It is very good service, as people do not need to use exchangers.
Only, the price is already 10% reduced.

Thanks! Smiley Not sure what you mean by the 10% though...

Price on xmr.to is not the same as at exchanges. I think that's what they mean.

3rd party services usually have a (little) different rates than the exchanges. This is normal.

We're not 10% of for sure.
Short term we're not aiming to make anything out of it, other than covering server costs if possible. Primary goal is to increase Monero attractivity with real usage, which then will help all services built around Monero including xmr.to.

Monero's privacy and therefore fungibility are MUCH stronger than Bitcoin's. 
This makes Monero a better candidate to deserve the term "digital cash".

Excellent work!! You and your friend did more for monero with this one project that the core devs for the last 6 months!

Hey man, get informed Monday Monero Missives #22 - Year in Review and show some appreciation.

Yeah, this one was maybe too enthousiastic...
We just did a side little project, the guys working on Monero "core" deserve 1000 times this appreciation.

XMR.TO
Pay any Bitcoin address. Anonymously, using Monero.


Hey people,

arnuschky, a friend, and I made this new service called XMR.TO. It allows you to pay any Bitcoin address in a fully anonymous fashion using Monero.
Payment is nearly instant, so you can use it to pay bitpay bills, or any of your other bitcoin purchases.

Have a look at the website, it explains all the details: https://xmr.to

We're still in beta. In case of problems or suggestions, don't hesitate to contact us or just reply in the dedicated thread. Any feedback of course welcome!


Wow, this is a very great idea! Useful to say the least!

I think Monero (XMR) is very interesting.

arnuschky and binaryFate very good job!

Lets follow https://twitter.com/xmr_to and tweet something about that Smiley

Gonna make this twitter profile looking a bit better quickly then.
Thank you all for the kind words and the tests. Smiley

Done! Well, not exactly pretty, but at least we're not an egg anymore. Cheesy

"Standing on the shoulder of giants", might be the appropriate quote here. Without the core devs, no Monero and no small service providers as us on top of it. Smiley

I don't know your support / donation relationship with the core-dev team, but have you thought about using xmr.to for donation to the core-dev team? Like some tiny percentage capped at something? I know its probably way too much to ask, seeing that you JUST released this awesomesauce, but boom, I did it.

granted, your release could influence the actual market value of the XMR core dev holds, so who knows.

Regarding 6 months dude:
I did a rough calculation this morning, and based on a 1% pool dev donation fee (which is generous), the core dev fund gets about  160 XMR a day. So, consider that Atrides asked for 10k XMR to build that one thing he's doing, it would take approximately 2 months for them to accumulate the xmr to fund such a project. Now I don't know that thats how it works in the core team, but that sort of gives you a feel. So, if you're all like "Why isn't everything happening right now now now?

Congratulations, binaryfate! This is exactly what is needed: community developping useful services around the core Monero technology and showing example to even more community members to follow suit.

Again, congratulations.

Nice job, fellows!

On an unrelated note, your first sentence is ambiguous due to "a friend". It could be interpreted either as an appositional phrase or as three in a series using a serial comma.

I love grammar.

Good work. Is it truly anonymous though when you have to create the transaction via the website, which could be logging your IP address?

It'd be anonymous if you use it via Tor I suppose. Any chance you could set up an eepsite (i2p) with the same functionality?

Snippet from our FAQ:

Quote
How anonymous is XMR.TO?

Monero payments are anonymous. To be fully precise: given the current state of the art in cryptography, your privacy is provably enforced at the mathematical level. Monero allows to make payment over the internet with the strongest privacy currently achievable by cryptocurrencies. That is what we mean by anonymous. Thus no-one (including us) can link you to the payment you send us.

The only other link to us is your IP address (from which you are visiting this webpage right now), which you should hide when you wish to be fully anonymous (see best practices below).

As bitcoin payments are public, payments we make on your behalf will be visible on the (transparent) bitcoin blockchain. However, thanks to the intrinsic properties of Monero, no-one can associate that payment with you.

What are the best practices for privacy?
  • Use TOR or I2P to hide your IP address!
  • Be sure to set a sufficient mixin when sending your Monero payment – we generally recommend 3 or higher.

EDIT: also relevant:

Quote
Do we keep records?

As long as you follow our privacy best practices, no malicious third party can trace bitcoin payments made through XMR.TO back to you. Even if, for whatever reason, they gained full access to our database.

However, for complete customer peace of mind (and our own too), we anyway strive to purge all order data as quickly as possible. We only keep data as long as is necessary to provide a reasonable level of support (for example, refunds in case something went wrong etc.).

To be precise, we purge your order from our database after the bitcoin payment we make on your behalf has 144 confirmations (about 1 day). After 2 more days, your order will be purged from our backups. That means all records of your payment will be gone from our system after 3 days.

Do we log IPs?

Yes, we do. This is partially because it helps for support and maintenance, and partially because it's a royal pain to ensure that they are purged from all server logs everywhere. Smiley

It is, in fact, irrelevant whether or not we chose to log IPs. Our hosting service may anyway be logging our traffic, and their logging policy is not in our control. (This is where all the "anonymous" VPN providers lie to you…)

In summary: use TOR or I2P to be fully anonymous.

Monero's privacy and therefore fungibility are MUCH stronger than Bitcoin's. 
This makes Monero a better candidate to deserve the term "digital cash".

Regarding LMDB, it works. The reason we do not release it now is that it doesn't work flawlessly with Windows.

One could consider that, but I don't intend it to be replacement, and indeed there will still be missives from core-dev as far as I know.

We already advise mymonero.com in a much more relevant way! Once you create an order and get the info to send XMR.
