My take is this:

- Do you want strong privacy? If yes, buy Monero, because if you care about privacy, you'd probably prefer the best privacy protection with the least cost. Otherwise, buy bitcoin.

It's really that simple. In terms of performance, nobody beats bitcoin. People who are into the space for years know this, and store their savings in bitcoin. Is bitcoin the most convenient cryptocurrency to pay merchants? No. Monero, for example, is faster on-chain, cheaper and you don't have to select which txo to spend, as amounts are hidden.

Everything else that offers less privacy, or is less decentralized (e.g., Dash) will go obsolete, because if you're going to trade bitcoin, then there is no reason not to have the best privacy for so little cost.

Dash used to be a top10 coin in 2017, now it is about 170 in market cap rank.

I think most people lost interest because of its terrible performance in the past 7 years or so

DASH 193.66257456 24h trading volume 
Why has interest in this coin dropped so much?
I hope that even this small volume of trading with it, manages to cover the maintenance costs and that low profitability will not be a reason to remove it from the offer.

Hi, we have responded to all support tickets already. Please check your order.

As mentioned in our answer, our ETH node crashed and is currently resyncing.  All orders will be processed automatically when the node will be back to the normal state, it can take a few hours.

Edit: all relevant transactions are now processed, issue solved

It's easiest to point the finger at someone these days, especially if you know that someone won't or can't retaliate with something concrete, such as a defamation lawsuit. I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but as I've been following this topic, I've noticed that this isn't the first time someone has made these or similar accusations without clear evidence.

We have to correct ZachXBT on his recent post where he mentioned eXch:

For the public record, we hereby state that there are absolutely no indications of these funds exchanged through us being converted to Litecoin.

Meanwhile we couldn't extract the data to determine what currency was used exactly because we do not store any order data more than 15 days, we were still able to confirm that our node sent no identical LTC payments within that time frame, thus the affirmation about Litecoin outputs ZachXBT posted in his Tweet is 100% erroneous.

We have used the same technique ZachXBT and other investigators often use in investigations (on-chain transaction timing correlation across a set of different blockchains) to verify the veracity of ZachXBT's results and since we got more resource for that being the entity he tried to investigate, we were able to determine the absence of Litecoin transfers with more precision, confirming that the information published by ZachXBT assuming Litecoin outputs is false.

We hope amateur investigators like ZachXBT could reduce the amount of information based on assumptions in their publications, since they perfectly know that most of their audience can be easily misinformed with marketing purposes. It is also important to highlight that with mistakes like that amateur investigators like ZachXBT may put in danger innocent users who might be targeted by law enforcement by mistake because they (LE) often rely on information provided by amateur CT investigators like ZachXBT, EvilCos, Fun, SomaXBT, Tayvano and some others without additional verification or confirmation.

To be clear, we have reached ZachXBT with a correction comment before publishing this however did not receive any response.

At such moments I smile (I think eXch does too).  

Btw, if someone is expecting a correction, now is the time to make an exchange (at this very minute 180.00 USDT is available).

I don't know if they just got lazy or left everything to the AI. I always clearly provide a link to the original website with such reports, and I don't see how human intelligence would have any doubts about whether the report is good or bad. Some 5-6 years ago, most reports would have been resolved in 24-48 hours, we just have to see if we will be lucky enough to be noticed this time.

I haven't used eXch, but while assembling mock trades I noticed the more you trade the lower their fee percentage becomes.

As for arbitrage, with prices of various currencies being so volatile at the moment, a day trader could do quite well.  Or, lose the farm.  In my case my fear of the latter is significantly higher than my faith in the former.

That would make sense for the transaction fee, which is fixed. The trading fee is a percentage.

I don't expect much traders though: eXch follows the rates of other exchanges, so there's not much space for arbitrage trading.

Those complaints were sometimes unfounded. It's true that eXch often lacks ether and stablecoins, but the person who was complaining about monero, claimed there was never any reserves of it at all (if I remember correctly). That isn't true. They have monero available, but due to a big demand, the reserves often get depleted. As I am writing this post there is around 1000 XMR up for grabs.

Regarding day traders, I don't think they would be that interested in eXch. The fees are low for a privacy-centered exchange, but you will still get better rates on CEXs where most of the day trading takes place.

Day traders, you mean people using eXch for day trading?

I imagine that's going to be quite expensive unless absolutely huge values of crypto were traded at once (for example: tends of thousands of dollars worth) so as to make the exchange fee negligible.

I don't think anyone would use an exchanger for trading though - the fees would be too much.

Lately, there have been dissatisfied users because there was not enough XMR or ETH in the reserves. At times almost all eXch reserves were in BTC, obviously day traders also used this exchange.
We can only guess what kind of mess it would be if there were more different coins and networks. On that side, I understand the exch team more clear that they are not expanding the list of supported coins.

Welcome to the club. People can be skeptical of eXch, but all that skepticism goes out the window the first time they try it. My only complaint is that they are sometimes low on stablecoins in situations where I need them, and they don't support them on other networks other than Ethereum. I would also prefer paying less exchange fees when swapping for monero. Other than that, it's pretty great.

I wouldn't bother too much about what ranking websites list. They go for the popular brands and copy from one another with a few changes. If you check a source like KYCnot.me, you will find eXch among the best-rated exchanges.

Even if the favicon.ico (not "coin") can be used for tracking, that doesn't matter for sites where you use an account.

It's pump season for Bitcoin, which also means it's phishing season. So everyone should be very careful about which websites they visit.

I don't think so. This is a bitcoin forum, not a privacy oriented forum. Bitcointalk is doing ok imo, balancing usability and privacy.

The favicon attack discussion is interesting, but to my knowledge, it would not be very relevant for exch (correct me if I'm wrong!).

I've read the page about the supercookie attack and the idea seems to be that a website could redirect users (on their own site, of course) across different favicons to assign it an unique user ID and then re-check the ID every time the website is visited via checking which ones of these favicons have been stored. But only the website itself can, at later visits, re-check that user ID. Thus the method is useful if a webmaster wants to know if an user has already visited the site, and what they're doing on the site. Of course this would mainly make sense inside of ads or iframes, or on large sites like social networks.

Now of course in theory if exch adds a favicon it could perform this attack too and track users even if they don't log the IP address. But it would be probably easily detectable if I'm not wrong. And I heavily doubt that they would like to destroy their excellent reputation that way

AFAIK with this attack it is not possible to enable another website to know that you visited exch if exch is not cooperating (and adding such a "tracker favicon iframe" which installs the "supercookie" to their website).

Should bitcointalk forum also remove favicoin?  
I wouldn't worry about favicons so much, but this sounds something similar like tiny pixels sent with email to track receiver and notify sender if he opened email.
And I really don't think that eXch needs to have any favicon, short domain name is enough to look unique.

Librewolf is the best fork of Firefox browser I know, but recently there was new browser called Zen as another interesting fork.
