Just saw these guys in Vancouver last weekend, and they kicked ass!!!

Stay strong people, and remember why you invested in the first place!

(and yes, I've so far lost my shirt on this trade)  

Hi everyone, I've only been mining and trading since mid December, and I've already had issues with two exchanges where I make deposits that never confirm. When I've sent support tickets, the form has stated that I will usually receive a response within 24 hours. One exchange hasn't responded to three of my support tickets in over 10 days. I would like to hear the opinions other miner/traders regarding the exchanges they find most reliable, as well as which exchages are most responsive to support tickets when problems occur. (because even with the best run exchange, mistakes a bound to happen occasionally)

What say you all?
