There have been attempts to recruit editors of specific viewpoints to this article, in a manner that does not comply with Wikipedia's policies. Editors are encouraged to use neutral mechanisms for requesting outside input (e.g. a "request for comment", a third opinion or other noticeboard post, or neutral criteria: "pinging all editors who have edited this page in the last 48 hours"). If someone has asked you to provide your opinion here, examine the arguments, not the editors who have made them. Reminder: disputes are resolved by consensus, not by majority vote.

WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Monero, along with other pages relating to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

Update Infobox

The article is protected, can someone else make these changes? The block reward has fallen to like 0.7 XMR, but just post the "Tail Emission" block reward because this article is only getting updated a few times every year, and the tail emission will stay the same and we won't need to change it.

Block Reward = 0.6 XMR (Tail Emission after May 2022)

Plural = Moneroj

Symbol = XMR or ɱ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.228.183.181 (talk) 18:49, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please capitalize Monero

the article is filled with "monero" instead of Monero 84.232.179.231 (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I noticed this too. I'll change it now.

Bangabandhu (talk) 14:08, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Monero has completed its tail emission time to reflect this

In light of news Monero has fixed its block reward at 0.6 XMR (or in other conversion 0.60 XMR) from Late May 2022 onwards I suggest that we update the article to reflect this the block reward even before now wasn't even 0.67 it was usually between 0.61 and 0.63 Monero that 0.67 was probably from last year anyway that's my suggestion let me know what you think Dolapomoradeyo2 (talk) 14:38, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Monero Can Now Be Tracked By US Homeland Security

Vincent Mislos, 08/31/20 AT 11:17 PM, International Business Times A tool for tracing Monero was built by intelligence firm CipherTrace for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The firm said the tool would be beneficial Monero, getting listed again in exchanges that delisted it. The tool could allow investigators to explore Monero transactions. The firm spent one year developing the tool as per its contract with the DHS Science & Technology. It was also paid $2.4 million out of a maximum of $3.6 million potential value in the contract signed in 2018. While the tool can track stolen or illegal funds, CipherTrace plans to add more features, such as wallet identification and exchange attribution. But the private nature of Monero makes the tool unable to give a 100% guarantee on the data. CipherTrace CEO Dave Jevans said tracing Monero is more about probability than guarantee. "You can say: Well, I have 98% probability that this went from this address to this address, or 78%, or that type of thing," When asked if the tool can trace the identity of the individuals, Jevans said "We don’t identify individuals," he said. "That task belonged to the law enforcement,"^[1] 21:29, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
