I stopped reading there. You just discredited yourself and now it's obvious you have no idea what you are talking about. Cryptorush? Seriously? The scam exchange? I'm all for smoking pot but when you say things like this you make pot heads look stupid.
POT was doing fine on Cryptorush, not because of the underlying exchange, but because Cryptorush provided the right amount of liquidity for POT to grow organically. Substitute which ever one of the medium sized exchanges you prefer in place of Cryptorush.
I have an innate distrust for all of the recent exchanges that have cropped up... Cryptorush, SwissCEX, coinmarket, Poloniex, Openex, Mintpal... the list is as long as your arm. The only exchange with a real track record is the much hated and despised Cryptsy, which according many people here on this forum is huge scam as well.
So think about the fundamentals of my argument... I was not promoting Cryptorush as an exchange, but instead referring to the fact that size and volume of Cryptorush as an exchange meshed well with the maturity of the POT market.
As for exchanges... I refuse to keep any funds on any exchanges... as I believe that all the new exchanges will be exposed to immense hacking pressure and most will fall over. So be diligent in guarding your coins.
25K, you make a lot of valid points. I have been stressing the importance of limiting the exchange exposure/volume that relatively new coins get, but no one wants to hear it.
I also used cryptorush as my primary exchange, and not because I thought it was the greatest design or most secure, but simply because it had a great match of volume (medium volume, which is better for me than massive volume) number of coins supported, reasonable fees, etc.
All exchanges right now are sketchy folks - deal with it. Kidding yourself into thinking that your exchange of choice will never get hacked or do something shady is naive.
