AgoraDesk
0.0/10 total
This service no longer exists. It is kept in the table so that outdated guides recommending it can be checked against reality. Treat any site currently using this name as hostile.
Wound down on the same schedule as LocalMonero, which it shared operators and a codebase with; AgoraDesk was the bitcoin-and-other-assets front end to the same marketplace. The joint announcement went up on 7 May 2024, signups and new ads stopped immediately, new trades stopped on 14 May 2024, and 7 November 2024 was the stated shutdown date after which unclaimed arbitration bonds could be forfeited. agoradesk.com still resolves and serves the same static wind-down notice. Treating it as a separate surviving venue because LocalMonero is the name people remember is the mistake to avoid.

Weights are published in the method and applied identically to every entry.
For
Nothing that still applies.
Against
- Closed. No trades since 14 May 2024, full shutdown from 7 November 2024
- agoradesk.com still resolves with the original site shell, so a stale link looks alive
- Shared operators with LocalMonero, so it did not survive that closure independently
- Arbitration bond funds not withdrawn before 7 November 2024 were declared forfeitable
Agent access 0/10
Defunct. The AgoraDesk API is gone; only the static notice page remains.
Reported separately and not counted in the total. It measures what an autonomous agent can do unattended, not whether the service is safe to use.
Fees
n/a
Defunct. It historically charged 1% to the maker; none of it applies now.
