What kinds of exchanges do you think are trustworthy?

[Beefcake]

I think it depends on what you are looking for in an exchange.  Coinbase is good for beginners and easy to use.  Bitrex has a ton of altcoin options.  Kraken is new but looks solid, but also requires lots of ID use.  There are so many options.  I would suggest just looking at their website, you can find them through google.  Then when you find one that meets your needs search in this forums for their discussion threads.  Or use google to search the forum if the search feature here is still broken.

I joined Poloniex a week or so before they sprung the reg compliance demand with just a couple days notice to pack your bags and leave.

At a $2000 US cap a day I was quite comfortable giving my name and Country to comply. If I ever accumulate that kind of money, and I am making gains as I learn, I'll also move it to my offline wallet. There are no guarantees when it comes to playing the alt trading game.


Beats hell out of Monopoly ;-)

Here is an example of an exchange that is NOT trustworthy, just for reference.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1000505.msg11515905#msg11515905

Run by some guy called "Coldcoiner" from the Hastalk Paycoin forum, and has a couple of sock puppets here named TNTswap and Wunkbone. He constantly screws up and forgets which sock he is posting as.

Here are some red flags with TNTswap:

1. Located in India
2. Owner(s) refuse to identify themselves
3. Is aimed primarily at trading Paycoin and his new Paycoin clone "TNT", which he owns all of at this time.
4. The "exchange" consists of single wallet addresses that customers deposit coins into, and then send an Email explaining which deposits are theirs ( I am not making this up)
5. The address for depositing Paycoin is actually a Cryptsy address. He says this is because the Paycoin QT wallet does not function correctly. Again, I am not making this up.
6. The person running this is extremely mentally unstable and goes off on tyrades when people ask questions.

The list goes on, but I think you get the picture. There are about a dozen threads here filled with this guys lunatic ravings about TNT coin and TNTswap.

BTC-e is the oldest and it has not given any kind problem to his users
I usually use it

i guess only the top 5 exchanges, remove lakebtc(never tried it, it could be ok) and put localbitcoin instead

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=695082.0

but then from these top five, only kraken and btc-e were never compromised ever once(on localbitcoin there was a bad story about a trusted member that has scam once, probably an hacked account)

Thanks for sharing this thread. Though there is something about Huobi need to update, we are glad to see that Huobi is on the list. BitYes is Huobi's BTC-USD platform and ranked as one of the TOP5 USD exchanges now. More info : www.bityes.com

BTC-E is cool. It would be cooler if they find a way to accept paypal as a funding method!
