I use a combination of Bitstamp and BTC-E.

I trade on both exchanges, but when there is a point that I need to make a BTC to fiat cashout, I will transfer the coins to Bitstamp, if they aren't already there, and then request a cashout.

Not that I don't trust BTC-E enough to request a cashout, but Bitstamp always managed to process EUR cashouts in a quick fashion.

No its not 30%. It all depends on what part of the world you are, and what method you are using. For me, I just pay around 4-5% of the bitstamp price, and it is much convenient for me, as they are protecting me with an escrow, and I can trade with reputed sellers.

Yes it is 30% except for cash at bank or wire transfers. Western Union, Moneygram, Payza, Paysafecard, PayPal, Gift Cards can be from 10% to 30%.

OKPAY, WebMoney and Perfect Money are 5% to 15% over market value. Prices are bloody terrible for all forms of payment. It's a huge RIP-OFF!

And the big sellers on localbitcoins are obviously laundering the coins they received from selling drugs, committing fraud and other criminal activities.



Your last sentence is a bit exagerated because  they could sell coins just for profit.

Localbitcoins is a huge RIPOFF if you ask me. The asking price of bitcoins is anywhere from 5% to 30% over market value.

I don't care how anonymous it is to buy bitcoins on localbitcoins I will not pay up to 30% above market rate for coins. It's fucking extortion!

my favorite bitcoin exchange :

1. vip.bitcoin.co.id
   >> this is the biggest bitcoin exchange in my country (Indonesia) available market BTC/IDR, BTC/DOGE, BTC/LTC, BTC/XPY, BTC/NBT



I wonder if trading altcoins in country specific exchanges is any good, as they will never have the  traffic or volume that the international or main exchange sites have.

I agree. Besides that, huge % of users are illegal exchangers, working with questional (if not say more) money. I can't understand people risking to be involved in money laundering etc, and the biggest question - for what?

some people can't buy bitcoins elsewhere. for them localbitcoins is the only option.
then again, i can imagine paying around 2 or 3 percent above market rate if that's your only option to buy btc.
anything over 10 percent is insane.

That depends on what to consider "exchange" Smiley

When I need to buy/sell bitcoins, my choice is http://www.247exchange.com they are very reliable and fast, and the best thing is that they accept credit cards with rather small fees!

When I need to trade, I use some trading platform - currently I am searching for a favorite one... hope will find it soon)

Have to stick with Coinbase for BTC/USD.   It works but still don't keep much on there.  For alts. I really like Banx.io It used to be Atomic-Trade but recently merged with Banx.  Much faster and secure than Polo/Bittrex.   It's been around for over  a year and has never been hacked.  Another plus is it's licensed/registered in the US.

I used to like Poloniex the most.
But since they seemed to me that they started to increase some of the fees, I am just looking for a good replacement.

Then you should go for bit-x or btc-e [but not recommended that much]

Thanks, but they don't have (yet?) the altcoins I also play with.
Bittrex has too many coins and I've also read some odd news at some point.
HitBtc looks good, but .. I am still searching.
Will keep an eye on this thread, may help me too.

You can recomend bit-x which coin do you want to see in bit-x, they have a recomendation page. They will add it for you

I actually sent an email to the support asking a few questions, but after a week still no response.

I guess crappy support team for bit-x.

Nah, it's fine. Found another exchange who is fast, trusted and gives me a good rate.
Although it's certain that it won't scam me because it's an Australian company and provides an ABN, and there's numerous positive feedbacks, but who has used igot.com before?

Thanks

Would you think that site the marco is advertising is scam you? The site that is giving away more than 20 btc every month on sig campains ?

kraken, for the fee and the speed

Is Kraken like Circle?
Deposit/Withdrawal from the company? or do you have to look/create offers?

No, it isn't. kraken is different from circle, you should deposit eur with a simple bank trasfer and after create the buy order.

The Kraken is good if you live in the EU in a country that uses the Euro because it does SEPA bank transfers for a tiny fee (something like 9 cents). If you live outside the EU you have to pay the going rate for a normal wire transfer which is a hell of a lot more.

Can you reverse a transaction on coinbase?

A bitcoin transaction is irreversible , so it doesn't matter which "wallet" you are using. When you send your bitcoin and after the tx has received at least 1 confirmation , then it is gone.

I like coinbase now. Wasn't the favvourite before, but now with multisig and all, it is the favourite for me.

How long does it take to register at coinbase and what kind of ID do they want? Most exchanges I have used want a high resolution passport scan and either a scan of a recent bill or bank statement.

How does the escrow work, and what happens if someone tries a chargeback for a bank transfer? I assume local bitcoins only holds bitcoins in escrow, and not money. I skimmed through a few horror stories about chargebacks on the internet and it put me off.

I used to know that bank transfers are irreversible in nature. You should not accept any reversible payment method against bitcoin.
