Hi, guys! I'm thinking about moving to DEX and wanna know your opinion on trustful DEXes.

I like 0x and Bancor.

The most used DEX for me has been Crypto Bridge followed by Forkdelta. I don't get enough support with Forkdelta though but  Crypto Bridge guys have provided support assistance when I faced a few node connection errors. Which is pretty odd considering CB is so famous. To me, they're the gold standard in DEX.

There are some cooler DEXs around but they don't have enough (and many times any) volume at all. So I wouldn't even name them.

I have used IDEX and its very popular but it isn't fully decentralized as per research but I loved the experience I have on that exchange.

This list is a good compilation and probably you may like one of it: https://coinsutra.com/best-decentralized-exchanges-dex/

Don't forget there are also the peer-to-peer exchanges to look at, like Bisq. They probably can't compare in volume and yes, they take a lot of getting used to since you have to either wait for a good offer or make your own and hope someone with enough money takes it all.

But! They can be more decentralised than all these DEXs mentioned here. Nothing is perfect but if you don't start supporting them, they won't be motivated to improve...

I have used two dex before. Etherdelta and idex. I was very new to crypto then when I make use of etherdelta and I enjoyed my trading there. Although fees and minimum amount of ETH in the wallet can be as high as 0.02eth. Idex is the second exchange I have used before. It was a bad experience. All the token listed have minimum cap before you can trade. If you have below the cap, your trading won't be successful.

While Bisq is definitely not 100% decentralized, it's still the best among the alternatives in my opinion. It's completely understandable how you access the Bisq exchange using a software instead of a website, but unfortunately this might be one of the reasons why a very small number of people use it. Liquidity and trading volume is really really bad though, but I think this will increase with time as exchanges get more regulated and as people look for more non-custodial alternatives to centralized exchanges.

There are many DEX or decentralized exchange where you can exchange your tokens. We have Idex, Bisq, Waves Dex, Cryptobridge, Radar Delay,Stellar, Barter Dex and many more. Among those I have mentioned Idex is the mos popular and the most used I have not encountered problems exchanging my tokens in that site. Other sites are also good since I am reading their reviews. I am also waves dex but I do not use it rarely.

Etherdelta is the decentralized exchange that I've used for a long. It has got a large number of tokens listed. There is not much of volume which makes it hard for trade get accomplished. The way the exchange function is good, and for some reason it requires certain level of knowledge than using a centralized exchange.

Forkdelta and Etherdelta

So far, I've only used Etherdelta and Forkdelta. And I had no problems. I don't think the Binance DEX is very decentralized. You have to buy BNB and it is very difficult to stay decentralized while doing so.

Etherdelta is my most used exchange in the past. Though now I've heavily limited myself to a selected number of coins and CEX.
Binance DEX is a decentralized exchange, even for any other DEX, you need to have one base currency or other. Binance on the other hand provides the option to pay the fees in transacting coin for many popular currencies.

My first ever DEX i have used and trade was ForkDelta. At first i have a hard time using it, good thing my friend guided me with the steps and became handful at long run. Though that DEX also considered a dumped site for people wanted to sell cheap price still it's one of the best DEX there is in my opinion.

Etherdelta, Forkdelta and Idex are my favorite DEX exchanges, but of the three exchanges IDEX is the one I use most often to trade.  And now I start trading at Binance DEX, I think this is the DEX Exchange which will be the next favorite of many people.

Currently none! I used to use IDEX but it turns out that it isn't DEX at all lol. I use Waves DEX sometimes, Also going to try / use AtomicDEX (Whenever it's available). AtomicDEX seems promising, One can trade/swap between multiple chains.

Are LocalEthereum.com and local.Bitcoin.com considered as DEX?

DEX: DEcentralized eXchange

Both LocalEthereum, local.bitcoin.com, and other similar services are far from being decentralized, but they're peer-to-peer which is a plus. local.bitcoin.com is for bitcoin cash(BCH) though not bitcoin(BTC).

I have used Etherdelta and Bisq successfully in the past(Don't use them a lot these days) and I have had a good experience with both of them though Etherdelta's UI is really annoying and laggy though it gets the job done.

On the other hand, Bisq has a much better UI in comparison, but the liquidity issues contribute to slow execution of orders which is why I only use it when I am prepared to wait for a long time.

