Swap CLI
The CLI defaults to mainnet (from version 0.6.0 onwards).
For testing and to familiarise yourself with the tool, we recommend you to try it on testnet first.
To do that, pass the --testnet flag with the actual command:
swap --testnet <SUBCOMMAND>
Take note that applying --testnet results in transacting on Bitcoin testnet and on Monero stagenet, not on Monero testnet.
The two main commands of the CLI are:
buy-xmr: for swapping BTC to XMR with a particular sellerlist-sellers: for discovering available sellers through a rendezvous point
Running swap --help gives us roughly the following output:
swap 0.8.0

CLI for swapping BTC for XMR
USAGE:
swap [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <SUBCOMMAND>
FLAGS:
--debug Activate debug logging
-h, --help Prints help information
-j, --json Outputs all logs in JSON format instead of plain text
--testnet Swap on testnet and assume testnet defaults for data-dir and the blockchain related parameters
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
--data-base-dir <data> The base data directory to be used for mainnet / testnet specific data like database, wallets etc
SUBCOMMANDS:
buy-xmr Start a BTC for XMR swap
list-sellers Discover and list sellers (i.e. ASB providers)
cancel Try to cancel an ongoing swap (expert users only)
help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
history Show a list of past, ongoing and completed swaps
refund Try to cancel a swap and refund the BTC (expert users only)
resume Resume a swap
Swapping BTC for XMR
Running swap buy-xmr --help gives us roughly the following output:
swap-buy-xmr 0.8.0
Start a BTC for XMR swap
USAGE:
swap buy-xmr [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] --change-address <bitcoin-change-address> --receive-address <monero-receive-address> --seller <seller>
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
--testnet Swap on testnet and assume testnet defaults for data-dir and the blockchain related parameters
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
--change-address <bitcoin-change-address> The bitcoin address where any form of change or excess funds should be sent to
--receive-address <monero-receive-address> The monero address where you would like to receive monero
--seller <seller> The seller's address. Must include a peer ID part, i.e. `/p2p/`
--electrum-rpc <bitcoin-electrum-rpc-url> Provide the Bitcoin Electrum RPC URL
--bitcoin-target-block <bitcoin-target-block> Estimate Bitcoin fees such that transactions are confirmed within the specified number of blocks
--monero-daemon-address <monero-daemon-address> Specify to connect to a monero daemon of your choice: <host>:<port>
--tor-socks5-port <tor-socks5-port> Your local Tor socks5 proxy port [default: 9050]
This command has three core options:
--change-address: A Bitcoin address you control. Will be used for refunds of any kind. You can also omit this flag which will refund any change to the internal wallet.--receive-address: A Monero address you control. This is where you will receive the Monero after the swap.--seller: The multiaddress of the seller you want to swap with.
Discovering sellers
Running swap list-sellers --help gives us roughly the following output:
swap-list-sellers 0.8.0
Discover and list sellers (i.e. ASB providers)
USAGE:
swap list-sellers [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
--testnet Swap on testnet and assume testnet defaults for data-dir and the blockchain related parameters
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
--rendezvous-point <rendezvous-point> Address of the rendezvous point you want to use to discover ASBs
--tor-socks5-port <tor-socks5-port> Your local Tor socks5 proxy port [default: 9050]
Running swap --testnet list-sellers --rendezvous-point /dns4/discover.unstoppableswap.net/tcp/8888/p2p/12D3KooWA6cnqJpVnreBVnoro8midDL9Lpzmg8oJPoAGi7YYaamE will give you something like:

or this if a node is not reachable:

Automating discover and swapping
The buy-xmr and list-sellers command have been designed to be composed.
This script is example of what can be done.
Deciding on the seller to use is non-trivial to automate which is why it is not implemented as part of the tool.
Tor
By default, the CLI will look for Tor at the default socks port 9050 and automatically route all traffic with a seller through Tor.
This allows swapping with sellers that are only reachable with an onion address.
Disclaimer:
Communication with public blockchain explorers (Electrum, public XMR nodes) currently goes through clearnet.
For complete anonymity it is recommended to run your own blockchain nodes.
Use swap buy-xmr --help to see configuration options.
