Pro/Con Crypto-to-Crypto “No KYC” Swap Websites

Get your anonymous Nostr Lightning for cheaper than a BTC layer 1 channel here!

These are all sites for Monero->BTC Lightning, and others. These are NOT real atomic swaps, that will be a different post. Atomic swaps usually cost more and can’t be in a web browser.

Fixedfloat.com

0.5% fee

Pro: Reliable site has been around awhile. Large variety of selection and good prices. Support team is quick to respond.

Con: They use a Cloudflare which can be avoided if you go through Trocador. The Google analytics can be blocked with uBlock Origin. Careful on the chats, they use third parties as well. They block Tor and USA IPs. Even a USA clock is banned. I’m in international waters and encourage honesty, but any human can observe with publicly available information, that this means some people may hypothetically have to change the timezone on their local PC.

Exch.cx

0.5% fee

Tor Onion:

hszyoqwrcp7cxlxnqmovp6vjvmnwj33g4wviuxqzq47emieaxjaperyd.onion

Pro: I like this site a lot. No Cloudflare or Big Tech. Low fees and fairly good selection. Well advertised on BitcoinTalk, so they got a reputation to protect. Tor onion.

Con: They get DDoS’ed a lot, but check back in a few hours if down. Remember, you pay the 0.5% fee PLUS the cost of sending it on the blockchain itself. With Monero or Lightning that’s near free, but for Bitcoin layer 1, be careful not to do too low fees (the lowest setting) or you’ll get stuck a full day or more. (Btw if you get stuck, do a child-pays-parent transaction). Also I’ve had issues reaching their support team.

Coinswap.click

Under 1% fee (they don’t say)

Pro: No Big Tech. No Cloudflare. No Google. You can uBlock the third party bootstrap CDN without issues. Fees are decent on XMR->BTC Lightning. This is not as low as Fixedfloat or CoinEx, but it’s barely more expensive.

Con: This is a good site, I like it! I wish they were more upfront about the fees, instead of making me calculate it. But they were not bad.

ChangeNow.io

Fees vary based on quantity.

Pro: Large variety of cryptos. Well established reputation.

Con: ChangeNow varies their fees based on how much quantity you’re doing. Obviously the more you do, the lower the fee. If you’re thinking of using them, check Trocador to compare it. The variations are fairly small though. ChangeNow also uses Cloudflare and Google.

StealthEx.io

Pro: Decent variety. It’s “another alternative”

Con: Unclear pricing. Cloudflare, AWS, Google. These idiots use all big tech with the word “Stealth”. You can uBlock Origin block the Amazon CDN, and it still works, but you can’t load the post-transfer progress status page. Please, try it with a penny first. I’m not responsible.

TradeOgre.com

Pro: This is like a real exchange with visual GUI of liquidity and not a swap site, even though it is crypto-to-crypto only with no KYC. They got a decent selection and some privacy coins such as Oxen.

Con: They use Cloudflare, and it will block Tor. Not a cheap Bitcoin withdrawal fee, I paid like double the middle rate of Electron wallet.

WizardSwap.io

2.5%

Pro: No Big tech. They got a Tor onion too.

Con: High fees.

Boltz.exchange

Pro: Eh… more variety?

Con: High fees, again with Cloudflare and big tech.

SimpleSwap.io

Pro: Huge selection, they got like as much selection as some KYC exchanges.

Con: They don’t tell you the fees, you have to calculate it yourself and they’re horrible. I got quoted like 7% on a Monero cross. These guys should be shot at sunrise. Plus they got mad big tech.

Trocador.app

Free fees, but it’s just a front-end

Pro: Acts as a no-fee No-JavaScript crypto-to-crypto swap front end for different exchanges, so you get the best rate and change counterparty risk to Trocador. They use the word atomic swap, but in a browser this doesn’t eliminate counterparty risk, it just changes it from the exchange to Trocador. Some people will criticize me that it’s open souce, but you can’t audit their cloud website. If it’s done through an open source wallet WITH atomic swaps, THEN it’s eliminating the counterparty risk. Trocador doesn’t add fees so this is a great site.

