<h3 id="welcome">Welcome</h3>
<p>Hello everyone, and welcome to the third issue of the Monero Revuo. We pretty much dropped the ball on the 2018 quarterlies, but we’re picking it all back up with a 2019 first-half-year special. As always, we aim to give the community an update on the major developments from the primary workgroups in the Monero Project. This issue focuses on the Development, Research Lab, GUI, Community, third-party mobile, and Localization groups.</p>
<h3 id="development">Development Update</h3>
<p>Under the hood, Monero is a powerhouse of technology and code. Work on the code base is very versatile: it concerns maintaining the current code, fixing bugs, implementing innovations, etc. It is easy to get lost in all the developments of the past six months, but we’ll take a look at a few major development highlights, and what we may expect for the upcoming October protocol upgrade.</p>
<table class="hted-head">
<tbody><tr class="row1">
<th>Protocol Upgrade Summary</th>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p>On March 9, 2019, Monero had its scheduled upgrade on block 1788000. The scheduled network upgrade introduced four major changes. First, the dynamic block size algorithm was adjusted to better accommodate short-term spending sprees while keeping long-term growth sensible. Second, a PoW tweak (CryptoNight-R) curbed the ASICs previously present on the network. Third, an encrypted payment ID was added to each transaction to improve transaction homogeneity. Fourth, the development team simplified amount commitments by shrinking the size of amount encodings and using deterministic masks. These changes made transactions smaller and were deemed safe to apply by the Monero Research Lab. Since the update, several major focus areas have received attention.</p>
<h5>RandomX</h5>
<p>RandomX is a PoW algorithm that has been in the works for over a year, and is set to replace CryptonightR to provide further ASIC resistance. RandomX is designed to render ASICs non-competitive and be “CPU-centric.” The core of RandomX is the concept of randomized execution. To put it simply, the developers want to execute a series of random instructions to take advantage of a general-purpose CPU’s flexibility with dynamic code execution. RandomX is Monero’s best attempt yet to preserve its promise of accessible mining. RandomX has been audited by four firms: TrailOfBits, X41, Kudelski, and Quarkslab. <a href="https://github.com/hyc/RandomxAudits" target="_blank">Each of these are publicly viewable on GitHub</a>.</p>
<h5>Blockchain Pruning</h5>
<p>One of the issues blockchain is facing today concerns scalability. One such way to help solve this is through blockchain pruning, which means removing unnecessary data from the blockchain after verification. This significantly reduces the size on disk. Monero recently added blockchain pruning to its daemon software, which reduces disk use by about two-thirds. While it is best for users to run full nodes, pruned nodes nevertheless are much better than running nothing at all, and they still contribute significantly to the network.</p>
<h5>Deterministic (reproducible) builds</h5>
<p>The CLI release binaries can now be verified via the deterministic build process. That is, users can build a binary themselves and verify that the hash matches the hash of the release binary published on the website. This vastly reduces the risk of Monero contributors concealing hidden code in published binaries. <a href="https://github.com/monero-project/monero/tree/master/contrib/gitian#gitian-building" target="_blank">Instructions can be found on GitHub</a>.</p>
<h5>Tor/i2p integration</h5>
<p>Due to knaccc/jgrassie's efforts (et al.), the Monero CLI tools now has support for tor/i2p, with the GUI implementation soon to follow. There are still many challenges ahead before this can happen, however, such as coming up with an intuitive interface for the networking options, effortless switching between the present options, as well as deciding on the bundling options of the networking software.</p>
<table class="hted-head">
<tbody><tr class="row1">
<th>GUI Update</th>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p>Not only has the protocol changed, but a lot of work has been done on the Graphical User Interface (GUI) worked on by volunteers and stewarded by the Core Team. We summarize the major developments below, but there is an ongoing effort to make the Monero software as user-friendly as possible.
