~ Thanks mate, 0t3p0t! Well, i am not also an expert into trading but I decided to open this kind of topic for everyone to be educated about the differences of exchanges. Thank you for appreciating my work, i promise to give the very best that I can to update this thread and hopefully I am able to help others that are new to trading or want to know more other exchanges, etc. I am also open for suggestions and opinions for this thread so if you have any of those, just comment it here and I will update it on my list! GodBless!



~ I will add these informations you've posted here for a wider explanation of the said exchanges. Thank you very much Carmen03, for having time to read my thread. I am also thinking to put a little review also about the exchanges, to emphasize the what kind of coins do they exchange and if do they have limits or what are the min and max fees, etc. Soon, i'll try to update it.



~ Thank you very much Lucius, for making time to read my post. I didn't knew that NiceHash was hacked. I should immediately removed that from my list so that other people won't be directed to that mining service anymore. Thanks for adding more exchanges and absolutely yes! I will be glad to add them on my list as soon as possible. Thank you again.



~ My bad. I'm still trying to find more exchanges and I am also trying to add more details per exchange, like about their min and max deposits or withdrawals, etc. I hope that you'll stay tune with my thread for more updates. Thank you alyssa85!



~ Thanks krauzzer02 for praising my work. I think it's not that much yet and I'm still trying to learn more also about this topic. Alright, I will add RADAR RELAY on my list as soon as I can. I also like your suggestion about upcoming and fraud exchanges list but I think I'm gonna save that a little bit later on as I will try to enhance first about these topic but yeah I'm also open with that, maybe soon I'll be adding that here. Thank you!



~ Thank you markj113, for bringing that up! Totally lost my mind for this list, there really so many exchanges out there. I will add this on my list as possible as I could. Again, I am open for more suggestions and opinions for this topic. Thank you!


~ Wow! That really made my day. Thank you Similificator for that uplifting comment of yours. Ofcourse, I will do very well to provide the best list of exchanges and with your support, I am very honored to help the community to know more and to explore also about this kind of topic. Also, i'll try to engage to make a group or a telegram chat for people who have further questions and inquiries related to my thread. Hopefully soon if I can already manage my time. Thanks again.



~ Thank you Alanpigi80, for submitting this here. I will review everything that you gave and put it on this list as soon as possible. Thanks again.

I'm sorry if my thread seems boring and lifeless to read or just to look at it but I will truly try my best to update my lame thread with more shining, shimmering, splendid design and i will try to make it also attractive and give a life to it so that everyone will have a smile on their faces after reading and looking into my thread. Indeed, I will add that on my list ASAP. Thank you LbtalkL and I am grateful to be able to help everyone with my post.




~ Thank you carlisle1 for that astonishing comment of yours. If by chance you have more suggestions and opinions about my thread or the topic itself, you can easily put it here and I will read, review and analyze it, if that will help my thread. Thanks again.

agreed on you mate this is one of the best post in forum,helping more user to know whats the best platform and good options for trading..actually this is the first time ive known all of this matter

Good presentation, Now I have more understanding about Decentralized/Centralized Exchanges. It is a useful guide for a newbie trader like me, you've mention uncommon exchanges that I just heard.  I think you've spent a lot of time in making this thread, thanks for your effort and thanks to your thread many expert will visit and share their knowledge about this particular topic. Some have already mention new exchanges above but I will personally recommend to check this 2 descent exchanges, kucoin and bit-z this 2 is getting more popular. Simplicity is beauty, I knew your thread is fresh and content is more better than the looks but I think it needs some furnish.

In centralized they lack:
Binance which is the absolute best with an incredible 24 hour volume
Poloniex
Cobinhood (will become decentralized)
Bit-z
Hitbtc historical exchange
Mercatox small exchange
Bitfinex big exchange
Huobi
Bibox

In decentralized

token store

At last! someone actually made this kind of thread! great idea man. Thanks for this. I used to have urges to day trade but somehow, I am afraid to do so because I still do not know much about exchanges and what to use. I hope you would make a telegram group chat for this so that a lot can also help in contributing to the updates and that if someone has questions, he or she can freely ask there and have various people who have great experiences already that can help out in clarifying things to that particular person that needs help.

you really deserve a merit so I will be giving you one right now. Again man, thanks for this. It really made me save a lot of time searching through all the things that come out of the search engine and asking for other people's opinions. Hope you continue updating this thread.

