Monero is an open source cryptocurrency, whose main focus lies on being completely anonymous – untraceable and private. Bitcoin’s transactions are traceable, but Monero’s can be fully anonymized like fiat currencies. It is a fork of Bytecoin, the original privacy token.

This ring signature masks the randomly generated authentication keys and helps to keep down tractions information to only pertinent data. It facilitates the ability to verify the traction in person both by the senders and the receivers. Monero’s community upgrades its network often to remain ASIC resistant.
