Bitcoin Forum

I've never been using exchanges that much, didn't have the need at all, so I have no idea which ones are somewhat good, so I figured someone has some experience with, at least, a couple.

I need to exchange BTX and the available ones are: bit-z, coinexchange, cryptobridge, cryptopia, exrates, HitBTC, trade satoshi, vebitcoin and Octaex.

I would definitely avoid Cryptopia, where the rest of the exchanges are purely depending on luck. One user experiences no problems at all, where others might only experience problems and annoyances. If I was in your position, I would go with Bit-z or HitBTC, even though I consider them to be shitcoin exchanges. Try it first with a small deposit, and if everything works fine, send another batch, and if again everything works fine, you repeat. I definitely wouldn't send all funds at once in case you have a lot coins. All these exchanges have somewhat of a bad reputation in certain aspects.

It's really depend on user's experience. Other have good experienced on a certain exchange but others got bad on the same. Some even worst like missing deposits, missing withdrawals, unreflected amount on the wallet etc.

Contrary to poster above me, I have a good experienced with Crytopia and never did a problem in years using them. I currently have some numbers of altcoins playing there. For HitBTC, also the same but experienced a minor issue but that was way back ago and never did happened again. Coinexchange didn't give me a headache but I only played 2 altcoins there. My last activity to them was December last year.

That's the only 3 trading platforms I used for those you have mentioned. Didn't familiar with others. You really need to choose one and test it by yourself. All trading platforms have an associated negative feedbacks so Im hoping that you will not experienced one.

Out of these exchanges, I would recommend you to either use coin-exchange or hitbtc

As harizen said coin-exchange doesn't cause too many problems, I had a coin which I bought last year and put a sell order which would give me 0.4 btc previous month when I logged it my order was filled, and I was quickly able to withdraw it without any issues

Speaking of hitbtc, I actually used to think that they could become one of the best exchanges with how they were functioning when they started by listing only coins which were genuinely good and they actually made a difference in price when a coin was listed on it but unfortunately, they choose money over reputation, and now they list any coin all the developers have to do is pay them. You can deposit on hitbtc but remember they have a deposit fee and their withdrawal fees are so high

I've used hitbtc, cryptopia, tradesatoshi and coinexchange. Fortunately, I was able to trade there smoothly but just like what harizen mentioned, it differs per user so it doesn't mean that it's also a guaranteed same experience for you~

But strangely enough when it comes to a certain exchange's support, majority of the users has the same experience which is why I want to suggest to avoid the ones which are known for their non-existent support however I just remembered that none of the them has a reliable customer service... I guess at this point as long as they answer it's good huh?.... A few months ago, I contacted hitbtc's support to inquire about something, They did reply but after a month  :-\

Oh yeah before I forgot, Don't forget to transact with a decent amount only, not too much since most users who did got their account flagged---based from what I see

So I've noticed, that's why I've decided to ask someone else before using any of these. I've seen threads complaining about all of these exchanges and was a little sceptical about using any of these.


I've decided to go with hitBtc and all went well aside from the quite high withdrawal fee, in my opinion, of 0.0001 btc. But at least it went as smooth as it can.


Exactly, 0.0001 fee is quite something now. I've had that fee on yobit when bitcoin was only 300$ but yes, fees got me on hitbtc.


hah I've been a moderator on one private world of warcraft server a few years ago and you wouldn't believe what kind of questions people have for customer support. ;D Also, I was using yobit before so I'm kind of used to it now. lol

What do you mean with decent amount? Are you talking about hitbtc or about exchanges overall? Because I'm sending btx that I get from this campaign, that's about 16 coins with the current price.

Concerning the listed crypto exchange. I will definitely advice the OP not to use Hitbit cause a lot of  scam accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2790685.0) was said about the exchange this year and last but I think you should be fine using cryptopia or bit-z

:)

I have tried four of those exchanges you mentioned; Bit-z, coinexchange, cryptopia, HitBTC
In  my case I don't have major problems with them I encounter deposit problem from cryptopia but in the first place it was my mistake
because I deposit ETH from a contract address but it was fix in 24 hours I just email their support. There are scam accusation with hitbtc
but since I joined last 2017 I don't encounter any major problem just some delay in withdrawal I don't get email confirmation, But it was fix in an hour
because they having maintenance that time but its not a major problem I don't lost any fund there. But don't put large amount of funds there any of them can run and steal from us they can say they were hack or something just an alibi. Each exchange has different withdrawal fees you can try which one you can save more and please review some feedbacks of that exchanges.

