So, this review will actually be my 1000th post! Interesting.
Now, the signup was very easy, the design is simplistic which makes it easily navigatiable for less advanced users like me. I also like the pin as it added extra security and also has keylogger prevention, however I think many users would appreciate the option of 2 factor authentication.
After the signup was done I got to the home page, as I said, simplistic, four points explaining exactly what each page is for and what the features on it do. However it'd be nice to have them link to the actual page of the feature.
Reference to what I'm talking about :
Also, I found the flashy red envelope on the site a bit obnoxious, I think a simple 'messages(1)' would have been enough.
Once this was done I went on to deposit. I have no bitcoin to sell currently so I took a litecoin out of my litecoin investment and deposited it through BTC-e. I was a bit confused at first as I thought I'd just get an address to deposit too and then later have the ability to sell, but I first have to make a quote. Alright, so I made a quote for 1 LTC, and deposited through the address. Soon the order popped up in my transactions list and just after that it was confirming, great! It's working, all is still easily navigatible and I'm seeing exactly what I'm doing. Also, the order form is very easy to navigate, i can see the info I want to know of my transaction easily in one place.
And shortly after, the transaction was confirming!
Everything in the confirming process went surprisingly quickly, now this has to do with the LTC miners lucky, but in general everything was processed very quickly, it's a faster experience as of right now then with BTC-e, which is good!
Before I knew it, my transaction was confirmed and boom, the funds were there!
And boom, the funds are in my account. As of now I sadly cannot test withdrawals. (It'd be expensive to the Netherlands, I only withdraw if I have a bigger sale, but if you keep this site up I will do that in the future! )
My pro's of the site :
- Simplistic design, and done so that it is easy to navigate.
- Very easy to place orders, and deposit. It also went fast!
- Explains features well on main page immediately, easy signup process and secure.
I haven't found any real cons too be honest, except for the messages tab which could be a little less obnoxious.
Overall rating would be 8/10 if we're rating it. It was easy to use but at times it was a bit buggy, in example if I refreshed my transaction it would sometimes say the transaction didn't exist, and I'd have to reclick it. (The url stayed the same, I can't seem to identify a pattern that causes it to happen). Once I have some BTC for sale which soon will be, I will probably use this site! It's been quicker then the other services I've used so that's a pro.
I hope this helps and you can do something with this feedback! If you feel like this feedback helped you / gives you a good review, feel free to leave a bitcoin at : 1BoeLensDrVHLjYW4pPab5UENKBuDupfKt as you said in a post. If you need any further testing / another feature reviewed tell me and I'll do it. I can also later on possibly post about a withdrawal, if I sell some bitcoin in the future. For right now I'll juts keep those 2.70$ in my account =).
EDIT: If anyone with a Dwolla account wants to help fill this review by confirming withdrawals work and wants a free $2.70, feel free to hit me up a PM.
