Bitcoin Forum

I want to find a truly safe bitcoin exchange which has alt-coin trading options. I was considering Cryptsy but after the stories of not allowing users to withdraw funds I find it very suspicious like another mt-gox. What exchanges would be recommended I am looking for three things: Low fees, Safety/Trustworthy, altcoin trading.

You can try poloniex.com, I am using them for altcoin trading since last one year without any single problem yet.

here are some, altcoin trading, low commission
https://poloniex.com (https://poloniex.com)
 https://bittrex.com (https://bittrex.com)
https://bleutrade.com (https://bleutrade.com)
https://www.livecoin.net/ (https://www.livecoin.net/)

Altcoin is with very low exchange price only When come to bitcoin in trading Its not only about website Its also about traders. They have to be with good trustworthy customers dude. Then we will be safe Else safety question mark for all the time.

I don't think trading alticoin or investing in alticoin will be a good idea because it's value is very less and they don't have any brains to do something different they are just copying Bitcoin and it will take ages for them to reach the level of Bitcoin if they could survive and before tradin check the number of transaction and trust level of that particular trader because some trader's commission will be very less but they will not be trust worthy so always look for trust rating and number of transactions.

Thank you all for suggestions my top choice now would be poloniex.com, since it seems to have the highest volume for altcoin trading out of any of the other exchanges listed.

The best is always to used decentralized exchanges, but they are still in development.
I can recommend Poloniex and Bittrex for save trade.

Never had any problems with Poloniex.

We are new and building slowly , come talk and check us out at https://btcpool.exchange

http://c-cex.com
http://polionex.com
http://cryptsy.com
http://bittrex.com

for this moment i would like to recommend poloniex because Low fees for bitcoin only 0.0001 per withdraw also very Safety/Trustworthy and support altcoin trading because basically this exchange is altcoin exchange

I would go for Kraken and Bittrex.

They are my favourite exchanges. The also got a good volume on most coins, which means you can buy/sell for the actual trading price, instead of -/+ 10%

I could say gemini as they have credibility of the owners celebrity status but of course I would get some flack for that. But you know they have the money and funding so they are not going like mt. gox or down the path of cryptsy any time soon.
Look at the article from Wired to judge for yourself if you find their style to your liking before you commit any bitcoin to their exchange:

~1year @ Poloniex never one proplem  ;D

I slowly get in trading, some of my first trades was on yobit. Week ago I made account on bittex and for now everything is good. I didn't have any problems with this two sites, but I trade for really low amounts cause of I'm still in faze of learning and I'm tryin to be careful.
I see a lot of positive comments for polionex so maybe u should go with that. Its your money in the end, so try several and find the one thwt suits u. Regards and good luck, for sure u will need it in some moments.

im never had bad experience with poloniex

I don't thinkg cryptsy is a good idea, but the others are good alternatives.
Bitfinex is also a very good exchange. Much volume there.

At this time cryptsy wound't be a good idea I would go with bitfinex like HostSurf stated.

There is no guarantees place we can trade 100% safely .
All depends on how we used the exchange for, if you plan to trade for huge amount and then you need to choose top 5 exchanges in the world like kraken or equivalent with kraken class.
If you plan to trade for small amount you need to choose a popular exchange with high volume daily trade like poloniex and Bittrex. Always move your funds periodically from one exchange to another to avoid something unexpected like what happened to cryptsy.

Poloniex.com or bittrex.

polo, trex

Go with the major exchanges like
Bitfinex - BTC
Bitrexx - Altcoins
Kraken - BTC, STR etc.

The other exchanges are good too but make sure to research their reputation.

Bittrex, and poloniex... Maybe c-cex.

Poloniex is a top favorite for many. I've used Shapeshift.io many times, it's the easiest and safest way to trade because you do it on the fly without accounts. It's a little more expensive though than others.

There is also Cryptopia and they have also an miningpool. A PoS pool is under developement. Dont know how long that is going to take for them. I forgot that they also have an marketplace. They need some more volumes but its growing. 

Cryptopia is one of the worst exchanges around. First they had a faucet, then not.

Then their is their interface.. crap
Offcourse you can trade, when you aim to spent 5 cent

I have been using poloniex for trading the 0.2% fees are ok, I am satisfied with the exchange. I had another question of what exchange would you use to buy bitcoins?

I have used coinbase in the past for bitcoins but think its fees are ridiculously high over 1% per transaction is way too much!
