From 0.242041 to 8,200 ZEC per order. The lower limit is roughly $295.19.

Where does the 0.242041 ZEC floor come from?

What else is taken on top of the rate?

The payout is already calculated at the rate in the calculator. On top of it you only pay the network fee for sending ZEC, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.

How long does ZEC to BTC take?

The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Zcash confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Zcash closes in about 1.3 min.

Which network will BTC arrive in?

What if the rate moves while I am paying?

The rate is pinned to the order and does not move while the order is alive. It can be recalculated if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.

The month came in at plus 1.38%. Low 0.0137617, high 0.0164346, middle 0.0151103 BTC per ZEC.

Can a ZEC to BTC swap be traced?

Transfers in public networks sit in the explorer for anyone to read. Privacy coins close that off: Monero always, Zcash and Dash when a shielded transfer is chosen.

Can I go back, BTC to ZEC?

Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 BTC = 64.2076 ZEC. The link sits right under the calculator.
