I personally wouldn't recommend anyone use etherdelta if you using it for big amount of money use at your own risk, the site is extremely unstable, orders get stuck , sells gets stuck, buy orders get stuck and just vanish without a trace.... Nothing seem to ever work correctly. Owner of site has not fixed any of those issues. The platform is a traders nightmare...

Have tried to get some suggestion to use etherdeltaexchange site?I meant have you checked your gas amount? Does it reliable to make each transaction in etherdelta? And how long you are getting this problem?
Because the etherdelta is decentralized and the order list will be random. Someone be able to make very high price order and otherwise.
But i think that your problem was in your gas limit or amount. Have you tried to increase your gas before?
Please you can do that.

After ETH Byzantium hard fork Etherdelta works much better and faster. Try to increase gas limit.

Yes try to increase your gas limit. I had some problems with the site aswell but now I have increased the gas and everything works much better. The site is a bit slow but I think its because of the storm of new coins added on the exchange. Give it one more chance. I promiss that you will love the site.

I agree, the performance is just horrible. It seems to be better now, but it is probably the slowest web site I've ever seen.

Stick to the old ones like Polo, Trex, etc... 

Polo had its share of tough times but it has proven, time and time again, that it's still one of the best altcoin exchanges out there.  Lot's people claim that they were scammed, but they're coming from people who are new to crypto and got their withdrawals held simply due to technical difficulties.  It's just bad timing.

The UX is not ideal, but let's be realistic. This is a decentralized exchange: you control all funds and trade P2P directly on the blockchain via smart contract. I hope that this will be smoother in the coming years with more sophisticated DEXs being developed. But for the number of markets that Etherdelta has, it's about as good as it gets right now. Crypto-bridge has a really nice interface but hardly any markets or liquidity.

Personally, I've never had any major issues. Sometimes orders never show up on the book and I have to resubmit them, and sometimes it helps to refresh to see current order book, but that's about it.

etherdelta is a bad exchange, I traumatized trade there because their volume is very little and every coin that goes there it is certain the price will go down.

I agree with you, I also very rarely use etherdelta for the reasons always get interrupted and unstable unless I do it just because I have to. a few days ago i also had problems when will do withdraw from etherdelta to mew.

I don't think that it is unstable.. sometimes it works very slow, but i don't have any problems, and i use it very often.

I also think there is lots of work to be still done on the platform but for normal trades platform work smoothly however you can't make fast trades like in other centralized trading platform there. Talking about orders getting vanished in middle might be something related to block numbers you can set when opening up the buy/sell order. After that block number orders automatically got erased so that traders will not loss much during high price volatility, it is like stop order.

After Byzantium update I have started to use it regulary. Its solid.

I've had problems logging in at times, and it certainly isn't the most user-friendly trading site... but sometimes it is necessary to use it to trade in the more obscure coins that aren't listed elsewhere. I don't think it's too bad, just not as easy to use as bittrex etc.

I use it very regularly, many times a week.

I am happy so far, I don't find it slow at all.

Really will better ?

Etherdelta is realy the worst trade site, but if you want buy 'specified' coins you has to endure and be patient.

With etherdelta, you could make easily an error when you buy or sell à coin

There is for sure a learning curve using etherdelta. Once you figure it all out though it's not too bad. Increase the price and resubmit transaction again if it gets stuck. Just be careful and it works fine. I agree with others here too... Much faster after Byzantium update.

Never had a problem with etherdelta. Yes it gets slow a lot of times, guess you just have to increase that gas limit. With the huge amount of markets that etherdelta have, it still works good. If this is the only exchange where your coin is at now, then you just have to be patient.

If you want to make instant order try to increase gas price per transaction. Otherwise "first come first serve" rule works on decentralised exchanges. Etherdelta is good exchange and smart traders can make decent profit there.

I also had some problems with Etherdelta exchange. When you create some buy/ sell orders you never know are they fulfilled or not. Sometimes it takes hours to fulfill an order. I also had experience that I wanted to sell certain amount of coins, and they have sold only 1/100 of coins. I don't know how this is possible. When using Etherdelta you need to have great nervs  :) . So I keep using it only for buying/ selling small amounts. I also recommend you not to keep your coins at the exchange. You never know what can happen.

its take time especially when dealing with ED tokens having delayed and the site itself, I experience the same thing before but i already use to it,
always deal with platform that you already familiar with, so in case that those things happen you wont panic and just wait after your trade being
accomplished.

