Service announcement: eXch Android app is there!

We are glad to announce the release of our fully open-source app for Android on the F-Droid main repository.

This is in fact the first app ever included into the F-Droid main repository that permits swapping cryptocurrencies.

Automatic reproducible builds permit making sure the build you run on your phone from F-Droid was compiled from the source code of the current release at Github: https://github.com/pitonite/exch_cx

While we call it a communnity app, this app was developed under official supervision of IT security specialists from eXch to ensure it corresponds to high standards in security.

Main features:

- Switching between our clearnet and Tor domains
- Custom native SOCKS5 proxy support for both clearnet and Tor domains (set to 127.0.0.1:9050 by default which is one provided by the Tor-enabling app called OrBot)
- HTTPS support and TLS fingerprint verification (both SHA256 and SHA1) for our .onion
- Written using the same framework as the official F-Droid app with minimal library dependency chain
- Ability to import orders created externally
- Ability to keep the orders history (including letters of guarantee)
- In-order support chat
- Supports most of the features available via website and API
- Fully open-source

Welcome!   

Let's fight evil together!

Is the refund address the same as the return address when a user is not going to send all btc? For example, I have 0.1 BTC but I was only planning to trade 0.08, the 0.02 will go to the refund address of my choosing?

The order will trigger on the amount of the entry (confirmed input).

Very happy to see this nice service here 
I've been using this service for a long time and I highly recommend it: OP respects our privacy and knows what it's talking about when it comes to respecting its users.
The crypto world needs honest and transparent services that respect our data, without KYC and without registration. I also recommend the referral system, which is excellent!


OP, you will find the French translation of your ANN on the following link: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=314574.msg1461191#msg1461191

No, the refund address is only used when there is an issue or not enough coins available, in order to send you back your funds (without transaction fees).

If I understood well, you are talking about your "change address", which is related to your wallet directly, not to the service your send your BTC on.

Hey, hey, welcome here.
I'm glad to see my favourite exchanger here too. I hope you will be active here as well.

note: I'm still getting used to this forum, so I have to leave a comment to follow the thread in unread replies to my posts.

Great to see guys from eXch are in this forum 
This is one of the best centralized exchanges without kyc right now!

I know you have been working hard on adding support for more assets on your exchange with Thor chain, but maybe you can consider another one.
Adding Lightning was cool but I think that adding Liquid Network assets (L-BTC, L-USDT) would work great in combination with LN, Bitcoin and monero.
I would use this more than stable coins on ethereum, especially when fees are high.

I am happy to see exch.cx is here too!!

And they even have their own sub board, just like binance and other big exchanges! Amazing.

I have been using eth, xmr and ltc, as fees are high now.

I just downloaded aqua wallet and I will try Lightning implementation there with exch.cx and see if it works well.

I appreciate the fact that eXch is involved (I mean they don't just swap coins, they investigate etc..) and communicates transparently with its users.

For example, in the recent (and still relevent) case of Binance's manipulation of the Monero price, they published this statement on their website:

 

WARNING: There is an ongoing attack on XMR by Binance, faking its price on purpose in an attempt to release CZ from being a hostage of the U.S. jurisdiction. These are key facts indicating that the current XMR price is fake everywhere confirmed by our data analysts:

• Binance has no real trading volume on XMR pairs left but is still pushing significant changes to their price tickers. Note: any centralized exchange can "draw" their order book and put whatever data they want, because nothing of it can be verified. The only exchange with a verifiable order book is Bisq.
• CoinMarketCap - the major exchange data aggregator used as a price ticker by at least 50% of the crypto projects belongs to Binance, therefore it obviously contributes to broadcasting of the misleading price data.
• Other major exchanges such as Kraken correlate their price based on Binance and CMC price data movement and are always behind the actual drastic movements with some delay. This is only because Binance is trusted as a major exchange.

We currently have an automatic algorithm adjusting our service fee on XMR pairs accordingly to the external XMR price tickers in order to protect our capital and prevent usage of our platform for arbitration purposes.

I'm curious if there is room for an SEC investigation here. CMC is controlled by Binance, to me, this looks like an admission that they are all trying to manipulate the price of XMR.
If they decide to delist Monero, then they should only enable withdrawal from their platform regardless of the cost. Also, if they no longer participate in XMR trading and do not support it, who cares about their analysis?

Looks like they are running out of USDT. People are converting their BTC/Eth to USDT



Only 18 USDT left

Yeah volumes on the last 24h were 288299.041901 USDT, which is pretty high.

One more reason to use DAI instead of USDT, which is a far better stablecoin imo.

I am not sure how much this is related to the stability of a currency, it is about current reserves exch. Just an indicator that there were more Bitcoin sales than purchases.
At least it seems ^{to me} that many saw the current pump as temporary and wanted to sell Bitcoin and Eth high.

Of course I know. It was more in the sense that DAI is almost always available on most places, when (because of its popularity) USDT is often out of stock (like in the recent example above).

I see the eXch's empty reserves of USDT as a great opportunity to remind that DAI is a good (better) option for people looking for stablecoins
