I would have voted for campbx if it was a choice.
I want to like places like bitstamp, but practically speaking, without either Dwolla, ACH, or US domestic wire transfers, I can't get money out of the exchange.

If there were any exchange matching all 3 of these properties, it would be my first pick:
1) It has decoupled its trading platform from its web platform, so that a DDOS only brings down the public-facing website, and doesn't majorly lag all trading
2) It is smart enough to pause trading when they're unable to process the orders they already have
3) It can prevent bots that place 100 micro trades/minute from swamping their system, if it's something they cannot handle
I don't think MtGox has any of these. Not sure if any others do.
For number 3, all they have to do is add a fixed cost and lower the percentage cost. Make the fixed cost 50 cents in USD equivalent in btc. That will discourage tiny orders. 1) It has decoupled its trading platform from its web platform, so that a DDOS only brings down the public-facing website, and doesn't majorly lag all trading

I vote for bitcoin-24; really awesome interface and site overall. Too bad apparently its a one man show, if he had a team, the site would be ace.
Yeah, I saw a personal name in the info tu add funds in Euro. So you are sending the wire to a fisical person or some kind of solo trader... that's pretty amateur. The web looks outstanding.

Coinbase is a direct BTC merchant not an exchange. But so far, they seem to have acted the most responsibly and have not any any problems that I know of.
yep not to bad but some tinfoil hat told be it was ownded by a big bank??? anyways im a big idiot and just bought 10 more coins at 108 each. stupid stupid stupid!!!
No it's a Silicon Valley startup and they got venture capital from Y-Combinator, a VC in Silicon Valley.
One of the owners was a former Goldman Sachs trader. That doesn't mean Goldman Sachs owns Coinbase. Coinbase is an independent startup.

Thanks for the heads-up on Bitcoin-24.
I am very happy with Bitstamp: The only outages they have suffered happened after MtGox , and at least they show some awareness of their surroundings: They have hedged against Cyprus style confiscation in Slovenia by taking the form of a British firm. And its nice design makes it easy to trading on an smartphone.

BitPay seems to be by far the most competent company in the Bitcoin eosystem. I wish they'd open an exchange.

Bitpay seems like the most competent company in the ecosystem. Why don't Bitpay open some kind of exchange?
MtGox. Because people don't learn.
bitfinex .. 0.1%fee

I'm not sure exactly. I hope they are separate.
Also, what about TradeHill?

Or CampBX, they've been around forever.

I voted Bitstamp just because it's the only one I've heard nothing bad about, but what about CoinLab?
Didn't CoinLab merged with MT.Gox?

Come on. Bitcoin-24 is already the second biggest exchange. It works, you don't have to supply an identity, it has no fees for trading and it has low fees and fast transfers (in europe at least).
