For sites I could actually never visit because of CloudFlare it helped to click around on the verify-dialog (or moving your finger around on mobile). Maybe it's just superstition, but at least it always worked for this site with Tor Browser. If it doesn't work there is not much lost.

Thank you for a tip, but due to the nature of our business, our anonymity setup requires a lot more than just a Tor Browser. We do not use Tor Browser to access the Tor network and use a bit more complex solutions such as Whonix Gateway along with multirouted and fully isolated systems.

Cloudflare actually can detect when you use the Tor Browser (yes, that browser specifically) and facilitate access for it, however, when it couldn't determine which setup is used and when it assumes your anonymity is too strong, its detection systems start to be more hostile, specially when you have a Tor exit IP but no Tor Browser detected.

We also do not use mobile devices for this project due to high risks of exposure to possible firmware backdoors implemented during manufacture (this is independently of whether you use clean AOSP builds such as Lineage OS or not). Some desktop platforms are safer in this regards.

I have however decided to use a residential proxy on top of my setup to access this forum from now. Hopefully theymos will consider some better alternative to Cloudflare within next years or at least could re-configure the current Cloudflare settings to facilitate access to users with complex Tor setups. We are also ready to provide technical assistance in Cloudflare-less DDoS protection setup if it's the case.

Is it possible to receive LN BTC from eXch to Blixt wallet? I always got an error message that was along the lines of "the expiration date is too soon" and I am also pretty sure the invoice was not zero-amount. And I found no option to change either.

It should be possible. LN is a relatively new currency added on eXch therefore there might be some issues still which are being fixed. Some wallets still have many issues as well, but that's mostly because most of them use LND instead of Core Lightning as their backend. LND is prone to feature implementation delays, because most people who standartize and implement Lightning protocol are Core Lightning developers.

[...]
With this information displayed it would be up to the user of the service to decide and to balance out their current needs (do I need immediate help that I feel comfortable using a ticketing system for? Can I wait a bit longer and use email with PGP?) in order to choose the available options. At the end of the day this would just be another layer of transparency, which is always great from my perspective.

Thank you for the suggestions! We will definitely add that information.

[...] Perhaps it would be better to hide it as well.

I have replied to your PM in this regards.

Do you provide required info (as far as I see only thing you collect is receiver wallet address tho) in such obvious hack cases?

No.

I understand the 5% when they are giving away their XMR, but not when they are receiving xmr. I see 5% on both sides.

Maybe lowering the cost when they are receiving xmr might be a good way to acquire more xmr.

It is back to normal now.

This is really not good. With a little research, you get to the guy.
You should review that. If the image was used on TalkImg, I can try to help if I receive a PM.

Even though it is not from a client, it is still private correspondence. Exposing this email, identifying its origin, unauthorized, is condemnable. And even though we haven't exposed his email, with a little research it's possible to contact him.

I'm not saying he shouldn't share the email he received, just that he should have been more careful.

Thank you for your concerns. It's all good and the agent will be fine. Don't worry.

Yeah except he is an IRS agent, not a customer. He could post the whole email if he wanted to as its not really any sort of breach of customer confidentiality. He did the agent a favor by not leaving the email address in there.

Correct.

We actually provided a proof of good work of that agent and made him a big favor so he can get promoted in the name of the god-blessed United States of America. He should be honored for making that effort and working on Saturday evening.

Moreover, we were not asked to keep this communication in secret and we have a right to disclose any communications coming from the federal agencies to the degree that we find acceptable. This was an unofficial request, but still from a federal entity we have absolutely no relations with.

I have a question about the reserves you display on your website. My apologies if it was already asked, but this thread has 16 pages, so it's quite time-consuming going through each one looking for the exact thing I want to ask. I have noticed that you always display your XRM reserves as 0, but in the 24h trading volume, we can see how much Monero was exchanged. Is the total Monero reserve a secret or can't the site display it for some other reason?

Every time I visited the exchange website in the last couple of days, XMR was always at 0. But you are right. It was showing a little bit above 121 when I saw your quote. A few minutes later and it's back to 0 again. There is great demand for no-KYC monero.

Absolutely. We can load 15000 XMR right now and it will be sold in just a few hours at 5%. At 0.5% in less than 1 hour. This situation has repeated many times already.

Some time ago we were using exchanges like Binance and Kraken to acquire XMR liquidity periodically, but we stopped doing so because they became very uncomfortable with us draining so much liquidity from them, because it became an infinite process.

We are now temporarily back to our old model (customer-provided liquidity only), but expect to resume having constant XMR liquidity soon once we acquire a good and reliable source.
