In my first dealings with Bitcoin I've been using MultiBit, since I had already an account there. However, I've realized Coinbase allows you to have a wallet in another currency, which is pretty good for storing bitcoins.
Right now I'm a bit :censored with Payza since they take so long (1 week) from the moment I make a withdrawal to Bitcoin until it is credited to my account, that I receive (in this case quite a bit less) that I had originally planned.

I think probably Dans or moneymarketing have coinbase accounts, so why not make use of its referral program? ;)

dan, are you a member? If not I'll take it

coinbase is also announcing they are starting to work with paypal(US only at this point) for withdrawals and credit cards for deposits

I think coinbase is going to be the paypal of the BTC market in the future. I mean the useful, worldwide, recognized paypal, not the servant of darkness, business killer paypal  [smiley=lolx.gif]

BTW, at MTV a lot of Euros recommend bitstamp for Europeans.

Check out the tradeview Tab. they do real time trading too apparently. I am a member but haven't verified my account yet. I'm going to build two accounts in case one gets MtGoxed

Actually I'm a member of Coinbase. Is it just one referral level or what?

I didn't know about Bitstamp. How does it compare to Coinbase? In the coinbase site it has a standard buy/sell of 1%, but then there's that GDAX operated by coinbase, where the fees are 0.25%. I'm a little confused about all that.

here is the fee schedule. I think this is what you are looking for

https://www.bitstamp.net/fee_schedule/

I'm not sure this is a straight trading site or not. I haven't done much exploring since I joined and haven't verified with my license yet

just looking around it is a lot more limited than coinbase but you can use a euro bank so that might be better for you and the fees are the only ones they seem to have. you can send BTC between the two sites so that might be the best option

Ah. rui can join under you. In fairness to you, you've been making more of an use of coinbase than I have been. Thanks for asking though.

Thanks Dan.

Whoops.
I was having difficulty opening a Coinbase account, until I realized I had one account already, opened back in April.  :P
No biggie, coinbase allows deletion of accounts, and I had never used it anyway.
