I use them. Have money through their platform and service has been 10x better then compass. My only working capital is on river. Fees are 🌶️ but seems like the robust bitcoin only exchange in the space.

Thanks. I appreciate your feedback.

*miner not money

I use them, have several times no issues...

I’ve never used it but most people seem to like the auto DCA into cold storage. I am concerned with that feature though because I don’t see how they can do it without your xpub. If you need to give them your xpub, you are potentially centralizing your bitcoin wallet funds in a database that can be compromised. But don’t trust what I say because I’ve never used it and I don’t really know how it works. I could be wrong.

They’ve been great for me. No additional counter party risk since they built their own backend. If you want to hear from them, here’s their CEO with the OnRamp folks. https://fountain.fm/episode/uR3Ibw5JFZrsXh4pj7NV

I'm using them for DCA, with both on chain and lightning withdrawals. Lower friction DCA imho.

Been amazing for me, my go to!

Good experience so far. Long wait for purchases to clear before you can withdraw (5-7 days in my experience).

Good experience at River so far. Moved to River after Swan disappointed me with that poorly executed conversion. Swan following Scott Purcell sealed it for me. All future buys going through River now. Fee DCA is the way to go.
