Here's some fun early Monero history - in 2014 / 2015 there weren't a lot of donations to cover Monero costs, so core contributors would pay for them out of pocket. We tracked all of this on a spreadsheet (that we still have) because we figured one day we'd be able to get it back from the dev fund - although we never ended up doing that😅 In total I spent well over $100k on Monero development until the FFS and donations made it more self-sufficient towards the end of 2015. What did this pay for? It included things like making Monero work on Windows (via msys2 / mingw), building out the entire FFS (which eventually became the CCS), all the work on the first GUI, lots of early cryptography work, all the initial embedded DB work (Monero loaded the entire blockchain into RAM until the beginning of 2015!), the work on MRL-0001 / MRL-0004 / MRL-0005, and Monero's 0MQ integration. Monero is only where it is today because of the sacrifices and early financial contributions of people like othe, NoodleDoodle, as well as the tireless (and unpaid!) efforts of people like smooth, David Latapie, moneromooo, WarpTangent, luigi1111, binaryFate, and countless others I've failed to mention.

To put to bed the claim that a Monero viewkey that allows you to see that funds have left the wallet is a new thing, not only has it been discussed at length since Monero's outset as an enhancement to the incoming-only viewkey (which, in turn, has existed since Monero's creation), but here is an open GitHub issue from 2016 with the very first concrete proposal: github.com/monero-project… When Carrot goes live, this 10 year old issue can finally be closed. Sadly, my 2014 proposal to use "account" instead of "wallet" as the nomenclature never got the same traction: github.com/monero-project… Oh well🙃

@Bank_Exit @monero @fluffypony Importing the .raw is slower than syncing from scratch, unless you don't verify anything which is a bad idea. All references to the .raw should have been removed from website. Where did you get the idea and most imoortantly what's your use case?

If you're a freelancer or contractor regularly invoicing EU/UK/US companies and you want to get paid in crypto, this is the simplest way. You don't need to convince the companies paying you. In fact these companies may not even know that any crypto is involved.

@Real__Glitch There is no KYC till 1000€. I'm one of the co-founders and would love to see Monero supported, but we'll need to see proven demand to convince my partners :) Anyway thanks for having a look and feedback.

@sethforprivacy You must have missed the Monero Policy Working Group answer to the FATF guidance. We emphasized at the time that broad VASP interpretation was the main concern. moneropolicy.org/assets/pdfs/MP…

@pfiifeflutscher @schmidt1024 Rino doesn't help for that use case. There are fallbacks in place if I get hit by a bus. Will happily change setup when convincingly possible, as I am practically affected in my own personal life for these services rendered to the community. I publish key images with each report.

@janowitz @calciferciccio @selsta541 @fluffypony Feel free to propose a rewrite that remains technically correct and informative, there will probably be consensus to merge it (and me ok to deploy).