Con: It’s supposedly “many exchanges” but you usually get FixedFloat. But since FixedFloat uses CloudFlare and Google, it’s good to not go direct for privacy and to prevent FixedFloat from being able to bounce with your funds. Also Trocador could be gathering info maliciously, I have no way of knowing.

Intercambio.app

I’ve never used it, no opinion. I just saw random people post it

Summary of the “No Cloudflare” & “No Big Tech”:

Trocador.app (front end)

Exch.cx

Wizard Swap

Coinswap.click

Summary of the cheapest ones:

Trocador.app (front end)

TradeOgre

FixedFloat

Exch.cx

Coinswap.click (barely cheap)

ChangeNow if you do volume

Summary of both not private and not cheap, these suck:

StealthEx

SimpleSwap

Boltz

In another article, we’d discuss “real” atomic swaps.

Real atomic swaps are always downloaded software, it can’t be a wallet.

Some of these are brand new, still in development, and I can’t vouch for.

Samourai Wallet XMRBTC

Particl.io

DarkFi

Komodo Wallet

Unstoppableswap.net BTC->XMR

If you got a lot out of this, please smash the share so others can learn.

6 Fast & Hard-Hitting Reasons Fiat Money is Corrupt…

Reason 1.

USA murders anyone not selling oil in USD

~

Hillary Clinton’s leaked emails from Wikileaks show that the true motivation to intervene in Libya was Gaddafi switching from selling oil in USD to gold. [1]

Most anti-government media speculates that the true motivation for the invasion of Iraq, was right before Saddam Hussein moved to switch from selling oil in USD to euros. [2]

Reason 2.

Central Banks fund and enable war

~

As the book Creature on Jekyll Island goes over in painstaking detail, printing money to buy government bonds, to fund war is what enabled history’s bloodiest battles. “Without the existence of fiat currency, most wars of the past 200 years would have been petty skirmishes rather than full-blown bloodbaths.” [3b] The US Federal Reserve was created right before World War 1. But this book goes back through the European wars since the early 1800s to emphasize that it was central bank credit that enabled it. [3a]

Reason 3.

IMF & World Bank enslave poor countries through perpetual debt

~

It’s labeled “charity”, but how come the cash flows as negative to the third world? Because they keep adding interest that can never be paid in full. [4] Even after Saddam Hussein died, the Iraqi taxpayers have to keep paying his debt. [2] Even after African dictators leave office and are declared to be genocidal, their debt to multinational banks remain. [4]

Reason 4.

American Bankers avoid paying FDIC insurance by transferring their assets offshore.

~

Even if the “offshore center” is physically located in the domestic US. [5a] Then despite not paying insurance because it’s “offshore”, they get bailed out by the Federal Reserve, though what’s called eurodollar liquidity injections. [5bc]

Reason 5.

The Banks control the politicians, not vica versa.

~

Wikileaks shows Citibank’s CEO emailed Barrack Obama’s campaign manager with who his entire cabinet picks would be. [6a] Then after, Timothy Geithner bailed out Citibank as head of the Treasury. [5c]

Reason 6.

Citibank funded both sides of the Congo Wars.

~

They loaned money legally through the World Bank & IMF to the official government. Then they illegally funded the rebels on the other side, according to a UN report studying the financial flows. [7]

Millions died in those Congo wars. Owning a Citibank account is more racist than anything any conservative ever said. Voting for Obama and Biden did nothing for racial inequality, the end of this article links you to the Wikileaks footnotes of them taking orders from genocidal monsters.

You rotten murders.

You fucking thugs.

Don’t you see? Their only power is in our minds. The numbers on a screen that the central bank types.

It pains me to say this, but I lost my 20s mate. I spent a decade of my life buried in the economic and foreign policy books. But as the months turn to years, and despite my failures thus far, I am still an optimist. I believe it’s possible for change. And no obstacle can shit talk me out of it.

But I can’t do it alone. And so today I ask, who will help me?

My call to action is to on-board one person in your life this week onto Bitcoin/Monero. Don’t copy paste a video. Don’t send a link. Sit and show them one wallet, in person.

Then comment on this thread with the result, and together we will learn.

I recommend to watch documentary Money Masters (1996) on this topic.
