eXch - instant exchange BTC / LN / XMR / LTC / ETH / ERC20

[fillippone]

Good morning,
My 20k exchange has now been finally confirmed and I have received my coins - for me the problem is solved.
Greetings

I did a small exchange between two shitcoin to test the functioning of the website, and all went smoothly.
 

We now have a dedicated forum support operator that is available to answer exchange and order-related questions via PM or in this thread.
eXch Support (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=317539)

Suggestion: leave feedback to confirm this on the Support account.

This is a good idea.
I'm glad to see this account has been used slightly over the last few days. Hopefully, it will stay active in supporting the community.

I know right my transaction has been on hold and it's quite large and they won't refund me, I don't know if it's a potential exit scam or what it's not FUD if they are actively holding users funds. And on top of that ("All systems operational"). Also due to onion site being offline, makes me think the site could of been taken down by law enforcement, due to the lax regulation. Which btw is not why I use it. I just used it because of low fees but anyways just a heads up don't use service till this is resolved. Also I just realised that the account that has been commenting "eXch Support" which made a comment "Hi, I confirm that we are currently experiencing some technical problem. All orders will be processed as soon as possible, our relevant team is working to solve the problem." on December 27, 2024. This account seems to be a different one to the ones they normally use being that the original has a "Full Member" Position and this one that made the comment has a "Newbie" Position. Ohhh well if I got scammed no point in crying I can't do anything this should just make someone who has the skills create a dex of this, and maybe include privacy coins. We will see what happens but at least new transactions should be halted and or system updated. And current transactions able to make refunds. Regardless nothing I can do now guess I will just have to hope I get my coins.

When the system has problems, you should stop the automatic exchange service, or issue a notice asking users not to send funds to you.
Instead of letting more users' funds be stuck with you.
Hope to refund users as soon as possible.

Hi, eXch was not taken by law enforcement, and is not exit scamming.

We are sorry for the delay which was necessary to process the orders, there was some hardware failure on the database node. It took some time because we had to replace some server part that was unavailable at the moment. This issue is now solved and all operations are restored and fully functional.

(By the way, the official eXch account already confirmed that eXch Support is legit in at least 2 forum messages : 1 (last line) + 2)

My funds are stuck for 2 hours. I need help.

If you still have any problem with your order, please contact me in private with your order number.

Hi yes I can confirm all went through and is good, however a suggestion from me would to update system status when issues happen just so nobody is unclear about any issues that are happening before an exchange. Anyways all is resolved and I hope exch continues to thrive and prosper.

They should have an https://exch.cx/status page along with some software that monitors the RPC connections to their various full nodes as well as to their website and other systemd services, so that they can easily write [ONLINE] [OFFLINE] statuses, and a benefit of that would be no privacy-invading scripts or web services required. Can be done with jQuery and Bootstrap.

I was a bit puzzled why eXch didn't quite update their status page during the last technical issues. Understandably some users with stuck transactions complained because likely they wouldn't have had initiated transactions knowing there have been pending issues.

It seems to me that eXch's status page isn't fully automatic and this is maybe for a good reason. If it were automatic, as also NotATether suggests, there would be an incentive for attackers or competitors to disrupt and exploit the automatism. It's simple, if you can easier trigger a less favourable service status of eXch for potential customers, those will likely hold or not do a transaction thus hampering eXch's business. I guess eXch has some human judgement involved for their service status page.

I know and understand, it's no funny experience when you start a transaction with eXch and things don't run as smoothly as usual. Good to read and see that reported issues here are properly resolved.

We do not know everything that happens in the exch backend and how many potential threats were prevented before they even managed to affect the smooth functioning of the service. I'm not sure how useful automation would be in such cases.

I congratulate everyone on the upcoming New Year! 🎅

You are all amazing and every time I read the posts in this thread I admire what a close-knit community we managed to build together around eXch. If you allow me, I would like to announce that among the 16 most active visitors of this thread, a crypto capsule with eXch attributes will be raffled off.

