Title: Relative Trust of Bitcoin Exchanges
Post by: Qoheleth on September 09, 2012, 12:31:11 AM
Where do you buy and sell bitcoins?

Which exchanges do you trust, and to what extent, and why?

I use BTC-e. I trust them 100%.
https://btc-e.com

I have never had a problem there and I actually fucked up, sending a shitload of BTC to a NMC address (thanks Window's Clipboard) and they were able to send them to the right place for me in the end.
They saved my butt and I am always grateful for that.

Their security is also top notch. I like the email confirmation for withdrawals as well.
(transfers out of the exchange are frozen till you get a confirmation email and click the confirmation link etc. Email address can not be changed)

I more or less trust Mt. Gox, but I use CampBX much more often. I don't really trust the site much; I rarely keep any funds on there for very long at all. I don't have any reason to distrust them besides that I'm paranoid. Dwolla there is super easy.

I recall looking into BTC-e previously, only to discover that they didn't accept USA customers. Do you know whether this is still the case?

I have never been made aware of that, although I am Canadian.
