Why Monero?

Monero is secure.

Monero can't be hacked to steal your funds, due to the power of distributed consensus. This means that you are responsible for your own money, and don't have to trust any entity to keep it safe for you.

Monero is private.

The power of the blockchain usually increases security at the cost of privacy, but with Monero's sophisticated privacy-centric technology, you get all of the security benefits of the blockchain without any of the privacy trade-offs.

Monero is untraceable.

By taking advantage of ring signatures, Monero makes it ambiguous which funds have been spent, and thus extremely unlikely that a transaction could be linked to any particular user.

Monero is fungible.

Because of its on-by-default privacy technologies, Monero is fungible, which means that one Monero will always be equal to another. This ensures that there will be no discrimination over the origin or history of your coins, lessening the worry of potential blacklisting by exchanges or vendors.

Hi

I documented myself about Monero and it seem really great !

I would like to start my own node but obviously before I have some questions and I would like to exchange about it.

Like lemmy is still "marginal" but growing, the community's are still low, so I went on the official website of Monero but I see that they only propose linear chat services that require that you identify yourself ! or belong to GAFAM and that goes quite to the opposite of what Monero fight for to preserve your right to anonymity.

Do you know a crowded lemmy community where I could exchange with other Monero enthusiasts or anything else that is a like a built-in board forum where when you have a question you can open a dedicated thread and exchange on that thread ?

Thanks.

Feel free to use this one any time. If you are exclusively looking for forums, there's https://forum.monero.space/ but activity is low, akin to this sub... lemmy? Most people hang either on reddit or matrix/IRC, I reckon.

Maybe this guide might help you? https://expatriotic.me/monero/
