Major Overhaul Needed

Many references on this article are very very old - ie. talking about e-gold and liberty reserve in the present tense.

Further, this article needs to be updated with the advent of cryptocurrencies.

"Counterfeit Currency"

Did I read that incorrectly? Saad Mirza (talk) 07:41, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Removing Exchangers section

This section compared 17 commercial services based on various criteria. I tried verifying the information on four of the services, and couldn't find reliable secondary sources. I didn't try visiting the companies' websites, as basing the entire section on primary sources would go against WP:PRIMARY. Ultimately I don't see the information as useful in covering the topic of this article, but if someone feels details about one or more specific examples are required, please cite a verifiable reliable source for whatever information is restored. --Agyle (talk) 04:48, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Agreed - it's currently an indiscriminate list; an arbitrary listing that's nothing more than a spam magnet. The only existing inclusion criteria appears to be to add any random company, regardless of their size, notability, or legitimacy. The majority of the entries are redlinked and sourced to nothing more than the companies' websites - so no means to verify the comparisons using a third-party reliable source.

At the very least, the list should be trimmed to only those entries which are capable of meeting WP:CORP criteria (either by having an article, or by providing third-party reliable sources here). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:52, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Synonyms and distinctions of the term "digital currency exchanger"

I'm removing the synonyms from the opening sentence, “independent exchange providers” and “e-currency exchangers.” “Independent exchange providers” I found used relatively rarely, and in other contexts (e.g., a type of telephone service from the 1980s, or a service that helps people in wheelchairs transfer between different forms of public transit). “E-currency exchangers” is commonly used on commercial websites, but at this point seems to be a vernacular term that is not found in reliable sources. The citation for the definition of “digital currency exchanger” is a weak source (it's a commercial but informative website), but the term is used in many, academic journals, magazine and newspaper articles, and government documents.

Also, from my reading, a “digital currency exchanger” seems to have a slightly different meaning from a “digital currency exchange”; the former is a business, the latter is a service that is provided by those businesses.

Redirect from "bitcoin exchange"

This is a problem. There are "digital currency exchanges" that are not market makers, working as organized markets collecting and matching supply and demand. Stating otherwise is conflating "exchangers", i.e., market makers, and "exchanges", i.e., organized markets, collecting and matching supply and demand. Ladislav Mecir (talk) 06:30, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

I noted that a few articles had directed Bitcoin exchange to Digital currency exchanger, I think Bitcoin exchange is becoming notable enough in its own right to warrant an article, so created the article but set it as a redirect to Digital currency exchanger for now as did not have enough time to create an full article yet. The redirect is not ideal but is what was happening anyway. As for Ladislav Mecir comment, I do agree that there are two different concepts here but I note that in common usage the same name is used for organisations providing either a trading facility or an exchange between Bitcoins and Fiat money or both. His separation, although correct, does not seem to reflect common usage. It seems that its being used in the same way as foreign exchange which covers both trading facilities and physical exchangers of currency. My feeling is the best solution is for or somebody to create a full article on bitcoin exchanges, which can cover both concepts. Sargdub (talk) 04:20, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Unsafe external link?

According to the Web of Trust (WOT)

This ".ru" external link from firstwm.ru has popups and scams.

How about spliting this article into two articles?

If this article contains two different subjects so it is confusing, what about spliting this article to a cryptocurrency exchange and a digital currency exchange? --Fulldose (talk) 07:15, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

To be included there must be an article in Wikipedia about an exchange, so write the article first. And to write an article we need independent reliable sources. None of the sources above are acceptable. Retimuko (talk) 15:23, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
