Great info. Thanks! I will keep an eye out for them to re-enable them. I think Blocktrades are amazing!
I used the Exchange feature in Blockchain.ino to go from Ether to Bitcoin Cash (they use Shapeshift in their integrated exchange). The exchange failed, Shapeshift received my Ether and didn't refund it. It has been over a week and their support still hasn't got back to me.
With Blocktrades, I had a minor concern and they got back to me within 15 minutes!
Expensive lesson learned!