</p>
<p>The starting screens/startup wizards were rebuilt from scratch, with the most notable change being the inclusion of simple mode. This new startup option was created to get new users up and going as quickly as possible by utilizing a simplified UI and connecting to a remote node by default. The GUI also saw new screens, such as a merchant page, which allows the GUI to be used as a point-of-sale system, as well as support for multiple accounts (made possible by subaddresses).</p>
<p>Another major success was the added ability for users to utilize the GUI with their Trezor hardware wallets. The last major inclusion is the new white theme designed by knufflebund. Users are given the option of whether to use the standard black theme, or toggle it to a brighter alternative.</p>
<p>Aside from these major additions, there were tweaks and improvements to several other screens, such as the address book and history page, as well as dramatic performance improvements.</p>
<h3 id="mrl">Monero Research Lab Update</h3>
<p>Keeping up with advances in the space, original research, testing implementations of improvements, providing privacy recommendations, and being the front line of defense against attacks are all part of the seemingly simple job that the Monero Research Lab is tasked with: making sure Monero remains at the forefront of privacy and blockchain technologies. In this section, we take a look at what the beginning of 2019 brings us - this section is led by Mitchell P. Krawiec-Thayer.</p>
<h5>Conferences and Payment IDs</h5>
<p>Back in January 2019, Monero Research Lab and several developers attended the Stanford Blockchain Conference. This conference explores the use of formal methods, empirical analysis, and risk modeling to better understand security and systemic risk in blockchain protocols. The same month they’ve discovered patterns in Monero nonces, due to varying search strategies employed by different miners.</p>
<p>A lot of discussion took place around deprecating or eliminating Payment IDs, due to privacy impacts and confusing UX. After much discussion, wallets hid this feature for the April update, and most wallets will completely remove the feature in the October update. Exchanges, payment processors, and other services should upgrade to support Monero subaddresses as soon as possible, which offer greater privacy and a better user experience.</p>
<h5>All the algorithms</h5>
<p>In March, the developers team had a special <a href="https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/monero-site/blob/b87354501b6343f9146f331805ddadc45696f728/_posts/2019-03-24-logs-for-the-dev-meeting-held-on-2019-03-24.md" target="_blank">2.5 hour developer meeting</a> to discuss proof of work algorithms. The same month, a Boron Butterfly Upgrade was made ahead of schedule (v0.14) to address <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/aj21yt/big_bang_attack_on_xmr/" target="_blank">dynamic blocksize algorithm</a> and the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/agysnf/hashrate_discussion_thread/" target="_blank">suspected presence of ASICs</a> on the network. The PoW algorithm was tweaked to the <a href="https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/5126" target="_blank">CryptoNightR</a> variant with ASIC-incompatible random integer math. This caused a significant decrease in the <a href="https://www.coinwarz.com/network-hashrate-charts/monero-network-hashrate-chart" target="_blank">total hashrate</a> from approximately 1 GH/s to 200 MH/s. Developers also switched decoy selection algorithm to use the “output lineup” method.</p>
<h5>Ring Signature Optimizations and Replacement Candidates</h5>
<p>A lot of work has been performed by the Research Lab team in researching several new ring signature alternatives. These schemes include the likes of: <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/550" target="_blank">Spartan</a>, <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/508" target="_blank">RingCT3.0</a>, and <a href="https://lelantus.io/lelantus.pdf" target="_blank">Lelantus</a>. They have shared an analysis of Lelantus, including prototype code for Monero-to-Lelantus output migration, and plan on reviewing <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/580.pdf" target="_blank">Omniring</a> next, which would massively improve Monero’s privacy.</p>
<p>In addition to these reviews from external sources, MRL has been working up schemes of their own, which include the likes of <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/595" target="_blank">DLSAG</a> and CLSAG. DLSAG would enable non-interactive refund transactions for interoperable payment channels which would, in turn, enable second-layer solutions on Monero such as Lightning Network and atomic swaps. CLSAG (compact linkable spontaneous anonymous group) is a similar ring signature scheme to what is presently used, but is ~25% smaller and ~20% faster to verify transactions, all as a low-impact change.</p>
<h3 id="community">Community Update</h3>