You missed BarterDex by SuperNET.

Fully decentralised with atomic swaps

Nice presentation for crypto exchanges, it shows that you took some tremendous effort to work with this. You forgot to add RADAR RELAY a decentralized exchange for ERC20 tokens, easy and convenient to use. Just some suggestions, can you add the upcoming and frauds exchanges from this list so that the readers and newbies are aware of this, your thread design can catch the attention of the newbies who are constantly asking the same questions about this topic, ignoring the existing threads about exchanges.

Nice list. You missed out Openledger, which is a decentralised exchange that is bui8lt on top of the bitshares platform:

https://openledger.io/welcome

It has quite a large number of alts listed as well, making it a decent competitor to livecoin or hitbtc.

You did a very good job with this presentation of cryptocurrency exchanges.Most of users know only for centralized exchanges,and I admit that I have never heard for some of decentralized exchanges that you are mentioning here.I think this will be good reading for every trader.

I see you list NiceHash in your list,but this is mining service(hacked some time ago)and I think such services should not be in the same category with exchanges.

Some exchanges you may add : Binance,Coinbase,LocalBitcoins,Blockchain.info,KuCoin.Additionally to those you mentioned, these 5 are most famous among users worldwide.There is also many others,some of them are less known,many are just local exchanges.

The list of decentralized /centralized exchange :
1.Waves/Dex a decentralized exchange without limits on withdrawals
2.Ether Delta a decentralized exchange for Ether and Ethereum based token.
3.Bisq Open source desktop application that allows you to buy and sell bitcoins in exchange for national currencies or alternative
4.Bitshares a decentralized exchange with a stock of financial services including banking on a blockchain.
5.Open ledger A decentralized exchange based on Bitshares
6.Crypto Bridge A decentralized exchange based on Bitshares blockchain with staking and payout cryptocurrencies

Nice thread mate. I am not into trading but I think your brilliant idea of posting something like this helps me a lot and to those who are new into this industry and planning to get into trading without doing further research about exchanges. I am a hodler of different kinds of tokens and coins and I know that time will come I need to trade them. That is why I need a thread like this wherein professional traders here in this forum would share their thoughts and experiences with the above mentioned centralized and decentalized exchanges which will help me decide which one to try one day.

⚫ What is Decentralized Exchange?

A decentralized exchange is an exchange market that does not rely on third party service to hold customer’s funds. Decentralized exchanges also do not store any coins or private keys on central servers. Thus, hackers have to work significantly harder to track down these assets and the passwords which protect them. Trades here occur directly between users (peer to peer) through an automated process. Participants of a decentralized network have the power over their funds instead of a central authority. The promise of trustless decentralized exchanges is taking the middleman out of the picture altogether thanks to automation. Multi-signature escrow measures and proxy tokens are but a few of the ways such trustless is achieved.

•   User control their own funds
•   Anonymous
•   No hack for central server
•   No risk of server downtime
•   No personal documents to apply or register


Cons:

•   Basic exchange features of currency for a predetermined value
•   Low Liquidity
•   Some exchanges require users to be online in order for an order to be listed and for the trade to take place.



⚫ What is Centralized Exchange?

A centralized exchange is a website that handles the trading of bitcoin to fiat or other cryptocurrencies. An exchange's purpose is to allow you to trade BTC for fiat currency and to other cryptocurrencies (like litecoin, eth, etc, ripple, xmr). Intermediaries such as companies act as middle men in order to facilitate trading on their platform. In exchange for providing this service, intermediaries collect trading fees. In essence, centralized exchanges often act as the first point of contact for newcomers that are interested in trading cryptocurrency. Many individuals seek to have an interface that can connect them to both cryptocurrency trading and the real economy, and centralized exchanges provide that.

