[List] Instant exchanges

[OmegaStarScream]

Since we're starting to see more and more "Instant exchanges" lately, and Changelly/ShapeShift are no longer controlling that market. I decided to make a list of these exchanges, hopefully some of you might find it helpful.

❗ IMPORTANT ❗: The "no-KYC" services listed here can still ask you to verify your identity if they ever detect a "suspicious activity" in your account.

Remark: It's possible to use Changelly without going through the KYC procedure, however, there have been many cases where users were forced to submit their documents, in order to get their funds back.

 ⚡ = the exchange supports the lightning network.

If you think there is something I need to edit or you have an exchange to add, please let me know.

For a long time I could not decide on a good exchanger. I was always afraid to send my money to sites with even good reviews and I never wanted to go through a document check.

Godex looks very, very good, thanks, you helped a lot.


About edit:

From the first, I did not even figure out which one was scam.
Please change the icon to a more visible one and strip it red, if not difficult, it will be much better.

Like: ☢ or ☠

[Findingnemo]

Thanks for the list, I want to try Godex because that site doesn't require registration and no KYC why it has been not popular yet when shapeshift and chagelly has lot of issues recently?

They can be trusted for any amount?

[OmegaStarScream]

@Findingnemo regarding Godex. I haven't used their services before so I can't really vouch for them. I would suggest you do your own research before using them (or any other exchange from the list).

@elmanchez these emojis seem to be displaying just fine for me. Which OS and browser are you using?

[figmentofmyass]

you might add https://flyp.me/ to the list. i've used them a few times without complaints. they don't have huge liquidity but it's more than enough for most small/casual users.

like most exchanges, there is a scam accusation or two out there. however, the lack of complaint volume leads me to believe the above accusation does not necessarily tell the full story or indicate typical user experience. btc-e, bitfinex, and many other legitimate exchanges have faced plenty of similar complaints.

Can you add the exchange from my signature? I mainly like it because it allows very small exchanges, and doesn't charge a transaction fee (only a percentage).

[Kyraishi]

I've been using Changenow lately without any issues.

They generally provide better rates on smaller transactions compared to Changelly which charges a 0.0003 BTC flat transaction fee on all BTC related output.

I would only recommend changenow for small amounts though because of the fact that they've had trouble with KYC before, despite advertising themselves as an anonymous exchange in the past. Though I haven't had any troubles with them personally, I've kept my transaction size <0.01 BTC always and it doesn't guarantee that anyone else won't have issues with them.

Btw, IIRC, ChangeNow is either owned by Changelly or they use them and are just some kind of middleman. IIRC, someone had a lot of coins stuck in them for months and they said it was a problem on Changelly.

Take a look at this long thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4619534.0

[Timelord2067]

Thanks for making the list, I was thinking of doing something similar after coming across the one Loyce's mobile UID mentioned (in my sig too).

Will advise if I come across any.

[sheenshane]

That is good stuff, the list is very informative but so far I didn't experience them all aside from ShapeShift which is I used twice before.

I have found one but I didn't sure about this. I'm searching in the forum there's no scam accusation I have found and they made an account here in the forum named, evonax. This is their instant exchange, https://www.evonax.com/faq. But I doubt why they dont have fees, how they can generate profit by that? Or selectively scamming users. But so far no complaints.

Nice exchange, i have just checked it out, and I am definitely going to bookmark it. The rates are one of the best and i love the bit of small exchanges too.


OP does coinswitch.co also fall in this category of instant exchanges? If it does then here are the details:
Name:  Coinswitch
Ann thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2041972.0
KYC: No
Fees type: Fixed Rate
Supported coins: 426

[LeGaulois]

Even if the websites are labeled "NO KYC" it's good to remember that they can still ask for our identities at any time if a transaction is flagged as suspicious through their internal controls.

- Stealthex.io https://stealthex.io/ supports ~250 coins and has a rate of 0.4% per exchange and no KYC
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5063962.msg47623219#msg47623219

- Flixedfloat https://fixedfloat.com/en/ has ~20 coins, with lightning network, and a rate of 1% if you opt for a fixed-rate or 0.5% if you opt for a floating rate https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5107342.0 mentioned already, sorry

Coinswitch seems to have another ann thread this was posted a year later than the first one but didn't have much posts and discussion since it was posted on the altcoin board.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

you might add https://flyp.me/ to the list. i've used them a few times without complaints.

Same here, I was using them for GRC (I think) a while back and they were pretty reliable.

I was looking for exchanges that sell RDD, as there aren't that many these days and I came across Changeangel, which is an instant exchange.  I've used them about four times in the past month and have had no problems.  No KYC is required.

I have that ANN section on ignore and am too lazy to un-ignore it to check to see if Changeangel had a thread, so perhaps I'll leave it to someone to look up.  Apparently you can't even search in sections you have on ignore.

I have not heard before about 'Changeangel' exchange before you mention here. I have searched on forum about their exchange if there is any official announcement thread, but unfortunately they don't have any. Although I had not use this exchange but looking good their exchange.
OP can take a look on Exolix exchange, although I had not used myself but according to team they got some traders from forum. I haven't seen any scam accusation against them yet. Its instant exchange and user could exchange crypto anonymously, registration isn't required.

Changelly is a great exchange, why that bullshit red dot? shapeshift is decent aswell.

The reason is explained, isn't it?

Is this the non-ref link you're talking about?[1] Looks like the volume is really low for some pairs.

Changelly is a legit exchange.
the other exchanges are unknown to me and I wouldn't use them except shapeshift.

Freebitcoins is a new exchange was created initialy for clam and is slowly growing.

[safari88]

i think you can add flyp.me into your list above? because they already support 30+ coins in their website

[OmegaStarScream]

Added all the mentioned exchanges to the list. Thanks, everyone!

OP does coinswitch.co also fall in this category of instant exchanges? If it does then here are the details:

Not sure. Mind explaining how does the exchange exactly works? It looks more of a search engine.

I can see that whenever you choose the pairs you want to trade, a list of exchanges is given to you. Do they buy the crypto from these exchanges using their accounts API and then re-sell it on their platform?

I was looking for exchanges that sell RDD, as there aren't that many these days and I came across Changeangel, which is an instant exchange.  I've used them about four times in the past month and have had no problems.  No KYC is required.

I've listed them but do they have any threads on the forums? I couldn't find any.
