What are, if any, some good sites with decent charts for the other coins?
Already know of good bitcoinwisdom, and cryptocoinchart is ok but looking for better.

What is this about bitcointalk.org has been hacked?

Is it true?

Not seeing any announcements or threads.     

A loaded and subjective question no doubt. Looking for insight.

As of right now, is there a reason to use one exchange over the others regarding fees, volatility, etc., into consideration?

Is it a good idea to create a new wallet to use only for exchanges, or is a separate receiving address good enough?

Also, is one exchange better than the rest? Mt Gox is bigger. BTC-e looks to be a lot cheaper in fees than any of the others.

Is there a minimum trade amount? The sites lack some useful information.
