Decentralized market look like a good chance to make profit, etherdelta is one of most popular but look like all token on this market are full of speculation...... What you think about? Solid project like Centra are good investement for medium time or is too risky?

I don't know, i think there are better exchanges than it is etherdelta.
I mean, you can trade only tokens for ether and vice versa there while in other exchanges(bittrex, liqui, cryptopia...) you can trade tokens, altcoins and bitcoin.

Etherdelta does not have your private keys, and runs on the Ethereum blockchain through smart contracts. So it is much safer than a regular exchange. No counterparty risk with Etherdelta. As long as you have backed up your private keys, it is virtually impossible to lose your funds. You can trade OMG and any other tokens that you purchase on EtherDelta back into ETH using EtherDelta.  OMG is also traded on some bigger platforms, Thats mean not all tokens are scam there ! Sorry I don't know anything about "Centra" but I heard most people think is a scam.

I agree with you.  I have been using Etherdelta ever since I started trading and have traded tokens here.  I never had a problem here when I am trading.  Aside from that,  Etherdelta is highly recommended by other people,  they also said that this is trusted and more secured than the other exchangers.

I don't recommend Etherdelta. No doubt Etheredelta is decentralized exchange and give you entire freedom in trading process but freedom does bring manipulation along with it. Open any coin on ED and you will see the bots altering the prices up and down.
You can buy the higher orders without clearing the lower ones, on other side, you can sell at lower prices even if orders with better prices are there. So ED can easily be manipulate hence I don't recommend. 

I don't think so, because sometimes in ether delta their are many traders them encounter some bugs and sometimes they are telling that it has low of transactions but sometimes it's good for me because some of the coins list theirs first in ether delta. We can trade their also because some of the coins their are much more higher price than some exchangers. So, ether delta is good too.

It's actually decent ,once we understand how adding wallet, transferring deposits etc work

I think etherdelta is good since you can buy coins before they're even listed, but honestly the system sucks. The site is extremely clunky, it's extremely confusing to use hence you see so many people buying 1 link for 200 eth for example. I feel like they should re-design the whole website and make it more user friendly to something similar to bittrex/binance

If you are holding ethereum that's the best choice because it's a descent way of trading, and the transaction is safe. Once you made the  imports of your wallet, you have no problems on trading your coins and yet it's fast compared with other sites as you handle token to ethereum trades.

Also, in etherdelta, you will deal a lot of tx fees since you will send something here and there. I think you know (or will know) what it means if you had tried trading there. I don't recommend trading there along with other reasons including what other people said above.

I don't like Etherdelta. I think there are many other better exchanges. My favorite are Binance, Cryptopia, Novaexchange, Bittrex.

Yes etherdelta is a good exchange but if you are doubting to deal with them then use a dummy wallet and transfer the coins you wish to trade on the other delta so that you will not be worry for your private keys. And Also Centra are somewhat a good choice to since that project is huge and maybe you should hold that coin cause there's a huge possibilities that the price of it will bubble just like what happen on monaco before.

that's right if you are aiming to trade a new release token that use eth platform then ED is the best place to trade they cater newly release eth token
and ready for some trade but for me its always good to wait until  the coin reached decent exchange like trex and polo so it cant be manipulated by some
but be traded by big players and got a bigger chance to earn a lot.

Coins listed on etherdelta are too cheap you have a chance to earn big profit when the coin will be listed on other exchanges but before buying a coin make sure to do your own research buy the coin which you think have a potential.

Etherdelta has a shitty interface and everything is pretty slow as well as the fact it does not have a very good graph and you would not be able to cancel your orders when you place them.
However, it is a really REALLY good place to find the up and coming coins before they are listed on an major exchanges.
Its an opportunity to buy low market cap coins early on, and multiply your money. Obviously there are a lot of shit coins on there but you would have to do your research.

Centra seems to be a scam to me as well. I was reading how Cryptodevil has been questioning their ANN thread and I am suspicious as well.

Back on topic: I have been using Bittrex, Poloniex and other exchanges for most of the time and EtherDelta is new for me. I recently came to know about it and have not used it yet.

