bump this thread. it is interesting that there is not much discussion here.
Can I understand that everything works well here, so there are not many remarks, suggestions or ambiguities?
However, the platform makes it easy to track values and currency conversions, it deserves to be strengthened.

Hi examplens, thank you for bumping.

We, in our turn, hope to think that quietness is a sign that everybody is content with our service 
But we are here to answer all the questions.

The last 5-6 pages of this thread are about suggestions and explanations for some few ambiguities and they are all made by the signature campaign participants (i was one of them for too long too). i think this is better than a topic full of spammy posts for altcoin promotions. great thanks to all who positively contribute to let bestchange be one of the safest services in the crypto market.
In the past (since more than a year ago), BestChange manager was frequently updating this topic with news from the crypto market and i was enjoying discussions about some of them (some others did too). The last post he made was in June 2020 and i don't know why he stopped doing this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3309245.msg54588654#msg54588654

Dear LoyceV,

Thank you for your attention to our topic.


However, moderator Xal0lex specifically wrote to us that we mustn't post news in this thread, that this is not a news thread. He wrote that there is a separate section on the forum for news.

Hence we abided by and stopped posting news on this topic.

💰How does the monitor help save up?

If you often exchange cryptocurrency or fiat money, then most likely you have chosen one reliable exchanger for yourself. This makes sense, especially from the viewpoint of convenience. However, this approach does not always give the most profitable results.

 And if you still don’t have a favorite exchanger, then it is crucial to make the right choice. What is needed for that, first and foremost? Correct, the relevant information.

Any information gets old with time, but in case of trading rates it happens in a blink of an eye. Prices in exchangers are made up of the current market exchange rate and the markup of the service itself. Cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile, hence such fluctuations in exchange rates.

❗ Using monitor, you will always find the most profitable option to buy or sell, and as a result, you will considerably save up❗

Every second BestChange monitors and updates rates for all exchange pairs (there are more than 200,000) and for each exchanger, which there are now 247. This means that at any time you can go to the monitor’s website and see the best deals for the currency pair you are interested in.

We guarantee that all exchangers that you see in the list are working. We have strict requirements for listing, and after listing we continue checking the services for performance. We also recommend reading the reviews.

[examplens]

Why I can't find this exchanger on your monitoring list https://hi.exchange/?step=1 (their ANN on Bitcointalk)
as far as I can see they are holding your banner presenting you as a partner, although it is only linked to their home page.
Also, all reviews on Trustpilot look fake.
Can you confirm that you are a real partner with them?

This website has not been added to our listing, but we are currently reviewing it and soon will add it to the monitor.

Adding the Best Change logo to the site is one of the prerequisite Bestchange team requires before the exchanger is listed on the exchange monitor. So some exchangers might not have ill intentions having the bestchange logo on them, while others may. It's case by case i guess

.....
13. Monitor's button  or logo must be placed on the website's main page in a visible place. If you have several buttons on your website, picture with BestChange logo must be placed first.

I still wonder why @Balthazar keeps the negative feedback on, even after BestChange came out and gave an update on how the issue is being resolved. I think it's unfair and kills the spirit of transparency and honesty by the service providers

I guess there is something more by his side than Bithub's problem. and he himself said that his negative tag was probably wrong and that he should make a correction. As one of the earliest forum members, he should be more careful about doing such things.

I see that there are some changes. Perhaps my rating should be either removed or corrected, I’ll do something about that a bit later.

Here we have provided detailed explanation of the situation with Bithub exchanger.

Currently, all the victims who have contacted us and provided proof that they indeed did send funds to Bithub, have been returned their funds.

All victims of the Bithub hack are requested to contact us via email at support@bestchange.com.

If this is so, then case should already be closed, unless there are still victims out there who have yet to reach out. In any case, I guess it would be unfair to say that BestChange is not "trying to resolve anything" and that it is refusing to cooperate.

Having said this, I don't think the accusation still stands until now unless, of course, if somebody steps forward claiming otherwise.

