Someone went well out of their way to meticulously plan and then devote resources towards disrupting this for many days. I honestly can’t think of any better evidence in support of the necessity of having this community.

Is this true also for their “aggregated” pool? https://exch.cx/faq#aggregation

I’ve never used eXch for a swap to BTC, but it would be good to know for future reference.

No doubt.

Totally. Which is why I created this post to get some more opinions (and hopefully some experiences) from others. One way or the other, whatever information is revealed here will hopefully continue to be useful to others going forward.

The lack of a tor presence is quite telling, indeed. I hadn’t thought of that.

IIRC even LocalMonero had analytics deployed on their site. Or at least they did at one point.
