Swaps: which one?

Biscuit swaps your coins two ways, both from the Swap tab, neither with an account.

	Exchange swap	Atomic swap
Pairs	XMR, BTC, LTC, any direction	BTC → XMR
With	An exchange, found by Trocador	An independent market maker
Who holds your coins	The exchange, during the swap	Nobody: the protocol enforces it
Speed	Minutes	About an hour; keep Biscuit open
Over Tor	No	Yes
Status	Stable	Beta

Which one to use

For Litecoin, for selling Monero, or when you want it done in minutes: an exchange swap.
For Bitcoin to Monero without trusting anyone with your coins, or over Tor: an atomic swap.
