Everything depends on your country of residence...
I would avoid Poloniex because of ongoing issues, and Coinbase which is too difficult to use. kraken and bitcoin.de are good.
Topic: What Exchange do you use? (Read 1903 times)
I use CoinDeal cryptocurrency exchange . I think this is my favorite one.
I encourage you to read some articles at their site or opinions. What I like the most is their contact with community, users can vote for new coin which should be available there. So, you can be a part of their activity. Also, some time ago they announced that they giveaway free tokens to their users.

Can try using ABCC. It's easy to use and 0% commission. So it's worth a try!
ive been using poloniex for almost years and i dont have issue 
.. just withdraw small amount per day thats my technique XD
.. just withdraw small amount per day thats my technique XDHow long do you find the withdrawals take over at Poloniex? Also, do they allow you to buy currency with a credit card without going through tons of verification? Sometimes it's nice to buy some currency and not have tons of hassle and delays.
No. Poloniex does not allow you to buy through credit card at all. It is a strictly altcoin only exchange. The closest thing you're going to get with poloniex in terms of fiat currency is USDT which is probably an altcoin in itself.
I personally use Coinbase with my purchases because they usually have the best rates for credit cards and the process is instant. However if it's altcoins then i'm going with bittrex because they are the #1 altcoin exchange behind polo at the moment, and imo much better than polo actually.
Whatever exchange you choose, ensure that it has a good reputation and don't store any sum of coins continuously on your exchange account. It is very likely that an exchange will go scam one day.
Thanks for the info, I'll sniff it out

Maybe in the beginning Coinbase was a good exchanger, but as I noticed all bitcoin and crypto currencies services began to change their politic and not all of that changes in a good side.
From the most beginning I use YoBit. I like it, because of there is moment (i really didn't get why so) they allow no fee cashing out. I heard a lot about that fact that almost all wallets raised their transaction fees. But YoBit takes just 0.2% for the exchange and free cashing out. I am micro earner and in fact I pay very few there to get my money

Localbitcoins is my preferred exchange for buying/selling Bitcoins.
For altcoins, it's Poloniex and Kraken

i use poloniex even if i know it slow but fund always send to my wallet ..
It is a good subject to talk about and share our experince ..
So far I have used Poloniex.com , Cryptopia.co.nz , localbitcoin.com , poswallet.com ( but it is changing its changer status ) and bartermyfund.com ( it is very straightforward )
I have never had any problem with them. I would recommend all.

I started using Poloniex recently, but had a bad experience. Had a withdrawal that never made it to the wallet, it took forever for them to respond to me (my coins did come a day later). I probably won't use them again, but besides that, I guess they were OK.
The Coinbase site doesn't work for me all the time
I preferred not having to submit so much info to Coinbase, Poloniex was so much faster to start using.

In the past I used Localbitcoins, but today I used Coinbase for the first time.. As far as my experience goes, I have a valid passport and their verification system verified it in a few minutes, but it was a fuss getting the picture uploaded as their system wouldn't always send a text to my phone with the link, so I had to resend it a few times. Once account was verified, which was within 40 min of account creation, i was then able to purchase the coins right away using debit card, and had the coins confirmed in my Electrum light wallet, within about 5-10 minutes.
All in all, coinbase was acceptable for how fast i got things verified and sorted, but I did not like how they had an unchangeable sending fee.

The issue on hand you have to worry is the long verification time that is happening with all exchangers.
I will recommend that you use decentralised exchangers with no verification process for now.

Hello community! I mostly use Poloniex, but recently joined Bittrex. Sometimes I also use YoBit, as required. Prefer Poloniex because of huge volumes and nice interface.
I like bittrex the most, but poloniex has the biggest volume. I use bitstamp to get bitcoins themselves and then use about 4-5 smaller other exchanges from time to time. But mainly just bittrex and poloniex as those 2 are the biggest exchanges for altcoins
So far I've used Coinbase, Bittrex, and Cryptopia. I think next I will try Poloniex.
I use yobit, novaexchange, cryptopia, tradesatoshi and that's what I can think of now. I started with yobit the rest came around and I gave them a chance and have been using hem ever since. Sometimes an exchange doesn't support a coin I collect so I use many exchanges to solve this problem.
I very much like Poloniex. It is huge, with high volume trading and the great lending option to get interest from your BTC quite safely.
I also like cryptopia a lot. There are altcoins that you can only trade there and chat is quite fun.

