Thanks! Well, they were having a lot of server issues which was a 1st red flag for me, but what really bothers me is that they are showing a complete lack of support. Many ppl can't even withdraw all their money from their exchange because of their limits. Also, they haven't been answering tickets to verify them and increase their limits. I'd recommend Bittrex instead.

As for cryptocurrency news I basically just read bitcointalk, twitter, coindesk and talk to friends. There are other sites at times but these are my main sources. I'll surely keep an eye on steemit now too, heh.
