Topic: Your Current Fav Exchange (Excluding Mtgox) (Read 1605 times)
I trade on 2-3 exchanges btc-e, bitstamp and of course mt gox.
I like Bitfloor. Never used Bitstamp before.
Is BitFloor completely out of favor at this point? I was considering picking up some bitcoin and was going to use BitFloor. The free transfer via ING P2P, and the "get paid to provide liquidity" both seemed like good incentives over bitStamp and CoinBase that each require various fees to get fiat into the exchange and charge exchange fees.
EDIT: As of 2013-04-17 BitFloor has ceased all operations.

Bitstamp. Reliable and fast deposits/withdrawals because of SEPA.

I prefer Coinbase to provide my exchange functionality
To clarify: I can buy the coins with no money in my account. Lock in the price. Then transfer the money in 3-4 days later?Or does them money have to be in the account to buy?
The Frenchies over at bitcoin-central.net seem okay.
I prefer Coinbase to provide my exchange functionality (note: I didn't call it an exchange, as I'm sure that would invite flames).
Why?
1) I can buy 1000BTC at any time, instantly locking in the price. I receive the BTC within 3 days. My USD stays in my FDIC-insured bank account until it is needed
2) All the delays are low variance. The convoluted transferring of BTC and USD here and there (ie Dwolla & Gox) can take 3-30 days -- I don't want that uncertainty.
PS. I am in USA, so YMMV

I've never traded with an exchange except Mtgox. But I hate being beholden to one company. With that in mind...
If you weren't using Mtgox, what exchange would you use and why?