<p>The Monero community is global, diverse, and full of initiative. It would be impossible to recount everything done by every member of the community for the betterment of the Monero Project, so we will just highlight a few things here. The Monero Project would like to extend a huge “Thank You!” to every contributing member of the Monero community. This section will cover activity from the Monero Community Workgroup, as well as other, external happenings of Monero in the wider world.</p>
<table class="hted-head">
<tbody><tr class="row1">
<th>Breaking Monero & Coffee Chats</th>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p> Justin 'sgp' Ehrenhofer and Diego ‘rehrar’ Salazar hold the Monero Coffee Chat every four weeks. Here, the community contributors join a livestreamed conversation to discuss the development, community projects, and events which have happened since the last Coffee Chat. They are available for viewing on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKxLNPJeEjPXOke55i5AIXA" target="_blank">Monero Community Workgroup Youtube channel</a>, and they are excellent resources for getting a summary of the month’s activities and discussions.</p>
<p>In December, a video program “Breaking Monero” was introduced. It helps newbies to understand the weaknesses and flaws of Monero. While this might seem like a strange goal on the surface, it’s important to remember that only by highlighting and discussing these flaws can we hope to overcome them, both technologically and as a community. So far, the topics covered include: a ring signatures introduction, 0-decoy and chain reactions, chain splits (key image reuse attack), input selection algorithm, unusual ringsize, remote nodes, timing attacks, poisoned outputs (EAE attack), public mining pools, input/output metadata, and blockchain explorer opsec. These are also available for viewing on the Monero Community Workgroup YouTube channel. Moreover, there is other good news: <a href="https://www.monerooutreach.org/breaking-monero/" target="_blank">Breaking Monero series is fully transcripted by the Outreach workgroup</a>.</p>
<table class="hted-head">
<tbody><tr class="row1">
<th>Monero Talks</th>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p>Another YouTube program which has sprouted since our last issue is Monero Talk is “Monero Talk”. Led by Doug and Sunita, and based in NYC, this channel has quickly become a staple in the community for interviewing various people of interest, both involved in Monero and otherwise. They’ve also been a part of providing coverage in various conferences where Monero has had a presence. A sampling of topics and guests for the last six months include:</p>
<ul>
<li>"OpenBazaar & Monero a shared ethos w/ Brian Hoffman and Co”</li>
<li>"Italian government to test a Monero based online voting system with Vincenzo Di Nicola, Calogero Mandracchia & Raffaele Nicodemo"</li>
<li>"Is Monero digital cash? w/ Riccardo Spagni aka Fluffypony"</li>

</tbody></table>
<p>On June 22-23, Brandon “suraeNoether” Goodell held a Monero Konferenco in Dever, Colorado. The two days were jam-packed with quality talks, content, and networking. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsSYUeVwrHBkJHJg_l2uDgbicDJ1PmAVW" target="_blank">All talks can be viewed on the designated playlist of the Monero Community youtube channel</a>.</p>
<p>The electronic version of <a href="https://masteringmonero.com/" target="_blank">Mastering Monero</a> was released, and freely accessible to all (although a donation is recommended). It is a comprehensive guide on the world of Monero, progressing from a beginner’s introduction all the way to the privacy tech, and details of development.</p>
<p>The beloved Forum Funding System has finally retired (may the spam rest in peace), and has been replaced by the Community Crowdfunding System (CCS), which can be viewed at <a href="https://ccs.getmonero.org" target="_blank">ccs.getmonero.org</a>. Feel free to join, comment, discuss, and donate to proposals.</p>
<h3 id="translations">Monero Localization Update</h3>
<p>The Monero Localization Workgroup formed at the end of 2017 with the goal of translating Monero's community maintained materials. In the reviewed period, ErCiccione has led the localization team to translate Monerujo in Ukrainian, Esperanto, Catalan and Serbian. Check out the <a href="https://taiga.getmonero.org/project/erciccione-monero-localization/epic/162" target="_blank">list of available languages</a>, click on the one you speak and check if there is a task labelled "Needed". If there is none: good news, that language is updated and you can just help translating something else. If you find a Needed task, take a look at the very short <a href="https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-translations/blob/master/translate-monerujo.md" target="_blank">step-by-step guide to add a new translation</a>.</p>
