A few days ago I made a post about services that you can use for trading between coins without needing to trust exchanges with them or holding them there for too long. You can read about it here.
I was made aware of 2 other sites that I wanted to bring up in this post.
Changelly is another service that offers a lot of tokens to trade in between. It is also one of the few ones that accept credit cards and only take a low fee of 0.5% per trade!
I didn't have the best experience with it when it first was released but looking through reviews lately it seems they have they have improved a lot in the long run!
Here is a list of all the currencies they offer to trade with the prices as of writing this. To stay safe always try it out with a lower amount first if you are going to dive into bigger trades!
I hope to see more of these services popping up in the future to not have most users trust exchanges with their funds!
Living Room of Satoshi is another great service that has been up and reliable for some time.
This one is a bit different as it allows you to do other things such as pay Bills directly with crypto's through their site for Australian residents! It also accepts a fair amount of cryptocurrencies such as Steem!
While doing this you can also be rewarded a point for every $1 spent which you then can trade in for some presents on their site!
They also offer some cool stats showing what bills customers have used their crypto for on their page, check it out!
As always, test them out with a lower amount first before you do any bigger deals! Stay safe out there, Steemians!
That is pretty amazing I feel like they are going to come out with more and more new services as crypto expands
Just wait until a major ecommerce retailer starts accepting cryptos. If Amazon or eBay did this then you'd see an explosion of other retailers follow suit. They would probably have a conversion application to support payouts to vendors as well. Exciting times.
It's just a matter of time
overstock.com accepts bitcoin
I wonder how many people are actually using it though
It doesn’t support IOTA
It might be because IOTA is on the 'Tanlge' and not blockchain?
the amount of fees will play an important part
whats amazing about that ?>???
More alternatives to all this overrated exchanges is sure a welcomed development.
I use changelly. Too bad they removed golos and gbg though.
i have been using changelly and everything went smooth
I'll vouch for @changelly Used them a couple of times and I've always been happy with the service. Any delays I've had were because BTC takes so long to confirm.
Haha the turn your points into presents concept is pretty cool!
I have already used changelly, and yeah they offers very low fees compared to others. But the duration of transaction is a bit long in my experience. The other one is new for me. Thanks for sharing more options.
That's probably due to BTC and ETH having an overwhelmed network right now: http://blocktivity.info/
I thought that it was slow for the mining fee...or am i wrong?
Bitcoin and Ethererum have been having problems dealing with the volume on their networks lately. These networks the exchanges have were designed to do like 40k transactions in a day and now all the sudden its at 200k+ so its taking longer as exchanges especially figure out how to process you. Coinbase is awful with this I had one transaction take 12 hours for bitcoin.
thank you for your explanation!
What!? 12 hours is the longest I've heard of
Look up 0 confirmations in 8 hours....its a reddit post 12 hours was a pretty common delay
Ok, thanks
Awesome! I knew about Changelly but I had no idea about the Living Room of Satoshi... Changelly is rather painless to use, at least in my experience.
More alternatives to Poloniex, good!
I've used changelly several times, as a matter of fact, about 1 hour ago. I did have one issue a few weeks ago that they eventually resolved and I was messaged directly by the CEO. I've recommended them to all my crypto friends
Awesome, sounds like a good company
I want that whisky rocks. !
Both sites seem great, cool features..... It's nice to have alternatives to the conventional exchanges around..... Reading through the comments I see positive reviews about the companies, that is a good sign too
That's pretty cool with the Living Room of Satoshi!
I think Living Room of Satoshi is only for australian users or im wrong?
Thanks for sharing, i was looking for this
by using this site we can trade without converting our steem in Bitcoin. we can buy things with steem. is this service is only for Austarlia or it is world wide please tell me. thanks for sharing such a nice information !!!
I think it isn't for Australia, It is for all world.
wow amazing now we can buy online things and trade with bitcoin it is really amazing thanks for sharing @acidyo

Changelly works the best for me it's fast and has low fees compared to others. Thumbs up!
Many have site can windraw SBD..
I know it turns out there site easier and faster to windraw.
@acidyo

as you know bitcoin is good but there are other powerful currencies exist in the market. litecoin monero zcash dash are already rocking in the market. now its time to find some other good currencies. here is My suggestion check this post to find out top 3 cryptocurrencies for 2018 https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@pedia7/second-crypto-mega-boom-i-believe-we-re-on-the-brink-of-a-second-crypto-boom
Thats a reliable option for your coins and tokens, but they are still online and you still have to trust a third person. The best thing you can do is put it in a hardware wallet so NOBODY but you can get to your coins and tokens.
Thanks you so much for this great info, i have use changelly in the past on minergate cloud mining and it was great.
Great,I appreciate
Thats awesome, the crypto is advancing day by day and I am looking forward to what has to come!
I have been trying to find crypto with low or even 0% exchange fees. Thank you for this.
Hi, pls followback n like my post... Thanks
Changelly is a very good site ...you can trust them with your funds...
Pretty cool alternatives for newcomers!
Oh my God, i didn't know changelly. It is an amazing service! Thank you!
Wow thats amazing. It is very useful to pay services using BTC or Steem in the future. It will change the future and make life more easier for everybody.
I've heard about changelly before but haven't really tried it, I'll do that now
a worldwide site like Living Room of Satoshi would be the greatest thing in the world ! :D
Yes! Let's make it
Can't wait to pay my bills with crypto here in the united shmates!
I used Changelly and the experience was awesome!
@acidyo,you are best👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Have been using changelly for a while now, and though have tried bittrex and poloniex, i would revert back to changelly, i think changelly is more convenient.
Nice, thanks for the review
thanks for the great advice, great choice of currencies for exchange, a good post, I think with me many will agree, good luck
These exchangers can not be compared to our non-interest-bearing exchange. Steem forward! Good luck to you and good.
Thank you for the new info. So I can fully count on these two sites in case i wanted to exchange my funds, it was truly informative :)
New dimensions of business are being opened
Cool , thx for sharing :) i was inspecting changelly before , but when i compared it to blocktrades , exchange rate was not so profitable, although there is a bigger choice of altcoins. Regarding Living room of satoshi , it looks very cool , but it works only with australian dollars , which is very sad ((
Useful information, did not know these sites .. is a great alternative. Thank you for sharing @acidyo!
I tried changely today but kept getting zero as the rate from USD to any other currency. Other start convrrsions give rate, but not from USD. Am i the only one with that bug??
Coinbase charges like 4% when you use a credit card. @acidyo are you saying that Changelly only charges 0.5% to buy with credit or did I misunderstand that? Maybe you're saying 1) you can buy crypto with a CC and 2) when trading the fees are only 0.5%. 0.5% for buying with a CC seems to good to be true. If you can clarify that would be appreciated.
What you think about Blocktrades? Is their fee high ?
Yeah, @changelly has been my go-to for cashing out this sweet sweet SBD
໒( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )७
@shayne
These are both pretty cool and nifty sites, man! That second one would be really useful if I were an aussie, would be rad to see them include the US and EU with the ability to pay bills directly in the future. Also, I think that's kinda cool that you get rewarded with points for every dollar spent, looks like what gamestop does with purchases except the rewards are actually cool and useful items instead of junk, lol.
Nice, this is the second time I heard about Changelly on Steemit too, must be catching on.
