It's not going to be an aggregator. I was actually thinking of maybe a combination of both sites so basically:

- Rates
- Open source or not
- Monero support
- Supported networks/chains and coins (with the ability to filter)
- LN support
- link to Trustpilot reviews + the ability to review the exchange on the site as well
etc.

Your thoughts? Or do you still think it's a bit pointless?

I'll probably continue to maintain this list for a bit longer, but I was thinking about creating a website for it.

Is this going to be something like aggregator website to find the best rates for exchanges, or just list of all available exchanges with basic information about them and maybe short review with ref links?

You mean like BestChange.com or KYCnot.me? I get why it's useful to share experiences here on Bitcointalk, but don't really see the point of using another website.

I can make the API, if someone here is interested in helping with the frontend, preferably someone who's familiar with material design components (or any other good libraries) please let me know.

You should be able to access the site with an Indian VPN, I just did.

But as mentioned in the previous page, it doesn't look like they're operating as an instant exchange anymore. It's just fiat (INR) <> crypto app now and they recently launched "CoinSwitch Pro"[1] which acts as an aggregator for CEXes (Indian ones only) and is meant for arbitrage trading.

I remember now, I was able to see its transition from focusing on India's INR and saw that change of being a coinswitch PRO. By this means, it's no longer part of the list as it's no longer an instant exchange. Yes, I saw that you've removed it now on the list, thanks.

I left them a neg because they had lots of scam accusations around, including in their ANN thread, and they never bothered to come around to resolve them. Even their trust pilot is full of accusation to this date.

Initially they had a main account that got banned for some reason, and then they decided to use a couple of Alt accounts as reps, but they would still not resolve issues amicably, or they would just ignore the complaints

Maybe the ban made them abandon the forum.

Probably and they wouldn't mind anymore as they've transitioned and focused into their local market and I guess the forum doesn't mean anything to them anymore.

But despite that, they all started being popular in here though the main market of theirs is no longer gonna come from here.

I've checked their ANN thread and saw that their rep left a neg rep by logfiles. Probably there's a relation to why it's no longer accessible and if so, I guess it should be removed from the list.

Are you guys still able to use coinswitch? Even if I use a VPN or not, it's not allowing me to access the website. I've used them before and was having no issue at all until I can't access them anymore and I don't know if some changes have made.

That makes sense now. I wasn't able to see any TOS as they would even allow me to see the homepage of their platform

What I am curious about is if they still offer the instant exchange feature. The last time I check them, it seems they had changed the way they operate things to just buying and selling crypto for fiat. Is it still the case?

There is no trace of an instant exchange on the website.

Everything is about their new product which is basically a diet coinbase - you have an app for easy buy and sell and a pro version on the web for those wanting a trading terminal. On the pro version and from the screenshots available on their website, every trading pair is with fiat.

I haven't had the chance to look into their app as I probably have to KYC in order to access it and there seems to be no support articles about it on their website either but I expect it to be more or less the same. Further, If they do ever offer crypto swaps in there, it wouldn't fit into the instant exchanges category since you have to do the tedious steps of making an account, deposing into your wallet first, etc... instant exchanges removed as a selling point.

You forgot to remove coinswitch from the list mate Wink

Now they are even geo-blocking users. Is anyone else able to access it or does anyone know from which particular jurisdiction they are accepting clients?

According from their terms of service, they only service people from India but you can probably access the website from other countries as I used a Singapore IP for this lol.

Once you’ve registered via a 5 minute KYC process, you can start trading 100+ coins with no lock-in period. You can start with as little as ₹100.

Not sure what happened to coinswitch but I don't think it deserves to be on the list of instant exchanges anymore. The whole layout is now different. More like regular exchanges where you purchase or Bitcoin for fiat and vice versa. Like how coinbase.com operates.

I don't see the feature to instantly exchange crypto to crypto like it used to be.

That's strange. It does appear that they're no longer offering that service but I can't find any official statements from the team. CoinSwitch Kuber (the fiat exchange) officially launched back in 2020[1] but at the time, the exchange aggregator was still running... I'll remove it from the list, thanks for letting me know.

Removed from the list:

- MorphToken (the site is live but you can't exchange).
- InstaEx (the site is down as mentioned above).
- Fox.exchange (they're no longer operational, but you can still contact the support if you need help with an existing order).

I can see that there are some new (instant exchanges) added to KycNotMe: https://kycnot.me/

Has anyone tried them? Some of them are only available in Tor.

I've been using simpleswap since i came across it 2 years ago on hive blog post, it works fine. Had issue couple times, support resolved them promptly. Amounts were usually around $300, you may get scammed if you are very rich idk Tongue

It works well, even on Tor, but the exchange rate is quite bad.

Quote

(no kyc, but only uses our exchange on https://altquick.com/)

That's probably the reason for the bad exchange rate: the spread between Bid and Ask is very large for most coins.

- flyp.me added the lightning network a couple of months ago https://hive.blog/bitcoin/@flypme/instant-crypto-exchange-flyp-me-adds-support-for-bitcoin-lightning-network

- Instaex.io is offline

- CoinSwitch has changed I believe. It's now an app for phones in which Indians can buy cryptos after the KYC (from what I understand)

I don't think that you can assume that everyone is reading the ToS before using the services.

But everyone should do this before using anything, it's a matter of responsibility and due diligence. We can't complain if we haven't read "a contract" before using it. It's like if you take out a loan at the bank, don't you read the terms?

Quote from: LeGaulois on January 19, 2020, 12:37:12 PM

For me this is clearly false informations. Change it or make it explicit that they could ask for KYC.

I wouldn't call it misinformation but rather a lack of information or an omission, idk.
And I can't change anything, this is not my topic

Then he can change it like Flyp.me to No/depends instead of No.

And if you all know that then why is this information not shared before listing all services?
