Hi, I understand this is all kind of complex, but there is a big difference: on Bittrex, a seller must find someone willing to accept the price offered by the seller. In other words, Bittrex just matches up buyers and sellers, so there's no guarantee you will be able to find a buyer, and Bittrex has no risk either way, since they don't buy/sell themselves.
On BlockTrades, we offer a price that a buyer can accept (there is no third party in the transaction). Also, this is an entirely automated system, so someone can keep selling to us and our system would keep buying. Generally, we're ok with taking this risk, but not when it means we would be accepting Steem that we don't think the seller has legitimate rights to use as he pleases.
These guys also listed steem today : ~~~ embed:1235491405495066624 Do you know anything about them ? Can we advice people to use that exchange while yours in not working ? twitter metadata:Qml0ZWV1RXhjaGFuZ2V8fGh0dHBzOi8vdHdpdHRlci5jb20vQml0ZWV1RXhjaGFuZ2Uvc3RhdHVzLzEyMzU0OTE0MDU0OTUwNjY2MjQgRG8geW91IGtub3cgYW55dGhpbmcgYWJvdXQgdGhlbSB8 ~~~
My recommendation is Bittrex, for now. They are one of the most trustworthy of the centralized exchanges. I would absolutely avoid Poloniex (basically owned by Justin Sun I think). Binance is a problem now because of their voting. That new one you mention could be ok, but I would not keep large amounts there (or on any exchange for that matter). Buy it, then move it your own Steem acount.
So what are your plans if the question about Tron Boys "legitimate rights to use as he pleases" is not cleared...in a certain time frame?
If it takes longer...??
Can y'all not isolate and freeze certain accounts?
This issue will be resolved soon I believe. In the remote case it takes a while, we'll re-enable and design contingencies. I'm thinking we may do that tomorrow, because I have an idea for how we can handle this and still sell Steem.
That sounds better ;)
Thank you so much for the feedback, and explanation, I really apreciate it!!
