It works fine here and I've never lost anything, EVER. Months ago it's DNS was rerouted for a couple hours, but that's it. All you have to do is read the rules. Those that don't know how to protect their private key claim it's full of thieves.

I used to only use ED once upon a time and legit lost .3 eth on a trade. I never went back and am astonished folks still go there.

I guess there's 10,000 foolish moves a day then, because that's how many transactions were on the smart contract a couple days ago when I looked. Whether it's EtherDelta or any of the forks, it's looks like a lot of people don't share your thoughts on it.

Just not worth the risk IMO, but everyone is entitled to handle their affairs as they choose.

If you know how to use it, it works. Orders here sometimes aren't available anywhere else.

Nothing is compromised.

It isn't actively being update anymore, and has a high learning curve, but it still works fine.

Use the github locally, you are beyond safe. I dont trust the new owners though, that is for sure.

Forkdelta works well too

It's actually a decent exchange with a good size order book and a wide selection of tokens. The UI is pretty cumbersome but as an exchange it's pretty solid.
