Hey guys,

We're Monero advocates and built libereco.xyz for the community and anyone interested in Monero. Libereco is an Esperanto word meaning Freedom or Liberty.

Libereco Resources is a Monero knowledge and resources aggregator. You can find resources such as how Monero works, the history and origin of Monero, available wallets, how to mine, buy or spend Monero, as well as all kinds of technical and educational resources, videos, media literature. You can also suggest resources that we are missing but should be included.

On top of that we also have a Monero Dashboard with news and community feeds, price chart, tickers, and network stats. The Dashboard is something we're looking to improve in the future with different charts and more stats. We also hope to offer our own blockchain explorer in the future.

And lastly we also have a Blogo (esperanto for Blog) with articles written by several different authors related to Monero, privacy, sovereignty, agorism etc.

Please check it out, share it, and let us know your feedback, thanks.

Unless you enjoy holding paper monero, and letting centralized exchanges get away with fractional reserves, always withdraw your crypto!

gotta convince the normie friends to use Monero somehow, showing evidence of the corruption is a start

On 7th May 2024, LocalMonero and it's sister site, AgoraDesk, announced they would be "winding down" their operations. After almost 7 years of operation the P2P cryptocurrency exchange platforms have decided to shutdown due to "a combination of internal and external factors".

I only had time to read it once but here are some interesting points:

• This would put a 2-year moratorium on mixers.
• It interestingly classifies 'Privacy Coins' in a different category than mixers.
• States there are 'legitimate uses' for mixers
• Would have the Secretary of the Treasury prepare a report that includes information on "The capacity of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and Federal and State law enforcement agencies to track, prevent the transfer of, freeze, and confiscate funds that have been processed through digital asset mixers, privacy coins, and other anonymity-enhancing technologies"

Full proposal available here: https://casten.house.gov/imo/media/doc/blockchain_integrity_act.pdf

LocalMonero appears to be shutting down, which leaves a void in the space. Thankfully, Bisq is still around. However, there seems to be a trend to delisting Monero more and more across the board.

Old news that I just happened upon. Open Collective manages donations for many open source projects. Their reasons for discontinuing crypto supports are all problems that XMR fixes.

So frustrating when people throw the baby out with the bath water here. Imagine Henry Ford with his Model-T.

You have to inflate the tires? You have to keep filling it with gas all the time? Only 10MPH? Yeah no thanks, we're banning your "auto mobile" project, this would never work.

This isn't even a good metaphor considering XMR already exists as a solution.
