cryptoket.io or changenow.io ? Which one is the better? Shapeshift is not goodd.

I used cryptoket.io many times. Their rates are good

Shapeshift is one of the most trusted anonymous exchanger but I don't know why you are saying it is not good? because of the high fee or low rates?

If you really concern about the fee then you might go for an exchange like Binance to have much better price.

binance and shapeshift is very expensive for miner fee :(

cryptoket.io looks legit. any recommendation ?

I think you're just trying to promote them.  :D Saw you last time claiming the free $5 they are offering for anyone who will try out an exchange.
They are a new exchange so I wouldn't trust them si much.

If you want an established and well known exchange like shapeshift you can use:
Faast
Kyber
Bancor

Your choices cryptoket.io and changenow.io I don't have an experience with those.

Can you give the reason why you don't want shapeshift? why its not good in your opinion? There is kucoin, binance, coinmama and other exchanges that are popular with good volume.

If you try to to read above your post this isnt really a inquiry but rather a promotion into those sites he do mention. I dont even see a reason why Shapeshift isnt good in his own taste and choose up among 2 options which arent popular on most people.  I'll rather choose https://changelly.com/ since we are talking about swap sites.

I'm looking for small fee transferring to my small wallet

Yeah I didn't figured it out early that he just want to endorse those two but he replied that he's looking for low withdrawal fees.

Nice info. Thanks

Shapeshift is not a trustworthy service. There always have been reports about locked transfers. Avoid at all cost.

Looks like only stomachgrowls was the one who actually offered an alternative that was similar to shapeshift (changelly). Every post almost doesn't seem to understand the user wants something that is instant, that you don't need to register for and all that.

My other alternative I know of is https://n.exchange/ I think it is based in the UK. Tried it, very fast, but it was only for small amounts of Ether and Litecoin to Bitcoin. I think they only had a handful of choices at the time but must surely offer more now.

Personally, I think shapeshift is a very good exchange as it is safe, reliable and secure but if you think you want another exchange like the ones you listed, I think it will be better if you research on their potentials before you use any of them.

I bought some eth in shapeshift before and I waited for too long and when I reload their page it didn't change. I saw that my payment had already received in their site but nothing happened. So yeah just avoid using it and try alternative and good thing we have our local wallet that can buy some eth.

By the way, is changelly and shapeshift is the same? As I believe they're not. I use changelly oftern now and it's good.

ShapeShift , a leading crypto exchange platform made an announcement that they have introduced a “ShapeShift Membership Program” and KYC thereafter. As Shapeshift is asking it's user to register and KYC, many users are looking for Shapeshift alternatives (https://coinswitch.co/news/best-shapeshift-alternative-coinswitch).

There are many other exchanges which do not ask the user for account and KYC like Changelly, Changer, ChangeNow and CoinSwitch. I personally used Coinswitch exchange which is an aggregator of all these exchanges. Without providing the personal information's, one can trade seamlessly at the best rate.

With such transition then I doubt Shapeshifts popularity or usage would really decreased due to that KYC compliance for its users.There are lots of alternatives which you had mentioned which doesn't have those requirements and most people do prefer it out but sooner or later these kind of services will really follow the same path where government do already need for them to comply such laws.

Erik Voorhees created Shapeshift in 2013. Its main selling point is that it is a crypto-to-crypto exchange. On this exchange, you cannot but crypto using fiat. Currently, users can swap about 50 different crypto coins.