try out gemini, they are professionals in a sea of amateurs
Before buying my first Bitcoin, I did some research as to what would be the "best" Bitcoin Exchange for me. A number of people, books, and websites recommended Coinbase, and I eventually decided to go with them.
Now, it seems that everyone I talk to says to stay away from Coinbase (though, before so many people were recommending it). I am not that happy with their services; their limits are too low and raise too slowly. For instance, I need to spend $1,000+ in order to raise my limit via debit card, but the max I can buy per WEEK is $10 worth of Bitcoin. That is insane.
Anyway, could you guys please tell me what exchanges you use?
I even hesitate to ask because I am sure there are many people with an agenda who will simply push their exchange, and I won't end up with a good answer. But I am that a number of the replies to this post will be genuine and from people that want to help.
Thanks,

I use Liqui, Poloniex, and cryptopia, never had an isue with them..
Just use Poloniex, Bittrex, or Kraken. They are good exchange. Don't use Coinbase. They are selectively scamming their customers there and have a poor customer service. I often use Poloniex. It has a mobile view which is i need because i only use mobile. But often have a lot of problems recently like withdrawing problem and delays on orders. Don't know why. Maybe the large volume of traders there that causes the problem or maybe an attack on their system.
Try out BTC-E
It looks really from 90-s, however it works.
I am just not sure the accept credit cards. If its the only suitable payment method for you - take a look at Cex

Most people here have listed altcoin exchanges like bittrex and poloniex but if you are only buying bitcoin then these won't work. Everyone will say something bad about any and every exchange so you can only try them and see if you personally like them.
I personally go with bitstamp and have never had any problems at all but if you are depositing with a card you will find hefty fees, but a bank transfer is free.

For altcoins I use Poloniex, Bittrex, Hitbtc - these are the most technology advanced crypto exchanges and liquidity is there.
For USD/EUR i use Kraken and CoinBase (GDAX).

In market there so many exchange sites which offer their service. I have been used a limited number of exchange site based on their reputation and service quality. Here, I'll like add poloneix, bittrex, liqui something like this. You can take their service without any reason.
I like BTC-e but I cant sell my ZEC there. Why do you think they no support zcash because its very big right now. I am mining zcash with contract but need somewhere to get it changed to BTC. The site I use converts to BTC but does not do it well. Hopefully zcash keeps going up. Long live ZEC
Currently most of the exchanges ask for ID proof, and since I am not very comfortable in providing the same, things are getting a little bit difficult here. Fortunately, BTC-e is still not asking for any ID or residence proof. So I am using them for BTC-Alt trading. And for converting my BTC to fiat, I am using the Localbitcoins exchange.
Are you talking about a trading exchange? Right now, I am using Bittrex though many of my friends are using Poloniex which is quite good also.
Now since you talked on Coinbase which is a wallet service provider, I am right now using CoinPayments and our local Coins.Ph here in my country.

Thank you for all of the replies, guys.
I was looking into Kraken, but I am not very comfortable with having to give them my social security number. I will check out a few of the others mentioned.
I would like to use Localbitcoin, but I am not familiar with many of the payment methods one can use; WebMoney, advcash, Payeer, and so on. I see some people except Paypal, but their prices tend to be much higher, for some reason (currently all Paypal prices (in USD) are well over $3000/BTC, aside from one guy).
Which payment method do you prefer?

There are several exchanges where you can get bitcoin. I use exchanges like Localbitcoin, Unocoin.
Localbitcoin is a best way to purchase and sell bitcoins i guess.
I have also kept a personal dealer in contact with me. Whenever i require small amount bitcoins, i purchase from him.

I'm currently using Poloniex, SimpleFX, HitBTC, Kraken, Bittrex, ALFAcashier, ShapeShift.io and BTC-E. I used to trade interchangeably between these exchanges. I do that to see which exchange offers lower fees to their transaction and also if the other exchange hasn't listed the coin I wanted to trade.
Now some of the traders I know referred me to Coinigy as it has a list of 45 supported bitcoin exchanges and their available features. Plus, you can make your trade/exchange there using your smartphone, which is very convenient. I haven't tried it, though, but looking forward to checking it in the future if I have more coins to trade or exchange.

From my experience, POLO is pure cancer. My funds have been locked up there for over 21 days. No one answer support tickets. They tell you to email support@whatever and nobody answers that either. They won't let me withdraw my funds for no reason. Just stuck at "awaiting approval". Seriously consider not using them.
Coinbase has never done this to me.
For trading and using an exchange HitBTC/Cryptopia/BTC-E all have worked flawlessly for me. Cryptopia I messed up something and they actually helped me within 4 or 5 days and recovered my funds, they are great.

a lot of complaints on Coinbase because they are most popular, normal stuffYou can choose from bitstamp, kraken, btc-e, poloniex and bitfinex. Most popular ones
