Because I use Bittrex!

Actually I just got lucky that I just happened to created an account over there as opposed to Poloniex when I first got started in the cryptocurrency space. 

I am sorry for everyone out there currently having problems with it, I am sure that it is beyond frustrating. Hopefully they can figure out whatever issues they are having and move forward. 

I am just praying that Bittrex doesn't soon follow suit!

I have heard good things about BlockTrades. 

Perhaps I will have to look into using BlockTrades ( Hive account@blocktrades ) if I need to create a backup account if something should happen with Bittrex.

I haven't heard nearly the number of complaints with them as I have with other external exchanges.

It is pretty clear that the infrastructure is not quite there currently for cryptocurrencies. Hopefully with all the new eyes on the space we can actually get some properly running exchanges.

Are there any other exchanges that people highly recommend using? 

I am in the United States by the way.
