Hello everybody this is Peter with Clearwater-Trust .com and today I’m going to be showing you how to swap funds Bitcoin to Monero using the swap card on the Clearwater-Trust landing page.
Let me show you the funds in the wallet. We’ll be swapping 0 .01 Bitcoin into Monero. Let’s just take a look real quick. You can see my balance of Monero is 0. Balance of Bitcoin is 0 .01. We’ll go back to the landing page. Here’s the swap card.
I’ll select my entire balance to trade and that will be approximately 1 .23 Monero. And in this instance I’ll be paying from my Clearwater-Trust wallet balance. So it will be an instant swap.
Guests are also able to make a swap. They will have to wait the required confirmations– for Bitcoin it’s one confirmation on the blockchain. For Monero it is three confirmations on the blockchain.
Since funds are already on my Clearwater-Trust wallet this will be an instant swap. Review the details and create swap.
Okay swap is complete. There’s my swap ID for any support issues. But let’s go back to the wallet.
And you can see the Monero is now in my wallet ready to be sent.
Bitcoin is sent away and now we do have Monero ready to go.
This is Peter with Clearwater-Trust. Stay tuned for many more tutorials.
