I keep on hearing bad things about Cryptsy.  I used it before many times, but I'm not sure.  People also use Bter and DGEX to buy NXT. Which one, or another option, is better and safer?

Ok ty i succesfully registered an alias. So from now on if i want to send NXT to this address i can also write the alias in the account ID field and it works correctly right?

Auction has still 5 days to go. Please bid here:

Here is a shot of the NXTdot, hanging on the wall:

People have been reporting A LOT of problems with Cryptsy lately. The consensus is: avoid.
DGEX seems to work ok but the interface is clunky and cashouts may be slow/cost you depending on currency and circumstances.
BTER has worked ok for me but others have had problems - I think with delays and withdrawal costs.
In short, it's not nearly as easy to get a hold of NXT as it is most other bitcoin-based cryptos.
That sounds quite negative, but it's actually the reverse. New exchanges are coming online, NXT is being added to existing ones, and there will soon be fiat exchanges for NXT. NXT has already achieved a huge amount and has outstanding tech and developers. One of the bottlenecks to adoption is viable exchanges, and that's about to change.

Yup cheap NXT was cheap at 6K-7K with all these problems 

Soon not anymore

GL man last time i tried i had my coins stucked in a limbo for one month, they gave my NXT back only after 57 support tickets.

I certainly can't say thinking of that makes me happy

It used to be that they transferred in a day. No its more like 3 days.
I have mostly got away with just 5 tickets.

Oh, btw. Never sold a NXT in my life

Posting it here too:
I've made a thread on reddit/r/CryptoCurrency: New alt NEM is selling stakes via Nxt asset exchange

Please upvote! Because besides helping the NEM release, it will also rise awareness about what the Nxt AE can do.




I'm not the tech master (so take it with caution), but I think I can answer:
1) The maximum time for lending 32767 blocks - which is about a month.
2) Why should it be lost. That information is stored in the blockchain, not in the computer.
3) Apparently. Check here in forkedchains pool - he uses the API to get all kinds of info. And I remember that he put his script up for others (or planned so). Can't find a thread now in a quick search, but maybe PM him in the nxtforum.

Thank you.