The winner will be determined by the last block mined in the outgoing year (UTC).

Thank you Icopress and eXch for organising this.
It has been a great year and I wish eXch, Icopress and all signature members a prosperous 2025!

Congratulations on the initiative. We will be waiting for your comment.




However, a doubt arose in my mind.
What happens when we try to exchange for a currency that does not exist in reserve?

For example, at the time of this post XMR has zero reserves. If I try to convert BTC to XMR what happens?

Great initiative and excellent idea, thank you!
I wish a happy upcoming year to all participants of this thread!

You can create a backorder.
You can see eXch support's answer here:

As nc50lc mentioned, XMR is in high demand and our reserves are regularly empty.

However, as you can see in our last 24h volumes, we have not removed it (nor planning to do for now), and if you would like to get XMR when it's empty you can still open a backorder (this is done like any other order), and wait for the required reserve to become available. Once the reserve is available, the order gets executed in a priority automatically. Meanwhile the order is awaiting for reserves, there is an option to request for an automatic refund anytime if you consider a refund necessary.

Thanks for the clarification. I was sent this post and didn't memorize it.

I think the relevant point is that it will always be possible to reverse this exchange order if it takes longer than expected.

Thank you, icopress and eXch, for an amazing year in this campaign! It was a pleasure with icopress's reliable and professional campaign management and eXch's awesome exchange services. May 2025 bring us a similarly smooth experience, good health and joy for everybody here. Less war and more peace in 2025+ is high on my wish list, too.

Many thanks for the nice raffle surprise, too!

Keep calm and hodl...

I am happy to see eXch website is working fine again and that everything is resolved, they are constantly under attack and some people don't know about that.
Only thing I know that has 99.989% uptime since it's creation is Bitcoin, everything else can have issues sometimes.

Big thanks to guys from eXch and icopress for everything, and let's make year 2025 better together

I am proud to be mentioned in this announcement thread of such great service!
Congratulations icopress and exch for such a great year in bitcointalk and for the cryptocurrencies and general

[JollyGood]

Thank you icopress for another generous endeavour on your part, I am sure all of the members contributing in this thread appreciate the new year raffle. Also, it is good to see the eXch website back in full working order. It must have been a highly orchestrated attack in order to affect the eXch servers for that long but thankfully it is over.

I want to wish a happy new year to all of you and to eXch, the best instant exchange in my humble opinion. I also want to thank the entire team for making it possible. Keep up the great work for many years to come!

I remember when there was some talk in this thread about this particular situation. I even asked something similar at one point. After eXch answered, I suggested that they could add this information to their Q&A section because, surely, more people are going to be asking the same in the future. I hope they will do that at one point.

Excellent initiative icopress! Happy New Year everyone!

Thank you eXch and @icopress for the award.

I will reply to your PM later. Thank you. 

[brett6934]

any particular reason why?

This has been discussed multiples times, even on the last but one page of the thread (page 56), or on the following messages:

I know that there was a discussion about it earlier, but what is the final statement, will there be or is it planned to integrate other "cheaper" networks than Ethereum and ERC20? I imagine that many would like the possibility of swapping to TRC20.

Most likely not and specially if the purpose of supporting the whole new network is only because of 1 stablecoin (USDT). USDC is quitting Tron by February 2025, DAI is Ethereum only, other stablecoins are either scam or potential scam. Almost every crypto company looks like this https://youtube.com/watch?v=soNnMObpiYM so I think you might understand our lack of motivation to support centralized stablecoins (we support them with risks assumed).

Will you add new networks/tokens/coins in the future?

Yes, but only reliable ones and turns our there are very few exist with a such characteristic.

But u have USDT ERC20 what makes it better then TRC20?

the reaason why i ask is because TRC20 is cheaper to use and more popular then USDT ERC20
