Want to hear from more experienced on if Nucleus is alright.

Was going to post in noob section, but that would get me nowhere. Is Nucleus market fine or not? Things appear to have stalled there and they are not taking new registration on their forum. What do ya'll think?

Here's the short version of a very long and tedious story: I have done a handful of transactions on their site, and I trust Nucleus about as far as I can throw them.

If you do a search of the other threads, you'll quickly learn that Nucleus is the reigning champion of playing dirty. They have sabotaged other sites with DDoS attacks, leveraging themselves into a stronger position in the process. They've also allowed vendors who are infamous for scamming customers to continue operating on their site. Read the Nucleus subreddit for more info. And I wasn't even aware of the latest technical problems until I read this thread.

EDIT: As a few of you have pointed out, there is no proof that Nucleus was behind the DDoS attacks. It could all be coincidental that Agora was almost completely inaccessible for weeks. Oh, and BlackBank too, in the weeks leading up to their bizarre disappearance. And Alphabay. And Abraxas. And Middle Earth. And further coincidence that Nucleus had great uptime during that period. And a bit more coincidence to top it off, as all of the previously mentioned factors propelled Nucleus from obscurity to success.

not sure, they dont seem to be able to finalize orders, maybe they have a cash flow problem

I've used nucleus a handful of times, I thought I had found a new favourite market since Evo.

I've made 7 orders thru Nucleus so far, all went fine.

I've used it, it's been fine for me. Pretty much trust them like any other market - as little as you need to. Deposit coins that you need for order, purchase, withdraw any remaining coins, gtfo.

All I can say is that I hear all the noise about Nucleus.

But, if like me and 90% of all people, making standard personal purchases has been hassle free. I've never had an issue.

When it comes to all the hoo-ha I don't follow the forums. It's your call. I say personal; go for it.

You want to get down and dirty, maybe stick with Agora.

I just placed an order on nucleus yesterday with a trusted vendor i've used on other sites, so finalized early. he confirmed the order and is shipping it so all worked for me and the vendor as of yesterday.
