<h3>What Is This Site?</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This site is just a simple list of servers powering the cryptocurrency network of <a href="https://web.getmonero.org/get-started/what-is-monero/" target="_blank">Monero</a>, a private, digital currency (cryptocurrency).
|
|
</p>
|
|

<h3>How Do I Use Monero?</h3>
|
|

|

|
|

<h3>How Do I Get Monero?</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are a few ways.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You can buy it from an exchange such as <a href="https://kraken.com" target="_blank">Kraken</a>, <a href="https://tradeogre.com" target="_blank">TradeOgre</a>, and <a href="https://localmonero.co" target="_blank">LocalMonero</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can also mine it if you have a fast enough computer. I wouldn't recommend buying a computer just for this unless you're really into that sort of thing.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can also earn it by providing some sort of service or selling goods and merchandise. There are many plugins that allow you to run a web store that accepts Monero.

<h3>How Do I Run My Own Node?</h3>

Running a node requires a little bit of technical ability. It won't earn you any money, but it improves the resilience of the network. Here are 2 great places to get started:

<h3>Isn't Cryptocurrency for Criminals?</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
No, but this is a common misconception.
|
|
Cryptocurrencies are built by and for the people of the world in an attempt
|
|
to fill in the gaps where our existing institutions have failed us.
|
|
There is nothing wrong with people exchanging goods and services with one another
|
|
and transacting with whatever they believe has value; this is a human right.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Why Monero and not ____?</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Monero has a long history of being open, honest, professional, and community-focused.
|
|
It is built with first-class privacy features that protects it's users from snooping and blockchain analysis.
|
|
The nature of most cryptocurrencies is that they use transparent ledgers,
|
|
meaning anyone in the world can view your wallet balance and transactions;
|
|
there is very little privacy focus.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Monero is one of very few truly fungible,
|
|
private cryptocurrencies that exist today.
