Maybe you guys should consider making a new thread to avoid false advertising claims.

The first thing that pops up when I go to shapeshift.io is "requires an account" but the title here says "No Account Needed"


Is Flyp.me the only exchange now that actually doesn't require an account?

I've had nothing but good experiences using Flyp.me.

There are some other small scale exchanges too, however these limit you with the amount you can convert. Check out FixedFloat as well. They did a promotion here recently, when I had tested them out. Received my converted eth within a minute of confirmation and they didn't ask for an account creation either.

This thread was started in 2014.   I'm not sure how active shapeshift is in the forum (or if you can edit titles of threads), but in 2014 they were "No Account Needed" but that changed last year.

Shapeshift now requires an account to trade. 

Thank goodness they have "no fees" Wink what a joke.

ShapeShift is probably finished now. Even old die-hard users will abandon it because of the KYC.

I don't like Voorhees for supporting seg2x but I can't blame him for the KYC stuff.

They gave him 2 options.

1) Implement KYC
2) Be a criminal

He took a big hit because of KYC but I am pretty sure he is still making money. Maybe tenth of what it used be... Still better than going in prison.

Beware of Flyp.me (and its owner Holy Transaction) because they have scam threads open as a result of selective scamming.

I tried it once, initially hesitated but it turned out that the doubt was lost when all the transactions were perfect as the title "ShapeShift.io - Instant Coin Exchange - No Account Needed".

Recommended Instant Exchange.

Have Shapeshift number of daily trades declined since they announced their KYC policy?

So you be saying that submitting your name, email, phone number, address, document id number and setting up google authy is not worth those free 100 FOX tokens (which you can't even trade)??

ps. I was My friend was just fucking around with verification, entered fake details including completely made up passport number and got successfully verified. Take it for what it's worth.



Who knows when will they request additional proofs from you to justify the verification details. Perhaps after you send funds for exchange next time.

They charge a fee... a big one at that.  It seems almost criminal to lie and deceive customers saying Shapeshift says "no fees".

Fee, mark up or whatever you want to call it.

Yes they do and they make profit from it.

If they reduced their fee they would be even more popular.

Shapeshift requiring membership is another setback for those who claim decentralization and anonymization is the way forward.  It's very hard to do business legally and transact for global customers without having a central entity collecting account information.


Who can list out what kind of personal information exactly they require for the membership?

I tried to look at the membership page but it is split into multiple sections, so can't know what exactly required before I proceed.

HI all got a question.  I used shapeshift a while back when i traded btc for litecoin and vice versa.  I recalled when i did this, i had to pay a bigger fee compared to if i used an exchange.  Can someone tell me if this fee is based on shapeshift fee or the coin price.  Because i did recall shapeshift seems to list the prices for their coins such as btc, litecoin etc... a bit lower than the exchanges.  Can someone confirm this?  I recalled everytime i traded bitcoin for litecoin or vice versa... such as okay x btc get you x litecoin and vice versa... it was like 1.5 to 2 percent fee... is that about right?  i recalled i said if i used an exchange, i would get more litecoin than using shapeshift.  But is this fee due to shapeshift itself?  I googled and it said miner fee so this is not related to the prices of coins on shapeshift?  Like if btc was 5k on coinbase/bittrex, is it almost always lower on shapeshift?  I havent used it in a while and like to know this.

They don't charge you any exchange fee per se, but they do make profit on exchange rate differences. So always make sure you're happy with offered rate before proceeding.

There are also fixed miners' fee involved, which seem a bit too high. Currently for bitcoin it's set at BTC0.00025, more here: https://info.shapeshift.io/miner-fee/
