Can anyone summarize the different security exchanges for me?

[ripper234]

There is the exchanges category, but not a great lot of information of some of these, and not in a way that's easy to compare. Can someone create a summary article like this one?

Can anyone compare the various exchanges? What are their respective volumes? Which are transparent regarding operation, incorporation, operating team? Do any of them have unique features that other exchanges don't?

What do you mean by 'exchange'?
1)Changing btc in an out of various national currencies?
2)Buying and selling stocks in btc enterprises?

Why would you care about relative volumes and not better deals?

assuming you want infos on cryptostock exchanges:

if i'm not mistaken btct.co / havelock / bitfunder have the largest volume. at least they seem to be rather popular at the bitcointalk forums.

btct.co - run by forum member burnside who also runs litecoin global (LTC based cryptostocks)

bitfunder - run by forum member ukyo

i personally like both, however some forum users prefer one over the other. both offer a nice overview over your assets and dividends and offer 2 factor authentication.

to btct.co you can send your BTC directly, however there have been delays during times where a lot of people tried to get their coins onto the exchange (ie. labcoin ipo).

for bitfunder you have to use weexchange.co which makes it a bit more complicated. there has also been a serious security issue with bitfunder for users that didn't activate 2 factor authentication, however that should be resolved by now.


havelock - never used them.

mpex - run by forum member whatshisname, might be the oldest cryptostock exchange still running in bitcoinia, but forget it unless you want to put down some serious btc. also rather old school compared to the other exchanges.

picostocks - run by tytus, has only a handfull of assets, mainly the 100th project.


be aware that with some assets there can be huge price differences between exchanges, so do your research and make your choice accordingly.

Thanks for the info, yes I was referring to cryptostock exchanges.

What about Litecoinglobal?

Litecoinglobal is the LTC version of BTC-TC. They're operated by the same person (burnside) and functionality is exactly the same, except for the one dealing with LTC-denominated securities and the other solely operating with BTC.
