Having migrated from Coinbase, I believed Bitstamp to be a good exchange. Until I looked here: coin360.com/exchanges . If you are on Bitstamp, you are being charged a LOT in fee's, and ever since their acquisition in a friendly merger with a South Korean company, their system cannot keep up with it's own order book. Worse yet , it offers only 5 pairs, and a coupling with BTC (optional.) Migrate asap. Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat.
