Which Alt Exchange is the MtGox of Alts?

[DaFockBro]

Which altcoin exchanges do you guys recommend steering clear of to avoid getting goxxed?

[baka]

So you're looking for the gox equivalent of an alt exchange but you want it to be completely different than gox. I think you need to sit down and ask yourself a few questions.

Now all crypto exchanges are still quite immature as far as they just starting their way to the future, all of them have high risk to go down, thus best solution is to try to keep as much assets in private wallets as possible. So keep at exchange only minimal needed amount of coins.

+1. Keep coins in wallet and if you expect an upwarding trend do a transfer in time when y know that particular exchange is laggy during popular demands.

Right, my bad. That would be criptsy, plenty of shady business being run there.

There is lots of small unknown exchanges with something like 1BTC total volume

[tokeweed]

why not just set up gateways and use ripple?  you will have a decentralized exchange, empowering the traders themselves.

Funny question... Do you mean big/influential or scammy?

Quoted for truth. First adapters are not always the best business men.

Just moved all my funds from smaller exchanges, bound to happen.

Oh, so true. That guy kicked me for literally nothing out of their channel. Then bragged about it like he accomplished the biggest goal of his life.

Gox has had massive withdrawal issues for a long time, and yet some people kept on trusting that site until now. Now if you lost money to Gox, can you really blame Gox when it was you who was stupid? Same goes for exchanges run by anonymous people. If the person decides to just run away, you can't really do anything. Cryptsy does have speed issues, but I wouldn't be worried about their safety aspect. It looks like a legit exchange with a proper support system run by real non-anonymous people.

mcxnow.com has already done it once well before mtGox ran with the money.  Now mcxnow.com is trying do pull the scam again.

Yes. 
2. Realsolid stored all client passwords in a clear text file open to the internet. 
3. Would ban and lock client accounts and then syphon coins from the client wallets and not acknowledge that they existed.  This happened too many time to be just an outlier.  Then when they shutdown they emptied all the client accounts and when they started the new site no carry over of existing accounts.  All the coins were gone.

This is serious ... Thanks for the heads up.
