IMPORTANT UPDATE
We just completed the most important upgrade to date, the changelog is available at the end of this message. Some major changes have been made so we suggest everyone reads the FAQ again and perhaps even give the service a try with a small amount since it's essentially free now. We will also work on video tutorials now that the platform will be mostly unchanged going forward. ANN thread presentation will also be updated to reflect the latest changes.
We are most excited about the introduction of the Pay to Note feature and fungible outputs.
The Pay to Note feature enables
instant, feeless and anonymous BTC transactions. Gone are the days where you want to send some Bitcoin to your friend but you worry about him checking out your past transactions so instead you are forced to use Monero. Now it's possible to do everything with Bitcoin with much more convenience and in much better conditions since all transfers are instant and free. Whirlwind is the first and only service to ever implement such a feature and we hope that our users see the value and opportunities that this brings.
Outputs are now fungible, meaning every single withdraw will look exactly the same for outside observers. This greatly increases privacy for all users since it's much harder to track what is happening behind the scenes only by looking at transactions.
We are ready to answer any questions and looking forward to read your feedback.
p.s. Clearnet is still under DDoS and offline, please use the Tor version for now. We will solve this issue too in the following days, apologies for any inconvenience caused but this was not a priority.
