If I recall correctly, I was told that the architecture of Monero is flexible enough to permit 'showing' certain information that is currently hidden by default.

I understand that not all individuals would want to get involved with KYC and all that, and prefer fully obfuscated transactions from beginning to end. I certainly hope that would remain a default.

Monero is such a well-designed coin, is there a way to present it so that Mastercard might consider it as a 'legit' coin to support? Maybe where the identities of the sender and receiver are revealed for Mastercard transactions per their policies and practices?

I would really like to see Monero get some mainstream use without compromising the essential coin architecture. I recognize that I'm sort of asking two questions not one. The first is regarding flipping bits on the coin itself for certain transactions only, and the second is less intrusive as it merely has KYC requirements and verifications at the endpoints.

I'm a dumbass.. Bittrex dropping monero in April so was seeking a place to put it in bit of a hurry. imymonero.com is a scam. They have solid search rankings, I fell for it-- thankfully only sent a small amount as an initial test but any loss stings. I should have checked closer-- lesson learned. When you're your own bank, slow down and take your time. Looks like the domain was just registered this month. Damnit! Education costs money ;)

Looking to meet local Monero Enthusiasts in Guatemala and a Videographer!

The Monero Talk team (u/chowbungaman & u/sunchakr) is headed down to Guatemala at the end of the week to teach the coffee farmers about Monero and to hook them up with their wallets!

We are super excited and are asking the Monero Community if any of you live in Guatemala (Antigua area) and want to help! Actually, even if you can’t help but you live in the area and want to just meet up, please reach out too!! We love meeting Monero people from around the globe :)

So if you will be in Guatemala Next week, please shoot us an email at contact@gratuitas.org

In terms of help we are looking for:

1. Someone that wants to help us teach the farmers. This will likely happen March 20-23 in Antigua, Guatemala.

2. Someone that can film a short Gratuitas documentary/commercial (maybe you have the skills or know someone we can hire locally) We want to make a short video that explains the mission of Gratuitas while showcasing the coffee product we started with.

3. Someone that has ideas for other products we can add and knows who we can contact to work on adding these products. (For example, a Guatemalan chocolate producer or someone in the Garment industry that makes t-shirts...or any other idea). We would like to visit these producers next week. We will have a car and can drive to the locations to meet them!

For anyone not familiar, Gratuitas.org is an e-commerce site we started. Gratuitas provides quality products you will love directly from the source and uses the magic of the Monero Cryptocurrency to allow you to send digital cash tips directly to the people behind the products! We currently are only selling one product: Delicious coffee direct from the SAN RAFAEL farm, located in the nutrient-rich volcanic area of Antigua, Guatemala.

Some coffee sales have been trickling in (thank you to those who have ordered!!!) and we have been holding any tips received - but now we are taking the next step of hooking the farmers up with their wallets so they can receive the Monero tips directly! The plan is to put one person in charge of the main wallet that will receive all the tips and who will be responsible for splitting and sending each farmer their portion (Like a head waiter splitting the nights tips). Each farmer will be provided their own wallet and perhaps the view keys of the main wallet so the main wallet holder can be reminded to split and send any tips received.

Our mission is to grow the usage of Monero by selling products for Monero and by introducing a powerful use case that only digital cash can achieve — allowing first world consumers to directly send tips to the low income workers behind the products they consume. Best case scenario: the small tips the farmers receive, could turn into digital gold nest eggs that they can pass on to their children!

So if you will be in Guatemala next week, please shoot us an email at contact@gratuitas.org :)

To those making painstaking efforts to understand and benefit from the knowledge of the inner workings of Monero- YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO. Do it! It will be worth it.

I’ve read Mastering Monero and just starting From Zero To Monero. I’ve also watched Monero Means Money and Sound Money Safe Mode. I’m now taking in The Monero Talks podcasts and YouTube channel plus Getmonero.org. Furthermore, I’ve started a Cryptography book by Douglas Stinson and as well as a book demonstrating the basic functions of the command line terminal. These projects may take a year to complete. Finally, I created a free website to promote Monero and attach a domain name as soon as I am sure if it’s content. (https://monero.godaddysites.com) Right now, the site is just promoting the official Monero site and other educational interfaces. I’ve been doing this since my introduction to Monero last June when I knew NOTHING AT ALL. Now, I’m just getting an inkling of inspiration and knowledge.

Any other suggestions?
