Agoradesk.com/LocalMonero.co is Scam!!!
The Admin of Agoradesk.com/LocalMonero.co telegram group https://t.me/LocalMonero is a Scumbag. His telegram is https://t.me/Alex_LocalMonero_AgoraDesk
This is a screenshot of my chat with him https://ibb.co/Nxfxxgb
I've know about LocalMonero for about a year but didn't really trusted them because it is shitty centralised platform and outdated website looks like crap, it doesn't build trust at all. And now, after loosing my money I know I should avoid even registering with them.
Agoradesk.com/LocalMonero.co scammed me for 9500 usd by blocking my account right after I deposited another 10 xmr
This is my account https://agoradesk.com/user/audy
You can see they add a message=reason inventing an excuse to steal my money, linking me to other profile who, I found out later, Alex admin of Localmonero had an argument with.
As I see now LocalMonero admin desided to co er his lose on my account. If they do it over 9500 usd than this means they have no trading volume and profit and ready to take your money just like that. They will make it look like it is your fault or whatever.
Check this https://t.me/MoneroUK/12051 I contacted this guy and asked him what happened between him and Localmonero(scammers) and it looks like I am not the first one who was scammed by localmonero aka agoradesk
Avoid this scammers and your money will be saved.
That was my last time I ever user centralised exchanger. It is 3rd time I got burned.

I would recommend https://localmonero.co which also supports both I2P and Tor. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Initially we only offered Monero through LocalMonero, then we added Bitcoin with AgoraDesk. Didn't really see the need to add further coins as they would require extra maintenance costs while not really being actively traded P2P. Source: about 1 year ago
I was a vendor on localmonero.co. I had many trades and 100% feedback, I sold to swedes since I'm swedish. Source: over 1 year ago
Not every exchange ran off with customer funds (i.e. Coinbase). And as others have commented, P2P is actually quite vibrant, it just doesn't get much attention. Check out: Bisq https://bisq.network/ LocalMonero https://localmonero.co/?language=en. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

BCH is disabled as a payment method for coingate.com transactions. Support pages don't mention it, but even if I hypothetically wanted to try using Lightning Notwork, the limit is 0.042 BTC, have fun getting the actual BTC with a $20 fee🙄 https://support.coingate.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402506647314-What-is-the-Lightning-Network-limit-.

Although this migration took quite a while, since it needed a new UI re-design, there were some difficulties migrating to a separate WordPress hosting, because our main page (coingate.com) is built on react.js. Source: over 1 year ago
What about for paying for services such as VPNs or Domain Registrars? Many use CoinGate (https://coingate.com/). That's a cryptocurrency payment processor. So is BitPay. And so is Coinbase Commerce. Source: over 1 year ago
Coingate looked promising as well, but it looks like they use a supervised wallet rather than your own. Source: over 1 year ago
There is another service called - https://coingate.com but I haven't used them before. I came across it after some searches. However, since Bitrefill has a very extensive selection you may end up just using it. Source: about 2 years ago
