No, I stopped with cex when I saw 3.5% commission (didn't thoroughly investigate that part) and when they asked for my tax number. Just... no.

Manual. There's no quick buy like on Luno from what I could tell, but easy to click on a sell offer from someone and it'll pre-populate the correct amounts for you. Not perfect, but easy enough to navigate.

You want WSUS. Not sure if it is available on non-server Windows OS's though. Never implemented it myself, but facilities at previous company did.

So I finally tried them out. Used BTC but the interest in this exchange is the ETH trading they'll be activating soon. 1.) Registration and verification Took about 30 minutes total. All that was needed was ID, Proof of Adress and Bank Statement 2.) Deposit funds The screens are not that intuitive. When you click on "Deposit/Withdraw" button it takes you to your account page. Maybe I'm having an off day but it took me a while to notice the "Deposit / Withdraw" links in the table under the Control column. They could've styled it like buttons to make it more obvious in my opinion. In the ZAR row, I click on deposit and could choose whether or not I want to fund it via their FNB or Standard Bank account. Chose FNB, obviously, since I'm an FNB client. The only tricky part was the beneficiary/reference number to use. They present you with this piece of text but what you are looking for is the TXR number. It will look something like TXR0000123. This makes monthly auto payments to the account impossible from what I can see. Anyway, made the payment and it reflected within 25 minutes which included me opening a ticket asking for clarification on the reference number confusion (at the time of writing they had a bug in the email template) and that ticket being answered and closed. So big +1 on their support. I noticed though that the deposit was resolved on the hour so I'm assuming there is an hourly batch job or something. And obviously, if you pay from say an ABSA account to their FNB account you'll probably wait for an extra day because of Bankserv. 3.) Buying Bitcoin Was quick. Filled in two fields, click buy and got my coins. Not that this should or could be more difficult. 4.) Withdrawal I went back to the account screen, went straight to the table and click "Withdraw" on the BTC row (see, easy once you've seen the damn links), entered the amount to withdraw and the BTC wallet address (in this case Luno). Before you can confirm there is a "Send' button which generates a hash key and emails it to you. Once you receive it you copy paste it back into the withdrawal form and click confirm. And that's it. I just bought BTC at R37500, sent it to Luno where it is trading at R39600....and did nothing. But I could've sold it and made a quick buck. Not that I think that is a sustainable way of trading but who knows - one of you with more time on their hands might prove me wrong The transfer to Luno btw cost something like 0.0002 BTC Now bring on ETH trading!

ice3x - not good: "Error establishing a database connection"

No, just more and more revelations. Latest being Gigabytes and Brown linked to placing pro-Gupta individuals in key positions in SOEs

ETH exchange was delayed because of a "backlog"...which I don't fully understand

Nah, registering and verifying was pretty straightforward

They're up and running now. Let's hope they get decent trading volumes.

I don't...yet. Registered early last week because of rumours that ETH trading is coming. And then Friday happened...

Join the Ether thread...

Soon...

You should be buying right now. Rand at 12.71 to the Dollar.

That's a lot of emails to fake though. Just way too much.

That's about 200,000 fake emails then

Basically - they have a stash of a fsck ton of emails. Wanted to investigate and prepare articles over the coming months. But since some of it was released already in the hopes of the NEC taking appropriate action it is no longer in the interest of the whistleblowers to sit on it. So all those emails are being dumped. The articles have already started - Billions of Rands of kickbacks etc.

Welcome

CSP500 tracks the S&P500 index which is mostly US stocks so it is more comparable to DBXUS than DBXWD. DBXWD invests worldwide (at the moment 60% in US, 40% in Europe etc - all developed countries if I'm not mistaken). I definitely prefer DBXWD over DBXUS because 1) the broader diversification and 2) it is much cheaper. CSP500 seems to be paying better dividends though but these are hardly the type of ETFs one invests in for the dividends.

Pleasure...now tell all your friends!

Easiest (considering you already have an ABSA Stockbroker account) is to buy the NEWUSD ETN. Will effectively track the USD exchange rate with ZAR. You do not own USD though, when you cash out it becomes ZAR again. You are saving quite a bit on transfer costs etc. If you want actual USD - open an FNB Global Account and transfer into it. Done. To do actual/active forex trading though you may want to look at another solution which these are not.
