  • With over 11 years of history, we can now say with certainty that Monero was started by individuals. Over time, autonomous systems, scripts and high-performance computers have also played a part, albeit a small one. As long as we have XMR in our private wallets and use them, we are already participating in the Monero system. Operating a network node ourselves and, at best, connecting our wallets to it is a further step that allows the individual to become a large part of the system. Anyone who also mines with their computer actively participates in the consensus logic and helps the entire network. And anyone who actively participates in the community and tells others about Monero is definitely also an important part of Monero.



  • With every use of Monero we show that we are against surveillance, control and paternalism of states and institutions. Monero is for the individual, for the single person.

    Never Meant to Be Controlled — So Why Are We Letting It Happen?

    Monero is permissionless. Nobody has to ask to participate in the system. If, for example, Microsoft or Amazon decide to mine XMR on all their instances next week, nobody can or should do anything about it. See it as a accolade if others turn to Monero and, however, take advantage of it and actively use the system.

    I watched the video. You should view this gentleman’s opinion with skepticism and not share and spread it. It only unsettles technically inexperienced users, who most likely do not increase the security level in the Tor browser anyway. This has been discussed, so the majority of users never adjust the security slider in the Tor browser. And now only the Tor Browser user’s operating systems are recognizable for visited websites. So Linux, Mac, Windows, not every system is always spoofed as Windows anymore. This was a conscious decision by Torproject. You shouldn’t put the opinion of a guy on Youtube above the competence of the developers.
