<a href="https://cyphermarket.com" target="_blank"><img src="/img/cyphermarket-logo.png" alt="Cypher Market Logo" class="merchant-img" id="cyphermarket"></a>
Cypher Market is a business with a social vision, to experiment with new, sustainable, commerce-driven ways to support FOSS projects. They work with many FOSS projects (including various Monero workgroups) to sell merchandise and donate to them 50% of the profits. Find them at <a href="https://cyphermarket.com" target="_blank">cyphermarket.com</a>.
Check back next week for another merchant that accepts Monero for their goods and services.
