Hi everyone, I'd like to know if you use instant crypto exchanges when you need to buy or sell Monero? I mean such services as Exolix, Trocador, simpleswap and similar?

Just be aware of KYC burden

Is there KYC? I thought these services don't require it

They can, but they will only tell you that you need to do kyc after they have custody of your funds.

On trocador They have a shield icon if your transaction is insured and they also give a rating of a all the way down to D for exchanges. I think if you use a C or higher exchange, they will insure the transaction up to a certain point, like $1,000 US dollars.

So, what instant exchanges do you recommend to use?

[-] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Trocador and choose the insured ones. Usually B or C level

@jay_edwards @shortwavesurfer i just use trocador. app , find the best rates and go with it. I prefer A or B category exchanges. Also one with less processing time.

Always use the one that insures your full amount of funds. Its capped at $1000 but this should be plenty because the fees will always be lower than getting robbed.

Trocador is the only one I'd recommend for that but for direct fiat to XMR or XMR to fiat I would highly recommend Haveno Reto. It is growing every single day and I can usually find a match within a couple hours.