I prefer to use binance rather than those options that you've just mentioned on the op. I used oldest exchange such a polonoex and bittrex but i had a bad experience with their service and then i moved to binance so far it's best exchange for me. Anyway i never used those exchanges except hit-btc as people mentioned it got so many bad reviews.

You can go with HITBTC as looks like it is the only one exchange I have used and is using right now without any major issue. They just have one really idiotic rule, you have to trade multiplication of some number set by them for each coin like you can't sell 0.11 in some coins.

I haven't hit by their KYC yet but better be careful not to use them with large amount, You just want to exchange your $50 worth of bitcore there which you are getting paid via signature campaign. So for that amount it should be fine..

Unfortunately, OP is asking about the exchanges he listed because those exchanges have BTX pairs, and Binance doesn't have any Bitcore pairs on the exchange, so you missed the entire point of this thread. I use Binance to trade TRX and it is a good exchange IMO, but the exchange is missing some pairs that are needed like BTX.

I'd actually use Cryptopia in this case as it seems to be the biggest volume exchange trading BTX that isn't Bit-Z, which is a Chinese exchange I haven't ever heard of. I've used it in the past and it's acceptably good out of the exchanges that have BTX pairs. HitBTC has very low volume for BTX, and I try to avoid low-volume pairs on exchanges.

You are right mate, recently I used these exchange hitBTC and cryptopia and fortunately I didn't have encountered any problem my withdrawal transaction it goes smooth. So, all of the choices I must prefer to choose that exchange.
Yes, I personally admitted to my self when I doing a transaction in any exchange I scared that my money lost but luckily it is not.

The bolded is the only one I have account on that I have used couple of times when I want to exchange crypto. There KYC is not too difficult and its only applicable if you are exchanging above $1000 which is not too intense as you have to set some high level password which can be done using Google authenticator only that you wont have access to your funds in 48 hours. Since I have been using them, I have not had any issues but I have read about some bad reviews about the experiences people have had on the platform but I feel its more of customer service experience though. You can do your due diligence before going to trust them with your precious coins.

It seems like you don't read what the OP said because the OP was talking about a particular coin (Bitcore) which he/she has listed the exchange where the coin is available and the coin is definitely not available on binance.

Cryptopia has no KYC (as long you don't transfer out +$5000 per day) I am using it for maybe 2 years and never got any problem.
A lot of people complaining are people who don't understand the real problem, I mean sometimes the problem comes from the coin itself and not from Cryptopia. Of course, Cryptopia team can't resolve such problem

Bitcoin core isn't listed on Binance and if OP does see BTX is in there he would definitely going to choose it.

Some traders have problems with cryptopia, hitbtc and other exchanges as well but if you'll consider the good experiences here, you can try all of them.

Alright, good luck trading there.

Yeah, the experience differs per coin it's a must to check their wallet status because sometimes it could be on cryptopia's end too (from my experience). They always seem to fix the problems but it requires a lot of time for them ranging from weeks to months and most of their customers aren't that understanding when it comes to waiting.

Wait, did they charged you 0.001 or 0.0001 btc? In their article the withdrawal fee listed for bitcoin is 0.001.  

I can't say for sure which one is the best for you, because it depends on your individual needs. An exchange could be more trusted, however, have larger spreads on this particular trading pair. Or vice versa.

I would not, however, use Octaex. I believe that there were recent accusations of it being an exit scam, and upon checking their site out, it doesn't seem the most legit. HitBTC is another one to avoid, since when you try to withdraw, they may hold your funds and ask you to provide unnecessarily large amounts of verification questions. Cryptopia has had deposit/withdrawals problems in the past, and should be avoided as well.

You should do some research yourself on the rest of the exchanges that I haven't ruled out, and find the best for your purposes.

Tradesatoshi and binance are among my favorites.
I used these two and I did not have any problems.