Since it is a decentralized exchange it is one good plus point. However my observations show that there is more of a selling pressure on tokens in ED than buying pressure. I do not know the reason behind this but I hope this changes in future. Otherwise people will simply dump it here and buy at low price to sell it at high price on another exchange.

Etherdelta has many coins yes but the problem is etherdelta has one of the lowest volume in their coins. and you can't actually buy btc with it only eth.

I doubt etherdelta is a good exchange, because this exchange paltform is asking private key of your ethereum address. How come that it become good. Other exchange is not asking any private key of their clients. That's my opinion only. :)

I have just known this site few days ago when the booming of eBTC, I do not use this site to trade so far but what I can say is that the site is so laggy. There are no much activity but it seems to be so heavy to load, I'm sure it is not about my connection because I can open any other site smoothly. I also think that this site is only being used to sell most erc20 tokens that have just launched recently with airdrop. I dont see any good future of this exchange to be honest.

Yeah, the webpage too loads very slowly even if there is a good internet connection. I use Etherdelta when I sold one of my coins. So far, so good and I never had  a problem aside from the interface where the loading seems forever. Etherdelta is also recommended to me by one of my friends who have been a member of this forum for so long so I trust and I hoe that this will not be a hindrance.

The interface of etherdelta is not as complicated as other markets that one level with it, although the loading is heavy but always improves the system every day. Etherdelta is a favorite of all ICO coins and offers an easier decentralization because there is no need to register with an identity card or send an email.

Just a good choice for ICO projects as this is always the first destination of ICO and they often trade in this market. I think if it is pumped in this market then surely it will be an ICO project and you should consider long term investment

I detests the services provided by Etherdelta besides it is the token exchanger is here every move has paid. So my friends who are also involved in bitcoins are no longer trading here. We're looking forward to a good exchanger. This is just a reminder of my experience based on what I've experienced in that exchanger

hmmmm you think so ?
well i havent tried trading in etherdelta ,i just heard from my friends that its not a user friendly platform.
so i didnt consider trading there besides the fact that i have zero knowledge in their system
but reading some comments from active traders of this platform i guess your right
if i have free time ill consider studying the exchange

ED is great once you learn how to use it with the exception of load times.

Etherdelta is a very good exchange to make profit, besides the term decentralized is what i like more. You will need to know that it limits your trade cos you can only trade ERC20 tokens. I will suggest adding couple of other exchanges and use them. Many of them exits. It's always good to diversify

Etherdelta is good but there are other trading site that is better, I think . :)

Etherdelta.com is a good choice for the one who have been making investments into ICO in large scale rather than investing into any other form of investment. It provides with the initial listing for the trading of the particular assets than other trading exchanges making it to be better on the basis of specific reason.

No one can give you the right answer since no one could able to predict the future.Etherdelta exchange is good since its a decentralized one but the thing i do complain on using them is the site is heavy to load and i do hate the fee because any transactions you would made do have corresponding fee which i do hate :D. Etherdelta is only the exchange for erc20 tokens.

I trade to Etherdelta a few times and my feeling was that it was OK, I traded without any technical problems. However, it has two disadvantages that many people may not like. First, the altcoins are only traded, exchanged through Ethereum, if you want to trade with Bitcoin, it isn't suitable for you. Second, you will not need an account, but you will have to enter your private key to use it. I judge this is a lack of trust because nobody knows whether the private key is distributed. But I have tried trade and until now, no matter what happens. This is just my personal opinion

Used them once and won't be using them anytime soon. The steps involved were not user friendly in anyway.
Plus i find it strange that bids set higher than the asking price are not automatically filled and vice versa ???

No volume no good choice. I stay away from excahnges like this.

ED is safe since it's decentralised but its UX is terrible. As well as charts. I hope one day decentralised exchanges will be user friendly.

Etherdelta is great for trading brand new coins before they are listed on other exchanges, but other than that it's pretty useless. It is not very user friendly at all so there are much better exchanges to use.

In order for any order to be filled someone has to manually match it, that's why the bids oftern exceed the sell price. Regarding ED, it's pretty horrible to use and only really good for immediately after ICOs

Etherdelta is not very convenient to use. But if you got used to it it is ok.
But I like that is running as a smart contract. Everything what you do is stored in the chain.
The downside is that you have pay gas for everything - but it is not very much.

