Hey community, we are publishing this post to let users know beforehand that there are scammers running fake clones of our service. Do not access any website that claims to be us, but is not one of our main addresses.

Correct addresses:

  • trocador.app

  • trocadorfyhlu27aefre5u7zri66gudtzdyelymftvr4yjwcxhfaqsid.onion

Fake websites:

  • troccador, troccadoor, trocadoor (any other typo)

  • trocadupz35kdyzgqpadqor4jk7u4lmbo2(...).onion

Right now our services are suffering non-stop DDoS attacks for the last three weeks, and they are using ToR exit nodes to conduct such attack (both through clear net and onion). For this reason we had to turn off our Onion link, as we are working into pushing changes to mitigate the attack. There's a chance that these fake websites might be related to the attack, they might be trying to lure users into their fake clones, so it is important to Bookmark the correct website. Stay safe! Our team is small, but we are working into going back to normal.--

We have not yet implemented PoW, as our team is small and we are trying to mitigate the attack on clearnet first, since most users come from there. But yes, some nice people already suggested this, and we'll look into it this week.
