Monero - The Next Generation of Private Currency
Monero is an alternate form of currency (Cryptocurrency) that focuses on security, privacy and decentralization. It focuses on allowing a person to perform transactions without a public record of where the money is coming from or going. This allows the user to maintain complete anonymity from prying eyes. A main goal of this project is to ensure that it is not run entirely by a few large groups, and that you do not need to trust anyone on the network to have it function. This is crucial to Monero's entire purpose as a currency.
The project began in 2014 and will have been a work in progress for four years come this April. It has had 336 contributors thus far, with a core team of 7 people. It is mainly coded in C++, with small percentages of C, CMake, Objective-C, Shell and Python added as well. It has a total commit count of 5,419 commits. It's latest commit as of this post was around 7:30 pm EST, January 25th 2018. Currently, it has 152 issues submitted to its project page.
Monero is available to purchase right now on a variety of cryptocurrency exchanges such as Bittrex, Binance, Bitfinex and Cryptopia. Although a work in progress, it is a project that currently has a working product. The team has produced an official "wallet" that allows you to store your coins securely and safely once they are transferred from the exchange of your choice. Other wallets exist for the coin, made and hosted by other groups such as mymonero.com.
