Title: Best replacement of ShapeShift.io till it's down?
Post by: Raja_MBZ on April 11, 2016, 02:30:34 PM
Which service is the best replacement of ShapeShift.io for the exchange of altcoins? I mean, a service which is totally automated like it.

Is it all automated (completions within 15 minutes) like ShapeShift? Or do I have to wait for sometime to receive my altcoins?

there was a signature campaign advertising on the forum a long time ago called bitin.io which was practically copy of shapeshift have no idea if they are good or even active.

but for replacement you can use exchangers like bittrex it doesn't need information like poloniex (nothing so far anyways) and you can make the change fast and to the current price

Same question for bittrex, is it automated like shapeshift?

Poloniex is an exchange - so you'll have to register with a name and email address. But once there, trading takes a couple of seconds, and so does the withdrawal - you withdraw, confirm the withdrawal email, and the coins get sent to you within minutes.

Same thing does for bittrex- it is an exchange.

Thanks! That helps a bunch! Gonna try Bittrex.com.

You can try Changelly as well, it is the closest one to Shapeshift. Exchanges can be complicated/

I haven't used changelly but they are also out there working for quite some period now. They work in similar way to shapeshift.io so i think they are the only similar service working right now. Using altcoin exchanger will be quite lengthy process.

shapeshift.io is one site that is very reliable so if you want to changel cryptocurrency better to wait for their site active again or may conduct transactions in the exchanger reliable as they already mentioned above.

i think poloniex is better than bittrex, better at support, bigger volume trading, also more secure than bittrex, i see some people have issue with his bittrex acc.

I've been using bitterx but I really don't leave any coins there so not too worried about loosing coins.  I would always check shapeshift and bitterx and see which one had the better exchange rate and use it.  If you just want to get the trade done you can go with the current price and it's pretty close to using shapeshift just the extra step of initiating the exchange then withdrawing.  Still will be nice to have shapeshift back and I hope they add more coins.

i do it too in middle 2015, buying altcoin then withdraw to my altcoin wallet, but after i get big problem with altcoin wallet, i save my altcoin at exchanger.

my big problem is some altcoin wallet can't synced perfect, so i can't send my altcoin from dekstop wallet to exchanger. now im still have 120.000 clevercoin (CLV) and i can't send my CLV to c-cex market.
