Value for Value ⚡️
And then last is something that a lot of the Monero community have been begging for for a while. But, essentially, the Monero core team, which I'll explain a little bit more in a minute, they published a transparency report. All that means is that there's a a general fund that people can donate Monero to that gets used for various things to help run the Monero ecosystem. It's managed by a group of people called the Monero core team, and they publish a report that just details exactly how much has come in, how much they've spent, all of the view keys are there to be able to prove what has been spent and what hasn't. And they published that.

According to preliminary estimates, an adversary could take advantage of the divergence between the real spend age distribution and the status quo decoy distribution to achieve an attack success probability of 23.5%, on average, since the August 2022 hard fork. This corresponds to an effective ring size of 4.2. The attack success probability prior to August 2022 may be higher, but this was not measured due to time constraints.Monero can easily scale to Bitcoin's transaction throughput on-chainhttps://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1iimio0/this_is_how_many_transactions_monero_can_handle/Doesn't account for self-custodial Lightning transactions, of courseFantastic post on Monero's upcoming addressing scheme update, CARROThttps://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1iph8fz/more_vitamins_for_monero_with_carrot_part_1/Monero Core Team posts funding transparency reporthttps://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1iixgk9/monero_general_fund_transparency_report_february/Explain Monero Core team!Software updatesCake Wallet releases v4.23.0 and v4.23.2Monero passphrase support for new and existing walletshttps://blog.cakewallet.com/cake-wallet-releases-improvements-to-zano-ledger-ethereum-and-more-v4-23-2-2/https://blog.cakewallet.com/cake-wallet-zano-integration-and-monero-passphrases-v4-23/Monero v0.18.4.0 is right around the cornerhttps://monero.observer/selsta-posts-monero-v0.18.4.0-release-to-do-list/https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/9758Links From the Episodehttps://mynymbox.io/Monerujo updatehttps://docs.cakewallet.com/IMPORTANT LINKS
