    I've used Bitstamp since about 2014 ; been going a long time, request proper ID docs from you; seem professional.

    They (perhaps wisely) don't offer trading in Bitcoin Cash (BTH) though so after the split I had to move that to another place. Kraken does and is reputable.

    Sorry but you're the one asking the question "are there any other ones" when a quick internet search reveals tens of them.

    The fact that you haven't done some research and narrowed down your criteria in any way other than "an exchange where you can buy bitcoins or other cryptocurrency from that isn't coinbase" and wonder "are there any other ones" means you're not going to get many meaningful responses that can fit into a sort forum post, because we have to presume you haven't done any research at all and want to know everything about everything, which nobody can be bothered to type.

    That's why you're getting referred to Google.

    Or, as you've been on the forum nine years already, you probably know how to run a forum search on this board and find the other bitcoin/crypto threads over the last few years in which people will have mentioned who they use. So you could do that so we don't have to regurgitate those other threads or start listing the exchanges which we have used or know to exist.
  • I've also used Bitstamp since 2013, and they have a solid reputation.

    I think you're wrong about Bitcoin Cash though- I got some 'free' after the split and have just traded it in for Bitcoin. Bitstamp are offering free trades on it until end December.
  • In France you can also go into a fancy shop in Paris to buy cryptomonnaie - for only 10% commission!
