.. Coins appeared; not sure what happened or whether it was even my mistake; so better not to blame litebit.eu for that ..

Oh, I totally agree on that. Surprised how easy ppl invest their money in all kind of coins without knowing the details. But to be fair, and you explain this already, getting really a grip on a coin and its technology and commercial benefits takes time and require a certain level of understanding of technology. Guess that's the reason why the mass is following media advice. There are many examples out there where good product marketing can positively influence demand.

For all the long term traders here; could you substantiate your coin choices in a fact-based way? With fact-based I don't mean "they have a great dev team", rather technological and commercial advantages. I totally miss this discussion here; most just throw in names of coins but hardly explain why they think that this particular coin will have a fruitful future.   

First of all, hello to everybody, is my first post here and I'm pretty new to the subject of coins, trading etc.

To add my experience with litebit.eu here: I use litebit.eu now roughly since a week and bought viacoins and litecoins. Both transactions went quick, within like 10minutes or so. Bought both times during a regular weekday though. Some coins are not always available, they come in like batches of xx available coins. Shortly after I bought my litecoins they run apparently out of stock. Need to say I did level1 verification right from the beginning, which is entering my phone number.

I compared the transaction fees with other sites and litebit seems more on the "high" side. Fixed fee of 0.40Eur cents to buy and an internal exchange rate for coin-> litebit coin -> euros. Didn't try it yet so not totally clear for me.
