Find a different exchange, trade there, never MtGox again.
Oh mighty wise one, do you have a suggestion for a better exchange to use?
The first bitcoins I bought were on TradeHill, because they allowed easy Dwolla deposits and I thought MtGox seemed sketchy (this was right around the time of the big MtGox hack and rollback etc). Tradehill went away, so I stopped using them.
I then used MtGox, now I have an account there and a small amount of money there, so unless another option is clearly better I will keep using them because it is familiar. They do have a record of developing very long lag times during high volumes of trade, so I would be interested in an exchange that does the whole exchange thing better.
I tried putting up an ad on localbitcoins, but never got any response.
I used Coinbase to buy some bitcoin, but their daily limit is obnoxious and they are just selling bitcoins, it is not the same as trading on a market.
What is the best option, or do we still need somebody to make the ideal exchange site?
I have been very satisfied with CampBX of late (im in the US so I cannot speak of their service levels in other countries and currencies) When I transfer to USD to dwolla it is virtually instant.
I have been trying CampBX. I agree, transfers to and from CampBX using Dwolla are a breeze (If only it didn't take 4 days for transfers between dwolla and my bank ... but that is just the limitation of the legacy banking structure). I am still unsatisfied. CampBX website is extremely slow, even slower than MtGox. They do not seem to have the lag on orders like MtGox does, once you get an order placed it executes pretty much immediately. But placing the order is soooo slow, each page load takes 10-30 seconds, and you have to confirm everything twice. The CampBX website layout is also poorly done, I would like to have all the information in one place, but they have a separate page for every bit of information, so to check anything you need to wait for another 15 second page load. I didn't actually time the page loads, but that is my guess of how long they take on average. The main page is also obnoxious with the giant moving graphic splash, instead they should have a much smaller news section and the current market information.