In sum: You can use - but there are other exchanges which are easier to use.

Most of peoples using this just for new coins and ICO tokens just because of this they are not worrying about any thing because for all other services we have many reputable and user friendly exchanges they are doing very good and giving best services hope Etherdelta devs also will do some better work and do this also as user friendly

It is a good exchange, i have never used it, but a lot of people who i know were using it and it works fine, it is not the best exchange out there, because you can trade in better exchanges, and they have less fees, like bittrex or poloniex, and also they are more safe, i dont know why are you trading in that one. But if it is good for you, then keep using it, good luck.

For all I heard, it sucks and it's terrible and lists the coins without even asking the owners of the coins. And they are terrible at responding to the owners /developers of those coin if any mistake, because they are decentralized no one can do anything. And the user interface is also terrible, better go for a better exchange, it's just a waste of time I believe.

Well etherdelta is also a good choice to trade your coins. A lot of traders use this exchange lately but the thing that I dont like in etherdelta is too slow to load the page. Yes there are more trading exchange that is good and secured bittrex is open. I do hope etherdelta will develop more features that is easy to access and easy to use by many.

As for Centra, better observe some more about its movement. It is too early to judge how it will fare in the outside market since its ICO had just ended several days ago. Bounties abound right now so there might be some dumping after distribution. As for Etherdelta, I think it is pretty good. I like it there since they admit tokens that are ETH-based earlier than other exchanges.

https://app.radarrelay.com/ is operational now, it works better than etherdelta from my own limited experience.
Radar is built using 0x protocol.  The fees is 0.45% for maker and 0.7% for taker.

Personally, I do not use EtherDelta (nor would I recommend that you do). EtherDelta is a decentralized exchange which allows for entire freedom in the trading process, but with freedom comes market manipulation (as well as the ability for users to operate sketchy bots).

Good luck and stay safe!  :P

I think that until now Etherdelta is still good and good, I've tried the ETH-based token transaction there, and it all went well, yes it's a new look that will confuse other users, but if you already understand it would be very easy on the run.

I think is not so good because sometimes if you want to deposit there the time it takes quite long, especially when transfer to smart contract etherdelta often problematic

I, personally, don't like EtherDelta. It's not a good project, it's slow and a lot of time does not work properly.

But I love the idea, I think that this is the best example of decentralized app, the frontend works on your browser and the backend works on the blockchain, it's just a simply idea, but really really powerful.

More project like this are coming and some of them  nowadays are working. For me is the start point of a new internet. 

I've used etherdelta many times and I'm not satisfied with its use interference or user experience. Actually it's very hard to trade here I'm saying this on a newbie's point of view. You might even lose the exchange amount sometimes.
I don't recommend this exchange to anyone. If you really want to use then check out some YouTube videos on how to use etherdelta which might help you to understand better.

Etherdelta is only suitable for people who want to invest in ICOs because all ICO projects using the Ethereum platform are listed here. I think Etherdelta is very easy to use, but you have to be careful because the market has a lot of security flaws

it is a good trading platform and somehow, it is dencentralized and anonymous. It is hard to trace out who are using etherdelta for trading. Many of my friends are using this exchange and most of them say that it is awesome, marvelous and fast. However, beware of the fees. The fee is sometimes high and you need to lower it or you will suffer a huge ridiculous loss from the ridiculous high gas price

I agree with you, etherdelta is only suitable for those who prefer to invest in ICO because almost all ICO are concentrated here but most of the prices are down in a short time and will pump up as soon as a large exchange listed . I think this is really great for the altcoin from the ICO project

True, but most of the ICO coins that are on Ethereum platform usually ends up in Etherdelta and it is really easy to use as everyone says it is that's why people also wants to use this exchange site and it has higher price value compared to other exchanges (at least that's what I've noticed, but I could also be wrong though).

Decentralized is a good advantage and option. It looks like a good market, but lacks some depth in liquidity, could improve over time.

Many People get mad or pissed of in ED because you need to send it and it takes so long but one of the solution to that is making your gas higher to get faster transactions (yes it cost more but it would be worth it so you will not wait 5 hrs just to receive it).

