Title: Exchange Recommendations for selling BTC [to GBP]
Post by: Lethos on July 12, 2012, 02:25:39 PM
Is their a list I've just not found yet, that lists all the exchanges that happily work in GBP (Local currency in United kingdom) and more ideally have a presence here so not to be screwed on unnecessary bank fees.

I'm only aware of two and while both are well established, don't exactly have an ideal track record to trust them. Does one just accept thats whom I have to deal with? or is their other options?

Their is only 2 that really natively trade in GBP, both have had a mixture of problems with their site, customer support issues and comprises since their start. I did not want to name them, at the end of the day, I was kinda hoping they and others would at least be interested in promoting their services in my thread. They are some of the oldest in the business and yes they are bound to have issues from time to time. But my paranoia tends to get in the way a lot, when it comes to trust others with my money.

I don't mind stock my coins for a while, I do want to feel comfortable trading. I've seen what happens when people trust a company too much with their money and bitcoins. Just look what happened with bitcoinia, ouch.
