Notes and record state

Record note
HEI models LocalCryptos as a dead P2P / DEX-like marketplace because new trade creation was disabled after 2022-11-18. The website and wallet interface may remain available, so official_url_status is partial rather than offline.
Revision state
Records may be incomplete, approximate, contested, or revised as better evidence becomes available.
This record may be incomplete or revised. Dead-side entries prefer archived URLs over original domains. Dates, causes, and classifications may change when stronger evidence becomes available. Contact / corrections
