+*Tread with caution*: An unknown entity has launched a LocalMonero's clone under the [localmonero.me](https://localmonero.me/) domain. When we reached out to Alex from original LocalMonero's website, he said: "Trademark infringement. Fake. Probably a scam. Nothing to do with us."

+Big shout out to all readers and generous supporters, last Kuno's [fundraiser](https://kuno.anne.media/fundraiser/kaib/) has met its goal. We've been just fixing some last quirks with the Jekyll/raw HTML-to-Hugo/Markdown/HTML migration for Revuo; as usual, you can check for yourself by going through the commit history in any of our git repositories listed at [source](https://www.revuo-xmr.com/source/) It was possible to start hosting [calc.revuo-xmr.com](https://calc.revuo-xmr.com/) and improve upon upstream code considerably. We are pretty content with the rebranding, backend code enhancements and the new tool, are you? Let us know!
