Hey all im stuck in this newbie forum for now hoping to get out. Does anyone know of any bitcoin exchanges with reasonable fees? Bitinstants fees seem a little high recently. Ive used exchanges such as bitfloor and ziggap when they were still around but im at a loss for a source of coins now. Thanks in advance for the help!

Where in the world are you? I'm in the UK and it's a pain trying to buy BTC as none of the banks to my knowledge even acknowledge BTC's existence! FWIW, I found an article suggesting using www.virwox.com to exchange £ (paid through paypal) to Linden $, then Linden $ to BTC. Not an elegant solution, and quite costly with the fees (Paypal + 2 exchange fees) but it worked straight away. There's small limits to begin with, but it might be what you're looking for. Of course, if anyone else knows a better way, please let me know! |

definitely btc-e, but its mostly about finding an exchange that trades your currency. In Australia, there are bitpiggy and bitinnovate, both are reliable.

I use https://coinbase.com in the us to cash out bitcoins to my bank account. Very low fee and it posts usually 3 days or so to my account, pretty fast. I use BTC-E for trading, put everything in BTC and send that over to coinbase. Plus the BTC price on coinbase is usually a bit higher than it is on BTC-E so nice little bonus there. |

I am curious as to find out why is it so difficult to buy coins there in england? why does the bank need to know you are buying bitcoins? |

It's not that the banks need to know, it's just that there isn't a mechanism in place to exchange directly from GBP to BTC. Everything I've seen is from USD or EUR to BTC. So us Brits have to suffer the pain of 2 exchange fees, or do an international bank transfer which negates any profit we might otherwise make.  If anyone has a better way, please let me know! |

btc-e.com if you don't mind the troll... err chatbox I typically ignore the trollbox - although it is good for a laugh every now and then. |

You may want to spread your funds across 2 or 3 exchanges rather than just use the cheapest. Exchange failures are quite common and it is far better to lose access to 33% of your funds than 100%.

I agree spreading funds to different exchanges is a good idea. BTC-e is the most entertaining. I use Bitstamp cuz it has Ripple which I think is going to be an important tool in transferring funds/credit in the future.
