Other than that it seems to be the most reliable one, can you rearrange them according to reliability, member reviews or fees?

Member's reviews from platforms like TrustPilot? If so, then I think that would be a waste of time since these reviews can be bought. I'm not sure about ordering them by fees either, since these don't differ much.

I am seeing that totle swap has many options but no BTC option. Strange!

Are you sure those above-mentioned sites are trusted enough?

Regards

You're referring to Totle and LS or the ones suggested by LeGaulois? If the former, then I'm not sure, that's why I didn't add them to the list yet, I'm looking for some reviews from people who used them.

Looks like they do have KYC, but on a case-by-case basis. So in the KYC field it should say something like "No/depends".

I found a couple of more exchanges (Totle.com and LiquidSwap.com). Has anyone tried them before?

I will try those with USDC.

OP does coinswitch.co also fall in this category of instant exchanges? If it does then here are the details:

Not sure. Mind explaining how does the exchange exactly works? It looks more of a search engine.

I can see that whenever you choose the pairs you want to trade, a list of exchanges is given to you. Do they buy the crypto from these exchanges using their accounts API and then re-sell it on their platform?

@OmegaStarScream here is the some details that would help you understand how CoinSwitch.co works.

About CoinSwitch:
CoinSwitch.co is the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange aggregator. It provides an exchange service of over 300 cryptocurrencies and over 45,000 pairs from leading exchanges like Binance, HUOBI, Ethfinex, KuCoin, HitBTC, and IDEX. It provides an easy way for users to trade coins across multiple exchanges based on price and reliability.

Step by Step Youtube Tutorial to make an order at Coinswitch :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9P1MilTbW0

Their fee:
CoinSwitch charges a fee of 0% to 0.49% depending on the exchange you select for your transaction. The conversion rate you see is inclusive of the fees.
Note: This fees does not include any amount charged by the exchange itself and the network fee.

These information is from their FAQ page:
https://coinswitch.co/#faq

Hope this would help.

CoinSwitch - one of the best instant exchanges aggregator available out there - really should be on that list

@OmegaStarScream
Thanks for compiling that list! It's very useful.

Since we're starting to see more and more "Instant exchanges" lately, and Changelly/ShapeShift are no longer controlling that market. I decided to make a list of these exchanges, hopefully some of you might find it helpful.

Hello,

We are sorry to see our service marked as not recommended to use in your list. Changelly has been operating since 2015, and many users from all over the world have trusted us to exchange their funds since.
Regarding the links you posted, 2 of them are related to an issue that occurred on another service and has nothing to do with Changelly. In regards to the KYC procedure, the transaction in question was completed and the customer received a full refund.
Actually, speaking of KYC checks: this procedure was implemented in order to comply with the regulators’ policies and combat money laundering. We process a huge number of transactions daily and KYC helps us prevent fraud and, consequently, protect innocent users. There are plenty of cases when we receive hacked crypto from different services, like Bancor, Coincheck, Bithumb and so forth. We also help legal authorities find hackers and return the stolen money. In fact, 99.9% of all transactions do not go through the KYC check.
Changelly team would like to offer you an opportunity to make a transaction on our service and tell Bitcointalk users about your experience. Please DM us so we could discuss the details.

The only exchanges I would trust from that list are changelly and shapeshift

This can't be an objective opinion because i don't expect you had try all the exchanges in the list. Some of them are also trusted even more than Changelly and Shapeshift.
You somehow missed to take a look at the accusations against them listed in a previous post :

Quote from: OmegaStarScream on January 31, 2020, 09:28:49 AM

Changelly:
- Suddenly changelly requires a KYC / AML procedure. But how do I proof ownership of my coins??
- CHANGELLY - Illegal exchanger from RUSSIA with FAKE team
- Russian Changelly, Atomic Wallet, ChangeNOW, Guarda, Ink.one, Evercode Lab

As long they are proven guilty, i can't trust them or recommend them to others even i didn't face any issue while using them.

Quote from: andulolika on February 16, 2020, 10:26:28 AM

you didn't add xchange from freebitcoins.

This is a good one but not that much popular. Maybe more trusted than Changelly and Shapeshift. I wish people won't get confused with xchange.me which is another project (no reviews) or with xchange trading app which is a confirmed scam.

Keeping changelly's name on the list is pretty much recommending people to use it, and I don't think the name should be on the list.

But would censoring help in the long run? Even if they didn't see the shady exchanges here, there's still a fair chance they would in other places especially for popular exchanges like Changelly. Worse it could be a positive content that can lead to them trying the exchange and encounter problems like stuck funds.

There are two reasons why I won't try an exchange (talking about first try), it's either I have no idea it existed or I know it's too risky. I think it's better this way laying it all out. Since they're here viewing this thread might as well see what needs to be seen.

Maybe op can put an addition to the emoji for warnings like what @figmentofmyass suggested making it impossible not to check their scam accusations? lastly, how about placing the legend on top before the first exchange?

i still see lots of people who swear by changelly (some of whom posted in this thread). it reminds me of the situation with BTC-E a few years ago: the vast majority of people had no issues with them, but a few people got selectively scammed. that was enough to paint their bitcointalk account red, but nevertheless, BTC-E was still widely trusted across the entire ecosystem. i used (and trusted) BTC-E until the day they were taken down.

maybe there is some middle ground here?

I mean, the same logic could also be applied to yobit also then, because not everyone on yobit has been scammed either. But will you recommend people to use yobit? I don't think any sane person would willingly do so.

I had genuinely thought changelly and shapeshift could change the exchange game in the market back then, and the change did happen, but in more of a negative way, so yeah I wouldn't recommend people to use changelly. Keeping changelly's name on the list is pretty much recommending people to use it, and I don't think the name should be on the list.

Flying Hellfish is a Commie

Just after doing some inital looking at some of the fees (the difference in exchange rate between some sites and a site like binance) This would mean that the fee (or convenience fee) for using a site like FixedFloat would be in the realm of .6-.5 percent. So about 1/2 a percent. This means that when they say fixed float, they're not messing around.

Not that bad to be honest, I think that's pretty solid if you want to try to be as anonymous as possible or if you want to use the LN (which is possible on Fixed Float)

Going to be trying some of the sites out and editing this soon.

@OmegaStarScream i recommend adding a new heading (like "scam accusations") under changelly, changehero, and similar exchanges. most people probably won't scroll to the bottom to read the legend.

Also, why keep exchanges like Changelly and Changehero on the list? They are shady at the least, and if people use this thread as a basis to go changelly and get their coins stuck or anything, then the whole point of this thread would be in vain.

Okay firstly, thank you for this list, it feels good to have multiple alternatives to shapeshift. The KYC requirement for their exchange saddened me to quite an extent. I have heard quite a lot about flyp.me, so I might give it a go. Also, Coinswitch seems amazing, its apparently an instant exchange that takes offers from other exchanges, automatically trades for you, and sends you your desired currency. Gotta admit, its pretty dope.

Thanks for the list, I want to try Godex because that site doesn't require registration and no KYC why it has been not popular yet when shapeshift and chagelly has lot of issues recently? Huh

They can be trusted for any amount?

I think it's a matter of time before Godex goes hard on the KYC stuff. Remember, Changelly was like that when it started operations until it had to force users (I was affected too) to a mandatory KYC. Let's enjoy the Godex moment while it lasts. This isn't taking anything away from the OP's compilation compilation.
