MODERATORS
 

Now that my go-to exchange Tradeogre has been fedded, I'm looking for alternatives to swap relatively good amounts from and to XMR.

I've heard bad stories about ChangeNOW, Changelly, and FixFloat. On Reddit are full of posts where people accuse them of being scams or having funds locked. (Same happened to a friend)

Hopefully someone here has some good suggestions.

Obtaining XMR on some crypto swap services (like Changenow, Changelly, Fixedfloat, Morphtoken etc. etc.) and centralized exchanges share trade/IP (log valuable) data directly with investigators or Chainalysis systems.

Just because their trading rates are competitive and low (%1 - %2), don’t be fooled.

We have our own reserves and do not rely on third-party exchanges. We also do not perform AML/KYC checks, never.

See the Trocador link on the side at monero town main page.

Brother, Trocador uses APIs from other exchanges like Changenow. I’d rather not lol.

Have you tried Retoswap?

I mean you need a PC to trade on (mobile is coming) and it's not instant, but most people are very quick with crypto<=>XMR swaps so it feel basically instant.

I know Reto, it’s pretty good, I’ve used it a couple times but the buy/sell limits and liquidity are the downside for me. Also something functional on mobile would be better in my case.

Will post here if I find something.
