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 original domain remains reachable under the LocalCryptos identity, so official_url_status is live_verified even though new trade creation is disabled.
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
