List of CryptoCurrency Exchanges for Reference

[Shogen]

I have used localbitcoins and btc-e.
The major reason is that I don't need to wait for the verification on them.

[Marbit]

I use BTC-E and Bitfinex, although I prefer BTC-E. Although some worry because we really don't know anything about who the owners are, it is the most professionally run and has the best trading engine -- no lag, like Bitstamp. Bitfinex is decent, but you run into API issues and lag sometimes.

I use bitstamp mainly, as we know pretty much nothing about btc-e and I don't feel comfortable sending my money to them.

I've heard many problems from BitStamp customers saying that they suddenly had their funds frozen and were forced to complete a long questionnaire to get the funds back, supposedly because of AML/KYC. Have you ever experienced that?

I signed up with BTC-e last week and just sent in my verification to ANXPro today.  I was a little concerned that I made the right decisions for exchanges then I come here.  I feel better now that I know others are using them with good results.

I tried to verify with BitStamp but they kept returning me down and I could never get an answer as to what the problem was, I tried 3 times then told them I was talking my money someplace else.  I scanned and sent my electric bill and passport and can't imagine what the problem was.  I told them that the only paper bill I get is my electric and that if they checked my passport my middle name is on the electric bill.  Now I'm glad it worked out this way.

I haven't had any issues with mintpal and bittrex lately.

I've been using Bitstamp for a long time now. Mainly because it's fast, cheap and has a good reputation. However, they sure do take their time to answer a support ticket.

It's odd. I've heard this same situation reported many times. I can't imagine what the issue is. I got verified on the first try in a couple days sometime last year. I moved most of my trading to Bitfinex recently, though. But that was mainly just for arbitrage profit from BTC-E. I will move back to BTC-E when the spread between Bitfinex and BTC-E closes up again.

The exchanges I trade on are as follows:
 - Bitstamp: Great volume, great customer service, good reputation.
 - Kraken: Excellent at everything except volume.
 - Bitfinex: Incredible trading options, not a lot of volume and fairly new on the scene.

Actually, Bitfinex has become one of the highest volume exchanges available, and is nearly comparable to Bitstamp. When you think about the fact that Bitfinex market orders can transact with Bitstamp limit orders, Bitfinex is actually quite big. You may or may not have noticed that over the past several days, some of the big market buys on Bitstamp were actually made on Bitfinex.

Bitstamp, although they are getting more and more intrusive and I am afraid they will eventually just start freezing/seizing people's legit funds. may move to btc-e.

[WildCrescent]

Yes BTC-E, fast and discreet

[aircooler]

 BTC-E 
Just someone told me about it when I started!

It's hard to know at this point. A lot of people are speculating that they are just under heavy scrutiny from KYC/AML. I'd spread out across multiple exchanges so if one becomes an issue the problem is minimized.

I use Bitstamp, never had a problem with them. Wire transfer in a matter of days

I heard that as well.
Fortunately, I haven't got that yet, probably because I have been doing small trades from time to time (rather than a huge one-time trade).

[FattyMcButterpants]

i like BTC-E. the interface is not sleek, but it trades fast and does not lag, and i love the trollbox! i've tried bitstamp but i didn't see any reason to stay there. i trade altcoins on crypsty.

[DolanDuck]

I used btc-e and bitstamp, the second one in my opinion is better mainly because of the security and their support,
even if they doesn't answer fast, the help given is perfect (I was refunded 3btc because of a problem I had with ripple)

[nickenburg]

My first exhange I used was, bter.com
The Chinese exhange, to trade some dogecoins.
Then when I got some more coins i had to use alot more like:
Mintpal
Cryptsy

My favorite one is mintpal, they add new coins everyday chosen by the users of mintpal.
Also there site is really nice looking and easy compared to the others.
