Hi

Can someone tell me how the exchange-place "Changelly" works?

When I go to many other crypto-exchange's websites, they want me to give out my Phone number, passport number etc.. It's simply a lot of work to get verified as a buyer there.

When I look at Changelly's website though, it seems i'ts possible to change bitcoins for other cryptocurrencies, without having to give out name and other information.

Is this for real? Or have I missed something? Maybe they want passport-number later in the exchange process or something?

Maybe u will get the answers from here

changelly without exchanger
changelly iam visit official site this now open service exchanger

and i think not good exchanger, not popular and very danger exchange in there and changelly dev is red trust

Maybe you could elaborate on this?

My transaction is stuck in sending to wallet for ethereum. Anything I can do?

How long it gets stuck there? I also used it before and it takes at least 1 hour for my coins to transact. Or maybe the network now is congested again.
Just wait for it or contact their support if it didn't show up to your wallet.

If ether network is working proper, it could although take a day. But you will get your coins credited. I don't use changelly anymore because exchange rates are calculated, when the currencies are arrived at changelly. Could cause a bad surprise after such long exchanging procedure.

 I have been scammed by them! Ive been waiting two days for my BTC to transfer I have messaged them on twitter and email no response.

wow so many people getting scammed on new coins and new exchanges...sad

Changelly site is legit but it has high fees. I prefer to use https://blocktrades.us/. It is much faster and cheaper. As for the verification, it is mainly not there as you are not depositing or withdrawing fiat. You are just changing from 1 crypto-currency to another cryptocurrency, so not much details are required. On blocktrades, you don't have to give any details, not even email, so yes, not a big issue.

You don't have to give out any ID to use changelly, it's an instaswap platform not exchanges like, you send an amount of coin you wish to swap followed by the receiving address to receive the other coin

Shapeshift is the only insta exchange that ask for KYC verifications now, changelly don't do that, if you don't know how to use changelly you can start using coinomi wallet, it allows changing coins to another using changelly, it's very easy

what you mean by insta ? instant   ? you cant call it instant if they require a kyc because doing a kyc is pretty hassel   . a real instant exchange means it does not need any signups or any other hassel verifications   .  i think i already heard and see shapeshift before and before they dont have a kyc right ? because kyc is not really that popular that time   . coinomi also uses shapeshift before but i dont use coinomi now  , did they remove shapeshift and replace by changely  ?  

Instant, I guess that's what he meant.

Using changelly through coinomi, it wouldn't ask you even to sign up because they are integrated with it. But if you're using them through their website, they require you to sign up.

No, they didn't.

Those two still exists if you visit their app.
