Following the recent El Capo situation, I have a genuine question for Pablo.Cash: how can users be confident that the escrow coverage is sufficient in the event of a larger-scale failure? $18k total is a good start for a new service, but for transactions in the $50k–$100k range, the coverage is relatively thin. Do you have plans to scale the escrow deposits over time as transaction volume grows?
Yes, we are already increasing our deposits: we have placed another $5,000 with AntiSwap. Its operator promised to confirm it here, but the deposit is already displayed on
our AntiSwap profile. Including AntiSwap, our deposits now total approximately $23,000.
We are still at the beginning of building our reputation and are not targeting large exchanges yet. If you need to exchange a larger amount, you can split it into smaller, sequential orders, waiting for each payout before sending the next. To limit exposure, keep each order within the applicable deposit amount-not the combined $23k, as coverage terms differ between platforms.
We will continue placing deposits with reputable monitors and directories, then prioritize further increases on the platforms bringing the most traffic and exchange volume.

There is no reason for you to swap $50k or $100k at once. Do it in batches of $10k, or even $5k. When you receive each batch, you go to the next one.
This way you don't lose your entire stack if anything goes wrong.
Agreed, TryNinja. Sequential smaller swaps, with each payout received before funding the next order, limit the amount at risk and can give users more peace of mind. Each batch should be a separate order with its own deposit address and saved PGP-signed guarantee.
