Last year we did events in Liechtenstein and Zurich which are kinda close to that region. Is there a large crypto community in Baden Württemberg?

are you from around Berlin? if not, then where would we have to do an event for you to be able to attend?

Well, obviously you can compared Intercambio to your own service or to Trocador and see that there aren’t as many features. There’s no way to get a quote, or to choose your provider. it just instantly throws you into an exchange. but maybe that’s the point.

Good points. I’ll see what we can do about improving this :)

Cheers to you for all you do, you’re a good Fren :)

Thanks! <3

btw on your onion site you should put an onion link your new forum not clear net

You’re right. I’ll make sure that change is made.

heyy :)

I’ll try to keep this as brief as possible. MajesticBank approached our team about building Intercambio.app. We agreed. I was the one to build. It was delivered and approved by the customer. Even though we planned to pass Intercambio to MajesticBank in full, MB insisted we keep a share of the profits in exchange for conducting basic maintenance. This was a very generous offer so we agreed.

At the same time MB was employing snitchy as their community manager. Snitchy had a lot of interesting ideas with respect to changes to be made to Intercambio. So MB gave him control of Intercambio, and all of their share of profits from Intercambio. This was quite generous. Crucially, MB stressed that they wish to still have access to the servers and the source code.

This arrangement lasted for some time, but then for a number of reasons MB fired snitchy. As is standard in the IT world snitchy’s access to the Intercambio servers was severed.

The main issue in this whole ordeal is as follows: did MB gift Intercambio to snitchy? or did MB make snitchy just the manager of Intercambio?

Also intercambio sucks compared to trocador ngl

Please tell me what you dislike about it :)

They stopped doing it last I checked

Exactly

This is a great question and it was a difficult choice. If it doesn’t work out in this paradigm then we’ll experiment with a federated one.

We looked into the stats of various federated forums (lemmy, nostr) and found that they are all dying. Slowly, but seemingly irreversibly. Furthermore, the forums that actually bring us, and our partners, the most profit are all centralized. Bitcointalk, BestChange, and of course Dread, Reddit and Twitter although those are general-purpose platforms.

edit: Just to add to that comment. Companies we work with, ourselves as well, spend tens of thousands of USD per month on advertising on these non-federated platforms and forums. They do so, because it pays off. I have yet to see a single such effort on a federated platform. If someone else tests it and finds it to be a viable investment, we’ll of course follow suit

We’re working on loading all the fonts locally so Google will be no more. However, we’re keeping CF on the clearnet version. We get to many DDoSes to disable CF. Our Tor and I2P mirrors are free of CF stuff, but also go offline sometimes when the attacks are too powerful

Thank you! <3

Yes there is, you can just prepend the subdomain to our existing Tor and I2P domains, so: Tor: http://forum.rnwis2whetqcj4oknksnc5l24jbh33nflunifff3xtjjonnoxu3ld6id.onion I2P: http://forum.h74rtjzibohtgaehqyvy3cquqrsgn3pyxxqzwiw3u7mxal6n66ra.b32.i2p
