    Recent stress tests showed Monero was struggling at 300-500k TX/day with nodes falling behind and wallets failing. BCH has been tested to 10 million.

    Then you have the issue of having to keep the whole chain forever, with BCH all you need is the UTXO set really, which is < 10GB

    I am not hating on Monero and I hope the issues can be solved, but I am taking the safer bet on Bitcoin Cash.

      I recommend basicswapdex if you want to exchange BCH for XMR after you understand that Monero was designed for security from the beginning and understand Monero Dynamic Block Weight and see that it worked as predicted during the stress test. Incidentally, there is already a Rust node implementation, although it is still under development. If you have any concerns about the wallet, which turned out to be a bottleneck during stress testing.

        I set up basicswap dex but the XMR/BCH liquidity is pretty low there. Do you know which coins on there have the highest volume? It would be nice if you could see the whole order book and not only the coins you have enabled.

        So has there been another stress test where TX volume reached higher than 500k? I am not aware of any fixes that have been made to fix the TX propagation and block sync failures that happened on the stressnet when volume went over ~300k.

        I have a feeling the current Monero node implementation is at its life’s end that is why the Rust node work has been started.

          BCH is currently the eleventh most traded currency on haveno-reto. If you put your BCH in there at a reasonable price, someone is sure to take it off your hands. https://retoswap.com/