<p>Getmonero.org is now available in German, Russian, Turkish, and Chinese, and the GUI wallet has been translated into 9 new languages: Kurdish, Bengali, Persian, Irish, Urdu, Zulu, Greek, Nepali, Esperanto and Hindi. Just take a look at the <a href="https://translate.getmonero.org/projects/monero-gui/" target="_blank">list of languages available</a> and start translating the missing phrases/words of the language you speak. Once again, a short <a href="https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-translations/blob/master/pootle.md" target="_blank">step-by-step guide with screenshots</a> is provided, which explains how to add a translation and how to review one. Be sure to give it a look!</p>
<h3 id="mobile">Third-Party Mobile Update</h3>
<p>The Monero ecosystem has several third-party wallets, and it would be a heavy task for the Revuo to report on all of them. That said, there are a few mobile wallets that have etched their way into the hearts and minds of the community, in large part due to their initiative and significant continued investment in Monero’s ecosystem. We will focus on Monerujo, Cake Wallet, and MyMonero in this issue.</p>
<table class="hted-head">
<tbody><tr class="row1">
<th>Monerujo</th>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p><a href="https://monerujo.io" target="_blank">Monerujo’s</a> efforts are led by m2049r. There were two releases in this time period, with many interesting and necessary features such as the “Node-omatiC” feature, which allows users to automatically scan the network for high quality remote nodes, as well as Street Mode to hide your Monero balances while in public.</p>
<p>Not content with just working on the premiere Android wallet however, the Monerujo team has released several noob friendly articles (with illustrations!) to gently explain how some of the more advanced or confusing areas of Monero’s technology works. You can read these articles <a href="https://medium.com/@anhdres" target="_blank">on the Medium account of Monerujo team member anhdres</a>.</p>
<table class="hted-head">
<tbody><tr class="row1">
<th>Cake Wallet</th>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p><a href="https://cakewallet.io" target="_blank">Cake Wallet</a> was founded by Vikrant Sharma, who moved to Monero after realizing Bitcoin’s lack of privacy, and understanding it could no longer meet his cryptocurrency needs. At the time, there was no available wallet for iOS, and so he decided to solve that problem, not just for himself, but for the community as a whole.</p>
<p>The largest features that went live in Cake Wallet were the complete redesign of the app as well as utilizing subaddresses for separate “Accounts” to be set by the user.</p>
<p>One of the features that Cake Wallet boasts is the ability to exchange cryptocurrencies from within the app, utilizing third party services such as XMR.to and MorphToken. The aforementioned release also added ChangeNow to this list as well, so users can shop around for the best rates from within the app.</p>
<table class="hted-head">
<tbody><tr class="row1">
<th>MyMonero</th>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p><a href="https://mymonero.com" target="_blank">MyMonero</a> has been a staple in the Monero community for many years. Starting as a simple and easy-to-use web wallet, they have built and open sourced an underlying infrastructure for light wallets, as well as maintain a Javascript implementation of the Monero protocol.</p>
<p>Early in the year, the MyMonero team launched their long-awaited new apps for Desktop followed by iOS, as well as a new, related website and redesigned web wallet.</p>
<p>Despite these big achievements, the team was not content. They realized a large problem, common to all web wallets, and indeed websites as a whole, needed to be solved in order for users to feel truly safe when using browser based cryptocurrency wallets: compromised web resources (HTML,CSS, Javascript) leading to stolen funds.</p>
<p>After deliberation, building, and iterating, the MyMonero team revealed the end result at the Magical Crypto Con: <a href="https://securebrowse.gitlab.io/securebrowse/" target="_blank">SecureBrowse</a>, a security protocol that utilizes the existing DNS infrastructure to hash and sign their client-side resources for easy verification.

<h3 id="welcome">Welcome</h3>
<p>Hello everyone and welcome to the fourth Monero periodical. In this issue we summarize the major developments of Monero from July 1st to December 31st of 2019. It’s been another amazing half year, and we feel it’s important to celebrate our accomplishments as a community. So without further ado...</p>
<h3 id="coreteamupdate">Core Team & Structural Updates</h3>
<p>First and foremost, we’d like to start this issue with the significant updates to some of Monero’s internal community structures outlined in a post on the <a href="https://web.getmonero.org/" target="_blank">getmonero.org</a> website on December 16, 2019.</p>
<p>The highlights of the post include fluffypony stepping down as lead maintainer of the Monero CLI software. He is replaced by Monero community member Snipa, though fluffypony will continue to be a backup maintainer. As well fluffypony is also stepping down as primary software builder and signer, replaced by various community members for different software. Lastly, there are some minor adjustments to who controls and has access to things like website and download servers as well as the General Fund. <a href="https://web.getmonero.org/2019/12/16/technical-responsibilities-update.html" target="_blank">Anyone is free to read the post for more details</a>.</p>
