[List] Instant exchanges

[dkbit98]

The swaps are currently in pause.
They are also going to enable lending after the next upgrade.

If they can pause and start swaps whenever they want then this is not really decentralized or non-custodial exchange, and I would not trust them with larger amount of coins.
As for adding lending feature, this is another red flag for me, and it would not surprise me to see this turning into scam or ''exploit'' by unknown NK hackers in future.

I guess it's still buggy

Or they are simply junk... but I will give it a try myself in next few days.

@OmegaStarScream
You can add eXch exchange in your list ^{(links in my sig)}.

The pause could be requested for a limited time from all the nodes, so it is a decentralized way to do it.
If you have time, give it a deeper look in the documentation.

1. Evonax.com is now down... I don't know for how long
2. CoinPlaza.it, It seems things have changed quite a lot with this instant exchange, especially in regard to KYC. They now have a 10 Euro monthly limit for No KYC accounts

I'm guessing you just copied the URL from the OP instead of searching for it on Google? If so, that's probably why you couldn't visit it. It was only accessible if you explicitly added HTTPS before the URL, but it should work fine now (they might have read your post).
Thorswap (the DEX built on top of Thorchain) has gone into "maintenance mode" and froze its operations[1] yesterday because it looks like funds from the "FTX Hack" were being traded there. See the official statement here[2]

More precisely, Thorswap isn't a DEX, Thorchain is the DEX, Thorswap it just an interface to use it.
Users can still use Thorchain with other interfaces, such as ShapeShift or Asgardex (and there are others)

[OmegaStarScream]

So Thorswap is back to work, but this time, with 12 banned countries: Belarus, Burma (Myanmar), Cote D'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Zimbabwe and any other country sanctioned by the U.S, UK or EEA[1][2]

You are actually right. I just copied the link from OP and pasted it into the URL bar but yeah, it looks like it has been fixed. You can also add a hypertext link to Evonax.com and make it clickable like the others in the OP

I was looking to trade btc to optimism usdc the other day, the prices I was given on simpleswap/stealthex/fixedfloat (these are my go tos) were significantly lower than amount I was exchanging. So, I looked for other platforms, and came across sideshift, the amount I received was about $1 less than amount I exchanged.

They were quick to confirm my deposit, barely took a minute, however they waited until it got enough confirmations to send me op usdc.

Thanks for the feedback but SideShift is already listed on the OP. But  if you're trying to find the best rates, I just came across this service on /r/CryptoCurrency:

https://orangefren.com/

It will also show you the KycNotMe score, as well as the exchange's KYC policy.

lol, I gave quick glance in op and wrote the comment, didn't realize sideshift was already there, should have used find-in-page function.

Regarding Orangefren, there seems to be limited number of pairs available.

Just some additional information. Sideshift.ai seems to have blocked users from certain Jurisdictions from accessing their website. Instead, one gets redirected to Sifi.org, which they claim to be their partner. Some on chain swap service of sorts. I don't know how reliable they are since I have never used them.

@OmegaStarScream, I suggest you add eXch.cx Instant exchange to first post
site: https://exch.cx/
ANN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577207.0

This is twisted considering that they don't ask for KYC, so they shouldn't have any regional restrictions. Have you tried with another browser or maybe even via VPN?
btw. It works normally on my side.

Where was your IP? I just tried with the most likely country to be redirected -- USA and I was right, I got redirected lol. I tried a couple of other countries and they worked fine -- NL, SG, JP, AUS, UK.

It's interesting that I can't seem to access sideshift's terms or service page. Dropping it on urlscan.io returns an error as well. I wonder if they're in the middle of changing some stuff.

Perhaps they don't want to fall into trouble with the US or whatever law enforcement body is out there... or should we say they are "cowards"? 

Exch.cx have had a fair share of similar threats

Yeah, it was because the IP address was pointing to the US

Yep, it's the US.

It's here - https://sideshift.ai/legal

The blocked countries are;

3.4. The Services are not intended for use by individuals who are citizens or nationals of or resident in United States of America, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Saint Kitts and Nevis or Syria.

Obviously, Sideshift.ai are not completely NO-KYC, because that does not go together with Prohibited jurisdictions.

For example, what NO-KYC should look like in practice. (when we already mention exch.cx)

Prohibited jurisdictions: None (we are unable to detect customers country anyway because we have IP-logging disabled and none of our software pieces process such information)

Strange. I was pretty certain that I added exch. I'll make sure to add it, thanks.

As for SideShift, then this should also taken into consideration even one is not from the mentioned jurisdictions:

https://help.sideshift.ai/en/articles/6230858-sideshift-ai-s-risk-management-policy

I believe I talked about this before, but back then, I don't remember that "a refund" was only possible after completing the KYC process. They must've added that part recently.

Very nice thread OP, it helped me to find some good exchanges but I want to share my recent experience with Changehero. I decided to make a quick exchange with changehero, entered my altcoin address, calculated the amount, then their btc address showed up where I had to transfer the money, then I sent the coins from my wallet and then I receive a message on their website that time has expired (while only some minutes have passed) and if I wanted to make an exchange, I had to try again. I contacted their support and they were checking the problem but I didn't hear reply for five minutes and used transaction cancel option on Electrum because transaction wasn't confirmed yet. Thanks god, I received money back.

I don't say that changehero is a scammer or like that but I would be careful with them.

[dulex]

You should add:  https://veil.exchange/
is non KYC emphasizes privacy
over 100 tokens/coins

They very active on TG:  https://t.me/VeilExchange

I think they have had some few accusations here that got resolved with the pressure from the community, thus I would be very cautious using them. Maybe I would start off with instant exchanges that don't have a KYC clause on their TOS or look for the less controversial ones.

Glad that you got to cancel the transaction in time.

ّIn my opinion, Flashift's place in this list is really empty because with Flashshift https://flashift.app you can find the best rate among these exchanges. Please add Flashshift to the list.
