Forwarding a message with some questions which was posted in the OrangeFren's campaign thread:
You have mentioned no-kyc, but I also read that exchange involved in the transaction may still choose to ask kyc sometimes and the transaction would still need kyc verification for it to successful pass through. So in case if this happens, will someone's funds still get stuck there or one will still be having an option of canceling the transaction to get funds back (of course without swap this time)? Can you explain what actually will happen?
It depends of the exchange selected if I'm not wrong. By the way, some of them will never require KYC or SoF (like eXch).
But in case you don't know, you should have a look at the OrangeFren's guarantee:
How do I know the exchanges won't scam me? What is the OrangeFren Guarantee?
We entered an agreement with some exchanges wherein we are able to refund you using their money if they scam you. This feature is called the OrangeFren Guarantee. It applies to exchanges that have a green text about the Guarantee next to their name on the results page.
The OrangeFren Guarantee only applies if an exchange violates its own policies. Some exchanges have a policy that allows them to require you identify yourself (KYC) and the where you got your coins (SoF). Those exchanges have a yellow warning about their policies on the results page. The OrangeFren Guarantee does not refund users of exchanges that have this warning if they demand your undergo their verification.
Isn't your competition with AtomicDEX? Yes I know, you are actually just facilitator of transaction whereas AtomicDEX is sort of decentralized exchange. I also found AtomicDEX was one of the only rare DEX exchanges providing Eth (or other popular chain coins or tokens like Monero, Solano, Doge, etc.) to legacy, segwit, taproot BTC options (and vice versa) direct conversions and now found Orangefren an addition. I haven't tried AtomicDex or Orangefren yet but it seems transacting on AtomicDex may not be as seamless as Ogangefren though.
Correct me if I am misinterpreting or missing something of relevance here.
I don't think there's any competition, OrangeFren is just an aggregator of services and exchanges. However, I think OrangeFren will reply or clarify if necessary.