You should be trying Binance DEX sometimes. You would probably like it more than the bancor or iDEX as I can see there is a good volume to this DEX. Some of the coins in binance dex though are just in the most centralized DEX. The DEX need not promotion so I guess all those who have tried binance also learned about their own DEX.

Using up in the past into recent.

~ForkDelta
~IDEX

and now Ive been using Binance Dex it depends where my coins is being traded up.

You should try
- Bisq: https://bisq.network/
- BitShares:
https://bitshares.org/
-Kyber Network 
https://kyberswap.com/swap/eth-dai
Folkdelta etc.
They work well for me.

There are few others I really like but am not sure if I should share them now.

You could go though this link for more DEXes: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5103776.0

Forkdelta and ether have been my most used Dex but I'm sure a number of others will make a good try

I visit decentralized exchanges to purchase potential coins at very cheap prices and in my search i think IDEX is the best decentralized place to trade. Forkdelta might be popular might be popular in the cryptospace but their log books really take time in order to load and some decentralized exchanges also are full of wash trades and bots. No real volumes but fake ones. IDEX is good to trade and y'all can try it out.

I'll never forget FD and this is the first exchange I've used and I've learned a lot for there. FD did well and almost all coins are listed in there but considering its market volume and prices, it seems to be at very low and only a few traders are using this by now. Market volume is very important where we can see high prices which aren't be found in FD but its performance has no issues for me.

Usually, I use Bitsquare because bitsquare rely on a decentralized multi-signature escrow system to ensure that all trades are conducted transparently.

the first time I started to recognize crypto, obviously what I used was etherdelta because of its convenience and of course it's cheap, but now rarely use it because there are already too many who join there so sometimes it's a bit slow. I currently use livecoin and hitbtc. which might be best for me and not necessarily for you, because all the factors accustomed to using just the difference.

But, AFAIK, neither of these two are custodian exchange either, means they dont hold our crypto.

idex, bancor, stellarport, stellarterm, waves dex, newdex, dexeos, whalex (eos)

I hope to see yet some interoperable system for stellar/eos/trx/eth/btc... :P

So far, I only use Idex and don't use the other DEX because I feel it's too confusing to me. I don't know why I like the interface of the Idex, and that makes me stay for a long time. Besides that, I don't have any problem to trade in the Idex, and I feel comfortable and satisfy to stay in those exchanges. But I want to try the other dex so I can have another experience of using the DEX and I can compare between the Idex.

more precisely I like to exchange idex and also bancor , and I have experienced it myself, the transaction is fast safe and comfortable that's why I prefer to choose that exchange

Wait for the Binance DEX they will be launching soon I guess.

You can see what they got by their name itself biggest centralized exchange is going to rule the decentralized platform as well.

Well, try to use bancor, coinexchange, Idex and Stellarport, its up to you in which of them you feel is good for you.
But so far coinexchange and Bancor are the good one to use in actually. And those platform I never seen them face any issues
before regarding their services as well.

I like Bancor and i also like idex because of their smooth user interface,  but idex announced of recent od their plan to start requesting for KYC of their users, which is highly against the concept of decentraliztion.  I think i will have to look for another Dex to use because i cant do any KYC on idex

KYC at Idex is not a problem because they only require basic information and each day you can withdraw more than 5000$ at this exchange if you complete those information. I joined KYC and didn't take too much time on this issue so this is still a decentralized exchange that I will still use in the future because everything in this exchange is great and I can easily sell any coin in Idex

If you just want to trade and would not go over 2BTC then you could still use Binance.
I guess that is already a large amount.
You wont need to go through KYC for withdrawal with that.
I havent went over that limit so I dont really know if it is a monthly limit or just daily.
It would have been better if it will be daily though.  ;D

There are a lot of DEX out there, but your problem would be the lack of orders.

Before I used Idex, but now I shifted to coinexchange, Bancor, Mercatox and Metamorp also Stellar and Waves sometimes.
But I never use Etherdelta or Forkdelta unless if the coins listed to it I have no choice but to use for the sake of profit that I need
to sell it to etherdelta.

Liquidity and trading volume will definitely improve when the DEX becomes more easy to use or accessible on multiple platforms. They probably need to redesign the platform to incentivize and bring in liquidity providers. 
It is still one of the most decentralized exchanges so far.

I always use centralized exchange because a lot of my coins came from bounties are listed in CEx before I withdraw. But when I am buying altcoin, I supposedly buy in DEX like idex and forkdellta. I buy in Dex because the price it too much lower compared in centralized exchange. In addition, the fee is lower also. And I sell them in centralized exchange. I trust only idex and forkdellta in terms of DEX

Only used DEX twice when I sold my token and never tried to do it again. I still trust centralized exchange who don’t require any KYC because they are on top and they do an amazing platform for us to trade safely just like Binance. Centralized exchange is not that risky, just choose the best among the rest.

Idex is still my favorite choice and the KYC problem is not an important issue in this exchange because they just want to give investors the best security. For me, security is essential at all exchanges because if you don't do KYC, many scammers can sell any coins they hacked. I still trust Idex because it is the largest decentralized exchange in the US and has good liquidity

Not get any problem yer with IDEX, but for update, we should make an account there, don't know it actually for what, but after make account, we can import our private key there. Double Job to do. But in any DEX exchange that make us to import our private keys, it is better to make new wallet and not use our main wallet.

etherdelta and idex, but seems that etherdelta is down now

IDEX, I have been using this exchange until now and I never had any problem with the site, just be aware that the risk of getting phish is high since you need to put your private key to access your account and to trade. Same procedure with Etherdelta and Forkdelta but since IDEX has a better volume, I use it most of the time. 

Better convenience is not equal to better security!

We can use the trusted centralized exchange due to better trading experience,high trading volume and support if there is any issue but decentralized exchange is important for us in the future.

I do think you should stop using Etherdelta because they simply suck and can't compete with other exchanges now. Forkdelta is probably the same. Bancor is better than them but they have limited tokens to trade.

I stop using Etherdelta because their UX is terrible for me, and then stick with IDEX. If they start requiring a user to do KYC then I'll probably use Airswap or Changelly if that's still a good option.

If you use IDEX exchange with Ledger, then your property will be much safer because this is the safest way to protect your property so far. I always protect my assets when participating in decentralized exchanges because if not careful it will be very dangerous for your property and can lose everything if the hacker knows your private key. Now this crypto market has a lot of big risks and if you have a lot of money, buy Ledger to secure your assets in the safest way.

It is quite risk to invite DEX because I have to enter the private key to be careful about it because if use the wrong DEX website, I can lose all assets in my wallet sometimes I use forkdelta to sell hunting tokens that are not registered in a centralized exchange

bancor, tokenjar, forkdelta and tokenstore, and the DEX I use most often is forkdelta, sometimes I use IDEX too but there are things that until now I still don't like from IDEX that is the minimum deposit, minimum ETH withdrawal and their latest policy "KYC".  if IDEX wants to remove this three things that don't make me comfortable, IDEX is the one I use most often.

That is why we should have to check the site carefully before we enter our keys. Phishing sites are something trolling around and might catch us due to our own negligence.
IDEX and Forkdelta are quite known at this time, and I will use them when I check my coins from bounties. They are a friendly user and ain't no problem with these exchanges since  the day I've used it.

Forkdelta and IDEX are the two largest decentralized exchanges in this market and the trading volume of these two exchanges is always average, so sometimes there will be many difficulties in liquidity. Currently the demand for investment in Dex exchanges is growing very high in the last 3 months and if it is possible to increase the transaction volume to $100 million a day, surely the future of decentralized exchanges will be very good for all investors

It has never crossed my mind really to use dex exchange because I feel that they lack the volume that is needed to trade and would not want a situation whereby my trade will be delayed in the market for too long before it is executed, but lately, I think that dexes is beginning to gain more popularity, so we should expect dex exchanges to begging to grow in volume as it should be.

If I am to consider any dex exchange, it would still be that of Binance, I prefer Binance exchange not for anything but for the volume I feel they will have since Binance already has a reputation down already and I feel that their dex exchange will be a little bit more secured than the rest of dexes, another dex I have been hearing of its popularity is okex I think, seems it will be reliable.

I like idex, Idex already made many profits to me. But now, I rarely trade on dex exchange.

I used to trade in IDEX and EtherDelta sometime back and during those times the volumes were low in some of the coins but i still liked trading in those platform until the big news of decentralized EtherDelta got hacked, i was confused on how a decentralized exchange got hacked at that time and then there was IDEX blocking users from NY, if they can do that it is not truly decentralized as they claim to be and then i never visited them after that, right now i am not sure which is a good DEX exchange.

It's nice to hear that you are transfering your funds to DEX. Many people don't like DEX, but for me, I like DEX. Because DEX is also secured exchange the only disadvantage of it is only small peope who will use it but I know Decentralized Exchange that has bigger volume, I recommend IDEX exchange.

Whats so nice about it? You did said that majority dislikes dex and i agree with that because i also see thier complaints about dex  . however i see that you  and the op are now starting to love dex . you not alone with that because im also a fan of dex .

i have been using dex more than i use cex  in terms of token/altcoin trades  but i have never use idex  but i hear that idex is also a popular dex thesedays  same as with binance dex that is also making a name but im still a die hard user of forkedelta and etherdelta because this is where i start and grow .

I most prefer to use Idex platform because it is very convenient for me to exchange the coins, but most of the time they are listing very few coins in their exchange. I find it more convenient with the Idex platform because the transaction confirmation is very fast.

I tried this new exchange (ViteX) recently. They are relatively new, but I think I like the team. They have only basic tokens listed for now and their own token. The public can also apply for token listing. Generally, I'd pick a DEX over a CEX anyday.

Just use the old and tested which is IDEX, I've used it many times when ETH tokens are still valuable but until now, I haven't read complains about this site, so I think they were able to keep their good reputation and maybe they will be back in more action once ETH will recover as it's tokens will surely follow.

At the moment I use only two DEX exchanges. These are Idex and ForkDelta.
Idex is one of the best decentralized exchanges I have ever worked for. It, like everyone else, has its drawbacks, but for a decentralized exchange, it is excusable.
I think everyone knows about ForkDelta and its reputation.

Polonex is my favorite and Bitmex which I use aften for my daily trades. But sometimes I trade on centralized exchange platform's but not often as I do with the decentralized platform's. Basically the reason in use the decentralized platform's is to save with my coins in the exchange as hacks are common with centralized platforms.

Okex and Binance dex is really a great dex, but I still don’t want to completely agree that they are dex because I do not believe they will create an exchange that will fully be decentralized without much of their involvement in it.

Although those exchangesare sweet and the best for now, but we still need to be careful when we use them, I wish satoshi had created a dex exchange too before he left the crypto to people, we would have trusted his own dex exchange the more, as you can see that there is no exchange that is actually much trustworthy from what a mate above you said about ether delta and the other one, so they are birds of the same feather then with centralized exchanges.

Of course Binance is the most good dex to use now, then Idex, coinexchange and Bitmex also.
These are the good platform on which I knew it will be a good start for the beginner here in crypto industry.
and don't use etherdelta and Waves platform, my piece of advise only.

SwitchDex is one of the only privacy focused DEX in the market, constantly evolving and they just announced an update of New UI, tornado.cash integration, gas-free order cancellations, ideal conditions for bots and a downloadable version. All of this while still maintaining their complete privacy stand, actually the new tornado.cash integration would make it the most private dex out there imo.

Check SwitchDex.ag (http://SwitchDex.ag)
The update - https://medium.com/@switchag/switch-switchdex-exiled-documentary-update-a714a1e5a1ee

I have experienced IDEX, SWITCHEO, and KHYBER.  All of these are worthy of your DEX experimentation. They work.

There are still non-dex exchanges that do not require time wasting KYC requirements, but they are getting fewer.

i am still hanging on with ether-flyer and ether delta. i had a recent scam was made with ether delta. where it was rumored that it was sold to a Chinese firm for business, i am yet to confirm the authenticity of this story but both dex remains my best in decentralized exchange.

I have been using beaXchange for a while now. Some of the things that I like about this decentralized exchange include its zero fees, high liquidity and an easy-to-use interface.

There are many different DEXs, but for example for Ethereum-based tokens I use: forkdelta.app and for TRON-based tokens: tronwatch.market
There are many different tokens on these exchanges, so you can always sell or buy something. But you need to remember that on DEXs trading volumes do not always allow you to quickly buy or sell tokens at the price that will satisfy you and have to wait.