ED has to re-ammend their policies and make things strictier.its not advisable to list any token just any how.Atleast some background checks to determine the strength of the token will be useful.

I do not have sympathy in general for this exchange, it is not convenient, and tokens of which are still ico not traded

I am really surprised nobody launched a better version of EtherDelta yet. I mean their purpose is great, but the design, coin management and graphic interface are not their strongest suit.  The fees are also one of the things new platform needs to address.

I agree etherdelta as a concept is great but they need to upgrade their servers/software.  clearly it wasn't built to handle the current volume.

I was thinking about depositing some ethereum in etherdelta for trading and i heard it does have some issues , saw some users account got hacked too.
would love to hear some explanation about the preventive steps which we must use before using etherdelta .

Try token.store, pretty similar to etheredelta but they have a better UI, I was using it several times with metamask, worked smoothly.

I entered yesterday to look on etherdelta and the performance is very very low compared to another exchanges. Also so many alts there , so many of them are scams , it's hard to trust ehterdelta right now.

My problem in etherdelta is it is slow in loading and when left for a long time, eats a lot of memory. Also, it is still low in volume. But other than that, I do not have any other complains. I will still use it for new tokens that are not yet released on other exchanges.

I agree with your speculation, when I trade in etherdelta unstable sites. A lot of bad things, maybe this platform must have a developer. Because many traders use etherdelta.

Indeed, the Etherdelta platform has recently received a lot of criticism. For some time it was impossible to get into it at all, the computer showed an infinite load or was partially downloaded. ICO is currently developing an IDEX platform, which will be similar to etherdelta, with only higher bandwidth and the number of simultaneous transactions. I hope that the creation of this and other similar platforms will help us quickly and without problems to buy or sell tokens based on the etherium.

i have no issue with etherdelta, their is no restriction in withdrawal, the deposit is blazingly fast, the only problem with this is the trading history and trading chart. the other way how play with it is to open multiple tab for each trading pair. but for transaction wise all i could say it that is pretty fair, etherdelta doesn't steal your coins and it is the best choice for new erc20 tokens.

This exchange Etherdelta is actually good for new ETH-based coins. Many people are complaints about the site is unstable but it can be handled by se the gas fee. In my account set by changing the gas fee to 10. The transaction every transaction after changing it becomes faster.

Etherdelta is not a user-friendly exchange like Bittrex or others. It is mainly useful
to trade Ethereum tokens before those are listed on any major exchanges.  It is helpful
to watch some Youtube videos or read its reddit page to understand how to use it.

I never had problems using Etherdelta ever and usually I put more than the required amount on the gas limit to make sure the transaction goes smoothly and would not have any problems. How much gas limit do you put on the site anyways? Maybe that's one of the reasons why it is taking you slow to make those big transactions.

as long as i trade all coin in any exchange including etherdelta, i have never experienced it ,, have you been careful in trading allcoin in etherdelta? , and if you want your coin to sell fast ,, give higher blow to etherdelta

I am in favor of the main point of view, the platform experience is very bad, a lot of insecurity, do not recommend big money inside, very unsafe!
 ::) ::) ::) ::)

Before Ethereum's metropolis fork it was in a lot worse situation. Now, at least the orders work faster. The total amount of ERC20 coins will soon be hundereds of thousands. This obviously means that Etherdelta will became a home of shit coins. We can't expect it to be as good as standart coin exchange sites.

It takes a few attempts and a bit of gas to figure out how etherDelta works.  Weird things do happen from time to time, though, and it can be confusing navigating funds from the personal wallet to the etherDelta wallet at times ---> it seems there's a duel transaction in the works there that isn't obvious: tokens go to etherDelta contract from personal wallet, then they go to etherDelta wallet from etherDelta contract ---> so it's confusing at first to some.

I could have attended what you said a month ago. I even approve and I could even say more. but with the latest update and hardfork, the etherdelta certainly made good progress. it is no longer to the stucks  and disappearances that have been mentioned. Moreover, the system has been phenomenally accelerated and really is my favorite exchange market right now. moreover, it is the only place that can be taken very much below the price of  ico.

