Exchanging BTC > ETH & ETH > BTC

[bill gator]

I don't know if this is something there is a need for. I just wanted to share something that I can do fairly easily if anybody else has obstacles in their way. If you have BTC or ETH and would like ETH or BTC I can happily exchange between the two for you.

I'd like to offer a minimal fee service, just enjoy having something to do that might earn me something while helping someone.

We can probably keep it simple and we'll build from suggestions and lessons learned.

Code:

Have : BTC / ETH
Amount :

Want : ETH / BTC

We can discuss publicly, or through PM whichever better suits your needs. Looking forward to see how this goes. I can escrow funds if anybody is uncomfortable (meaning I put my funds in an escrow while we deal, so your funds are secure), I don't have endless funds, but I'm open for negotiation.

There are a million and one exchanges to use to do this, why should anyone use you? and I do not think you are trust worthy enough to be an escrow but everyones gotta start somewhere right. But jumping into escrowing is not the way to go

[bill gator]

I meant I would be willing to put my funds in an escrow while we are exchanging, in order to assure the customer's safety. I was not attempting to say that I was trying to act as an escrow.

Most exchanges want KYC documents, most exchangers around here have very high minimums and fees. I'm just offering something for the users that feel like they're without a solid option or interested in finding a lower fee (as long as I break even I'm happy).

There are plenty of reasons for users not to want to use a regular exchange.

that is true
also many users do not trust exchanges and do not like to store coins there

Well that is a pretty good idea I guess I don't see what could go wrong, probably save a tad on the fees associated with withdrawling from fees

I've had a couple of people asking me about 1:1 and I'd like to make it clear that this does not interest me. I'm not trying to rob anybody. Free time is rare these days; there only needs to be minimal reward and I'll hook you up.

I'm around, going to be available pretty much for the entire day.
Fill out the form and get exchanged in minutes.

What kind of services are asking or needed your clients to do so that they can earn bitcoins or other alternate coins to you?? But technically it is very difficult to conduct a transaction in currency exchange cause most of the people are pretty much all talks no deal.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. If this were a self-moderated thread, which it probably should be, I would've deleted your post. The service being offered is obvious, I am not trying to earn bitcoins for my clients and it is not difficult to conduct a deal in the currency exchange section. Most people don't post in the currency exchange section unless they are looking to perform a deal. You would be the fringe exception in this case; simply posting in this board just to reply nonsensically.

You're not interested in an exchange, you haven't asked a salient question and you have nothing to offer to the discussion. Please, think before you post.

Exchanging between BTC and ETH can easily be done with a Blockchain.info wallet at a reasonable fee (made up of TX fee + Shapeshift fee).
So basically if your rate is not less than Shapeshift's - its almost pointless.

[Thfulted]

Hi, do you exchange BCH for btc?
If you do I have 0.3 btc and I want to buy bch

[bill gator]

Blockchain.info ...

Just about anyone with half a brain refuses to use Blockchain.info and many people have their reserves about Shapeshift. It might be pointless to somebody willing to use these horrible services, but I'd be willing to match the rate as long as I am not losing money. There is flexibility in my rates, and currency exchangers are well aware there is competition. I'm not looking to become rich, I'm just trying to offer users another option for exchanging their coin.

I could exchange BTC for BCH, at least I've never had a problem making that exchange in the past. If you are interested in getting this handled ASAP, please shoot me a PM and we'll get this moving.

Exchanging bitcoin is not that difficult so why should we leave the ones we are already used to and start dealing with you?

A fair question. I am not suggesting that you leave any exchange situation that is currently working out for you in every way. That would be a very tough sell, because some exchanges have everything an individual is looking for. I'm just trying to offer another option, for anyone that would find it more convenient, useful, secure or any other adjective they prioritize. For example, there are tons of users that are not interested in using big company exchanges due to the horrors of victims past. There have been tremendous security leaks, there are sovereign citizens that are not interested in having their information transmitted to any government agencies. Bitcoins and dollars have been lost by the billions from disappearing exchanges that have seemed reliable and secure, or that go bankrupt and begin holding all withdrawals.

The list goes on and on for reasons why someone would choose to use an individual as an exchange for their coin rather than any particular company. The simple centralization of exchanges is enough to scare away a solid portion of Bitcoin users.

Essentially, if you think that it might work to your benefit then I encourage you to contact me and negotiate a deal. As long as I'm not losing money, I will do it for you is basically my mindset; that alone is very different from any exchange, individual or corporation. Consider me a volunteer exchanger, if you pay me a reasonable rate along the way I appreciate it, but it's mostly just to give me another thing to do.

please is it actually secure to exchange BTC or Ethereum with fiat currency online? if it is secure, please what are the procedure? Thanks guys

[bill gator]

It can be secure, but as I have told other people in the past you must define what you mean by secure. I have no clue whether you are speaking about anonymity, if you are speaking about financial security or any number of other concerns. You have to clarify what you are asking or else I am simply guessing.

[bill gator]

My internet has been extraordinarily crappy today, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to process this for you as soon as possible. I'll send you a PM in a few minutes and we'll make a deal! Pick an escrow, as well, as long as they are reputable I will have no problem.

[hugeblack]

Are you talking about my post or something else?
I saw you connected but did not reply so I assumed you did not want to make the deal (posted it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3195858.0)
If I didn't close it, you can pm me

[bill gator]

Yes, I was actually referring to your post, but by the time my internet allowed the post to go through apparently you had deleted your request and thrown it in it's own thread. I would love to fulfill this for you, but I cannot access my wallets or exchange accounts due to the extremely restricted internet access I am currently dealing with. I apologize for being a goober and having issues the minute you needed an exchange. If you are still in need once I have things sorted, then I will gladly take care of it for you.

[retampan]

Such a great services for those who hate the exchange fees. Do you have any Telegram or Skype to contact you easily when I need to exchange it soon?

I suggest you have a VPN in order to left the restricted internet access behind.

How would a VPN speed up my internet? I am extremely confused, because either I have no clue what a VPN is, or you have no clue what my problem is (even though I've explained it multiple times).

I do not use Telegram, and I do not use Skype. If you are interested in contacting me you can do so through PM or within this thread.

Considering temporarily closing down shop, since my internet has rendered me unable to access just about any of my wallets, exchanges, computers, programs, etc.
