when it comes to privacy, people will always chose decentralized exchange like VLX over centralized exchange like bittrex, the only reason why people are still using those centralized exchange is because we don't have a good decentralized exchange yet, If this team succeed to build a better option we're all going to use it.
yeah, after the hack etherdelta people do also not trust anymore on decentralized exchanges. But the main reason why most people prefer an exchange is its volume. With more volume they get more profits.
but what happen with etherdelta prove that decentralized exchange are more secure, no one lost money except those who imported their private key on that fake website, if you use metamask and always check the website you will loss nothing. I use etherdelta when got hack and I didn't lost any ether or token, my wallet still safe.
I know what you mean but people just hear etherdelta is hacked and they are not gonna search more news about it. But other features from Etherdelta are also not brilliant, like the upload der website time, poor infographics, very poor support ...
It is one of the first decentralized exchange but made generally a negative name for decentralized exchanges ... I hope VLX is going to change this.
