To everyone who used and supported this project,
Since 2018, I have run xmrwallet.com as an open-source, completely free project. I built it in my free time out of a genuine love for Monero and a desire to give people a quick, easy, and accessible way to reach their funds.
Today, with a heavy heart, I have to announce the complete closure of the project. We have recently been the target of sustained attacks, and because this project is unfunded and maintained in my spare time, I simply cannot afford the server costs and time required to keep fighting them off.
The person who attacked us did so under the accusation that our service requires a view key. I want to be completely transparent about this: just like any light-wallet service in the Monero ecosystem, a view key is required so the service can detect and display your incoming balances and transactions. A view key does not, and cannot, give the service access to spend your funds.
It deeply saddens me to close this chapter, but my priority now is ensuring everyone transitions away smoothly and safely.
The closure of this website does not mean your funds are gone. Because Monero is decentralized, your seed is and forever will be backward compatible with the official Monero wallet.
Here is how to recover your access securely:
Visit getmonero.org and download the official wallet software for your operating system.
Open the official Monero GUI wallet and look for the option that says "Restore wallet from keys or mnemonic seed".
Input the exact seed words you were given when you generated your wallet here. Your seed is your master key.
Once you restore, the software will scan the blockchain. When it finishes, your entire balance and history will appear perfectly intact.
I want to end this by saying thank you. Thank you to everyone who trusted this service over the last several years. Whether you used it just once to check a balance, or relied on it daily.
A special and sincere thank you to everyone who sent donations throughout the years. Your immense generosity is what kept the servers running, paid the bills, and allowed this free project to exist for as long as it did. It meant the world to me that people cared enough to support my free-time work.
I am sorry to say goodbye under these circumstances, but I am incredibly proud of what we built for the community.
With deep gratitude,
— The Creator of xmrwallet.com
