Hello everyone, As many of you know, [getmonero.org](http://getmonero.org) has been using the same design for quite some time now. While it's served us well, some community members have mentioned that the current look is starting to feel a bit dated & amateur. The Monero Website work group is looking for some more community feedback to be discussed at the [next meeting](https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/1073) (feel free to join!). Would you prefer to keep the current design, or should we consider refreshing it? We’ve received two alternative concepts by community members Diego and hammermann (linked below) and would love to get your feedback. Please let us know your thoughts! What do you like about the current site? What would you change? If you prefer one of the new concepts, tell us why. Your input is invaluable as we move forward with making any potential changes. Looking forward to hearing from everyone! Links to the concepts: 1. [Redesign Concept - Diego](https://rimgo.hostux.net/K7Cb9cD.png) 2. [Redesign Concept - hammermann ](https://www.figma.com/design/yT4JTUfvBkAsBDPNPJL1gx/Monero-Redesign-Concept) Thanks in advance! :)

Thanks for making this thread. I don't have any real criticism, just hoping for FCMPs and Serai to work out smoothly. Both of them are absolutely vital for Moneros future.

Recently, the option to trade and withdraw (!!!) Monero was suddenly gone for about a day without a word from them on what is going on. I would stay away.

Could be but I don't think so. We have seen increased transactions around summertime before, imo it's people buying stuff to use during summer vacation.
There's also the fact that more and more xmr transactions move away from binance-like-CEX to instant swappers. Oh and of course, the binance delisting was officially concluded 2 days ago and it was the last chance for people to withdraw their coins.

On matrix the meetings are held and people just generally hang out. There is still r/monero & r/monerosupport as well as monero.town but that one's a bit less accessible for people new to Monero.

The serai coin is mainly used as stake and pair for liquidity pools, it's not supposed to be used for payments. Imo taint is less of an issue, you're only at risk when not using Monero and that's the case no matter if you got the coins from Serai or any other exchange.

Im quite happy with the pace monero.town is growing, especially since it was initially only set up as a fallback in case the subreddit gets banned.
Serai requires it's own coin for the design to work, there is no real way around it.

Most of the regulars are hanging out on matrix. There are actually a lot of exciting things in the pipeline: Monerokon, Haveno, Serai, FCMPs, etc.
People have said the current bullrun in general is boring and the excitement is nothing compared to the last one. And Monero isn't even participating in the current bullrun :P

So what? It takes 3 days to sync an ETH node, 10 days for a chia node. These aren't lightwallets, this is network infrastructure.
Many nodes are actually ran on raspberry PIs.
I very much doubt that considering how raspberries don't have physical AES and already took +3 weeks to sync before the transaction spike.
We could easily exceed 2TB every 10years.
I'd be perfectly fine with that. Right now you can get 2 TB SSDs for about 1 XMR. At the current rate (and it's been similar for decades) they will be worth less than 20$ in a couple of years. Monero turns 10 this April and we are currently at only ~200 GB. And we still have pruning!
Storage isn't the limiting factor, it's bandwidth.

Great post 🚀
Really like the idea but see some problems with it.
the demand for illegal narcotics from people smart enough to use Tor Browser is probably at the end of its elasticity
While this is likely true, it doesn't get easier to use Tor depending on whether you want to buy a fake Gucci sweater or black tar heroin.
I do believe Monero still has massive potential in swallowing up many P2P drug transactions should CBDCs be used to really clamp down on cash and when that happens, other sectors will be affected as well: "You're carbon credit allowance for this month has run out, no more meat for you."

I don't actually think 150GB per year is an issue. This still gives you +5 years on a 1TB SSD. That's half a decade of time, Monero is only 10 years old. Plenty of time for storage to advance.

Agreed. Currently we are at ~190 GB with ~8.5 GB growth over the last 3 months. This is just 34 GB per year and a 500 GB SSD would last another 7 years at the current growth-rate. You can already get 2 TB SSDs for less than 150€. Storage really isn't the issue, the biggest limitation is bandwidth.

