How do I check the exchange is safe?

[jakezyrus]

how do you check if the exchange is safe ? the answer is  verry simple .

you need to deposit and start using that exchange and If you feel that there is something weird happening to their service , let say the coins arent appearing on your wallet or the costumer support isnt responding to your queries then you can immediately say that those exchange are bad and seems shady . You should refrain using them and better try another one. just dont put huge amounts just to be safe .

I’ve been trading on the same two popular exchanges for a while. But now I want to trade FNTC token which is trading on Ethen.market. It looks the same as other exchanges and says it’s decentralized but how do I know my private keys are safe with them? They are new and don’t look very well known. Is there a way to know they are safe if they haven’t been around for too long?

Are you planning to deposit all of your token to their exchanges? I suggest don't do that since they were all vulnerable to any attacks from the outside.
And why would you want to use a new exchanges instead of those reputable exchanges who already exist. Don't be a stupid person who just randomly put their token to a shady exchanges just because they were blinded by the offers.

there are no absolutely safe exchanges. Nevertheless I would recommend you to use the most popular ones such as Binance, Huobi, Bittrex etc
Also there are some pretty popular and userfriendly DEXe such as Idex or Forkdelta. Lots of people use them so you can be sure they kinda safe at the moment

actually any exchange can be turn out to scam, even they are famous before. so all exchange are never really safe, si you must be careful when inserting you private keys or unlocking your wallet by metamask, always make sure you're aware whats the risk.

Don't see why you would need to go to a new exchange as long as the established ones like IDEX and Etherdelta exist. I will never switch to a new untrusted exchange. There are so many of them everywhere, like garbage.

If I were you I will just wait for that coin to be listed in other exchange sites rather than risking my coins especially you need to import your private key. However, if you really want to sell, just take the risk by sending to other wallet and use it to that exchange.

It's fine to consume more gas rather than compromising your wallet.

I agree with your opinion, bro, preferring to wait for a better exchange and lots of volume than the new exchange because I have experienced strange things in dealing in new exchanges because of many sudden problems.

CRD / cryptaldash is a new exchange, but I really appreciate the performance of this exchange is very impressive.
even though this is a new exchanger, I conclude that not all new exchanges have a problem.

Try to read some reviews about such exchanger you may find your self more assured if you know the feedback of others who uses it for a long period of time. Do some research find any complains about such exchanger and by then make your choice

for cautionary steps I suggest you do not easily enter new exchanges, unless the exchange is included in the Coinmarket cap and if you want to see prices you can enter decentralized exchanges such as IDEX, Forkdelta, stoxe...

Stay off your hands to any new exchange and don't trust them so quick. If there will be legit new exchanges, let them to make their name noisy in the future but as long as there's few review and experiences trust the old ones that are reliable.

I don't fully rely on coinmarketcap's info. It's easy to check the reviews of those exchanges that might caught your interest so spending a little bit of your time doing research about it won't cause you trouble.

A simple google search wont really cost an arm and leg but most people do really forget this basic thing and neither do I wont really easily trust up into those exchange suggestion being listed on CMC.
Always have the habit on searching for informations of an exchange.Check for feedbacks or reviews and if you cant find one then don't risk up because you wont know if you are just throwing of your coins completely on void.

It's why you need to spend a little bit of your time. Though some google results won't be reliable at least your are on the right forum to as things on specific topics and concerns.
 
Don't also be too gullible if you read reviews, be smart though its hard to know what's a paid review and not but look for multiple sources to verify.

The choice of the exchange is a very important step for any trader, but before that it is necessary to study all the reviews about it, also to study many blogs, as well as many other important details, there are a number of services on which there is a rating of exchanges

Where we can find the reviews when an exchange is very new but we want to use it then we have to check the website and origin and also they have address for their office or company but when it comes to decentralized exchange then it is completely safe even it is new because we are controlling our exchange's wallet with private keys.

[LUGHUL]

Most decentralized exchanges use Private Key to import our wallets. But, to check whether it's safe or not you have to find out first by asking in a forum and others. As far as I know, decentralization exchange are safe is Etherdelta, Idex, and Forkdelta.

The security of your account on the stock exchange should be at the proper level, but you need to consider that if you do not take care of this, then your account will not be protected, there are many programs on the Internet that will help you with this.

[yohananaomi]

What must be avoided is not to exchange in a new place, because obviously we cannot expect anything that has not been tested at all. besides we get it and have set a market there, we have to do it. but if you want to trade it is not recommended for a place that has not been tested, because there are still many of the best and very reliable. why do you have to force it to trade in a place that we cannot know ?

Check first if they have a complaint, you can do it in the scam section or by using Google, trading on a new unheard exchange is quite risky, you don't want to get scammed but that is a risk involved if you are trading on a new exchange, it's a gamble you never know if the site is true or not.
