Welcome back
I was wondering how can you prevent ending up in similar fashion like Paxful, LocalBitcoins, LocalCryptos and other P2P trading websites that shut down recently under pressure from regulators?
Looks like you are one of the last P2P marketplace werbsites standing (not counting fruit app that was recently released).

They all shut down for different reasons. Paxful's co-founder sued the other co-founder. LocalBitcoins lost a large chunk of their revenue after having to shut down the Russian market. LocalCryptos's founder has serious medical issues.

We can never exclude a massive government crackdown, of course, but so far P2P trading is OK.


Oops, fixed, thanks!

I'm not as tech-savvy as some of the regulars and have little idea of what reputation importing looks like, so I'd appreciate the details.

Are you referring to the dual authorization that identifies your username on Localcryptos? 

I just enter the website and finished the registration and was trying to see if the exchange  will be simple has others but my brother it was not easy. I couldn't do anything. Thought I got the public key, but I did not see buy and sell on the first page of the website. My fear was, I would not see my country currency but to my surprise, I saw it there. That is a nice exchange platform .I will still try to use it in my free  time.

Good to hear -- I am highly appreciative of services like LocalMonero.

I look forward to trying it out. Buy / sell spread is reasonable, there are certainly enough different cashout options for my purposes, will report back here with a detailed review of the process afterward.

Yes, I do actually.

So I'm in the signature campaign and thus it may be hard to appear as unbiased, but I was actually quite pleased with the speed at which everything was processed, from the deposit to the trade acceptance to the finalization.

I've used a couple other similar services and sometimes it can take days for a trade to finally be settled, thus it is worrying as to whether everything worked as planned until the funds are actually received. Not the case with AgoraDesk. The sellers (at least the ones I worked with so far) are very responsive. Seems to be a highly competent operation.

One small issue was not understanding I was responsible for the trade tx fee, but once I figured that out it was no problem.

One suggestion would be having a place in the vendor profile for them to display a public PGP key. It is comforting to read that you encrypt the messages with your own system but for buyers and sellers who want to use PGP as an added layer of security, this might be a good idea.

Overall: two thumbs up.

Thank you for the response.

Yeah, just checked it, and it's now completely off, which is so sad. It was still on a few weeks back. There goes my Localcryptos reputation, since I used to use it unlike Paxful and localbitcoins
