I'm using swapping services constantly to pay for goods and services that normally don't accept xmr directly.

Mostly i need usdt TRC or ERC for that since it's the most widely used currency that also has low fees and high transaction speed. I've used nearly all the services you can find on sites like kycnot.me and xmrguide.org.

My favorites from usability were definitely fixedfloat and Sideshift. Though fixedfloat mostly doesn't have xmr listed and the site doesn't work on Tor. Sideshift just completely removed xmr and so now I'm stuck with using changenow, which I'm not a fan of.

I want a onion based swapping service (or at least Tor friendly) that has the xmr-usdt pairs. I also need fixed exchanges so the exact amount of funds enter the receivers wallet.

Been really annoyed over this and wish to find a new swapping service to stick with.

If you have any suggestions please)

I think you'll like trocador.app

If you want to support monero.town without paying any extra, consider using this link when swapping via trocador :D

I didn't know about this! Thank you! I especially like that it has a "payment" option. Putting in the number of coins that I need to receive has been a huge issue for me in the past! Will definitely be trying this out!

Well for that pair still only fixedfloat and changenow on their. Both don't support Tor

trocador.app supports XMR <-> USDT (TRC20) or (ERC20), and other networks, and other stablecoins. And it supports Tor and i2p.

Great! Just found out it's purpose and function. It's great

.maybe stealthex.io?

[-] Cryptoguard@monero.town 1 points 1 year ago

Both stealthex.io and simpleswap.io work great for Monero swaps indeed

Sideshift used to be my go to place to swap, them removing XMR is such a pain. I guess theoretically I could do XMR --> BTC and send the BTC to the sideshift deposit address, but that really seems like a huge pain, I imagine the fees would be crazy too.

I've been lucky to where most the places I buy from either accept Monero or accept an easy to swap to token like BTC, LTC and DOGE, but I have come across one or 2 exchanges which only accept "stable coins". With sideshifts removal of XMR this will be an even bigger challenge.

Have you heard about Trocador? http://trocadorfyhlu27aefre5u7zri66gudtzdyelymftvr4yjwcxhfaqsid.onion/en/

I haven't used it for XMR-USDT but for BTC-XMR pairs. It seems like it has the pair you want, though.

It also has a Tor Hidden Service, which you can use completely anonymously.
