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?

Sometimes Trocador when I need to pay for something that doesn't accept Monero. If you use the ref-link in the monero.town sidebar it also helps fund the site without swaps costing any extra!

Yes, primarily because I buy every single month, no matter what. And so I always just swap USDC for Monero.

SO, what exchanges do you use?

and which exchanges you use on Trocador itself?

The highest rated one I can that has insurance with the full shield icon.

I dont buy on them but i trade on them sometimes when somebody doesnt take xmr. eventaully ill probably set up basicswap and go that route though.

I use them. You mentioned Exolix, that's a good one. Trocador is perfect aggregator to choose the best exchanges for swapping. I guess, any exchanges with good rating could be chosen for regular use

Good point I should admit. I also started using Haveno, though, sometimes instant crypto exchange seems more convenient