<h3 id="development">Development Update</h3>
<h5>Protocol Upgrade</h5>
<p>On November 30th, Monero successfully had its scheduled hard fork.</p>
<p>One of the most important features of the v0.15 is the implementation of the RandomX PoW algorithm. Mainly designed to eliminate the efficiency advantage of ASIC miners over consumer grade hardware, this new feature is set to keep processor mining more competitive. Accordingly, it ensures a better decentralization of the Monero network.</p>
<p>The Carbon Chamaeleon release also phased out long payment IDs, which helps to increase privacy and improve user experience. As a result, it drastically minimizes support tasks related to trading platforms and other services.</p>
<p>Last but not least is the protocol enforcement set to improve privacy for the users and the Monero network. Since the update, there is a requirement for a minimum of two outputs for transactions and ten-block lock time for incoming transactions.</p>
<h5>GUI Update</h5>
<p>The Monero GUI (Graphical User Interface) has undergone several changes and improvements over the second half-year period.</p>
<p>Picking up on the goal to make the Monero software as user-friendly as possible, the v0.15.0.0 release of the GUI offers more user-friendliness and performance improvement features. This is achieved all thanks to the hard work of volunteers and contributors.</p>
<p>Below are the major changes that were made over the past few months:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tails: Better support and blank screen on startup fix;</li>
<li>Trezor: Address is now shown on Trezor devices, and support on Linux fix;</li>
<li>The Transaction History page was improved;</li>
<li>Introduction of a Titlebar: wallet name and new icons;</li>
<li>Introduction of a SimpleMode: automatic public nodes discovering and switching;</li>
<li>The left panel and the sidebar menu have a new design;</li>
<li>New blur background effect;</li>
<li>Basic right-click context menu;</li>
<li>Fix update notification hash;</li>
<li>Persistent subaddress account selection;</li>
<li>Various UI/UX improvements;</li>
<li>Bug fixes, crash fixes, and performance improvements.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="mrl">Monero Research Lab Update</h3>
<p>Since its creation, the Monero Research Lab has been contributing not only to Monero but the largest cryptography sphere and blockchain technology.</p>
<p>The MRL team constantly pushes the limits of transactions' confidentiality and security to keep Monero at the forefront of truly private, fungible and untraceable digital transactions.</p>
<p>In this section, we will take a look at the innovative research conducted by the MRL for the betterment of Monero and its privacy features.</p>
<h5>Triptych</h5>
<p>The MRL has been working on Triptych, a new linkable ring signature, based on earlier work by Groth and Kohlweiss and Bootle et al.</p>
<p>The preprint published on January 6th, 2020, laid down important theoretical foundations for enhancing Monero’s privacy and scalability.</p>
<p>The new scheme proposes a trustless logarithmic-size ring signature as an alternative to the current <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/1098" target="_blank">MLSAG</a> (Multilayer Linkable Spontaneous Anonymous Group Signatures) system.</p>
<p>The main innovation of Triptych is that the byte size of the ring signature could be scaled logarithmically with the number of decoys, rather than linearly, whereas the verification time remains linear. This would allow Monero's ring size to increase significantly without major performance problems. Thus, a transaction using a 512-ring would be processed in an average verification time of 45 milliseconds (including range proof-verification).</p>
<p>This represents a breakthrough compared to competitive solutions of the same type, which take an average of 100 milliseconds to process a transaction using a 128-ring.</p>
<p>The technology is still in the research phase. Other solutions are currently being considered by the Monero Research Lab, including <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/508" target="_blank">RingCT 3.0</a>, <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/654" target="_blank">CLSAG</a> , <a href="https://lelantus.io/lelantus.pdf" target="_blank">Lelantus</a> and <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/580.pdf" target="_blank">Omniring</a>.</p>

</tbody></table>
<p>The Monero Ecosystem’s goal is to gather all the community members’ relevant repositories in one place. Accordingly, finding useful Monero related projects, documents, resources, and tools have never been easier.</p>