Space nodes are at best useful as a marketing stunt. It's really the worst place to put a computer. A node in a bunker is much safer and is actually maintainable after its initial deployment, if you need coverage anywhere on earth, Elon has already spent billions for you to utilize starlink :)
I'd propose to instead do a fundraiser to buy our own version of the cyberbunker where we can set up a real beefy node, host events, set up a hacker space, etc ;)

As far as I understand it, you can use it to sign a message with your private key and someone else can verify it with your address and this prove you actually own that address. Can also be used for logins, I believe mitra.social has that as an option.

Based on the current liquidity on samourai swaps and BasicSwapDex, I doubt there is THAT much volume going unnoticed but there is definitely some. I'm very interested in what SeraiDEX will reveal about Monero.

Very interesting statement 🤔
The instance is now over half a year old and so far we've experience decent growth and minimal downtime. I'm quite happy with it. Even though most content is still on r/Monero, we do get a handful of posts every week. Since this was primarily set up as a fallback for the subreddit without any spam/scam bots thanks to strict whitelisting I think the initial goal has been more than fulfilled :) What do you guys think?

This is an interesting proposal. From what I have heard, core doesn't do all that much these days besides getting blamed when something goes wrong. Splitting up their responsibilities and decentralizing them sounds like a good option for Moneros future.

It looks like they are a very new company and their affiliate FAQ reads quite unprofessionally. On top of that a 8% fee. I'd steer clear and use buy.cakepay.web instead but that doesn't mean these guys are scammers.

It has been around for a decent amount of time and from what I could tell had a decent reputation. It might have even been per order escrow but the market can still steal the money in escrow.
Something like the particl marketplace would be great for repeat small time buyers but for everyone else the collateral requirements are either too annoying for infrequent buys or too expensive for large deals.
Can't do 2-2 without collateral since the buyer has no incentive to release funds once they received their merchandise and even non malicious buyers would often just forget about it.

No need for that. Sending your entire balance to your own wallet effectively resets the sync height. I did it for all my wallets after the last hardfork.

Tor2door exit scammed recently and Monero has risen a bit in price, i'd say these two events are mainly responsible for the uptick. Still great to see so many transactions this deep into a bearmarket.

I myself used a rock pi 4 for a while to run a node but have gone back to running it on a more powerful machine and in docker. Raspberries used to be cool but now there are way better alternives.
I have a couple of servers, domains, etc. that I need to keep track of and would like to have them all displayed in a nice dashboard/overview since I don't really want to put them in my regular calendar. Any suggestions? Edit: Someone replied in a different community that they use [Subz](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.flasskamp.subz/) and I'll give that a try :)

I've wanted to get into 3d printing for a while now and have been checking out the prusa mk4 and the bambu lab x1. The bambu looks amazing in all aspects besides repairability and offline printing, with the latter one looking like a real deal breaker. It seems like all the more advanced features need a connection to the cloud, which I really don't like. On the other hand we have the prusa which seems to be running really rushed software still missing a lot of features that the hardware should be able to support and the price looks like way worse value compared to the stuff you get with the bambu. At least it's repairable and no cloud bullshit. Should I just come back in a year and hope that the mk4 software has gotten better or the bambu doesn't require internet for all the cool stuff? Edit: Just woke up and I want to thank everyone in this thread for the quality replies! I'll look into 3d modeling first and if the prusa doesn't anymore have janky alpha input shaping 2-3 months from now I'll go with that, otherwise I'll have to look for alternatives. Since I'd be running prints throughout the day while I'm not at home, I'd want something more reliable than an ender 3. Edit 2: I just found out about the Bambu p1s, I might just get that one.

There are already 2TB SSDs available for less than 80€ and prices are expected to go even lower. I agree with Artic Mine and believe storage is not going to be a problem for Monero and that the only real bottleneck is upload speed. What do you think?