I think etherdelta is less comfortable for me who trade with small fund. Yes, because for every transaction must use gas that isn't small. Different with altcoin exchanger i used to use

Being the ether delta we will hold the bitcoin for the long time, just not only this but a lot of other options are there. It is the good and the smart exchange but if you are not having the right experience and you are having the doubt in this exchange then does some research because you will not be able to cancel you dealing s if once you will place them, so be very careful.

ED is nice for trading but its a bit heavy for me,lots of tokens there that I have been trading the weakness for my heavy display either my pc is a bit of a ram.All look good option about tokens is also very simple.

Etherdelta is a best place to trade tokens from ICOs majority of those from ERC20 compatible coins. Although it is decentralized there is also a big risk involve. The interface is not so good and not so intuitive, it may take a lot of time for a newbie trader to familiarize its interface and sometimes it may end up losing more token if not properly set.

I dont think so. I have been trying to trade some tokens from a week or more now and not even once it was an easy stuff to do. Especially after when the eCoins bubble started on the ether chain.

A very bad exchange, I do not load the books of purchase and sale, headaches gave me for days when trying to sell eBTC, no load is missing much more development.

I guess we all wanted a service like that. Considering the idea we support, decentrilazied exchange platform is a "must". However, because it is on a blockchain network and everything needs to be confirmed, things are little slower than what we are used to. Not practical at the moment. I think this is the main problem we all agree on.

This exchange pisses me off but most of newly launched erc20 tokens do commonly end up on being listed on this exchange which we can able to see mostly as of now.The thing that do hesitate me is the UI of this exchange and the fees anytime you do make transactions on this one.

etherdelta just making more ether Transactions nothing more :) no volume, slow System.

The UI isn't that good. If you don't be attentive it is easy to make a mistake. And the fees are to high. But you can catch some tokens early on.

What are the security flaws ? I think there aren't many, mainly because it's a decentralised exchange.

Yes, Etherdelta is a very good exchange because it is truly decentralized and thus it is safer and anonymous. I really like it. The downsides lie in the slowness of the platform and also it's not so easy to use for newbies. Anyway it is still the best choice to trade ETH-based tokens.

Theres no security flaw on using Etherdelta exchange since it is really decentralized the flaw on here is when you disclose your privatekeys for sure those coins of yours would really be at risk on getting stolen by someone.Unlike on other exchange that you would need to sign up and make deposits into your coins and Etherdelta do works on different way since its decentralized.I do like the exchange but having a heavy interface and high fees will really give me second thoughts.

Etherdalta is more of a "must" rather than a "choice".  Because they do list coins automatically without waiting weeks or sometimes months for other platforms to list upcoming coins in the market. This is a serious time saving factor for Etherdelta users.

There are some points they should develop that is about account security, if the user only has a private key that can not be changed then the possibility to be stolen is very large. this is very dangerous for people affected by phishing links.

second development is a gas arrangement that is not understood by everyone, this is a problem because people who do not like it will leave without wanting to learn more

The third is transactions that often delay up to more than 24 hours, this is a big problem if there is congestion due to large volume increases in the same time (Bottle neck)

If you will asked me Im not comfortable in using Etherdelta since you will entrust your private key to them in order to login. Plus every actions there have a designated gas charges.

But there are times that I need to used them because some coins are being pumped there that if I will wait for that specific coin to be listed on other exchanges, then hype is already over or should I say that it will not happened again.

Cryptopia is the best and I choose one for buying and selling coins. Cryptopia has the big market amongst all web exchange. Centra? Not been updated about the ICO's and incoming ICO. Our cryptomarket suddenly grew because of the newly created tokens. It's a big advantage to us to make our bitcoin grow. Let us consider this one as a good opportunity, live it with good positive sides.

I have really still been considering why it is a good choice for ICO projects anyway. I once heard listing your coin on their platform is not as expensive as bittrex or poloniex which makes it one of the major reasons every new ICO make use of them instead. It is good though, hopefully they can try to increase their services much better and make it an exchange of choice instead of just a mere token exchange platform.

Back in the past when i was still newbie on using Etherdelta exchange site which on setting the gas i have mistakenly adjust it too high which it did result on wasting up too much eth on the account on every transactions.It did really confirm the transaction fast not instant as expected knowing the network is always congested which same as you said some transactions are really on delay because on the volume.If you are really new on exchange site like delta you would really have a hard time on understanding it for the very first time but well they do have their help page.