Did you not bother to read the OP or just letting that out there? Only ones that I've mentioned in the OP, please stay on topic.

It is obvious he does not have any exchange experience but at least he could have used exchange reviews to get the best out on Google as crypto compare do have a good user review of exchanges on their platform. However, I am sure you are giving him suggestions based on what he has mentioned, but I will really avoid HitBTC too same as Cryptopia that you mentioned.

I am not conversant with the rest and assuredly they are not widely used which brings me to the question why use any of those ones, when you can at least use the trusted ones with high volume. Binance is the best bet so far.

I actually did read some reviews for exchanges I've heard before (HitBTC,Cryptopia,bit-z and coinexchange) but wanted to ask here about the first hand experience and I've decided to go with hitBtc, at least for now, since they're looking the best so far here.

I suggest you to go with the Bitz exchange because where the price offered for you is higher than any other exchange and it also has the most volume of the bitcore coin so if you are looking to only sell your BTX then it should be the best exchange.

out of these exchanges i have used bit-z, coinexchange, cryptopia and HitBTC . and basis on my experience all are OK for trading , but dont hold coins there . you can use any of these . according to reliability i will rank in this position -
1. Bit-Z     2. Coinexchange     3. HitBTC     4. Cryptopia

BUT remember only one thing volume should enough so that you can trade properly , otherwise without liquidity you will fail to buy or sell at good price .
2nd thing make sure to check deposit and withdrawal fees so that you dont spend extra bucks .
3rd thing most important is check the wallet status on these exchanges for that coin , sometimes they disable deposit and withdrawal or some issue while withdraw . so make sure you don't get trapped in such issue .

Research indeed is a must when reaching your money on each of this site since it's your own produced money and i know you worked for this for some time. Eventhough i didnt face the same issue as everyone i don't recommend Hitbtc to be your main trading site or even using it. As the topic on the one the suits everyone better i don't really know the average persons taste so I'll just leave it be.

BTX have greater volume on BIT-Z compare to others that you mentioned so I think it's clear now where will you placed your trades.

No assurance that a certain trading platform will be good for long term so it's a matter of taking the risks. Just learned their limits and KYC policy so you won't be surprised in the future.

If your volume is high then steer away from hitbtc.They are known to be a nuisance, and can cause you trouble.They have a shit customer support.
You can google to know more about the shady behavior of hitbtc.
No one knows who the owners are, and they boast about this fact.Better to choose some other exchange.

Normal for people to say such things based on what they do experience. People do talk to avoid cryptopia but ever since i do make use of this exchange i dont experience any problems at all which are entirely opposite into other traders as well. Among on those exchangers i do recommend Hitbtc but still it isnt a guaranteed for you on not to experience possible problems ahead because most of them do have issues even the top tier exchangers are experiencing it too thats why deposit on your own risk.

It largely depends on the coins that you are using. If you stick to the top coins in this market, which generally have stable networks, there is less for you to potentially experience problems with.

The same basically applies to HitBTC and Yobit. If you look at the majority of the complaints, it always concerns shitty coins and tokens. These exchanges should be used as dump exchanges only.

Top tier exchanges mostly have strict AML/KYC rules to abide by, which is causing the problems for people, and not so much the regular problems Hitbtc and the rest seem to suffer from.

Coinexchange, Cryptoia and HItbtc are the ones that I used these past several months and they are okay. I've been wanting to use bit-z but the coins on their list are not the ones that I want to buy but I think they are performing well.

Basing up on numbers of issues between to those top coins and shitty ones, you are right most of them can be possibly experienced on shitty ones where you do face issue either on deposit or withdrawals. AML/KYC policies are becoming standard thing on top exchangers which if you do plan to transfer up then expect or you should be willing to submit up documents but still you can able to trade on unverified accounts but as expected there would really be limitations.

Apart from this you can see the bitrex, binance and bitfinex for the exchange purposes mate. When you want to invest your money over trading these will be really helpful exchanges to use in the market bro.
I am not sure about that coins but these exchanges will give the big list of the market bro.
You can use the CMC whenever you wanna check the coins market. We will find the list which one is the right exchange on it mate.
