I use bitstamp mainly, as we know pretty much nothing about btc-e and I don't feel comfortable sending my money to them. Smiley

I've heard many problems from BitStamp customers saying that they suddenly had their funds frozen and were forced to complete a long questionnaire to get the funds back, supposedly because of AML/KYC. Have you ever experienced that?

I use BTC-E and Bitfinex, although I prefer BTC-E. Although some worry because we really don't know anything about who the owners are, it is the most professionally run and has the best trading engine -- no lag, like Bitstamp. Bitfinex is decent, but you run into API issues and lag sometimes.

I have used localbitcoins and btc-e.
The major reason is that I don't need to wait for the verification on them.

I consider Kraken to be the safest and most reliable.

Will give a try to ANXPRO.

ANXPRO is probably one of the best. I am currently verifying my information there, but so far, so good. There is good security and professional looking interface.

Alright, thank you again.
But I stand by my initial opinion, this doesn't seem to make sense, because someone that deposited bitcoin, exchanged for fiat, then back to bitcoin and withdrew bitcoin, is in an identical position of anyone that only deposited and traded alt coins: both can not launder money. the fiat they traded is in your hands and will never leave the exchange by their withdraws.
You will lose many traders that do trade daily, but that don't want to withdraw fiat and do like privacy.
But it's your decision, it seems you are doing ok, good luck.

I agree with you, but I'm just an employee. I have suggested this to my superiors.

Sorry, but now I ended confused: "depositing and withdrawing alt coins does not require verification", but if I deposited bitcoin, traded it to fiat, then traded fiat back to bitcoin and want to withdraw my bitcoins again: do I have to verify?

what exchange are we talking about? in my experience, on bitstamp, btc-e and bitfinex, and cryptsy as well, as long as you are not depositing/withdrawing fiat, there are no KYC limitations. you can deposit coins, trade in and out of fiat, and then withdraw coins. never had a problem.

We are talking about ANXPRO, a 0% Fee bitcoin exchange based in Hong Kong, which supports SEPA deposits and withdrawals.

ah, my mistake. i read through the posts, but apparently missed that. nothing to add from me -- i am not familiar with ANXPRO (or any Asian exchanges). as you were! Grin

It's in English, but just based in Hong Kong. Feel free to try it out, you can trade only in cryptocurrencies if you want.
As I mentioned, 0% Fee, so there's no harm in trying it, isn't there? :p
ANXPRO.

I can see you got a "ANXBTC Trusted Forum Manager" in your signature, so are you the owner (co-owner) or a staff of the site?

No, I'm not an owner or co-owner in any way, shape or form, although it'd be nice if that were true, lol.
I'm an employee whose job is to answer customer queries and promote the exchange. Feel free to check it out.

Yes, that would require verification, because you traded to fiat.
If you deposit Bitcoins and trade them to Litecoins, for example, you don't need to verify.
