One Page X is a relatively new and easy to use exchange that requires no sign-ups and no accounts in order to use the exchange. One Page X allows you to send Bitcoin or Litecoin in order to receive several tokens such as GVT, LINK, and Theta, to different coins including Neo, XLM, ETH, XVG, and even stable coins such as TrueUSD or Tether. https://onepagex.com/
This is exactly the kind of thing I think we need in crypto if we are going to stop giving a lot of these exchanges our private keys and access to all of our funds. The Cryptopia hack caught a lot of people by surprise, but it really shouldn't have. Dozens of exchanges have been hacked over just the last few years. Even Binance was hacked, but they noticed the hack happening and they were able to stop it in time.
The main thing here is that unless you day trade you probably shouldn't leave your coins/tokens on the exchanges. Exchanges are big targets for hackers because the funds are usually stored in hot wallets, and therefore they are always kept online. Cold storage funds are usually kept offline until they need to be moved back online. Moving forward we should really only be supporting decentralized exchanges and exchanges that keep our funds in cold storage. Binance is still a centralized exchange, but they do plan on releasing a decentralized exchange in the near future.
One Page X also charges reasonable fees according to their website, "OnePageX charges 0.5% along with a small network fee on all transactions. All fees are included in the estimate shown. One Page X also wants to be a turnkey solution for your website where you can simply copy the code into your template. OneBox is what they are calling this widget on their website and it is also mobile and desktop friendly.
OnePageX also has an account here on Steem, and they are currently running a free upvote bot just because they don't want to put their SP to waste right now. Also, if you're wondering how you can use their service since they only allow you to deposit LTC or Bitcoin right now, you can first convert your Steem to Bitcoin or Litecoin using BlockTrades and deposit your funds onto their exchange.
I haven't used OnePageX's exchange yet, but I probably will at some point. I've had good experiences with the exchanges I've used overall, but if some of the exchanges I use like Binance or Kucoin went down temporarily it would be great to still have an exchange to trade like OnePageX.

One Page X looks like an interesting new entry into crypto exchangers platform. Security of customers funds should be the major priority of any new exchanger and I think since there is no sign up and funds of customers are not held on the exchange them it will be safe to use their platform for buying crypto coins . With the recent hack on cryptopia exchange I am really moving all my crypto transactions into a decentralized exchanger for a safer transaction @the4thmusketeer
turned out to be one page x, suitable for use at this time and very easy
Hello, I'm new to the crypto space. I'm wanting to learn. Thanks for the interesting post. I have a lot to learn!
Have you checked Steemium?
Yeah I checked it out thanks, but I think I'll stick with Steemit for now. I want to use my keys on as few of websites as possible.
Many would argue that SteemConnect is safer than Steemit.com
When logging in you're only signing client side in your browser and sending to SteemConnect. We could not access your keys even if we were compromised.
Thanks for sharing your concern, We'll let you know if we find a way around that. In the short term we're looking to integrate with KeyChain but you might have the same concern with that one.
BTW you can use any Steem account to login and can then promote any posts with it.
That sounds very interesting. Thank you for sharing the information. I'll study it. .
