Hello @bitmover,
If this is regarding what apogio was asking, let me respond: I cannot agree to publicly list our reserves, as I believe this is inappropriate and could potentially harm our service. This concern has even been confirmed by eXch, which have seen that providing proof of reserves has caused difficulties, including transactions being flagged by various analysis teams.
Many people have also added me on SimpleX, asking for our wallet address where funds are held. Sorry, but this is a mistake we will not repeat.
What I can share is our largest reserve is in XMR, followed by BTC, ETH, SOL, ZEC, DASH, USDT, and others. However, as I mentioned before, our main focus is always on XMR, prioritizing getting secure way.
Please note that, Monero is private by design, but your internet connection and service choices can give you away. Don’t trust third-party/public nodes run your own node whenever possible.
Yes that was the question and the answer is very much appreciated.
I was wondering if people mainly treat you as an XMR service, meaning that they appreciate their privacy and try to maintain it, or if the majority of people are still interested in other types of crypto (SOL, ETH etc.)
Your answe is clear though, you shouldn't provide actual results, just percentage estimations, and even for these I was asking out of curiosity, so...
Your welcome apogio
Our main focus is delivering XMR; however, the way we provide it is not the same as a typical instant swap service. Major swap services (like Changelly, ChangeNow, FixedFloat, Morphtoken and other resellers which you think they have their own liquidity but actually its a lie ) they have tags such as FBI/LA, which likely point to the local FBI offices able to request their swap records.
Centralized exchanges (CEXs) and certain crypto payment processors are known to share user IPs and transaction details directly with Chainalysis.
They usually transmits even xmr swap data straight to Chainalysis, and their systems are tightly integrated, enabling near-instant correlation of amounts across different coins.
On top of this, they operated their own nodes to gather data. For instance, the site moneroworld.com reportedly logged RPC requests, which allowed them to link transactions to user IP addresses. They also refined their analysis by filtering out “decoy” outputs in Monero, determining which ones were already spent at the time of mixing.
Yes some clients do interest in other type of crypto but those are very small amount between $100 to 50k, big whales always go for XMR.
There’s a lot more I could discuss, but since this is a public thread, I can’t share everything for OPSEC reasons.
