Happy new year y'all,

I launched XMR.IST Monero alias service 6 months ago, with this service you can create human-readable alias addresses for your long wallet address. Try monerochan@xmr.ist address on your favorite wallet to see the magic ๐Ÿ˜‰

With using NEWYEAR coupon code, you can get your alias address for free: https://xmr.ist/register

P.S. Coupon code applies 0.05 XMR discount, that means you can get 6+ characters long addresses for free. For shorter addresses (and to support my website ^^), you can pay with Monero.

I would be careful using this service. This service stores wallet addresses as DNS records and can potentially store many of them, making it a honeypot for hackers. Anyone who can gain access to the DNS records will be able to reroute transactions by changing the addresses of the aliases.

For people who already own a domain, you don't need this service, since you can easily setup OpenAlias yourself by adding the necessary TXT records. That is all that this service does for you.