All victims of the Bithub hack are requested to contact us via email at support@bestchange.com.

I don't really have all the details pertaining to this particular case but isn't it that BestChange is just a site providing a list of exchanges and their corresponding exchange rates? As such, is BestChange, therefore, responsible for a particular exchange getting hacked? Is BestChange even culpable for the loss of the exchange's users when as soon as the information was relayed that the exchange was compromised, BestChange immediately suspended its listing?

Thank you for your reply!

As our FAQ says:

None of the listed exchangers is connected with BestChange nor it is legally bound with us. The users make their own decision whether to perform an exchange based on the data provided by the monitor: current exchange rates, customer reviews, age of exchangers, duration of being listed on BestChange. BestChange monitor also does not have information about transactions between users and exchangers, including exchange conditions, volumes and number of exchanges.

https://www.bestchange.com/faq.html

Shall any suscipcious activity happen in one of the listed exchangers, it is our job to immediately suspend its listing.

Nevertheless, in the situation with Bihub we did our best to resolve the conflict and make sure that the users received their funds.

Indicators to choose exchangers and the role of BestChange.com in this

Do you agree that you can only trust your money to such services that have earned this trust? Let’s talk about indicators to choose exchangers and the role of the monitor in this.

BestChange.com does due compliance checks of all exchangers before adding them to the website, and later on, continues watching over their reliability and reputation. That’s why the risk for the users is minimal. To keep good relationships with the large monitor, exchangers try to timely solve the problems the users write about in complaints.

Some pieces of advice when choosing exchangers through BestChange.com:

If you see negative reviews, please check whether the exchanger has responded to them and whether the problem was solved.

Please pay attention to the duration of the exchanger’s work. As a rule, we do not add exchangers that have been working less than half a year, but the longer the exchanger has been successfully working, the better.

Please pay attention to the available reserves — a large amount of funds for all exchange directions guarantees that the money will be enough for everyone.

Sign of the quality of the exchanger is an additional check and official registration. Please study this information together with users’ reviews, the working condition of the website and the current status on the monitor.

If you are selecting an exchanger on your own, without our help, we recommend studying at least three factors. Firstly, check the service in blacklists and read the reviews about it on independent platforms. Secondly, check the data of domain registration on Who.is. If the domain is only a few days old, give such an exchanger a wide berth, however attractive rates it would offer. Thirdly, the domain must not be located on free hosting.

Please be careful and happy exchanging!

Indicators to choose exchangers and the role of BestChange.com in this
..

We all know how fake reviews can be. it is already a common practice for services to pay for positive feedbacks, also some dissatisfied users will just write "this is a scam" and leave the lowest rating. although the feedback is incomplete, in the end, it affects the final average. (I saw this many times on "MyWOT rating" which you list on the page of each exchanger)

When do we talk about indicators, where this (from on-hover popup) star-rated rating comes from? I also see that not all exchangers have this type of rating?
For example 7money:



or Changer4u

[Best_Change]

When do we talk about indicators, where this (from on-hover popup) star-rated rating comes from? I also see that not all exchangers have this type of rating?

Thank you for your question, examplens!

Stars are an additional indicator of exchangers’ reliability which us calculated by our inner algorithm and it does not directly depend on the number of reviews. This indicator is calculated based on a large number of various technical and fundamental factors which we usually use in inner business-processes for a more detailed evaluation of the service’s reliability and reputation. On these factors depends the conduct of moderators in questionable situations.

However, we saw this information as very valuable, so we show it in a trimmed-off way in the form of such additional rating. But we do not specifically highlight such exchangers in the list to remain neutral. Unfortunately, due to the specifics of the situation, we do not reveal the details of this algorithm to avoid any possible manipulations with the rating.

If the website doesn’t have stars, it doesn’t mean you cannot trust it. We trust absolutely all services from the listing on our website, but the services with the stars seem to us a little bit more reliable in difficult situations due to the size of business, duration of work, reputation, and many other factors.

