making a thread to post things that are new from monero centered content creators and whatnot, including new youtube videos from youtube channels, or new newsletters type thing
or i guess could even be more mainstream channels too like mental outlaw and whatnot, linus tech tips which most of his content is super boring but like he made a vid about grapheneOS for example, could fit here too, like whatever, not necesarily “monero only” type thing i guess, if can be relevant tech wise or somethin idk
04:18 Thoughts on Keonne’s podcasts prior to incarceration, and the sad reality that several Bitcoin podcasters only care about this case because it involves Bitcoin
Happy New Year 2026 to all Monero enthusiasts! Wishing you privacy, security, and prosperity in the year ahead.
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has received a historic $900,000 donation in Monero (XMR) from an anonymous donor. Article
RandomX v2 is set to be finished in early 2026 after additional improvements. Discussion
Committee and voter nominations have closed for the MAGIC Monero Fund 2026 Election. Voting will open on January 6, 2026. Details
well, the FSF thing is pretty massive, apparently people also wanted to donate to GNOME but it just turned into drama “cryptocoins are for the criminals” or somethin lol
the amount requested on the CCS tho is really not alot tho so shouldnt be a worry to fund it, if it ever gets to funding
and the timeline for completion is pretty short as well
an other downside i been mentioning too however, is those side projects (when talking about mobile wallets & hardware wallets tho, wasnt browser extensions) is that, alot of these stopped being maintained, Monero support dropped left and right because they cant keep up with Monero protocol updates and so on (and FCMP++ is still on the way too)
highlight that could be relevant to moneroforum would be https://monero.eco
which, tried to make an account few months ago to add the newsletters on there that are missing
but i guess it was invite only or somethin, even making a cloudron account or whatever it was didnt work
but if anyone able to, in the “forums” category, could add moneroforum there: https://gitea.pro/schmidt1024/monero-ecosystem
