For a while now, I've had a tiny stack of Nano (XNO). I've acquired it from various faucets and apps, just letting it accumulate. Most of my XNO came from the TipNano app, which is one of the regular faucets I roll. It's simple, reputable, and has never let me down. Withdrawals with XNO are instant too, which is a plus for an instant gratification seeker such as myself.
So, I was facing a quandry: what can I actually do with my XNO? Aside from using it as currency, not too much. Not many use-cases have been developed for it so far, though there are some. I decided I wanted to swap it but was having trouble doing so. I had trouble finding XNO on a DEX and the few CEX I'm familiar with.
Enter changenow.io -- I was not familiar with this platform. No registration, no KYC, no nonsense. Now, I knew I'd be burning some XNO on the exchange. This kind of service isn't 100% free.
The swap ended up costing me about $5 USD, roughly 7.5 XNO. In the end, I wasn't concerned because all the XNO I earned for free using the faucet methods and didn't actually pay for it. I would rather have some USDC I could put to use than the XNO, which was just sitting in my wallet.
Anyway, just wanted to mention ChangeNow and how easy it was to use. I'm sure a lot of you here on P0x already know about it, but it was new to me and I figured I'd share the experience.
Pros: Easy to use, no registration/KYC required, many cryptocurrencies supported
Cons: Slower than a CEX, high transaction cost
Does anyone else have experience with ChangeNow, good or bad?
Does anyone else use Nano (XNO) for anything else besides stacking?
