Notes

Tannhauser Gate is a simple POC for an automatic atomic swap service. Tannhauser is still in development mode - so use it at your own risk. For the Litecoin connection Tannhauser uses a customized version of python-bitcoinlib. There is a simple GUI as wrapper for easy handling. The GUI is a little bit guerrilla - but it does the job. So if you are a QT wizard - feel free to make a PR. The GUI uses a different (additional) library for RPC in contrast to the CLI. For some reason the GUI produces a broken pipe error at irregular intervals and I don't have time to look into it at the moment. The main goal of the development is a simple p2p client, where the user can be both maker and taker. Currently I take a closer look at GNUnet to realize this in a safe way. Until then you can swap smaller amounts with Tannhauser. For Tannhauser there is a general refund window of 2 hours. Refunds for the user are possible after 1 hour or after 2 hours (Bond).

Donations

I do not accept donations. If you have some sats left donate them to the Torproject or to the EFF.