<p>Below is a sample of the projects that joined the Monero Ecosystem in the past six months:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://xmrnotify.com/" target="_blank">MoneroNotify</a>: u/Monerobby has created a paid service for users to be notified of incoming transactions to their view-only wallets.</li>
<li>Moneromooo has released a new <a href="https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/monero-update" target="_blank">Monero Updater software</a>, that would automatically check, verify, and download the correct version of Monero for your platform.</li>
<li>Github user dan-da has made a <a href="https://github.com/dan-da/subaddress-derive-xmr" target="_blank">CLI utility that allows for offline Monero address generation</a>, as well as subsequent subaddress generation, without the need for core Monero software installation.</li>
<li>Community members Rottensox and Anhdres (from Monerujo) have started a Spanish podcast about Monero. <a href="https://anchor.fm/elmonero/episodes/1-El-Hack-e97q4f/a-a1367he" target="_blank"></a> Available on Anchor.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-python/releases/tag/v0.6.2" target="_blank">Monero Python Module 0.62</a> has been released, with optimized ed25519 code, leading to about 100x faster subaddress generation and seed operations.</li>
<li>A <a href="https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/telegram-monerotipbot" target="_blank">Monero Tip Bot for Telegram</a> has joined the ecosystem.</li>
<li>An <a href="https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/go-xmrto-client" target="_blank"></a>XMRr.to client written in Go was added to the Monero Ecosystem.</li>
<li>u/fullmetalscience has opened up their domain <a href="https://xmr.id/" target="_blank">xmr.id</a> for the public to register their OpenAlias accounts on.</li>
<li>Tevador, the principal author of RandomX, has created a <a href="https://github.com/tevador/randomx-sniffer" target="_blank">RandomX Sniffer tool</a> to help users detect if RandomX is running on their computer.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that all the repositories in the Monero Ecosystem are maintained by community members and not by the Monero Core Team. Thus, we encourage everyone to do their own research before using any projects stored in these repositories.</p>
<table class="hted-head">
<tbody><tr class="row1">
<th>Monero Coffee Chat & Monero Talk</th>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p>Once a month, Justin Ehrenhofer and Diego Salazar host the Monero Coffee Chat, during which developers, researchers, and community members join a live conversation stream to discuss the latest Monero related news, development, ongoing projects and events that have occurred.</p>
<p>The Coffee Chat recordings are an excellent way to keep up with everything Monero related on a monthly basis. You can view them on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKxLNPJeEjPXOke55i5AIXA" target="_blank">Monero Community Workgroup Youtube channel</a>.</p>
<p>During the past six months, the Monero Talk has conducted several in-depth interviews with people of interest about Monero related topics and development, but not only. Below is a sample of interviewees and topics discussed:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://youtu.be/UgqYeVbeCjA" target="_blank">Snipa's interview as the new main lead maintainer of Monero</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://youtu.be/pa0RlyH92Ns" target="_blank">C3 interviews with Riccardo “fluffypony” Spagni and Joel Gugger</a>.</li>

<th>International Community Events</th>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p>Monero had a major presence at both DEFCON in August, and 36C3 in December.</p>
<p>DEFCON saw fit to bring Monero back with its own village, and this year we had more space to play around with. The community funded more equipment (which can be used in subsequent years) and sponsored several volunteers to go to Las Vegas, where we were able to host talks, workshops, give out swag, and sell merchandise. All who took part thought that the Monero Village was a great success. You can view the speeches given on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9fPq3eQfaaBiCOF12ZYejtj21sI1jm0I" target="_blank">DEFCON’s Youtube channel playlist</a>.</p>
<p>The Chaos Communication Congress (C3) was held in Leipzig for the 36th year, and the Monero community once again joined forces with our friends from RIAT to host the Critical Decentralisation Cluster (CDC), which itself hosted several other privacy and FOSS focused assemblies. The entirety of the CDC was funded by Monero’s CCS, and only made possible by these donations. We had our own stage, and held talks and workshops, and worked on cementing ourselves into becoming a staple in the C3 ecosystem. All talks were streamed and recorded and can be <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsSYUeVwrHBn07zTBg7fGHRW5Kn_Z3FJL" target="_blank">found on the Monero Community youtube channel</a>.</p>
