The exchange of a significant amount went smoothly. It was quite fast for a standard transaction, though it could have been even quicker ... I recently performed a swap using CCE, and I believe that one was a couple of minutes faster for the same pair.

It’s possible that an unfortunate set of circumstances regarding Bitcoin block confirmations played a role, but I’m not certain.

That's indeed a significant amount and a great 'advert' for DEX.fo, a service that i consider to be very solid and highly recommended.
That could very well be the case. I have used DEX.fo quite a lot of time, and when i had the time to monitor the order, it was usually the required block confirmation time that took up most of the overall time.

Thanks, Z-tight — and for confirming from your own experience that confirmations take up most of the time.


Thanks for the suggestion and the screenshot. It may look like a small change from the outside, but with how DEX.fo is built, calculating from the receiving amount would mean rebuilding about half of the system. So we're not planning to implement it — we'd rather put that effort into new coins, networks and stability.

🗳️ Poll: cash payouts worldwide

We're considering a new service — cash payouts for crypto in different countries around the world. Before we start working on it, we want to understand how much our users really need it.

Please vote in the poll at the top of this thread.

If you voted Yes, let us know in a reply:
— which countries or cities you need it in;
— which currency you'd like to receive;
— what amounts you have in mind.

The more detailed your answers, the faster and more precisely we can launch it. Thanks for helping us grow!

I think you would have to provide more details about how exactly it is going to work, in order to get detailed answers from users in this thread. Just to be clear, are we talking about swapping crypto and receiving fiat in a bank account? But you say cash, so it sounds like you're talking about receiving physical cash for crypto, though i am not sure how an automatic swap service can offer that feature.

I'll start with the assumption that cash is cash, as in bills in your hand!

I think the answer is heavily biased on the method to do it
- a p2p method like Fiatbox, for example, that would be tempting, assuming a serious vetting process before that
- a network of trusted agents, that might get dicey, it would be ok for a kiosk, for personal agents delegated by I would think twice
- cash via money services like WU pick-ups, nope, not in the EU where I live, money out of here no problem, money incoming, lots of headaches

So probably the feedback could change for any of us based on the method of achieving the transfer.
Of course eveyone would want to have an option to get cold cash in their hand without going through a bank or KYC or stuff but the amounts risked would also take the method into account.

Now, if by cash you meant money in your bank account, this would change drastically.

Haha, no one will answer these questions correctly, bro, as people here prefer privacy and don't want to tell anyone which city they live in. But they can share their country, and mine is not so hard to find, haha. The local currency I would prefer is PKR, but how secure will it be?

I don't have high amounts. I usually have smaller ones, and I prefer to do them in batches too. So maybe $10 to $300 max. Are you guys going to implement this or planning it for now?

Well, if you will, then how will you bring buyers and sellers from all over the countries, as most of the platforms out there like this don't have buyers or sellers for my local currency?

When you said cities, well, a light bulb popped up, cause yeah...
If I met a stranger (no matter his affiliation, for me it's a stranger) I would choose maybe to drive 100 km away to cash out once 2500-5000 , I'm saying that to also stay below the limit even for Schengen borders on undeclared cash and also not to risk my ass when meeting over with a stranger, so in my case the magic triangle between Munich, Prague, Wien would be a possibility.

Also, one thing to note: I'm quite certain I'm not part of the larger user base that would need this
- I live in a country (union) where it's easy to swap coins for fiat
- The legal risks for this are tipping the scale a lot on how much tax I would avoid with it on the sums I would exchange.

Somebody in a country that:
- bans bitcoin or has no exchanges
- heavily scrutinizes bank accounts for foreign deposits and foreign currency
- is on a list that most exchanges don't want to touch
Will definitely be more of a targeted user for this service than I am, but of course this would be just my assumtion, higly possible that future feedback would prove me wrong.


They will be offering the same service I assume, so you either trade with a guy over Bisq or you trade with a guy designated by dex.fo.
