Are Safecoins exchange specific, like Mt.Gox BTC?

Does this also apply to Poloniex or MasterXchange?

Yes. So if you worry about that don’t keep there all of your coins. Withdraw the part you don’t need to a wallet you have access to without anyone’s permission.
Personally I’m not doing that because it’s not convenient, I’m just sharing best practices :-).

@gonefarmin

For now, we need to go through Bitcoin and safecoin friendly exchanges, so it seems to me my question remains.

That’s not true. See What if? You could lock a Bitcoin in a Safecoin? - #7 by 19eddyjohn75.

However, I remember a big realization, after karpeles filed for bankruptcy protection, was that many users were unable to send their bitcoins to another exchange to cash out

Not true.

@gonefarmin

end MaidSAFE to MasterXchange (crucial test point, is it receivable?)

How do you think everyone else gets their MaidSafe to MasterXchange (and out)?

Edit: you can’t buy/sell a Bitcoin on distributed exchange faster than it takes to get 6 (or say 3) confirmations on the Bitcoin blockchain, that’s why it’s irrelevant if you have a MaidSafe distributed exchange (on which you can buy/sell SAFE for BTC) that works “faster”.
