If you can use kraken, I would recommend that

Otherwise, bitstamp

I bet on the death of Bitstamp killed by European regulations  Grin Now it becomes ennemy no 1
Followed by Btce-e, owned by anonymous russians who can at any moment fly away with all the btc

2014, year of the exchanges  Cheesy

On those metrics, bitstamp is the current frontrunner

For btc/alt's Cryptsy is backed by a real company and will not be running away.
They have some issues but recent customer support was great.


Edit:
4) is unusable from bad/cheap design, system, traffic/liquidity problem
Cryptsy runs a large rack of servers and only gets slow some of the time.
The layout/ navigation is inferior to several others mostly because they have almost 150 markets.

CoinMKT.  Aside from low-traffic (which seems to improving week by week), they're the farthest along in terms of compliance and they've never halted withdrawals to my knowledge.  Once their liquidity picks up just a bit more they'll breakout and become a huge player.  Especially since they offer other cryptos.

IMO, coinbase for US, and bitstamp for non-US.

I've been ripped off by coinbase before, not sure what to do though.

I use bitstamp and I havent had any problems. But I will be vigilant for any bad news that start coming from Slovenia, where it is based.

1) be shutdown by non compliance/govt

2) bankrupt from mismanaging funds

3) get hacked from cheap site or incompetence

4) is unusable from bad/cheap design, system, traffic/liquidity problem

?



Well one thing that will fuck everything up is lawsuits and such. If such things become common you can kiss cryptos good bye.

There is a few good exchanges out there ATM, the issue is the lack of verity on most, let alone volume. Most of em when they see a problem they shut down to fix the problem, unlike a un-named one who lets it keep on going, while no one has a clue wtf is going on, and then blames it on the block chain...
