Whats the most trustworthy instant crypto-to-crypto exchange at the moment, are shapeshift, changelly any good still ?

Bittrex also one of the best exchange to crypto to crypto but what I know is they are closed currently for the new signups. I'm using this exchange for a quite some time and never had any issues and their fee also not that high. I didn't use both shapeshift and changelly so far hence don't know about these two exchanges.

I think you can also try Binance exchange also and I believe there you can still open a new account to trade.

Binance exchange is one of the best sites that offers you that service.
Since you want to exchange Crypto-to-Crypto, I think converting to unknown cryptocurrencies is a lousy option, so I advise you to use shapeshift.
Exodus is one of the best tools, but you have limited altcoins and uncontrolled fees.

If you are looking for instant crypto-to-crypto exchanges, neither shapeshift nor changelly are really instant. I've had some experience with shapeshift in the past. You may have to wait several hours or more, depending on the current circumstances. I don't know what the situation is now, but there were times when a single transaction could take days to be realized.

I recommend like you to use descentralized exchanges not one centralised . The risk for hacking a centralised than one descentralized is bigger . Also i recommend you to use kyber network and etherdelta

Why shaftshift and changelly alone mate. There are n number of trading and exchanges available in online bro, you will be able to get the trade faster with all the exchange if you go with the same price you are seeing the trading site.
If you want to get the more cost than the amount you see on the trading site then only you need to wait for the price to reach or someone to accept the trading you have opened. This is it so do not worry about any exchange.

Yes there is no doubt that bittrex is the one of the best exchange but they have some issues, some users are saying that their funds are missed there and on some exchanges too. I suggest you poloniex and kucoin these are also good otherwise you can google about user reviews for exchanges.

OP is looking for an instant exchange or a service that is no hassle when exchanging crypto to crypto like Shapeshift as a good example. No signups, no verification, just a quick exchange and not the usual trading platform everyone is suggesting here.

But to OP, you will have a better exchange rate at trading platforms than using a service you like. Well I understand that you might have your own reason for finding so.

Well Shapeshift is still working as we speaks and for being trustworthy, it depend on those people who uses it. Recently, one of my friends used Shapeshift (BTC to ETH) and the unusual thing happened, delays for about 5 to 6 hours IIRC. But still at the end, it works. It's just that we are not used to experienced a delay using Shapeshift's service. It's now up to you if you still want to used it and face the risks, as always even on a trading platform service.

It isn't an exchange but the Exodus wallet allows you to trade between the cryptos that are present there. Last I knew they had BTC, ETH, REP, DASH, DCR, EOS, LTC, and SALT but again this isn't every crypto but a few major ones.

I don't think any exchange providing instant trnsactions as far as I vae used it takes few minutes to covert bitcoins into others but in most of the exchange converting other coins into bitcoins almost instant.But shapeshift is not instant it takes few hours and the prices are also ot great in there.

Most major commercial sites allow the crypto transformation of the way the operation and time are different so investors need to grasp the way the initial implementation to avoid errors that can lead to loss of coins.

The best exchanges on which you can instantly exchange one crypto currency for another are Bitfinex, Poloniex and of course Kucoin. Was glad to help.

Although Exodus is instant the exchange rate is very poor.

You didn't help, because the question was about "instant exchanges" which there are only two of that I know, and OP mentioned both of them.

I like both Changelly and Shapeshift, but I can't use the latter because I'm a US resident.  And Changelly doesn't support Dash anymore, which is one of the coins I buy when I buy any at all, so I haven't used them in a while.  I heard that there was some sort of "maintenance" going on with something regarding Dash, but it's been going on for quite a while and never was clear what the issue was anyway.  Gotta love the complete lack of transparency at these places.

Other than that, they're both pretty good services IMO.  Never had a problem with either one of them, and it beats using an exchange.
These two exchanges both basically do the same thing, and they do it pretty well, so a rational person would probably just pick the one with the lower expense.  I think there's some variation in coin offerings, but if both offer the one you want, just go with the cheaper option.

I'm aware of Changelly but haven't test it out to use their service because I do always end up on using Shapeshift when it comes to direct conversion and the thing I do like with these sites is the convenience that it gives just up up asked informations in a matter of seconds then viola exchange done but somehow when it comes to Fees they are little bit higher compared to exchangers.

Its because Exodus uses Shapeshift (built-in) as well. But the fees are somewhat expensive in my opinion. Tried it once, not happy with the result so I moved to Changelly. Been using it for a while now and so far I'm satisfied. Maybe you want to read about their comparison here: (https://www.profitconfidential.com/cryptocurrency-exchanges/changelly/changelly-exchange-review-is-changelly-better-than-shapeshift/)

I have head about shapeshift and have used it twice but the fee is high but the service is good you can try that one.
Bittrex is a good option too.

I think all crypto exchange that offer function buy and sell by market price is make possible to exchange crypto by instant. Some of these exchange is Binance, Huobi and Bitfinex. And others exchange usually only provide buy and sell crypto by limit order.

Hello! Our team added Dash back several weeks ago. The maintenance was related to our wallet updates.

Also, we'd like to thank you for the feedback regarding our services. Appreciate it!

I recommend you Changelly and Shapeshift. Both have a very clear user-interface and the processing speed of both is really good. Shapeshift doesn't use accounts but Changelly does. Both Changelly and Shapeshift have very strong security. Because user funds are never kept on the exchange, it is difficult for their funds to be stolen. You can use both of them with complacency but my heart is more close to the shapeshift :) I don't know why.
