Thanks to @monerica and @xenu for spearheading the project of Monero Shame List to identify privacy minded business in the internet but ironically they do not accept Monero for their donation, I would like to propose a complimentary idea to this project which is Monero Trusted List. Don't need to make a whole new website, maybe add new section to the Monero Shame List which using this title.
So what is this Monero Trusted List i'm talking about. It's a list of trusted individual in Monero community. We have lots of influential people here in our community. Just name a few such as Monerica, Xenu, Douglas Touman etc. The purpose of this list is to show the newcomers who they can trust in the community. When our community is filled with selfish scammer, this is a necessary step to clear our name in the Crypto space. Let us show to the world that we are genuine.
To be honest there is a lot of way to approach this trusted list but I think it wouldn't be hurt for the project to add it there.
Furthermore, here is a few individual that I believe are good in community as far as I'm aware
- Monerica
- Xenu
- Douglas Touman
- Aillia
- Nolan
- Mav
- SlowBearDigger
- Sam Bent (Duh everyone already knew this one)
- Yuzuki
There should be more but this is what currently in my mind.
EDIT: To mitigate scammer immitate popular figure on Monero community I think we should add disclaimer that these individual do not offer money prizes nor swap services as those two method is the most used strategy to scam people in the community.
