[Unofficial] Boltz exchange - Bitcoin atomic swaps

Judging by their reply in that screenshot you posted, it's a problem that Alchemy and its team need to fix. Perhaps the issue only exists when you use the Onion version of Boltz, while on clearnet it works as it should. How did you perform the swap? Did you do it over Tor or clearnet?

I started the swap over Tor.

Updating you all:

The swap continued to have problems, failing to communicate with this Alchemy. After about 24 hours, the refund button appeared, so I received my funds back in full, minus the fees.



One thing they said is that even if I close the tab, as long as I have the rescue key, I can restore the swap. However, when I upload the rescue key in another browser, I can't access the swap, it only appears listed, but is never accessible. Boltz's UX needs to be greatly improved.

It's good that you got your refund. Bad experience overall, though.

Thanks for the feedback. Anyone thinking of using the current beta version of Boltz over Tor should keep this in mind. I hope these problems don't occur with other assets on the clearnet and the official release.
What does it mean when you said that you can't access the swap and that it only appears as listed? What is "listed" and what was missing?

Boltz exchange has now launched USDC swaps on its main platform. Previously, it was only available over the beta site. Just as it was during the beta testing stage, users can select from several blockchains, such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, Base, Tron, etc., and swap for bitcoin, LN, LBTC, RBTC, etc.

I hope that Boltz was able to fix and improve the service so we don't see the things that Forsyth Jones experienced when he tried to swap.

I also saw that they added USDt and USDc to the .onion link as swap options as well... previously, they had removed USDt from the .onion domain after my report to support.

I haven't needed to use boltz after this episode, as I use them when I need to swap amounts in Liquid. I hope everything is working well.
