Monero contents (youtubes, newsletters etc)

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

not much new on this week’s cyphergoat newsletter thing:
https://cyphergoat.com/this-week-in-monero/issue-17

  • 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

seems like someone else also just opened a CCS for a browser extension thing:
https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/636

i still really dont like the idea of those tho
especially that on december 24th, 2025 that thing happened too lol:
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/trust-wallet-confirms-extension-hack-led-to-7-million-crypto-theft/

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)

as for moneroforum tho, would suggest maybe instead giving a look at:
https://github.com/spirobel/monero-discourse-subscriptions

@admin ^

still not much new in this week’s cyphergoat newsletter thing:
https://cyphergoat.com/this-week-in-monero/issue-18

something about a new centralized pool which, centralized pools shouldnt even be endorsed (solo-mining and P2Pool are the way)
something about a monero meetup thing, fails at opsec be like:
https://github.com/jlopp/physical-bitcoin-attacks/blob/master/README.md

smol fix on the haveno mobile app:
https://github.com/atsamd21/Haveno-app/releases/tag/v1.0.1.1
retoswap’s release should come soonish as well

Monero v0.18.4.5 is out btw:
https://github.com/monero-project/monero/releases

https://www.themoneromoon.com/p/the-monero-moon-issue-86
extensive newsletter for this week, as usual for themoneromoon
i too lazy to copy paste to do the formatting on here for it, is pretty extensive

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:
