Hi, can someone tell me about exchanges of crypto currency (btc+altcoins)?  ???

you can trade bitcoins and altcoins on various sites like Btc-e.com (bitcoin+alt coins), mintpal.com (alt coins) , bittrex.com (alt coins) these are the best sites available.

BTC-E is probably the best one for BTC + Alt coins (trustworthy ones that is) however their security isn't the best and when I say that I mean it's based on your security no theirs (if you get hacked there's no 2 factor auth or confirmation e-mail requests).

If you're purely doing BTC then I suggest bitstamp, cointree or Volabit (if Barry Silbert approves than so do I)

All of them are reachable online. You can deposit BTC or alt coins, and exchange them using a fee. You can usually exchange BTC, LTC, PPC, USD and some others. They have different levels of security, some have two factor authentication. Sometimes an account gets hacked, so security is very important.

I prefer btc-e for both btc+altcoins sometimes Cryptsy or indacoin.

Please avoid keeping your bitcoins on exchanges or other online wallets. :)

BTC-E is a decent exchange for btc, when trading alts I usually go for either Cryptsy or Bittrex. There are lots of other smaller exchanges you could try but personally I would just use the larger exchanges as they are less likely to be hacked etc

Have you tried Poloniex?
It's fast and easy to use, recently the have added the new stellar coin.

I think most of people now use Bittrex.com to trade altcoins. It's one of the top altcoin exchange right now.

But for BTC, Altcoin and Fiat exchanges site, i would prefer BTC-e.com

I'm using Poloniex since months and I have never had any issue, it's the best exchange in my opinion!

Yes Poloniex is great and has a nice dev but also Bittrex is one of the most interesting exchanges.
I'm also registered in Mintpal, the design is simple but smart, I would advice you to try all of them and then choose your preferred.

Try Mintpal is pretty easy to use.

Cryptsy was the one I used first I learned there, do not risk any fiat if you are new.

BTC-E is located in russia i think. So it's kinda risky to trade there.

Owners say its located in bulgaria as for being risky if i was to choose between a new exchange and btc-e i would rather go for btc-e as its been around since 2011.

I also use it and i have never had issues with them, so far.

I use cryptsy, it is very stable and trustworthy.

There are different types of exchanges.
Some like Bitstamp allow users to make btc/fiat trades, some like Cryptsy allows users to make altcoins/btc trades, some like localbitcoins provide a platform for users to make peer-to-peer trades.

The most usefull post. Thanks for that.

Hi,

I would like to ask, is there anything that has been analysing this coin?

Can be this coin survive for long time enough as like bitcoin?.
 
I just make sure that to earn money from this does not wasting my time, thanks  ;D

You can use ANXPRO (http://tinyurl.com/p6weqml) is located in hong kong and can issue bitcoin debit cards and is giving away 1 litecoin for registration.

Biggest exchanges now is all more or less stable, noone is so horrible like gox was.

BTC-e.com  ;)

There are a bunch of them.  You should do research on a bunch of the big ones and see which looks safest to you.  For instance I know BTC-e has been around but it's not in an English speaking country and I always have trouble with what they're trying to communicate so I worry that one will go belly up at some point.

Yes, i hear about mtgox fail. But not every exchange will repeat gox story. I hope it.

I suggest bittrex. By far they have the most altcoins and the volume is highest among the exchange site..

HI I am currently in Dubai any online exchange from where I can buy bit coins online??

I haven't heard of any local exchanges there, but you can use big global exchanges like bitstamp and btc-e, or arrange some p2p trades with localbitcoins.

hi
any Exchange accept paypal or us$  ???
thanks

For paypal, you can use Virwox https://www.virwox.com/. The fee is pretty high, but it works.

For USD, you mean wire transfers? If so, almost all exchanges accept USD wire transfers.

for trade altcoins  i use bittrex.com and poloniex, i think most of people use it
and for BTC, Altcoin and Fiat exchanges site, I recommend BTC-e.com

I suggest you use Bitstamp.net it is trustworthy and their UI is decent plus they have customer support that will answer your questions within 24-48 hours and speak ENGLISH instead of translators.

But never make a mistake of storing BTC on an exchange.

Here is a guide to help new users verify authenticity of file download from internet, installing offline wallet and broadcasting transactions online without ever revealing private key(s) with pictures:
http://www.btcguys.us/blog/how-to-create-offline-wallet-with-electrum-bitcoin-client-and-broadcast-transactions

it is best practice to read about common frauds/scams related to BTC on bitcointalk before getting into BTC

Altcoins bittrex and mintpal. For new coins also c-cex, for SEPA transfers kraken.com.

Poloniex always adds the new coins faster than most exchanges and has nice volume.

Watch out with them. i lost lots of money on Mt Gox and coinmartket in the past. You are warned.

For altcoin exchanges, I believe Cryptsy is the biggest and most popular one out there.
For bitcoin exchanges, you may try Btc-e, Bitstamp, Coinbase (if you are in US) and Localbitcoins (if you want to do it p2p).

poloniex don't support btc/usd
just altcoin

An exchange is where you exchange a currency for another currency.

OP wants to know about both bitcoin and altcoin exchanges.

As an altcoin exchange, Poloniex is not bad at all IMHO.

Yeah, owned by Russians, located in Bulgaria, business banks in Cyprus or something...shady guys if you ask me  ;D

And unlike Bitstamp and the dead Mtgox, no one ever know who the owners of btc-e are.
So yup, it is shady but it is still working well at this moment. :)

A friend of mine "forced" me to use TheRockTrading as my first online wallet and exchange but I don't think that it's one of the most trusted here.

Check out Bitstamp or Poloniex, btw you would better store your coins in a local wallet.

If you are in Europe then you should check out Justcoin.com, based in Norway, their fee % starts at 0.5% and decreases with each trade and does not reset each month based on volume unlike Bitstamp.

I recommend Poloniex

I am just curious to know why your friend "forced" you to use TheRockTrading, if it's not one of the most trusted here.

And while we are here, would also love to know why it's not one of the most trusted :-)

/paci (from therocktrading.com)

Go for bittrex for alt-coin and btc-e for bitcoin... both are trusted site.

Every cryptocurrency exchanges have streangths and weaknesses. Best cryptocurrency exchanges are as follows.

1. Cex.io, London, UK
2. Cryptsy Florida, USA
3. Coinnext, Malta
4. Coins-e, Calif., USA
5. Bter, China
6. BTC-e, Bulgaria
7.Vircurex, Beijing, China

Thank You Very Much

Good list  ;)

But I think you miss Bittrex, Poloniex or even Mintpal for altcoin trading.

Poloniex is one of the best because of its dev, Busoni.
He could have escaped with tons of coins when an hacker attacked the website but he covered all the losses.

BTC-e is my favourite, never had an issue with their website.

i would definetly recommend btc-e, used them for years, and never a single problem that wasnt handled properly

on their side. if ure looking into altcoin, take a look on cryptsy or bittrex, but i dont realy like either of them due to

some deposit/withdraw problems they allways have when a certain coin is pumped.

You mean the hack in March that caused the site to lose 12.3% of its bitcoin?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=499580.0
http://www.coindesk.com/poloniex-loses-12-3-bitcoins-latest-bitcoin-exchange-hack/

IIRC, it raised the trading fee temporarily to generate bitcoin to pay its customers back. :)

That was great, I'm also using Poloniex for most of my trades.

BTC-e is the best

I have never used BTC-e but between the two exchanges that I have tried (Poloniex - Mintpal) I prefer the first.

btc-e is very good, but you can only trade a few altcoins there.
If you want to trade less popular altcoins, you can use Cryptsy and Poloniex.

I use cryptsy, it is very stable and trustworthy

Bitfinex is good... but if you want to trade alt-coin then mintpal.

Just remember to never store your bitcoins on the exchange more than it is absolutely necessary. Exchanges routinely loose users' funds.

Bittrex is number one in altcoins, than MintPal and Poloniex. 

C-Cex, Bittrex then poloniex for me just for the issues db issues that bittrex had last night can't even login.

Bittrex is still the number one, but I then like Poloniex more than Mintpal.

It is because I feel a bit more safe to deposit my funds to Poloniex. My confidence on Mintpal is less than before, mainly after its recent hack.

To be honest, I know little about altcoin exchanges. But I thought Cryptsy is the biggest and most popular altcoin exchange or has the spot been taken already?

Actually few months ago mintpal was more popular then cryptsy, but then somebody hacked into mintpal and it is not so popular now.
Anyway I think cryptsy is here for a long time, but sometimes is very laggy and slow, so I prefer bittrex over cryptsy.

I assume they are ranking the exchanges by user experience rather than popularity.

According to http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/markets/info, Cryptsy has a higher trade volume than Bittrex with Mintpal and Poloniex following.

Depends on a day. It were days when mintpal had 5k+ BTC volume (actually I meant that with popularity) but cryptsy only 2k etc... So that days mintpal had constantly each day higher volume than cryptsy.
So wherever whales move there is the highest volume.

for trade altcoins  i use bittrex.com and poloniex, i think most of people use it
and for BTC, Altcoin and Fiat exchanges site, I recommend BTC-e.com

Altcoins bittrex and mintpal. For new coins also c-cex, for SEPA transfers kraken.com.

I'm using cryptsy and btc-e. No issues whatsoever over the past few months.

I currently using btc-e.com for trading. I been using them for years with no problem so far.

They are still my favorite after all this time. Good trade engine, fast, no lag. No rolling back trades when price diverges from the market. Never had any issues either. That said, I also trade on Okcoin and Bitfinex.

For alt-coin exchanges I think bittrex is pretty good. Cryptsy is very annoying and not reliable in alt-coin withdrawals (once a doge withdrawal of just 10000 took more than a day).

I use btc-e for bitcoin trading as I don't need to do ID verification and it works great.
I am not very interested in altcoin trading, and have not much info on altcoin exchanges.

Cryptsy is still a key player, especially for older coins. The main problem of Cryptsy now is that they list new coins much slower than Bittrex. That's why Bittrex is getting more and more trading volumes.

I'd say Cryptsy is still good for older coins, but for trading newer coins Bittrex is clearly taking the lead.

Cryptsy, Poloniex, Mintpal, thats all you need to use to be honest.
Bitstamp if you want FIAT/BTC.
