Bitcoin Forum

My personal favourite is localbitcoins and circle. I like localbitcoins because you can post your own offers and they offer escrow.

kraken, for the fee and the speed

My favourite exchange (for trade/exchange  xbt >> eur) is kraken but I also like bitfinex. Kraken has the lowest fee for the bank transfer, only 0.09 € .

My personal choice is www.100bit.co.in. Though everyone wont have access to it as it is still in beta. I like it because I control my own coins and the trading fees are damn low.

How does the escrow work, and what happens if someone tries a chargeback for a bank transfer? I assume local bitcoins only holds bitcoins in escrow, and not money. I skimmed through a few horror stories about chargebacks on the internet and it put me off.

Localbitcoins has been the best exchange for me as well.

I used to know that bank transfers are irreversible in nature. You should not accept any reversible payment method against bitcoin.

poloniex  ::)

Can you reverse a transaction on coinbase?

How long does it take to register at coinbase and what kind of ID do they want? Most exchanges I have used want a high resolution passport scan and either a scan of a recent bill or bank statement.

I like http://bit-x.com/ , It's probably the only one that support a lot of Payment methods including Credit cards and Paypal accounts and others ...

A bitcoin transaction is irreversible , so it doesn't matter which "wallet" you are using. When you send your bitcoin and after the tx has received at least 1 confirmation , then it is gone.

my personal favorite is poloniex
its fast safe and has a good design also tax is good :)

Bittrex for alt and localbitcoins for btc

Is Kraken like Circle?
Deposit/Withdrawal from the company? or do you have to look/create offers?

No, it isn't. kraken is different from circle, you should deposit eur with a simple bank trasfer and after create the buy order.

Until now i have almost all the time used cryptsy.
A few times Poloniex, which is also good.
I didn't have any problems with these two, so i keep on using them.

The Kraken is good if you live in the EU in a country that uses the Euro because it does SEPA bank transfers for a tiny fee (something like 9 cents). If you live outside the EU you have to pay the going rate for a normal wire transfer which is a hell of a lot more.

Favorite for what

BTC- USD ==> Bit-x, btc-e
BTC- Cash ==> This forum, looking for bit-x to launch debit or credit card to use there service
BTC- STR ==> bx.in.th

these are my some fav exchanges

I used to like Poloniex the most.
But since they seemed to me that they started to increase some of the fees, I am just looking for a good replacement.

Then you should go for bit-x or btc-e [but not recommended that much]

Thanks, but they don't have (yet?) the altcoins I also play with.
Bittrex has too many coins and I've also read some odd news at some point.
HitBtc looks good, but .. I am still searching.
Will keep an eye on this thread, may help me too.

There are so many right now. Apart from the one in my signature, there are localbitcoins, kraken, cryptsy, poloniex which I've all used before without facing any problem. currently I'm using bittrex and there is quite a heavy movement over there which makes it great for doing fast trading and also fast profit.

Yeah. If you want to sell your bitcoins on localbitcoin.com , you get the cash first from the buyer and you need to release his coins afterwards.  This is the best exchange I had ever seen in my life.

Poloniex, now has a new & fresh interface.

&

Bittrex also good and stable exchanger.

I'm also like mintpal before being closed...

www.bittrex.com
www.cryptsy.com
because, all the easy to understand and to use for trading

I'd probably say Poloniex. Not for anything else, but just that I happened to have made some profit from the site.

But the transaction processing time is freaking long.

You can recomend bit-x which coin do you want to see in bit-x, they have a recomendation page. They will add it for you

I actually sent an email to the support asking a few questions, but after a week still no response.

I guess crappy support team for bit-x.

You can ask your question here, marco will reply you when he will be there

Thanks

Nah, it's fine. Found another exchange who is fast, trusted and gives me a good rate.
Although it's certain that it won't scam me because it's an Australian company and provides an ABN, and there's numerous positive feedbacks, but who has used igot.com before?

Thanks

Would you think that site the marco is advertising is scam you? The site that is giving away more than 20 btc every month on sig campains ?

https://bitx.co/market
to trade in Kenya, Indonesia, South Africa and Malaysia.

No you got me wrong. I just said that I found a better exchange that suits me better.

