Interesting why he switched from Bittrex to Binance.
I could not register to Bittrex since they decline new registrations without invitations.
I remember that I was surprised that both bittrex and blocktrades froze their Steem wallets, similar to what poloniex did before them, but for much shorter periods of time.
I also oppose centralized exchanges, but Bitshares does not let me register from my PC, and unlike Byteball, I got no help in the case of Bitshares' case.
Having checked my Byteball wallet, it seems its (powered by Changelly) fees are 0.75%, which is more than what I pay to my bank when trading.

This is how bitshares greets me now when I try the online exchange:

It used to be a different screen, but they worked to change it.

I never saw anyone else complain about it, so I wonder why suggeelson refrains from Bitshares, since it is safer due to its decentralization and I read that it is also cheap.

My reasons for refraining from upme are its grump compliance - the 3.5 days deadline, which is unfair both to genuine curators and to better bidbots, and the "if you don't like it, don't use it" reply of its owner to a legitimate complaint by a bidder which I saw.
The 3.5 days deadline also makes it less profitable, due to the slower recycle of rewards.
At least he does not have a no refunds policy and its automatic refunds are quite good from what I saw, but I stopped following this bot.

I think that in order to reach the main (with no regards to tags) trending page, one should use all of the biggest bidbots, since others do and this created an arms race which forces everyone whom wants to reach trending to use all of the biggest bidbots.
I care about ROI and reputation, much less about exposure, since if someone follows me, my threads should appear on his feed, and when one searches for a specific tag which I recently posted under, my thread should be visible for him too.
I refuse to pay for grumpy compliance, but I do use grumpy compliance bots when it is appropriate, usually for immediate upvotes and much rarer on other occasions.
