Title: BTC-E.com reliability?
Post by: gonzo666 on February 07, 2012, 09:37 pm
Hi,
I am looking to use a cc to put bitcoins in my wallet, and I am only familiar w/ Mt. Gox, doing transfers from dwolla; I was wondering if anyone has ever used this site b/c aurora says it is an untrusted connection, but I remember seeing one of the sellers on here recommend it; thanks to anyone who knows about this site.

I've used them twice now and they are my new favorite.

1) They are located in russia which makes them a safe haven so none of that mtgox crap. (mtgox last week locked me out of my account without verification)

2) The price of btc is lower at btc-e than anywhere else I know of online, which is awesome for buying bitcoins.


So lets say you wire money from your bank to btc-e to bitcoins, and the cost to wire money is 4%, but btc-e lets you buy bitcoins at 10% less than the market rate (less than the mtgox rate) so you make 6% in the transaction alone.

i've used them also once, after i've read a pretty good review from a member here...
they have law fees, plenty of methods how to get bitcoins + exchange them, so lets go and get it!

wikipedia, bitcoin, currency exchange

It says Paxum dropped anything related to Bitcoins.  But yet BTC-e still offers Paxum?  Has anyone used paxum with them lately?

Which option is the bank wire option? I would imagine paying with credit card is not as safe.

@mofn

I haven't used the exchanger but the website interkassa.com will allow credit cards and bank wire transfer. From there just interkassa -> btc-e -> your bitcoin wallet -> SR

You can look under the deposit USD section to see a list of exchange websites supported like Paxum.

@holly

I've never used paxum, but I'm curious. I'm considering trying it at least once.
