Best DEX for date ?

[layer1gfx]

you may check BISQ and the trading volume of the last months, it is getting busy there.
https://bisq.network/stats/

binance DEX seems to be good but also very quiet sometimes, depending on the trading pair.

for ETH i also agree that IDEX is a really good exchange.
they seem to plan developing a mobile version as well: https://demo.idex.io/

The liquidity on these are still pretty bad. Nothing that can really be done about that.

We can say that it's getting BUSY there, but the chart on the bisq website says otherwise. 65 bitcoins being traded in the entire month of January 2020 really isn't much. THIS IS WHY I HATE WHEN PEOPLE LITERALLY JUST SAY -- JUST USE BISQ.

Bisq is shit, it has no volume.

Use a coinmixer of some sort -- Wasabi Wallet, Samourai Wallet Whirlpool, etc and just use the regular exchanges  or LocalBitcoins/Paxful. That's your best bet.

i guess you mean, bisq has low volume compared to top exchanges - but DEXes have in general not such high volumes.
the chart on the website only shows january – february or march is still not reflected.
just in the last days the trading activity went from low to busy, also due to a market-making campaign called "make the market march".
bisq is presenting on the coming bitcoin2020 conference and will have a booth there as well. they are also publishing a full-page ad in the bitcoin magazine this month.
so there will be most likely much more activity on bisq this month and more traders will use it.

localbitcoins is not really recommended since they introduced KYC and made local trades in person very difficult.

the f2f trade options on bisq might be the alternative for traders who are looking for local trading partners.

DDEX and Binance DEX(soon) is winning here by looking at the first page.

I have seen also WavesDex being mentioned.
I don't know a lot about them but I have visited that website before after the hype of signature campaign here.

My tokens though are under Waves from that time.
I can just trade it to Waves and back. But there is not much volume before.
Is it now better? I mean, do people really trade there a lot?

Until now, WavesDex has not been able to compete with other decentralized exchanges yet because the liquidity here is really bad and I have not seen any projects using this platform successfully in the crypto market. In fact, I'm only interested in ETH and BNB platforms because these are the platforms that have many successful projects in the past and are always trusted by people, so the decentralized exchanges of these platforms are very past success.

bisq is planning to increase trading volume and the management dedicates a monthly budget to increase the user base.
i quote from the bisq blog article Bisq Q1 2020 Update: Goals and Reorganization posted by Chris Beams and Steve Jain on 10 February 2020

Growth

Budget: 10,700 USD

Lead: m52go

Growth efforts were intentionally muted through much of 2019 because of the DAO launch, bank account fraud incidents, and other factors that made it unsuitable to attract new users to Bisq. The v1.0 and v1.2 releases solved many of these issues.

As it stands at the beginning of 2020, the Bisq software isn’t perfect, but it’s ready for more users and more volume. We’re looking to hit and sustain 2,100 BTC of trading volume per month as soon as possible. Although this is a big improvement from Bisq’s current monthly volume, there were months in 2019 in which Bisq trading volume far exceeded 2,100 BTC.

We plan to achieve this higher, more consistent trading volume with a smarter, more consistent approach to market-making and community engagement:

1.  Develop and promote strategic market-making bounties. The USD, EUR, and XMR markets are strong on Bisq, but volume fluctuates and liquidity is not consistent. We will incentivize consistent, desirable liquidity by making sure Bisq always has offers key markets that people want.

2.  Develop and nurture stronger ties with the community. Bisq already has a good amount of word-of-mouth among those in its key demographics across a range of channels, but it needs to more proactively insert itself into more conversations and give more people more reasons to use Bisq.

We intend for this two-pronged approach to spark more supply (availability of attractive offers) and demand (users who take offers). We expect consistent execution of this approach to lead to consistently higher supply and demand.

To measure success, we will continue to measure the usual volume metrics (e.g., total volume per unit of time, trades per unit of time, etc), but we will also add new liquidity metrics to better reflect users’ trading experiences: average spread, offer size, depth, volume, etc.

For me, Binance Dex is the best at the moment because this exchange has a lot of good coins for people to choose from and the liquidity here is very stable so this is the best decentralized exchange. As far as I know, exchanges like Idex, Forkdelta are not showing any improvement this year and will definitely cause you to have a lot of liquidity problems. Of course everyone will have different choices and you should decide for yourself.