The main thing that many market buyers/sellers don't realize is that you need to grab orders off the book. This isn't like a centralized exchange where you can buy every order on the book up to a certain price with one order. I've seen people buy asks that are double the price at spread because they don't read the prompt when they market buy. They just instantly lost their money.

I think this is the biggest reason why people have such a bad experience with Etherdelta. But it must be this way, because each order on the book is itself a contract on the blockchain.

etherdelta is an exemple of a totaly decentralized exchange. there is no support and it's rarely updated!

if waves, 0X or binance wants to compete with bittrex or bitfinex, they must to work hardly!

From where do you get that kind of opinion  ? I've been using it for a month and a half now and it's solid really.
Had so many deposits, withdrawals, sells, and everything went through ! Not even a single transaction got stuck.

What do you mean by stuck anyway ? It's either a problem with the contract itself, or nothing. It's actually working great. I'm not saying it's perfect. The owners should actually make it a bit faster but other than that nothing.

It's a decentralized exchange and no bad has control over your funds and you can trade ANY erc-20 token that pops up. What more would you want from an exchange ?


What does that have to do with the exchange itself ? You're probably talking about airdropped coins. Surely the prices go down. They were created for insta sell. Plus saying that means you need to learn more about crypto.
Price goes down when people are selling and up when people buy. Will any exchange force the people to do something ???

I've been using it for about a month now and it's been an awesome experience. I lost lots of money in the BTC-e seizure (and previously in the Bitfinex hack). It's such a relief not keeping funds on a centralized exchange!

I've never had a "stuck" transaction. Maybe he meant a transaction to take an order that does not exist anymore (ETH transaction will be made but no contract execution). Or maybe they cancelled an order which still shows on the book -- this is usually a browser/cache issue and funds can be verified on the blockchain.

Haven't used EtherDelta a lot myself and I'm not planning on using it to trade huge amounts of money. You need to remember that this is a decentralized exchange so the exchange doesn't generate any revenue for developers. I am confident, however, that in the future volume and user friendliness will increase.

Thank you for your forewarning. I tried today and it was super stable. I bought and withdraw some alts and no problem. Yes it is working with other system, not like centralized exchanges, but it is P2P and it is also amazing!

The best exchange to manage big amounts of money is Poloniex and Bittrex, the only ones are just only to deposit upto 500 dollars and trade with that amount, if you invest more money you are putting yourself into a risk situation, maybe they can froze your account and you will never recover that money.
But at the moment all the exchanges are shitty ones, just look at novaexchange, it was one of the best and now it is closing in a few months.

Etherdelta does have a bit of learning curve to go through for new users but it works.
Big plus is availability of all the ERC-20 tokens, sometimes even before the ICO is finished.
With high gas setting, transactions times are quick.

Why are you trying to compare the etherdelta as the decentralized exchange site with a crap client like waves dex with so many problems?  Etherdelta is different with 0x, binance, or even bittrex nor poloniex.
As you can see about etherdelta is only the decentralized exchange which already gained a lot of interest by the users, If you have ever used it and i think that will be very easy to trade in there.
It seems a bit difficult for a newbie.

so true. in my opinion for new users. etherdelta is so complicated. I got confused when will deposit and lose some eth. which I am still confused is. why should deposit if you want to trade. the token is already in the account.

The first time that I used etherdelta exchange and I got confuse also and watch youtube on how to trade using this exchange, but this is good exchange for me now with more altcoins to trade.

but very helpful with etherdelta, for first after crowdsale ico many devlopher using etherdelta. stuck in transaction process does not affect  tokens value number. just only pay a small amount, gas a small scale, it's a not problem.

Im using it a weeks ago and it works smoothly to me, i think the reasons why your orders are stucked are when youre putting buy order the trader dont want your price same as to the sell order, when youre trying to buy or sell to the order list try to increase your gas because sometimes even you already sent the transaction if someone sent too who's gas is much bigger than yours he will get the order first. about the orders vanishing concerned increase your block expiration.