<p>DEFCON is the biggest hacker convention in the world, and C3 is the biggest one in Europe. Monero’s presence at both, for the second year in a row, especially when other projects are turned away, show its decentralized, hacker roots, and commitment to its grassroots ideals, and exposes Monero to the right audience. These two events, along with Monero’s Konferenco reported on in the last Revuo show the project as a budding force in both the privacy and FOSS worlds.</p>
<h3 id="translations">Monero Outreach & Monero Localization Update</h3>
<p>The Monero Outreach has been keeping up the good work of promoting Monero worldwide, through original content. Several guides, articles, designs, talk transcriptions, and other resources are available to view on their <a href="https://www.monerooutreach.org/" target="_blank">website</a>.</p>
<p>These promotional materials have been translated into different languages with the help of the Localization workgroup led by ErCiccione. Also, the workgroup has, for the sake of practicality, moved from Pootle to Weblate.</p>
<h3 id="mobile">Third-Party Apps & Services Update</h3>
<p>Monero counts numerous third-party applications and services, each tailored to a specific need. In this section, we will focus on the most used ones that community members consider most trustworthy.</p>
<h5>Cake Wallet</h5>
<p><a href="https://cakewallet.io" target="_blank">Cake Wallet</a> hit a new milestone in its journey of offering the Monero community with a safe light wallet to store their XMR; The App has reached over 20,000 unique downloads on the App Store. The open-source Monero wallet for iOS is now also available for Android devices.</p>
<h5>Monerujo</h5>
<p><a href="https://monerujo.io" target="_blank">Monerujo</a> has also had its share of improvements. The Android Wallet for Monero now supports currency conversion for BTC payments using kraken + ECB rates and xmr.to payments with subaddresses. Other features include the possibility to scan only for v0.15 nodes and UI improvements.</p>
<h5>XMR.to</h5>
<p>To make privately exchanging Monero to Bitcoin even more convenient, <a href="https://xmr.to/" target="_blank">XMR.to</a> has introduced some new features which include the possibility to specify an amount directly in XMR, and the ability to complete an incomplete order in one click. You can also check their Monero network map for more information about the distribution of Monero nodes across the world, their protocol version and more.</p>
<h5>Local Monero / AgoraDesk</h5>
<p>The team behind <a href="https://localmonero.co">LocalMonero.co</a> launched <a href="https://agoradesk.com">AgoraDesk</a>, the world's first P2P OTC cryptocurrency options exchange. They support XMR and BTC contracts, as well as generally adding Bitcoin to their typical local OTC acquisitions platform with the launch of the product. As usual there is no KYC/AML or other verification performed to use the site and their services.</p>

<h3 id="welcome">Welcome</h3>
<p>Hello everyone and welcome to the fifth Monero periodical. In this issue we summarize the major developments of Monero in 2020. It’s been another amazing year, and we feel it’s important to celebrate our accomplishments as a community. Please note this list is not comprehensive, and there were many other things accomplished. These are just what we consider the highlights. So without further ado...</p>
<h3 id="coreteamupdate">Core Team & Structural Updates</h3>
<p>In September, Justin "sgp" Ehrenhofer and dEBRUYNE <a href="https://www.getmonero.org/2020/09/01/note-scheduled-upgrades.html" target="_blank">distributed a note about Monero scheduled protocol upgrades</a>. In Monero’s early years, required protocol upgrades occurred approximately every six months. Now that Monero is a larger project with more exchanges and wallets, this frequent upgrade schedule is more straining. Thus, Monero required protocol upgrades are now expected to occur approximately every nine to twelve months. This will allow for Monero to continue upgrading to the latest and greatest technology at a rapid pace while acknowledging the importance of ecosystem stability.</p>
<p>These future protocol upgrades will *not* include mining algorithm changes. RandomX, first implemented in November 2019, remains the CPU-friendly mining algorithm. It will remain this way unless ASICs pose a significant threat to the Monero network and widely push out CPU miners. However, RandomX’s success to date at limiting ASICs on the Monero network seems to be meeting expectations over a year later.</p>
<h3 id="development">Development Update</h3>
<a href="" target="_blank"></a>
<p>Monero had two major updates in 2020 (0.16 and 0.17) and a slew of minor point release updates following 0.17.</p>
<p>Monero 0.16 “Nitrogen Nebula” was the first ever major Monero release version that did not require a protocol upgrade. This version most importantly brought Dandelion++, a more private transaction broadcast method.</p>
<p>Monero 0.17 “Oxygen Orion” required a protocol upgrade and introduced CLSAGs. CLSAGs are a more efficient ring signature construction that reduce transaction size by about 25% and verification time by about 10%. <a href="https://www.getmonero.org/2020/07/31/clsag-audit.html" target="_blank">The CLSAG code implementation was audited by JP Aumasson and Antony Vennard</a>.</p>
