Where does the 2,173.91 ALGO floor come from?

What else is taken on top of the rate?

The payout is already calculated at the rate in the calculator. On top of it you only pay the network fee for sending ALGO, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.

How long does ALGO to ZEC take?

The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Algorand confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is.

Which network will ZEC arrive in?

Zcash leaves in its own Zcash network — a plain ZEC address is all you need.

What if the rate moves while I am paying?

The rate is pinned to the order and does not move while the order is alive. It can be recalculated if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.

Can a ALGO to ZEC swap be traced?

Transfers in public networks sit in the explorer for anyone to read. Privacy coins close that off: Monero always, Zcash and Dash when a shielded transfer is chosen.

Can I go back, ZEC to ALGO?

Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ZEC = 15,112.1 ALGO. The link sits right under the calculator.