As far as I am concerned, etherdelta is basically good for the fact that you can easily load your tokens and exchange them but for regular trade and for security, I am not sure they should be in the top list of anyone. There are so many exchange that are way much better to consider such as binance, bittrex, bitsquare or just find the one that is best for your needs. This link can be of help https://www.cryptocompare.com/exchanges/#/overview

agree with you also that ether delta would be the good choice but as we can see there is a lot that use this but for trading only.

Yes ECOINS are also profitable in some aspects but there are only dozen of people who know about it crypto is mainly relying on bitcoin and it is use to make money faster maybe in future there is bit scope of ECOINS also but bitcoin is now ruling the throne and in future there may be a possibility to this that this token can be used for money making.

As for me, this exchange is quite difficult for a beginner, it will be her fear, and of course, decentralization is a good choice.

They have listings and markets for essentially every single token on the ethereum network which has not yet made it to other big public exchanges e.g. poloniex/bittrex. So it's a good way to grab coins just after the ICO.

It's a good exchange with lots of pairs, i personally have not used them much but they are not bad frankly.

However, as soon as a coin gets listed on a big exchange, expect volume on etherdelta to go down.

But I can't trust them to trade with and those Ecoins are good for only a short time trade and I think its scam, and look on what is happening on E coins on delta some of them died and the others has been dumped so hard and the only one who got benifited unto that is the creators of that Ecoins.

Well, it's purely for token trading, right? Most tokens are highly speculative, if not outright scams. I like Etherdelta a lot for what it is -- in-browser (simple, easy) decentralized exchange. The problem with security is that, much like Blockchain.info, you don't control the software that is pushing transactions. So if the service is compromised, you could be subject to MITM attacks, even if the site doesn't control your private keys. All in all, though, it's safer than a centralized exchange. Just don't transact with huge amounts of money there.

To be honest Etherdelta is really sucks for trading. Deposit altcoins always take a long long time to get confirmed and you also need Ethereum ready on your account for trading on Etherdelta. The only benefit that I like on Etherdelta is new altcoins can be traded fast on etherdelta, so we don't need wait more to trade our coins.

In my experience, depositing tokens into the Etherdelta smart contract can take a while (10-30 minutes) because these transactions are sent with a very low fee. Fortunately, that saves you money. This is the nature of decentralized exchange; you're using the blockchain, which isn't all that efficient. But you can remove trusted third parties this way.

There is still some security risk due to MITM attacks via browser, but it's a big improvement from the exit scam / hack risk of centralized exchanges.

Etherdelta give you access to your private keys, so you are totally safe using their exchange. Its almost specialized in the trading of the tokens, but its supporting only ETH .
If they can adding BTC and some other altcoins it will be a lot better.

I think etherdelta its most easy to use , because we just import an private keys and eth address.
But u must have minimum 0.01 ETH to make a deposit to etherdelta wallet.
And then most a new token always can exchange on etherdelta because i see , all new token easy to listed on etherdelta.
I always use etherdelta to make a exchange token from airdrop/bounty.

I really don't like EtherDelta for some reasons. First, the site is so slow. It likely takes some minutes for the site to load all its contents upon logging in to it. Second, the features are very complicated and messy. If you are a newbie in trading, and log in EtherDelta, you will really get lost. Another thing is that the prices of the altcoins are way far lower compared to other exchanges/trading sites (which I think is an acceptable reason to avoid this site). I've tried this site once, and didn't use it again since then.

Yes ETHERDELTA can be profitable at some extinct as it has limited user as compare to bitcoin and there are not enough popularity yet and it may be possible in future that this token can be used as money making investment but talking about this time bitcoin is king of crypto and will remain at crown, trade also in bitcoin both will give you huge combined profit.

Etherdelta gain more popularity due to the ERC20 coins and its very profitable to trade at them since they are trusted site to lend your money with, But we must be careful on phising sites since there are so many people copy the interface of that site and phis their victims to stole there balances. And we should do a proper checking on the site where we input our keys so that we will be safe always.

