< p > Monero is a decentralized cryptocurrency, meaning secure digital cash powered by a network operated by its users. Transactions are confirmed by distributed consensus, and then immutably recorded on the blockchain. You are the bank - no one knows how much you have or how you spend it. < / p >

2017-09-11 01:06:20 +03:00
< p > Monero uses ring signatures and ring confidential transactions to obfuscate the amounts, origins, and destinations of all transactions. Monero provides all the benefits of a decentralized cryptocurrency, without any of the privacy concessions. < / p >

2017-09-11 02:59:27 +03:00
< p > Monero is fungible because it is private by default. This means no one can tell one Monero from another Monero and therefore it can't be blacklisted by exchanges or vendors.< / p >
