I have only dealt with Kraken, they seem to be growing their coins but slowly, the layout of their website i will agree is horrible.  But I have had very good customer service with them I am talking 1 to 3 hour responses back and forth. I Find that very useful, I am also new to trading online currencies..... I just made 5 bucks in profit doing it the first time just having fun adding 50 USD. I really don't think Kraken is bad..... you can deposit and withdraw USD EU, and british pounds now? I could be wrong.

But to be able to trade 17 coins, not having to own them and buy and sell them for USD is win win..... customer support as been great.   The annoying very annoying part of Kraken is setting up with them, I was about to ask if they wanted a blood sample...... At same time I am glad they screen their users like this. You have to be dedicated to get on there. I had to take over 6 pictures of my self just to get my damn ID and paper just right for them to read it.... doesnt help having a 50 dollar blu phone.  I am tempted to dumb 500 more dollars just to see how it goes as well. but for now I will hit it sit for a few weeks to see if it drains my 50 or makes me money.



the other exchanges I have no idea. The fact that poloniex requires eletronic and no USD was a no go for me, Bittrex if they offer it I might give them a try. Selling and buying smaller coins is not a problem for me at all. Everyone is going for the big dog BTC when you can make thousands on the small coins just as easy. I will look into Bittrix
