Is it safe to send funds from local bits coins strait to an exchange ?

[Si H]

Hi, just about to buy some bitcoins. but im wondering if its safe to send my bitcoin from localbitcoins strait to my bittrex or bitfinex account ?
I am thinking it might save me a few £$ if its safe to do so. Thanks :-)

I haven't tried this before but I know that some exchanges ask you specifically to only send coins from an address that you own. Not mining rewards, etc. To be real sure, I would advise you to contact your exchange, ask them directly and then it would be interesting if you could share their answer

Thanks for the reply :-) I'll see if i can get any info.

You're welcome. Sharing such info can always be useful to others. And exchanges usually answer support questions like this one soon. Good luck.
