When it comes to genuine exchanges like Dex.fo then it makes sense to wait sometime to get the funds. Since sometimes network can be congested and that means a transaction will take some time but most probably those transactions get completed on time.

Only in few cases, transactions can take sometime, in most cases they get completed in short time. For Bitcoin transactions one has to wait at least 10-40 minutes as that's the most probable time frame to have confirmations if network isn't congested.

20 minutes for a block is unfortunately not that rare, just last month we had an average of 14 minutes distance between blocks, average for the whole day!
And as I type right now, there are 37 minutes from block 959426, this after 4 blocks were mined in just 8 minutes!  


I'm pretty sure you mean BIP-110 and no it won't kick anything but the bucket!
It will be a nothingburger, plus normal transactions will not be affected even if somehow magically that chain gets the most hashrate.

Yep, we can't trust AI results either. Even if we are using an advanced AI model which gives us the result after taking some time to do thorough research, it will still show us exchanges that are famous and have been in the market for quite some time. I won't name them, but if you have AI, you can check.

The problem with this is that some of them, or most of them, are not really no KYC or no AML. They eventually raise flags. So from a newbie perspective, it can be hard. They will eventually look for directories like KYCnot, Bitlist, etc. These directory sites are a better option than AI.

The AI models are too biased with government rules and legality

If you ask about no KYC or no AML they will answer this is bad because it will allow money laundering and crime, so the model will recommend bad services that have KYC and freeze coins. They do not respect privacy and it is a bad idea to get suggestions from them

For good suggestions you have bitcointalk where you can create a topic and get recommendations

You could also look at it on the flip side... One day you will need $200 but will receive $210 when making an exchange because the BTC price has moved upwards 
Usually, knowing that sometimes the block confirmation times are delayed, I try to ensure I spend BTC much earlier than anticipated and not wait for the last minute transactions. The good thing these days is that even at a free rate 1-2 sats/vbyte, it's considered optimal or high priority for the next block confirmation.

I could not track the time. Network confirmation took way longer than it should, as well as the exchange's own. I am making another swap today, i'll track that appropriately.


Directories like BitList and co are perfect for forum users like us. This is because they give us results and they are always updated with the current information be it scam or something else. If it works, there's no need asking AI or search for more when we have a whole lot of options in the directories.

AI will give good answers only if you ask well. But there's no need using AI to search for no kyc CEXs or DEXs or mixers when we have services that provides such information for us.

I exchanged Litecoins, if you set the commission a little higher to guarantee that it will be included in the next block, the exchange goes very quickly.

Did you do today's swap with LTC or did you exchange another coin? The things are not clear to me in any way because it should never take this much time for the blocks to complete.

This is enough for the forum users but when users from outside want to know about the (Dex.Fo) platform, if they do not get proper information then the users will be demotivated. At present, as technology is moving forward, new users mostly try to verify information by using (AI) and this has now become a normal thing. Overall, I think attention should also be given so that customers can get correct information about the platform by using any medium outside the forum as well.

I agree, BitList is the best option for anyone to find those genuine services, I personally check genuine services and their exact domain names via BitList mostly and to be honest, it has helped me a lot in finding URLs of genuine services.

I believe it's the best directory to find any legit service, the best thing about BitList is that users can leave their honest feedback about a service, such feedback can help others. The users who left their feedback at BitList are mostly from this forum, who're knowledgeable members and who provide their honest feedback as a review on service page at BitList.

Personally, I will never waste even a second with AI because I know there's a platform to find all genuine websites, I just use BitList instead of using any AI to find such no KYC services.

Directories are the best. BitList tells us the information about the escrow, which is helpful, and it motivates people to join the ANN discussion and share their opinions, problems, or ask questions before making any transaction, which are usually asked in special situations.

Asking such questions could be the best way to save yourself from extra trouble.

Overall, AI is not going to help directly, but we have to ask nicely haha. We definitely have to use prompts, but once we start questioning, eventually we end up with something useful.
