Notes and record state

Record note
Terminal handling uses 2015-03-22 because contemporaneous forum evidence quotes Coin-Swap.net's permanent-closure notice with that final date. Death reason is mapped to voluntary_shutdown because the exchange announced a planned closure and told users to withdraw funds. Launch date uses a conservative first-public-active marker from Bitcointalk rather than a formal launch announcement. The 2026-06-20 explicit-origin review retained Unknown: available project, closure, directory, archive, and domain-history material does not establish a legal entity, headquarters, founding jurisdiction, or ecosystem origin. Hosting location and privacy-proxy registration data are not treated as operator origin.
