How to Trade with CoinSwitch
Let’s assume that you already own BTC. Go to https://www.coinswitch.co and select BTC on the top ‘You Send’ field and ETH on the right ‘You Get’ field. Enter the amount of BTC you want to exchange. This will show the quantity of ETH at current exchange rate. Now you have to click ‘View All Offers’ button.
Here you will see the list of all exchanges with Ether (ETH) quantity. Choose the best exchange to convert your Bitcoin (BTC) to Ether (ETH) or you can choose the one recommended by the platform.
Provide your Ether (ETH) wallet address. You will receive your ETH coins in that wallet after the exchange completes. Please double check the address and read the terms before hitting Next button.
Here it will show the Bitcoin (BTC) address of the exchange. Now you have to send BTC from your BTC wallet to that address.
Once the exchange will receive your BTC then it will initiate the Ether (ETH) conversion.
You can always track your transaction on the blockchain with our easy to access links, below is your transactions status.
The transaction is now completed, and now you can check your Ether (ETH) wallet. Note that although the transaction is finished, in some cases your wallet needs some additional confirmations to display the received funds. All you should do is to just wait until your coins are displayed.
CoinSwitch transactions take 15-30 minutes to be processed. If a transaction is large (around 1 BTC worth), processing may take longer depending on the size of your transaction and blockchain capacity.
It is important to know that, unlike ordinary money, cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, so the rate may fluctuate. It may happen that the exchange rate which you see before the transaction is different (high or low) after transaction gets completed. In that case, the exchanged quantity which you receive may differ from what you see during the comparison.
The platform doesn’t have amount restrictions. Nevertheless, there are some situations that need your attention. If an amount is too low, you should make sure that it will cover all the network fees a blockchain takes. It means that the amount you are going to send and the amount you are going to get should be enough to cover input and output network fees taken by a blockchain. If your funds to be exchanged are insufficient, you will see a message. Please pay attention to these recommendations. Otherwise, there is a high risk that your money will be lost. Some exchanges provide a max limit as well.
User Interface
The CoinSwitch platform is very easy to use. There are simple steps that need to be taken to make the exchange. Even if you are a beginner in the world of cryptocurrencies it will not be a problem. The platform is very intuitive and after you choose your trading pair just follows the steps and instructions on the screen.
If you are still having problems with making the transactions, you can always visit FAQ page where you can find answer to your problem.
On the other hand, the platform lacks advanced tools for more experienced users such as charting tools, trading history, order book and etc. Most of the experienced users are doing an in-depth research of the market before making a decision. Most of these tools are common on other exchanges, but considering that CoinSwitch is an exchange aggregator it should come as a big surprise.