I have never said that bit-x.com is a scam :)

I usually trade with this site


Bit-X is on the upside for now  8)
spending more than BTC20 / month for signature campaign is awesome

Have to stick with Coinbase for BTC/USD.   It works but still don't keep much on there.  For alts. I really like Banx.io It used to be Atomic-Trade but recently merged with Banx.  Much faster and secure than Polo/Bittrex.   It's been around for over  a year and has never been hacked.  Another plus is it's licensed/registered in the US. 

Coinbase used to work in my country, South Africa. I am not sure if they still work now.
Seems like the best one for my side of land is localbitcoins.com. If you live in a 1st world part of the earth, you shouldn't have a problem with Coinbase, Bit-X or Bit-e

btc-e, poloniex and bittrex
my choice of exchanges

My favorite exchanger is bitfinex. For alts/BTC i use bittrex. These exchanger is simple and fast to use.
How much they take fee for withdrawing to paypal?

Localbitcoins and doing it all in cash, plus getting a personal quote using preev.

Screw the btc-e crap and knowing if my wire deposit even lands in a foreign country.

btc-e

That depends on what to consider "exchange" :)

When I need to buy/sell bitcoins, my choice is http://www.247exchange.com they are very reliable and fast, and the best thing is that they accept credit cards with rather small fees!

When I need to trade, I use some trading platform - currently I am searching for a favorite one... hope will find it soon)

I prefer using localbitcoins on the go, as I can sell fast and have money in my bank instantly. bitstamp is good too, and I only use it, if I need to trade large amounts.

Localbitcoins is a huge RIPOFF if you ask me. The asking price of bitcoins is anywhere from 5% to 30% over market value.

I don't care how anonymous it is to buy bitcoins on localbitcoins I will not pay up to 30% above market rate for coins. It's fucking extortion!

some people can't buy bitcoins elsewhere. for them localbitcoins is the only option.
then again, i can imagine paying around 2 or 3 percent above market rate if that's your only option to buy btc.
anything over 10 percent is insane.

Circle and Kraken and here in this forum.

Stay away from Coinbase:

(and these are just the current threads here, lots more if you google "coinbase cancelled purchase" or look on reddit):

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=977550.0

I agree. Besides that, huge % of users are illegal exchangers, working with questional (if not say more) money. I can't understand people risking to be involved in money laundering etc, and the biggest question - for what?

http://www.coindesk.com/florida-localbitcoins-user-loses-bid-dismiss-money-transmitter-charge/  etc

my favorite bitcoin exchange :

1. vip.bitcoin.co.id
   >> this is the biggest bitcoin exchange in my country (Indonesia) available market BTC/IDR, BTC/DOGE, BTC/LTC, BTC/XPY, BTC/NBT

2. bittrex & poloniex
   >> I use this to trade BTC for another altcoins

I wonder if trading altcoins in country specific exchanges is any good, as they will never have the  traffic or volume that the international or main exchange sites have.

No its not 30%. It all depends on what part of the world you are, and what method you are using. For me, I just pay around 4-5% of the bitstamp price, and it is much convenient for me, as they are protecting me with an escrow, and I can trade with reputed sellers.

Yes it is 30% except for cash at bank or wire transfers. Western Union, Moneygram, Payza, Paysafecard, PayPal, Gift Cards can be from 10% to 30%.

OKPAY, WebMoney and Perfect Money are 5% to 15% over market value. Prices are bloody terrible for all forms of payment. It's a huge RIP-OFF!

And the big sellers on localbitcoins are obviously laundering the coins they received from selling drugs, committing fraud and other criminal activities.

Your last sentence is a bit exagerated because  they could sell coins just for profit.

I personally love LocalBitcoins,

but I like Poloniex for alt-coin trading :)

I use a combination of Bitstamp and BTC-E.

I trade on both exchanges, but when there is a point that I need to make a BTC to fiat cashout, I will transfer the coins to Bitstamp, if they aren't already there, and then request a cashout.

Not that I don't trust BTC-E enough to request a cashout, but Bitstamp always managed to process EUR cashouts in a quick fashion.

I like exchanges with leverage.

SO bitfinex and okcoin

my favorite exchange is Bittrex for trading, and x.bitcoin.co.id for cashing out into my pocket...;D
