Is it possible to also sign a message? Maybe in the future.



Don't get it. You'd like to sign what with what key?


maybe your sending address so someone can proove he did the btc payment

edit: this *could* be made if you show a standard message "paid xx btc to 1jf on mm/dd/yyyy" which you sign with on of your addresses which was used in this transactions. when you use a default text all should be save

Yes that would be possible.
I suppose allowing the user to enter an arbitrary text to sign is also safe, assuming we concatenate that text with a fixed string (for instance "signed message: " + ).
If it's useful we can do that.

I am sure it is useful but personally i just want to send a small donation to wikileaks stating that this was the first wikileaks donation with monero Tongue

Sorry, I don't understand this. You want to sign the message above using our bitcoin address to prove that we did the payment? If yes, this exists already: it's called a transaction. Wink

Imagine 10 people having to renew their monthly subscription to a service on the same day. The merchant only receives 9, but all 10 people claim they did send funds. Pointing at transactions wouldn't be of any use then, since you can point to another one that is not yours.

btw if you need any help with DB2/NoSql/JS/Node/CSS/HTML/C#/Scheme or bitcoin in general (unlikeliy Wink) feel free to contact me (my english and my design skills sucks, but i am good at coding).

Nice work guys! Would it be an idea to make some graphs with the amount of transactions at the end of each month? In that way we could get a nice view on how much Monero is really used.

This is great work, and much needed. It can also work simply as a currency exchange.

Can you tell me how the exchange rate is calculated, and how the service is funded? I'm happy if you take a small slice during the process.

EDIT: another thought: what is the trust model here?
 Smiley

Service is currently founded with personal funds. The exchange rate is based on poloniex one at the moment, though we might change this in the future depending on market/third-party sources.

Trust involved regarding your privacy: Not much. Your payment goes through XMR wich is anonymous. You visit the page and we can log your IP, so if you want to be safe you can reach xmr.to through TOR or I2P and you're good. Moreover for your (and our) peace of mind, we purge automatically absolutely every information regarding your order after 144 confirmations of the bitcoin transaction (1 day).

Trust involved regarding us not stealing funds: you got to trust us. But there is little incentive for us to do that, as payments are nearly instant if anything goes wrong people would notice quickly. We couldn't steal much doing that, and that amount would be much much less than what is the reputation of the service, and our personal reputations worth. Some people in Monero community also know us in real life, if that can help. Smiley

EDIT: Many people in Bitcoin community know us too, thought it was obvious so I didn't mention.

We made this new service called XMR.TO. It allows you to pay any Bitcoin address using Monero.

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

We're still in beta, so there might be some glitches. In case of problems, don't hesitate to contact us or just reply here. Any feedback is welcome!
