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. @@ -95,15 +95,13 @@ The Monero donation address is: `888tNkZrPN6JsEgekjMnABU4TBzc2Dt29EPAvkRxbANsAnj The Bitcoin donation address is: `1KTexdemPdxSBcG55heUuTjDRYqbC5ZL8H` -Core development funding and/or some supporting services are also graciously provided by sponsors: +Core development funding and/or some supporting services are also graciously provided by [sponsors](https://www.getmonero.org/community/sponsorships/): -[<img width="80" src="https://static.getmonero.org/images/sponsors/mymonero.png"/>](https://mymonero.com) -[<img width="150" src="https://static.getmonero.org/images/sponsors/kitware.png?1"/>](https://kitware.com) -[<img width="100" src="https://static.getmonero.org/images/sponsors/dome9.png"/>](https://dome9.com) -[<img width="150" src="https://static.getmonero.org/images/sponsors/araxis.png"/>](https://araxis.com) -[<img width="150" src="https://static.getmonero.org/images/sponsors/jetbrains.png"/>](https://www.jetbrains.com/) -[<img width="150" src="https://static.getmonero.org/images/sponsors/navicat.png"/>](https://www.navicat.com/) -[<img width="150" src="https://static.getmonero.org/images/sponsors/symas.png"/>](https://www.symas.com/) +[<img width="150" src="https://www.getmonero.org/img/sponsors/tarilabs.png"/>](https://tarilabs.com/) +[<img width="150" src="https://www.getmonero.org/img/sponsors/globee.png"/>](https://globee.com/) +[<img width="150" src="https://www.getmonero.org/img/sponsors/symas.png"/>](https://symas.com/) +[<img width="150" src="https://www.getmonero.org/img/sponsors/forked_logo.png"/>](http://www.forked.net/) +[<img width="150" src="https://www.getmonero.org/img/sponsors/macstadium.png"/>](https://www.macstadium.com/) There are also several mining pools that kindly donate a portion of their fees, [a list of them can be found on our Bitcointalk post](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.0). @@ -113,7 +111,7 @@ 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 @@ -134,8 +132,8 @@ Dates are provided in the format YYYY-MM-DD. | 1788000 | 2019-03-09 | v10 | v0.14.0.0 | v0.14.1.2 | New PoW based on Cryptonight-R, new block weight algorithm, slightly more efficient RingCT format | 1788720 | 2019-03-10 | v11 | v0.14.0.0 | v0.14.1.2 | forbid old RingCT transaction format | 1978433 | 2019-11-30* | v12 | v0.15.0.0 | v0.16.0.0 | New PoW based on RandomX, only allow >= 2 outputs, change to the block median used to calculate penalty, v1 coinbases are forbidden, rct sigs in coinbase forbidden, 10 block lock time for incoming outputs -| 2210000 | 2020-10-17 | v13 | v0.17.0.0 | v0.17.0.0 | New CLSAG transaction format -| 2210720 | 2020-10-18 | v14 | v0.17.0.0 | v0.17.0.0 | forbid old MLSAG transaction format +| 2210000 | 2020-10-17 | v13 | v0.17.0.0 | v0.17.1.1 | New CLSAG transaction format +| 2210720 | 2020-10-18 | v14 | v0.17.1.1 | v0.17.1.1 | forbid old MLSAG transaction format | XXXXXXX | XXX-XX-XX | XXX | vX.XX.X.X | vX.XX.X.X | XXX | X's indicate that these details have not been determined as of commit date. @@ -295,7 +293,7 @@ Tested on a Raspberry Pi Zero with a clean install of minimal Raspbian Stretch ( ```bash git clone https://github.com/monero-project/monero.git cd monero - git checkout tags/v0.17.0.0 + git checkout tags/v0.17.1.0 ``` * Build: @@ -412,10 +410,10 @@ application. cd monero ``` -* If you would like a specific [version/tag](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/tags), do a git checkout for that version. eg.