[layer1gfx]

sometimes forkdelta is great to get some tokens very cheap off the desperate hands of a bounty hunter. i caught some good offers on FD here and then.
but in general, it is not great if you look at the volume or the user experience.

binance DEX is probably the most sophisticated DEX website out there even if i doubt its "decentralized" character a bit.

i decided to go with BISQ because the community is awesome and contributors are welcome to participate. i think the new approach to improve it in 2020 looks promising.

[tbterryboy]

Your opinion on this matter? I do not have such, all existing decentralized exchange, in my opinion, have disadvantages

There are lots of good DEX out there that you can use, but people don’t pick interest in DEX except that a centralized exchange is hacked and they start looking for decentralized exchanges to trade on. DEX are good but they are not easy to trade like when you’re trading with Centralized exchanges. As for the best DEX I have seen so far and the ones I have used, the number one on my list is Bisq, I just like how their exchange is designed, it looks really good.

The next other good decentralized exchange is IDEX, this one is already very popular and you might have heard about it, It was even the first decentralized exchange that I got to know about. Then if you’re making use of Binance you might know about their launched Binance DEX.

There are plenty of options for investors, but decentralized exchanges often do not have a high level of liquidity and that makes some coins here very difficult. Currently, I often use IDEX because there are a lot of coins from the bounty campaign listed here and if I'm lucky I can sell at a very high price.

However, recently these exchanges are lacking in liquidity and that is why the participants feel very depressed.

[layer1gfx]

for some users the staking options on IDEX might be very interesting:
https://blog.idex.io/all-posts/staking-in-style-how-idex-staking-stacks-up

meanwhile, Bisq is seeing some serious trading on the BTC/USD market:

It's a lively night on the Bisq network, especially in BTC/USD.

There's a whole WALL of offers that will **get you signed** so you can finally trade >0.01 BTC.

Take advantage!

The Binance DEX is fake news lol, I wouldn't call it a decentralized exchange, as it's supposed to be, it's just a masquerade.

Since when a DEX will ask you your personal information. (if I'm correct this exchange will require the KYC verification). Secondly, it's not decentralized, there is a central authority behind. If a day the site is hacked you will understand what I mean. Also, users will have to trust the dex that 1 btc.b = 1 BTC always.

You can call it 'hybrid' like Cryptobridge was. As for the title, +1 for Bisq

Hard to trust binance this time after they did to steemit. Its not a real DEX when you get to have a BEP address and tokens will be stored to their platform. Scary to learn already that this Chinese exchanges are controlling everything even in CEX and not they are up to also grab some control to the DEX.   

Bisq is a good one and I there's more like the blocknet DEX where you have to install. They should jsut have more indicators to these dex after all it needs installation, 64bit computers can handle it all.

[layer1gfx]

Bisq is definitely making progress and the community is testing now new strategies to get more liquidity...
Some figures from last week have been posted on the keybase channel.
I posted the details in the currently started new Bisq ANN thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230289.msg53999212#msg53999212

More details about the growth team and strategies can be found on the wiki page:

I also vaguely remember this but can't find any credible source. So far I can still use it but they've already geoblock user IPs from various countries. But they did touch this issue when they talked about their IDO thing[1].

Its not a real DEX when you get to have a BEP address and tokens will be stored to their platform.

What do you mean? I don't remember sending my tokens to a dedicated address if I want to exchange by BEP based tokens in Trust Wallet.

In my own opinion I would say that all existing decentralized exchanges have same disadvantages (if that's what we call it) and that is low volume and unfriendly user interface. These disadvantages cuts across all decentralized exchanges which is why centralized exchanges are better than them but only in those aspects, that is, volume and good features. However, talking about the best Dex i will say DDEX first then Bisq, Blocknet and lastly Idex.

[Kelvinid]

Have this list;
https://cryptobriefing.com/dex-top-10-decentralized-exchange-picks/

Only Bisq supported Bitcoin while the rest of them are Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens.
Using DEX for Bitcoin will give you one choice to take rather than using CEX which there's a lot of it. I don't really say that DEXes are not good exchangers but the fact that we only have limited options who supported Bitcoin for trades we can't either outsource others unlike if we use centralized exchanges where we can able to choose which is better and have a huge market volume which is very important.
This is a reason why there are a lot of CEX users than DEX this time.
