Monero tipping platform 'XMRChat' goes live

FiatDemise¹ has launched XMRChat² - a Monero superchats platform for content creators, according to a recent announcement from Douglas Tuman³:

Tomorrow [Sunday] we will debute xmrchat.com !!! A project I am a part of [..] Let’s make Monero the tipping currency of live-streaming. Perfect for anonymous micro transactions.

Features overview

* no platform fees - the streamer gets 100% of the tip
* no intermediaries - transfers go directly to streamer wallets
* private - no accounts, no personal details
* fast - instant txs (LWS)
* integrations (xmr_chat Twitch bot for tip notifications)

Work on the project apparently⁴ started at the beginning of this year under FiatDemise’s leadership, and featured contributions from developer saeed8ab⁵.

Watch today’s MoneroTopia episode⁶ to learn more and see XMRChat in action. To test tipping and support the project, send any XMR amount to xmrchat.com/monerotalk⁷.

It is worth noting that the project’s source code is now publicly available⁸.

This is an ongoing story and the report will be updated when new information is available.

Update: FiatDemise submitted a CCS proposal seeking retroactive funding for the project⁹.