Moreover, you won’t find information about 1 or 2 stars, because this can be understood in a wrong way – as a low quality and not a level of additional trust. The rating below 3 stars was hidden.

The system of rating is not perfect, but we are trying to embrace as many parameters as possible, that is why it is hard to reply why this or that service does not have stars yet. For yourself personally you can read 3 to 5 stars as a very small bonus when choosing a service, given other parameters of exchangers are equal.

As for green icons next to the stars (and not instead of them), when you hover the mouse over them an explanation will appear. So far there are two such icons – if an exchanger has gone through an additional voluntary check of the administration of the exchanger and if there is a legal registration of the service as a separate business in any of the countries where this is possible.

How BestChange.com saves your time

Before the monitors' launch, the process of selecting truly profitable offers among exchangers took a long time. You had to open every website, select the required exchange direction, enter the amount, check how much it will result in.

And what if on top of that, exchange rates change every minute?

BestChange.com monitor became a solution for people who value their time and do not want to miss the best exchange rates. The website accumulates all the market offers in one place, and their comparison is automatized.

1. Select the source currency on the panel on the left.
2. Select the target currency on the panel on the right.
3. Study the list of exchangers that support this direction.
4. Now just select the most profitable exchange rate and go to the exchanger’s website.

Everything is so easy and only takes a few seconds. We just help save time — the primary human resource — so you could spend it in a better way. We recommend making a habit out of using BestChange; we are confident that you will appreciate the comfort that we create for you.

How BestChange.com helps you with rare exchange directions

❗Situation: you need to exchange money for a rare direction (for example, AdvCash TRY for Solana, like in the picture), and your favorite exchanger does not offer such an option. What to do? There are hundreds of exchangers in the world, and it is impossible to visit each of them and check whether they have the exchange direction you need.

To avoid such a problem, BestChange works for you.

The wide range of currencies and payment systems allows choosing exchangers for any occasion. Choose the currency you give, and you want to get, and even if there is a single exchanger where you can perform such an operation, you will find it.

Currently, there are over 200 reliable exchangers in the monitor — we watch over their compliance with the rules and take all necessary measures for the safety of users.

You can also visit the section “Popular” and, in one click, select the needed direction in order not to search for it in the list. For example, today, these are the top directions by the searches:

Tether TRC20 → PM
PayPal USD → Perfect Money USD
Visa/MasterCard USD → PM

There are thousands of possible directions. As a result, you receive an opportunity not only to find exchangers supporting the required currencies but also to select the most profitable among them. We wish you a smooth exchange!

How the BestChange.com monitor adheres to the principles of transparency

💲Economy and convenience are two key benefits that the use of BestChange.com brings. To save up maximally, we adhere to the principle of transparency.

Having chosen an exchange direction, you will see a list of exchangers that support it, sorted by rate. The rates are updated every 5 seconds, so they are always relevant. At the same time, you can notice that when updating the page, exchangers change their places, some become more profitable, and others vice versa.

The rate in an exchanger depends on several factors:

💰The relevant market rate for the trading pair. It is taken by exchangers from crypto exchange platforms, such as Binance or Poloniex.
💰The commission of an exchanger. As a rule, it is not specified directly but is included in the rate. That is why it is most profitable to select exchangers via the monitor.
💰The amount of exchange. Some exchangers levy additional commissions for an exchange of specific amounts, for example, up to 100 USD. In this case, the largest rate possible is indicated in the monitor. The service must issue a warning about such nuances at the time of creating an order, this is one of our requirements for exchangers.

When choosing, please pay attention to the icons next to the name of an exchanger (see the picture) — there can be important information. For example, whether the rate is fixed at the moment of an order creation — this is very important because during the order processing the value of the currency can significantly drop and you will receive not what you expected.

We try to provide all the information that can be important for you. Please choose attentively, and then the losses on currency exchanging will be minimal.

what can affect the rate to significantly change the value during the exchange process? I guess it didn't just move the price, it doesn’t happen often changes in a few minutes as long as the transactions can last?
whether they have one rate to bring customers and another one in reality when an exchange is made?
