Individual wallets have a 25-word mnemonic seed that is only displayed once and can be written down to backup the wallet. Wallet files should be encrypted with a strong passphrase to ensure they are useless if ever stolen. **Untraceability:** By taking advantage of ring signatures, a special property of a certain type of cryptography, Monero is able to ensure that transactions are not only untraceable but have an optional measure of ambiguity that ensures that transactions cannot easily be tied back to an individual user or computer. @@ -111,7 +112,7 @@ See [LICENSE](LICENSE). ## Contributing -If you want to help out, see [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) for a set of guidelines. +If you want to help out, see [CONTRIBUTING](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md) for a set of guidelines. ## Scheduled software upgrades @@ -648,11 +649,11 @@ monero-wallet-cli, and possibly monerod, if you get crashes refreshing. ## Internationalization -See [README.i18n.md](README.i18n.md). +See [README.i18n.md](docs/README.i18n.md). ## Using Tor -> There is a new, still experimental, [integration with Tor](ANONYMITY_NETWORKS.md).
