It's as good as any other BTC exchange I guess. I mean, it hasn't closed down and run off with everyone's funds. That's about all you can hope for these days. I also have no problems with BTC-e.com, but I only day trade there. I don't connect my personal banking info to it. Instead I use Coinbase.com for that intimacy. YC-backed, also very much enjoyed this video[1] and they're San Francisco based which is very close to me so I can stage my own protest if my funds disappear. :)
Excellent! thanks a lot.
Edit: So, you say you didn't submit bank info to Bitstamp, so how do you deposit the USD to get BTC? do you just directly move funds from Coinbase to Bitstamp in USD, then buy BTC at Bitstamp then move them back to CB?
Oops, sorry. I actually don't have direct experience with them.
I personally only use coinbase and btc-e. Other random folks I see online[1] seem pleased with bitstamp and I've never heard anything bad from coworkers who are into bitcoin that I talk to. My point-of-view on these bitcoin exchanges is pretty much they're all great unless you can find an overwhelming amount of negative opinions about them... or they're brand new with no history to judge them on.
