Even .com domain can fool people. For example, exchcx.com could fool someone. This is user responsibility to double check domain name.

In fact, any domain, it may be possible to be deceived. And logically it is up to the user to check which domain they are actually entering.

On the other hand, there are areas that are easier to reduce errors or for the user to be deceived than others.

This is much easier to remember. The cx TLD is too hard to remember as I already posted in my last post.

.cx it's not hard to remember, it's just unusual,

I thought the name of the service was exch.cx until few weeks ago Cheesy

I think it is a good name. I have no problem with that domain name.

For example I see many exhcnages adding support for USDC as it is now one of the few stablecoins allowed in Europe (like it or not).

USDC is the second most popular stablecoin, and providing support for it makes sense if you are running an exchange service. But the point is the following: Adding support for USDC on Hedera and Flow and not doing it for Ethereum, Solana, and/or Arbitrum (https://www.circle.com/en/multi-chain-usdc) would be a weird business decision. You would be neglecting that which is the most popular in the community to support something that is least used.

Any chance you might consider adding support for DOGE? Transactions so fast & cheap, plus I think its due for a nice pump -- could see increased demand for that as an option throughout the second half of the year.

Considering that this coin has always had great support from the community, I think that its addition would bring even more users to the platform. The campaign signature states that more coins will be available soon, and considering that some have already asked about the same coin, I have no doubt that it is one of those in the shortlist.

I am, once more, asking why exch does not offer a 3-5% premium to monero sellers seeing how there is unlimited demand for it on the exchange at virtually any price.

Help us help you.

Just a small contribution to the discussion about the feature request to add stablecoins with lower fees:

Some options which weren't discussed here still are USDC on Stellar and USDT on TON (The Open Network, the "Telegram chain").

Nothing against your suggestions, but I see no logic in adding support for blockchains and their tokens on stellar or TON if they replied negatively to adding USDT over Tron, which is the 1st or 2nd most popular blockchain for the tether stablecoin. Unless those two networks are starting to dominate compared to the TRC20 version of USDT in terms of trading volume, why provide support for something from the bottom of the popularity list?!

Maybe exchanges are prioritising some chains over others based on considerations that are different from pure customer efficiency.

I think a great many would also be very sceptical of BAMK too as almost nothing is known about them but there is other news in a different thread. There is another thread with details on Lightning Labs (the team that created the Lightning Network on Bitcoin) running successful tests for Stablecoins on Bitcoin blockchain.

I suppose have a tried and tested as well as trusted group launching a new addition on the bitcoin network would carry far more weight than a start-up but they also will have to convince people. Clearly there will not be community consensus when it comes to this. Even in that thread the idea did not receive universal acclaim or support.

I'd like to see a low-fee stable coin (not based on Binance). High transaction fees make them pointless for what I'd use them for.

Just a small contribution to the discussion about the feature request to add stablecoins with lower fees:

Some options which weren't discussed here still are USDC on Stellar and USDT on TON (The Open Network, the "Telegram chain"). I'm no expert regarding these two chains, but Stellar is already around a lot of time (2014/15) and may be an interesting option perhaps, even if it's a bit less popular than Tron or Polygon. TON seems to have become quite popular, so also the main token may be an interesting addition, although of course I don't know how trustworthy the founders are and if the hype lasts for more than a year or so ...

If Stellar/TON have already been discussed disregard this post

It would be of course ideal to have a stablecoin on the Bitcoin chain (Tether on Omni unfortunately is being discontinued) or for example LTC so it could be supported easily on exch. I've seen a proposal for a stablecoin on BTC via the Runes protocol Roll Eyes

Any chance you might consider adding support for DOGE?

bitmover suggested adding support for dogecoin back in January, but we didn't get a direct response from the eXch team for that particular asset. Considering that all other suggestions for adding new coins/tokens and new blockchains haven't been successful, I doubt things will be different for dogecoin.

Happy New year 🤗

It seems that there are many similar domain names that just recently registered I found a few of them

Code:

- exch.zone
- exch.site
- exch.trade

These domains are taken but it's not hosted yet so these might be potential phishing sites in the future or these might be hacker's reserve domains once the other phishing sites are taken down they can later hosted a new phishing site using these domains.

We should really be careful sometimes they can also hijack traffic I heard that there are ways to hijack traffic directly from official site and redirect them to phishing sites.

exch[.]ac currently hosts a website that is a phishing copy targeting our original service (eXch).

I see the list of websites impersonatig eXch and this worries me and also brings me some bad memories... In the era before mixers were banned there were plenty websites impersonating a particular mixer.
If I remember well, paid2 did many efforts in that period and managed to take down a bunch of those copycats.

Perhaps he could share his expertise here...? Or give a hand of help once more...?

WARNING: exch[.]ac - PHISHING WEBSITE!!!

exch[.]ac currently hosts a website that is a phishing copy targeting our original service (eXch).

This phishing website was done with lots of mistakes that immediately expose lack of authenticity:

- Uses Cloudflare's reverse-proxy service with a misconfigured account requiring CAPTCHA verification for Tor users and also exposing its users at risk by using state-sponsored MITM servers (eXch doesn't use the Cloudflare reverse-proxy service)
- Order IDs are 20-char length (our service's are 18-char length)
- BTC amounts without a leading zero when start with a leading zero (for example .0007, while on our website it's always 0.0007)
- Public PGP key of unusual size compared to ours.
- And so on...

BE CAREFUL!

Even sites with a very traditional .com domain have loads of phishing duplicates. And changing URL now makes it only worse.

It would be good if someone could create a tool or service that could scan one website and find all the clones with different domains, maybe even creating alert notification when new clone appears.
I am giving small homework to out crypto developers in forum to create something like this, unless something similar already exist Wink

We can use this for eXch, bitcointalk forum, and for any other service or exchange.

That explains a lot, thank you for the explanation and the link.

The fact Cloudflare are (or seem to be) engaging in suspending websites that are phishing is very welcomed. In my opinion it is the right course of action because they should take any form of preventative measures to protect consumers that visit websites using which are using Cloudflare nameservers otherwise it could appear that they are complicit by virtue of inaction after receiving reports.

I have no reason to assume anything contrary but for one reason or another I had never seen any warning of that type from Cloudflare before. I am glad they have that protection in place as it acts as a warning to people that could have stumbled across those websites. As clone website get used more and more in scamming attempts maybe we will see these warning far more often than before.

These warnings will appear if you file a report through this [link] about the phishing site and after the Cloudflare team confirms the abuse of their service based on the evidence and details you provided in the form.

I was looking for the reason for .cx ccTLD and found the followings

Quote

Customer Experience
A .cx domain can be used to create a website dedicated to communicating with customers, or to show a business's commitment to providing a great customer experience.
Cryptocurrency
The .cx domain can also refer to a "crypto exchange" and may be a good choice for cryptocurrency sites.
Christmas Island
The .cx domain can be used by businesses that target residents of Christmas Island, which is located in the Indian Ocean south of Indonesia.

So the crypto exchange represents the ccTLD .cx. It's now confusing me with .ce

This just shows that there was a good marketing team promoting the idea that .cx was good for crypto businesses.

.cx has always been a top Christmas Island domain. But the similarity is with .tv - Tuvalu's top-level domain, which has become an excellent source of revenue for the country. The same thing they want to do with .cx. Some tried to sell the idea that .tv was a good domain for television channels. But, even today, there are few televisions that have adopted this idea.

People must keep in mind that these types of top-level domains continue to be references in their respective countries. And search engines continue to classify these ccTLDs as being from a certain country or for the target audience of that country.
