Hello, AnonyMD community. We want to share an important update about our service and be transparent about recent changes.
What Happened: XMRBazaar Connection Issues
Recently, we experienced technical difficulties with XMRBazaar integration, which temporarily prevented order processing for our STARTER plan. While we worked to resolve this issue, we realized this was an opportunity to improve our service in a more fundamental way.
Our Solution: Direct Communication Channels
Instead of relying solely on third-party platforms, we've implemented direct ordering methods that align better with our privacy-first philosophy:
Email Orders
anonymously-moldova[dot]proton[at]me- End-to-end encryption available (PGP)
- Personal support for each order
- Flexible payment arrangements
XMPP/Jabber Chat
anonymd[dot]xmpp[at]is- Real-time discussion
- OMEMO encryption supported
- Faster response for urgent matters
New Feature: Prepayment Discounts
To reward customers who commit to longer terms and to improve our cash flow stability, we've introduced bulk prepayment discounts:
- 3 months: 5% discount
- 6 months: 10% discount
- 12 months: 15% discount (Coming Soon)
Example: STARTER plan at €3/month
- Pay monthly: €3 × 12 = €36/year
- Pay annually: €30.60/year (save €5.40!)
The Reality: Pricing Adjustment
Here's where we need to be honest with you. While adding these features improves service quality, they also increase our operational costs:
Increased Costs
- Manual processing time: Each order requires personal attention
- Support overhead: Email and XMPP support need dedicated hours
- Infrastructure: Encrypted communication tools and backup systems
- Payment processing: Multiple cryptocurrency payment verification
Previous vs. New Pricing
STARTER Plan:
- Previous: €2/month
- New: €3/month
PROFESSIONAL Plan (Coming Soon):
- Previous: €4/month
- New: €6/month
BUSINESS Plan (Coming Soon):
- Previous: €8/month
- New: €10/month
Why This Change is Necessary
When we launched at €2/month, we were using automated systems through XMRBazaar. The recent connectivity issues revealed the vulnerability of depending on a single third-party platform.
The new pricing reflects:
- Real human support instead of automation
- Greater flexibility in payment methods
- Direct communication channels
- Sustainable business model for long-term reliability
What You Gain
This isn't just a price increase—it's an upgrade in service quality:
- Direct Support: Speak with real people who care about your privacy
- Flexible Ordering: Choose the method that suits you best
- Bulk Discounts: Save up to 15% with annual prepayment
- Multiple Crypto Options: XMR, BTC, LTC, plus PayPal
- Custom Solutions: Discuss special requirements directly with us
- Faster Response: XMPP chat for urgent issues
For Existing Customers
If you're already using our services at the previous pricing:
- Your current rate is honored for your existing commitment period
- When renewal time comes, the new pricing will apply
- You can lock in savings with prepayment discounts
Transparency in Our Journey
We believe in being honest with our community. Yes, we're increasing prices. But we're also:
- Providing better service
- Reducing dependency on third parties
- Building a more sustainable business
- Staying true to privacy principles
The truth is: €2/month was unsustainable with manual processing. At €3/month with bulk discounts, we can provide the quality support you deserve while keeping prices far below competitors who charge €5-10/month for similar services.
