Title: Mt Gox or TradeHill?
Post by: Shinto on February 13, 2012, 01:32 am
This is a question of security, anonymity, UI, ease of access, fees, and speed of transactions.
Speaking from pure speculation as of now, considering I have not yet used either one...

Personally I give TradeHill:
8 - Security
7 - anonymity
5 - UI
8 - Ease
4 - Fees
? - Speed

Mt Gox:
6 - Security (Only because they do have a nice Yubikey option.)
5 - anonymity
7 - UI
8 - Ease
6 - Fees
? - Speed

Tell us what you think?

From my experience with MtGox you have zero anonymity.  You now have to provide state-issued identification in order to transfer funds or Bitcoins out of your MtGox account.  The last news article I read about MtGox reported how they were cooperating very closely with the DEA.

I've used both. Tradehill is way fucking better. MtGox still has $400 in my funds held up because they want private documents on me.

^ditto lol
I kinda want to look at BitInstant but I don't care for the fees.
Is cryptoxchange any good?