★ CounterParty
➡️ The Counterparty DEX works with the Bitcoin blockchain to facilitate decentralized, P2P trading of cryptocurrencies.  Counterparty itself is billed as a “financial platform,” and the platform’s DEX is a natural extension of its mission to create an ecosystem of P2P applications atop bitcoin. The Counterparty ecosystem allows for the creation of new digital assets, and these novel assets can be traded freely upon the Counterparty DEX.

★ EtherDelta
➡️ *Word of caution: EtherDelta was recently acutely compromised, so just be sure to triple check social media out of habit going forward before transacting through the DEX.
EtherDelta has its place, as some users flock there to get Ethereum-based ERC20 tokens that haven’t been listed elsewhere yet. For instance, in recent weeks EtherDelta has had new tokens trading on the exchange immediately post-ICO, helping to establish the very first markets for said tokens.
Etherdelta’s Introduction ⬇️

★ Oasis
➡️ You can only interface with the Oasis DEX through a MetaMask extension account, or through using python, solidity, or web3, so you won’t just be able to pop on and start trading. Some legwork is required.
The project explains itself as a “a liquidity pool on the Ethereum blockchain. [Oasis’ native] Simple Market and Matching Market smart contracts provide for the trustless atomic exchange of ERC20 tokens without third party counter-risk.”
The Oasis DEX joins a growing trend on exchanges that are catering specifically to facilitating trades between Ethereum-based ERC20 tokens.
Oasis Introduction ⬇️
✔️ Oasis is a simple on-chain market for all token assets in the Maker registry; MKR, DAI, ETH and more to follow.
✔️ It aims to handle the backbone of trade and exchange by focusing on being good for large orders, which needs stuff like custom logic and high security, but it can also work as a regular exchange if it has a good GUI that handles the order search and does a human-friendly display of the markets.
✔️ The "Simple Market" implementation doesn't have a matching engine, but someone could of course write a layer on top of it that provides such an engine.
✔️ You'll need to run an Ethereum client, such as Mist, MetaMask or Parity Browser.



★Openledger
➡️ OpenLedger, found online at OpenLedger.info, is primarily a cryptocurrency trading platform. However, the platform also includes an advertising technology called HubDSP, tokens called OBITS, and a crowdfunding system called ICOO. Together, these services are known as the ecosystems of OpenLedger DC.
At its core, however, OpenLedger is a trading platform that lets traders of all levels access cryptocurrency markets. That trading platform is called OpenLedger DEX. OpenLedger is more than just an exchange. It’s a collection of ecosystems. OpenLedger visualizes their ecosystems as like a collection of solar systems in a galaxy (seriously, that’s the visual they use on their official website). OpenLedger DEX – the cryptocurrency exchange – lies at the center of the galaxy. The other OpenLedger ecosystems – like OBITS and ICOO revolve around the platform.
The entire ecosystem is based on the BitShares platform and is powered by Graphene. Overall, OpenLedger describes its collection of ecosystems as “OpenLedger DC”. The DC stands for Decentralized Conglomerate. It’s “the ecosystem of ecosystems”

⚡Bitfinex
➡️  Bitfinex is a cryptocurrency exchange, which also provides margin trading. The leverage ratio may seem low to experienced forex traders, but this is due to wild and unpredictable nature of cryptocurrencies. Bitfinex is operated by iFinex Inc., a Hong Kong based company. Although regulation in the cryptoverse is often times a bit shaky, this company has some history in dealing with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Despie claiming they should not fall under any dervatives regulation, Bitfinex did pay a fine to the CFTC regarding a particular case. Of course, we are talking about the famous hacking scandal. As of November 9 2017, Bitfinex will no longer accept US clients in any form. This is most likely the result of a SEC guideline, which suggests all crypto-exhanges will have to at least be registered in a newly created list.
