Description
Vircurex opened for trading in October 2011. It focuses on providing sophisticated trading mechanisms (orders, stoporders, options, loans) for Bitcoins and the most popular alt chains.
A distinctive feature of this exchange is that here you can trade these currencies in any variations of pairs! That is, you can, for example, exchange DOGE for NXT directly, without involving BTC in this process. To do this, simply uncheck the “Show only BTC exchange rates”box in your account settings[1].
Currencies
The company has been using its cryptocurrency reserve to reimburse users</strong> whose balances were affected by the previous hacks, The Next Web reports. “We had enough coin balances in our cold wallet to upkeep our platform and the positive cashflow enabled us to gradually refill the wallets. Unfortunately we had large fund withdrawals in the last weeks which have led to a complete depletion of our cold wallet balance and we are now facing the option of either closing the site with significant unrecoverable losses for all or to work out a solution that allows the exchange to continue to operate and gradually pay back the losses”, explains a statement published online by Vircurex[2].