Dont pick etherdelta  has no private keys and not entirely safe and so many doesnt know about that in short not popular and doesnt have many exploits and safety measuresand such proofs of security go for used ether sites or exchages like myetherwallet or bitrex etc.

It's definitely not glamorous or fast, that's for sure. That's the tradeoff with decentralized exchanges, and why most people don't bother with things like Etherdelta. Centralized exchanges can have much thicker order books, lightning fast trading engines, and placing orders on the book doesn't require a blockchain transaction. Etherdelta is definitely not for beginners.

But it does feel good to be able to trade without trusting my funds to an exchange. I was crippled pretty badly by both Bitfinex (2016) and BTC-e (2017), so I'm not overexposing myself to any centralized exchange.

After some day I really don't like this kind of market, the transaction is too slow and sometime fail....

Etherdelta is very good marketplace for newly launched Tokens , Specially if your have purchased tokens from Officially and the price bumps in market and profit. Specially if you earned tokens from bounty and you want to withdraw your earning then its good news you can sell at this exchange website.

if you think other coin may reach top in future you hold that token from exchange and wait for rise 

Most of members using this etherdelta just for selling and buying tokens which are not available on other exchanges because they are very new in market its still very confusing but giving very good way to enter in market myetherwallet and bitterx cannot provide this service so quickly like etherdelta

I think your reply is out of the context. I really don't understand what you are trying to point here.

Etherdelta isn't the profitable itself but the tokens listed on this decentralized exchange. Also why mentioned of number of users here? If you meant for volume, then it was pretty showing good and because lots of ERC20 tokens are being created then surely it will boost more the volumes in the future.

P.S Etherdelta is not a token that can be used for trades, it's an exchange.

I feel that is just the major challenge with them. They just suck at that and they don’t seem to be making any improvement. At least, being the most sorted after exchange for tokens, they can capitalize on that to make the exchange very usable for users so as to drive in more traffic. They have a great edge in some areas, but they just need to work on something that are quite relevant.

i hate etherdeltas gas system. its also too heavy for transactions. and volume is not enough for major coins

I have ETH in bittrex and another exchange. Can i transfer it to etherdelta to buy alt coins? If it is possible then do i have to provide my etherdelta account as the ETH address in Bittrex?

I checked through forums but there was no mention of it. Kindly let know also if there is any alternate solution to this.

Thanks guys.

I use it more than 3 months. Website is sometimes very slow and orders are not accepting but the advantage of this site; they list new ethereum based coins/tokens firstly. And you can connect your ether wallet to etherdelta easily.

That private key thingy has really been a huge scare for me as well cause that aren't a thing to toy with at all.

Even though I haven't heard much negative news regarding any one loosing funds as a result of this, but I wish there could just be another way. The trust is important though, maybe over time, people will get more comfortable and get used to it.

Etherdelta has really been very good with having tokens quickly which has really made them very much popular and I really hope they could work on their platform to fix some little bugs.

Over time though, I believe some of this will gradually be resolved and the experience may end up being smooth for users. Having multiple options to trade is always good for me as it helps me not to have all my cryptos into one single exchange. I want more exchanges come to party with us !

I am using Etherdelta via metamask. I guess it is much better than giving away private keys, but i still have some questions about the safety of matemask. So far, i have not faced any problems anyway. I hope it stays that way.

etherdelta is currently full of tokens that have been there all the new tokens there are good tokens but etherdelta too much fee so my income decreases everytime I buy or sell this token for those who have thin capital is not recommended at etherdelta

I think it is the only exchange which support decentralisation with fully access control by the member and user of this exchange . But little bit hard for new user to trade with etherdelta   

In the end... I bring away all my token from Etherdelta

I think ethdelta is a good exchanger site, because it's decentralized and only your private key is needed in order to have a full control of your account.
I may say its good trading here, because most coins/ tokens specially erc20 tokens are listed here and can use on different transactions.

This is main point just because of this confusing system many members like to stay away from this exchange they need to have any video link for newbies then surely many members will try to use this but currently its very hard way to use this exchange

Etherdelta is a great choice for developers or people with creativity. However, unfortunately there are very many tokens that enter and then freeze at a very low value and become garbage. Like me who buys ECNY and eGBP tokens when they're still at a pretty high point, but now it's dead.
