Thanks for thinking it through, examplens — it's a clever approach. As logfiles points out, though, on most networks it would mean two payouts and two network fees, which works against the user on smaller amounts. So for now our answer stays the same: the safest way to get an exact sum is to swap to your own wallet first and send from there. We've noted the idea anyway.


Thanks for the feedback! On BTC deposits, most of the total time depends on how quickly the required confirmations come in — when blocks are slow, the whole swap takes a bit longer. We keep working on the speed on our side, too.

Previously, I suggested "precise payment", and I understand that there's no much demand for it now, what DEX has is serving well.

But few days ago, I reviewed an exchange which is smaller than DEX in terms of adoption and they were able to implement something simple but effective. You will be able to type in both text boxes of what you will send and what you will receive.

Instead of playing with the calculator to determine what amount of solana is equivalent to 0.002 BTC, you'll simply go to the receiving block and type 0.002 BTC and the system automatically calculate what amount of sol you will send.

I don't think it's difficult to implement and neither will it disrupt other functionalities.

Fair point. As I have already said, it is questionable how interesting such a feature would be and would make it an advantage over the competition.
I don't want it to seem like I'm advertising for anyone here; there is something similar to the cce.cash exchange, where you can split the received amount into 5 different coins. We can't know how popular this is with users, but it's certainly a type of additional service that stands out.

That's going to be a useful feature but to make such a feature working DEX.Fo needs to follow regulations of each nation and for automatic exchange that will be a tough job. Although, such a service is very possible but it will be somehow difficult to make it available in most countries. Also, I want to know are we talking about fiat payments of countries or we are talking about cash payments of countries? If were are talking about physical cash payments then I don't think such a thing might not be possible.

Fair questions — we should have explained more in the first post. We mean real physical cash, delivered by courier. It would be a separate option alongside the automatic swaps, not part of them, and that's why we started with a poll rather than an announcement: we want to see where there's real demand before building it.

stompix, your point about personal agents is exactly the kind of concern we need to hear. So if you voted "Yes" or are on the fence, tell us: in which countries and cities would you use it, roughly what amounts, and what would make a courier delivery feel safe enough for you to trust it? SamReomo is right that local rules differ a lot, so these answers will show us where it makes sense to start.


Thanks for the example. On a related note — after all the feedback in this thread, we're going to take another look at the exact receiving amount option. It's not a quick change on our side, but we'll think it through and try to make it happen.

Buyers will learn about it from others but when it comes to sellers then they'll not have sellers but their agents form the country who may handle such transactions and get their cut if I am not wrong. So someone who lives in a country can be their agent who may send cash via courier to complete the transactions but again in most places such a thing won't be an easy task. I think it is going to be a working model but I don't think it will be profitable at all because people from those countries can use p2p services to covert their crypto currencies into fiat money.
