Hey whats the lowest fees of the exchanges?

Coinbase for 1k bitcoin is like 15 bucks... and to sell is another 15 bucks

that seems like a lot to me.

Quote (Lancet_Jade @ Dec 5 2017 03:19pm)

GDAX / Gemini have lower fees and are US based.

QuadrigaX for Canadians

Kraken for EU

Thanks for that information.

Next question I have is it possible to transfer money from coinbase to GDAX?

I just wanna use one app to hold all my coins basically

Quote (Lancet_Jade @ Dec 5 2017 03:32pm)

Yes, Coinbase owns GDAX, transfers between the two are near instant and free.

Nice im trying to get verified through GDAX right now but it keeps saying error..

I took picture of my drivers license with web cam and took a picture of myself

so frustrating

Quote (Lancet_Jade @ Dec 5 2017 03:36pm)

Verify on Coinbase app, it's easiest. Then you will be verified on GDAX since they are the same company.

Nice thanks

Have you actually bought coins, received them and ended up sellng them?

I bought some small incremenets of litecoin, but I still have not received them for 8 days, and was thinking of making a big purchase soon...

wanna know how safe and soon it will be.


Also during the time you are waiting (the 8 days or whatever), can you sell the coins?
