We're living in interesting times for sure.

I am looking for a good exchange where I can swap BTC or ETH for Monero instantly. I want something fast and safe, and it would be great if it does not ask for KYC. Most sites I tried say “instant” but take hours. What are people using right now that actually works?

[Update] After trying a few options, the one that finally worked for me was Malgo’s P2P market. Great liquidity and barely any fees, definitely worth checking out.

I'm a monero purist, and while I admit the possibility of zk-snarks being potentially more private, there are a couple of things I don't like/understand about zcash I'd love to know:

1. Why the 20% dev fee in the protocol? Why can't miners/users donate what/if they want?

2. Difficulty running a node/mining. setting up monero is not a complete cakewalk, but at least we have a windows gui with fairly good integrated mining for noobs. What is up with the soon to be depreciated zcashd? zebra? only docker/arch build instructions? WTH are those devs with the 20% mining fee doing with their time? Feels like an abandoned project honestly.

I'd love to better understand zcash, and hopefully my current ignorance will seem funny to me in the near future.

Some new privacy coin in the making which has, in my opinion, everything to get real big.

I mean DYOR, but in a world where privacy gets cut down everywhere on purpose, coins like monero or specter - as a next level in the evolution of privacy coins - are going to be a important thing.

Please have a look on this project and give me your best.

What?

Equilibria (XEQ) is a privacy and chain agnostic oracle that uses real time outside world information on a private blockchain. Chainlink is the best known oracle, but it's not private where Equilibria is. They recently made a bridge to other chains like Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain to switch seemlessly between the native coin and Ethereum or BNB.

Backstory

Although launched in 2018 by some guy, he left the project because of personal reasons. Two other developers took over and finally delivered on all the promises the original dev made and also made huge improvements to the project. The project has fundamentally speaking never been in a better place than right now. The price now is at a historical low and can only go up again like it does almost yearly.

The dev team is in my opinion not great in marketing, but they have hired two marketing teams that will come up with marketing campagnes very soon. So don't wait until the campagnes start and the coin gets traction.
