Hi everyone!
I developed an alias service for Monero, which works with most Monero wallets. With OpenAlias standard, you can convert your long wallet address to human readable addresses. If you want to test it, type monerochan@xmr.ist as recipient in your favorite wallet!
It’s automated, that means your alias will be activated right after payment. Service price is 0.05 XMR for 6+ character aliases, it’s one time payment. I will also share a coupon code, so you can get 30% discount.

Apart from OpenAlias functionality, I’m working on different features for subdomain. Right now you can redirect subdomain to your website, in the future you will be able to use it as link list. (like Linktree)
If you have any ideas or suggestions, please share so I can improve the website. Thank you!
Main functionality is same, both provides you OpenAlias. As my website is new, more aliases are available to register. Also it’s cheaper. Apart from OpenAlias, I plan to introduce some features for subdomain.
This one is technically not true until you add Punycode support - and only if you manage to remain below XMR.ID’s user count by that time :D
(Without Punycode, staying RFC-compliant, and applying XMR.IST’s restriction of 30-characters max, we could provide roughly a count of
30^37-1-<amount of users>, but even if we had a 10-chars limit, the number would still be unfathomable.)Welcome to the space - it feels less lonely now!
My bad, I meant more plain words are unclaimed/available for register. It’s more likely name@xmr.id registered as you were operating for years, if someone specifically want to get their name as alias, it could be useful for them. Emoji support was something I plan for the future, I’ll think about punycode. I’m not sure people would like to use non ascii characters (beside emojis) though.
Curiously, most ended up preferring a less readable XMR ID, leaving many common and given names available.
Maybe this is because nowadays we tend to assume the good ones online to be taken - so it’s actually a great idea that you point that out! Let’s see how it affects the trend.
