected. I don't know the process but it's likely just a crediting or balance for accounts that was affected, in short, just an internal transactions.

There is no perfect exchange, there are times that exchange screwed up that's why we should not only trust one exchange, when it comes to exchanges we also need to learn how to diversify our funds so we will not be fully affected when there's a hack.

We should always diversify our fund to our own wallets because there is no guarantee in this world. An exchange which has the ability even though they lost some money due to hack, the exchange should keep some fund aside in order to protect their investors. Without investors, exchanges cannot survive long.

This is why I like decentralized exchanges most and only high reputation centralized exchange. Because users feel safe there. I have no problem with KYC documents for high ranking exchanges like Binance, Bittrexx, Coinbase. These exchanges are very safe, especially Bittrex and Coinbase. I have stopped using yobit, coinbene, Gateio, Coinexchange, and many others! I am not saying they are bad, I just stopped trading there.

If you continue losing in trade, then you may avoid trading in this bear market and I respect your decision to stop using many exchanges. and I suggest you buy some good coins and hodl them until the market pumps well or do bounty campaigns. Good Luck.

Decentralized exchange is such a system that you can operate independently without the need to send an email, and KYC only needs your password or private key in the safe and you must know no one else. Except for a DEX that regulates you to import your private key and your eth address that is Etheredelta or Forkdelta for me once you use this platform it is very dangerous because they hold access to your private key, eh In other cases there are other dex you can do that you do not need to exchange your private key in platform.

Same here, I stopped quite a few and stick only to 1 or 2.  Red flags are poorly designed sites, missing pages, misspelling and no reply from Support Dept.

Recently,several new exchange sites have been created
and most of them are not legit
You don't have to try all sites exchange
Sometimes see comments on twitter page of site or visit their telegram , give you reputation on the site

i have so considered some exchanges most special to me in terms of transactions. I am so used to carrying out soem transactions in certain exchanges because of their interface and how properly it is coordinated, in terms of trading structure and its user interface

In the bear market stage, the price of some altcoins will become lower and lower. In order to recover losses, transactions must be conducted in a timely manner. Therefore, long-term transactions cannot affect most altcoins.