Last night my friends cannot withdraw from Etherdelta and when he want to sell he cannot sell and it gives stuck screen.

i have bad experience with etherdelta and i don't recommend people to trade in that site, its better to use another site or waiting the new site to trade. my experience is when i send the tokens, i am forgot to send the gas to make transaction and then i send the gas but in the end, i can not make any of transaction. i don't know when but until now, if i am trying to sell the tokens, i still can not make transaction. beside that, everytime i made transaction and failed, my gas is not come back to my balance but its disappear and i don't know where its going.

You are right about this, EtherDelta has a terrible infrastructure. Etherdelta will not use EtherDelta soon unless it does something good for itself. I hope they do something good for themselves.

Yes , I agree with you that this platform is not suitable at all for bidding, it's just suitable for selling most tokens

I like the platform, it has a lot of coins, everything is easy and clear + no need to register.

It is difficult for beginners to use it because it is not easy to use and there is no market sale, it can lose big money .. :o

Before in my opinion EtherDelta likely scam exchange all ICO there likely all dumping coin.
Yeah maybe that's place many bounty hunter come and quick sell there coin so price usually dumped.
But now I can use it very smooth and understand about it.
It's good and fast list exchange.
also transaction now much faster. My deposit just need about 5 mins

So far I just used it to trade some Ether tokens from airdops. The last one was the PoSToken and although the trade was slow, either depositing the token from my address into the exchange, and to actually trade it, everything went just fine. I heard some similar complains about stuck trades so I would use it with caution. The exchange itself it's not very intuitive, but once you get the hand of it, it gets easy to use.

Honestly I often trade in Etherdelta. However, I myself do not like the UI Etherdelta which is arguably lack of features. Small volume and the exchange which is limited to token to eth make ED less desirable trader. And unfortunately many coins that do not have the volume there.

I just recently started using etherdelta and it is a fine platform, it's decentralized so some of my order execution have resulted with a Bad Jump error.. probably because someone else also executed the same order just milliseconds before I did.. I lost the gas but then again where else can you trade your erc20 Airdroped tokens..

When does etherdelta avaliable on Android?

If you so disgusted by etherdelta use bitshare. I am using the both because bitshare is solid I like it, but etherdelta newer, modern maybe of course with some flaws.

And you always find the latest tokens there.

So some other person has noticed what I have been experiencing with that platform? It is really difficult to use that platform and every move you make there you pay a fee even if it is their fault because sometimes the platform will freeze. 

I admit that I heard a little bit about it and it really makes me feel very impressed, but I still think that nothing is able to stop the accelerated bitcoin and its phenomenal course.

I find I generally have no issues with it. And when orders get "stuck" or whatever it is usually my fault of having my coins in the wrong spot therefore of course an order cant execute. And you cant get that gas back so it is

unfortunate sometimes but you gotta eat the 10-20 cents you mess up on. I will say though however getting started was a bit harder than other websites and this is probably etherdeltas biggest downfall is the interface.

Etherdelta is a very buggy exchange with so many unnecessary protocols.
The first time I used it, my ETH got stuck in transfer from almost 12hrs.
It's just Very horrible, if you're new to trading, I would suggest you stay away from it.

Yes, Ethdelta is not very stable exchange, but unfortunately is the only way to trade ALL ethereum
 tokens.

In the starting I also used to think like you that time I was not much familiar with etherdelta now I am regularly using etherdelta without having any issue. I agree in the starting you would think its not a user friendly platform to use but when you understand how actually it works then you won't complaint. It takes some time to get familiar with etherdelta interface I believe so. Sometimes we need to increase the Gas limit to process the transaction fast but on the other hand it is the best Erc20 support exchange.

Trade can be much faster but you need to use higher gas prices. If you set the gas price as 1 or 2, you won't have any chance for faster transactions and trade. Afford higher tx fee and use always gas price around 6. This will help you a bit.

What the poster of this thread wrote has never been my experience on etherdelta! I have had large order that got filled and withdraw for less than $0.09! Etherdelta in my opinion is the best dex so far! If you don't learn how to use etherdelta well, you may regret it in future when government begin to take custody of your fund in centralized exchange! It is already happening! Bittrex recent drama come to mind in this regard!

agreed with you

It close 8-10 min ago. come back in 2-3 min so we feared :)

i really really dislike this exchange, its so slow and doesnt respond half the time. I have tried using the api given and thats even a worse nightmare. Really hope they cam fix there site up and soon becuase i have notcied quiet a bit of trade happening on it.
