Title: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: samten on April 21, 2013, 07:23:05 PM EVERYBODY RELIES ON MT GX HERE?
SEEMS RELIABLE, BUT NOT SO CHEAP COMPARED TO BANKS... IN LARGE AMOUNTS WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES? Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: torba on April 21, 2013, 07:26:57 PM There's really a lot of alternatives. Coinbase is my dream pick, but it currently can't exchange bitcoins within the hour and proccess USD->BTC buys in a week long ordeal, watch for it in the future.
bitstamp is sleek, btc-e looks solid. I'm using campBX simply because it deals with a small volume well. Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: triciam on April 21, 2013, 07:27:53 PM Btc-e is an alternative
vircurex is another Neither have the volume that mt-gox has, but both do alternate coins also.

I'm using campBX simply because it deals with a small volume well. I'm using Vircurex and Coinbase...just 'cause, I suppose. The hellish wait at Coinbase sucks. I like Vircurex. So far so good. Having said that (practically nothing) I am relatively new other digital currencies. ("Other" meaning other than BitCoin). I am learning fast. Wallets are not empty but I am not spending big bucks at this point. Still, I liked the idea that MtGox used Dwolla but that feature is apparently dead???? Tired to buy yesterday that way and the Dwolla option is gone from the menu??? Anyone know of another way to get BitCoin with Dwolla? Looking to get some Feathercoin for no good reason: 6g1xfEx6j34YJv5qFQDe6VSJ9MRw152WCf BTC: 1ABGD51c3VFynxtbhiVGGRCA4q35mbEsiZ LTC: LVrorELbVj7R1z8MUtcf3pQHXzNkmHaysK PPC: PGxLnyBEhBNX6xyFpqwyFeWC7sVgC61QJW TRC: 1393NdJqFptc4CNRoqBFsxVq5VcUnQJDZw Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: UltimateReaper on April 21, 2013, 07:39:16 PM I can vow for coinbase, but prepare for trouble, and make it double.
Wait times between purchases and selling varies, but generally takes about 5 days. In the BTC market, this is enough to put you on edge. However it has it's advantages. As for exchanges, I'd recommend using one of the top 3-4 exchanges after mtgox. I mean, that way you get to enjoy higher volumes with less worry over technical problems Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: LiteBurner on April 21, 2013, 07:40:57 PM I use bitstamp.net -- my sepa transfer only took 1 day for them to put in my account. I like the real-time buy/sell views and order placement with instant order and limit order options.
If you're day trading in real time, it's the only option as far as I know. Prices usually stick right with the mtgox price.

I feel like every one of those sites, I have seen on Reddit about why you shouldn't trade with them. Especially BTC-Ebitstamp is sleek, btc-e looks solid. I'm using campBX simply because it deals with a small volume well. Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: hitman_8787 on April 21, 2013, 08:00:38 PM anyone tried blockchain?

I just started using them after they upgraded and moved a lot of their operation to the UK. All good so far, but I"m always prepared for the worst. Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: Abo Adamson on April 21, 2013, 08:04:38 PM I prefer BTC-E.COM. Very reliable exchange. Bitstamp is also good!
Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: LiteBurner on April 21, 2013, 08:08:17 PM I prefer BTC-E.COM. Very reliable exchange. Bitstamp is also good! I just wasn't able to get money into btc-e, finally I gave up after jumping through a lot of hoops. I understand that's why their btc price is lower--people can't get their money there to buy.

Get an OkPay account it takes less than a week to approve then you can deposit asap. Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: cpengr on April 21, 2013, 08:49:03 PM OP (samten), please stop shouting. That means turn off caps lock.

Ya, it all seems to be a bit risky and I certainly considered all of that and took a leap of faith. I have bought, transferred to my wallet(s) and leave nothing on-line. So far nothing terrible has happened except for the fatuous wait time with coinbase.

Well, bitcoin-24.com was the next big exchange (at least in Europe). I've lost money there...My suggestion: spread the risk. Try various channels, prefer small transactions rather than big chunks. BeeCoin Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: ertness on April 21, 2013, 09:35:56 PM I personally really like Bitstamp for purchasing bitcoins. I started out using MtGox a few months ago but have since transferred over and primarily use Bitstamp. I have yet to exchange bitcoins for fiat currency though so I do not know which exchange would be best for that.

BeeCoin I like the idea of that. This whole thing is wrought with perils and pitfalls. I am not the most skilled computer guy but I do have some understanding. I respect those that speak the language fluently. Just the same I will follow the rule of backing things up and storing things elsewhere. Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: Agricola on April 22, 2013, 01:52:05 AM I was also wondering this.
Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: ilic on April 22, 2013, 01:57:25 AM bit innovate for Australian users is good.
Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: easyMony on April 22, 2013, 02:54:50 AM try to avoid mtgox....they centralize to many btc's...that is very bad for BTC network, idea and propouse
Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: anderaga on April 22, 2013, 03:54:13 AM I believe that the number of alternatives will increase dramatically over the next few years due to the popularity of the all of the Alt. Coins and the absolutely abysmal record that MtGox is creating by being sooooo unstable.
Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: HenryTheHorse on April 22, 2013, 04:13:02 AM Bitfloor was the best exchange but sadly they got shut down for being little too aggressive with their banking.
Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: Kazimir on April 22, 2013, 04:19:53 AM Bitfloor was the best exchange but sadly they got shut down for being little too aggressive with their banking. What did they do wrong, banking wise? (Never used Bitfloor myself, just wondering)Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: rudychicoDEA6 on April 22, 2013, 04:25:21 AM I prefer and use bitstamp. It's cleaner, and the SEPA is great
Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: Escalator21 on April 22, 2013, 05:37:40 AM any idea on when mt gox will start supporting other alt-currencies?
Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: pippobitcoin on April 22, 2013, 05:45:35 AM I think because of the Ddos they have delayed the launch of other coins.
but maybe this week or next. Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: captemmy on April 22, 2013, 05:52:01 AM MT Gox has the volume and therefore most liquidity...prices are usually higher on there than Bitstamp though.

Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: GusNanto on April 22, 2013, 07:45:48 AM BTC-E and Vicurex
Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: usafinders on May 08, 2013, 11:29:46 AM Neither have the volume that mt-gox has, but both do alternate coins also.
Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: johnras on May 08, 2013, 11:33:21 AM I prefer btc-e
Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: Dalib on May 08, 2013, 06:07:20 PM I prefer (for SEPA transfers) Bitstamp
Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: mymenace on May 09, 2013, 12:10:29 AM Been using BTC-E, really good interface, do not listen to the trollbox.

Yes, mtgox is fine, you can transfer for free your bitcoins everywhere, just be aware that for someplaces you need to send from blockchain.info or your wallet! Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: Zaih on May 09, 2013, 11:19:48 AM I recommend BTC-E. Coinbase is pretty good as well.. Fee's suck though. Meh

Title: Re: mT gOX ALTERNATIVES Post by: trace666 on May 12, 2013, 01:08:19 PM Look here for a list of exchanges trading Bitcoin and USD: http://www.bitcoincharts.com/markets/currency/USD.html (http://www.bitcoincharts.com/markets/currency/USD.html)
The volume column shows you that Mt. Gox is the undisputed volume leader, with almost 10 times the size of runner-ups BTC-e and Bitstamp. Higher volume means higher liquidity (which is good) but also allows Mt. Gox to charge higher transaction fees (which is bad). |