<p>Following the 0.17 protocol upgrade, attackers performed a series of attacks targeting Dandelion++. This resulted in an enormous amount of developer work put into further hardening the Dandelion++ transaction propagation system. These network attacks have been largely mitigated, and no Monero was ever at risk.</p>
<h3 id="mrl">Monero Research Lab Update</h3>
<p>To start the year, Justin Ehrenhofer and Dr. Sarang Noether <a href="https://web.getmonero.org/2020/01/17/auditability.html" target="_blank">released a popular blog post explaining the nuances of supply auditability</a>. This explains the specific risks associated with select tradeoffs. Riccardo “fluffypony” Spagni later also spoke on this topic, further diving into the damages that even a detectable inflation bug would have on Bitcoin if it occurred today.</p>
<p>Sarang Noether <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/312, https://web.getmonero.org/2020/08/22/triptych.html" target="_blank">released a preprint of the Triptych-2 paper</a>: efficient proofs for confidential transactions.</p>
<p>koe, Kurt M. Alonso, and Dr. Sarang Noether <a href="https://web.getmonero.org/library/Zero-to-Monero-2-0-0.pdf" target="_blank">released the second edition of Zero to Monero</a>. Zero to Monero is one of the leading resources that describes the Monero protocol.</p>
<p>MAGIC Grants started a <a href="https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/dr-sarang-noether-to-implement-bulletproofs-in-monero" target="_blank">community crowdfunding campaign to hire Dr. Sarang Noether to work on Bulletproofs+ for Monero</a>. The campaign was successful and is one of the largest Monero community project raises outside of the Community Crowdfunding System (CCS). Monero community members donated to a CCS campaign to hire auditors of Bulletproofs+, with a second audit expected to begin shortly.</p>
<p>Lastly, Monero community member h4sh3d and a small team of developers had <a href="https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/h4sh3d-atomic-swap-research.html" target="_blank">funded the research phase of Bitcoin-Monero Atomic Swaps</a>. The research proved successful, and they <a href="https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/h4sh3d-atomic-swap-implementation.html" target="_blank">opened a second CCS that is now in progress for the implementation</a>. We expect to see this effort fully materialize in late 2021.</p>
<h3 id="community">Community Update</h3>
<p>Diego “rehrar” Salazar released a sticker pack for Isabella the Monero girl. It is available on <a href="https://t.me/addstickers/MoneroGirl" target="_blank">Telegram</a>, <a href="https://signal.art/addstickers/#pack_id=c7ddbbfc53c6d4a93fb9947626b8747b&pack_key=ac2999ee373b058fec9e41f1d7f6b4bc949815cc89f8868b1ab48615ca919c5f" target="_blank">Signal</a> and Matrix. It is one of the default <a href="https://matrix.org/blog/2020/03/13/this-week-in-matrix-2020-03-13#final-thoughts-" target="_blank">Element (Matrix)</a> sticker packs!</p>
<p>Several members of the Monero community created a documentary feature film about Monero that was the #1 film in the United States box office for two days. The film primarily features Dr. Daniel Kim and a presentation that he gave at the 36c3 conference. The novelty of the success garnered the film fame, including articles in several publications including Vice. It is one of the most-watched Monero videos to date. <a href="https://youtu.be/8quGD9W7B2I" target="_blank">Monero Means Money is available for free on YouTube</a>.</p>
<p>Every year on April 18, Monero celebrates its “Moneroversary.” For 2020, this virtual event featured <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YigNWkXJk48" target="_blank">a deep dive into Monero’s history, a coffee chat, a game of trivia, and a meme contest</a>.</p>
<p>As before, the Monero Village <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsSYUeVwrHBn43BwoeplKKdJDFJFGH-9_" target="_blank">participated at DEFCON 28</a>, though of course the virtual event was very different than years prior. Monero remained the only cryptocurrency community with its own dedicated village. The Monero Village also participated in the Grayhat cybersecurity conference for the first time.</p>

<h3 id="monerospace">Monero Space Update</h3>
<p>In August, two Monero Community Workgroup organizers stepped down and started a separate workgroup called Monero Space. Monero Space is an active workgroup that is focused on projects and community infrastructure.</p>
<p><a href="https://youtu.be/w5rtd3md11g" target="_blank">Their new video content</a> includes interviews with Samourai Wallet, nothingmuch speaking about Wasabi Wallet, and Dave Jevans of CipherTrace. The Monero Coffee Chats, which were previously held approximately every four weeks for the past three years, are now organized by Monero Space under the new name Monero Meet. Monero Meets still air approximately every four weeks and cover largely the same topics.</p>
<p>Monero Space began offering community infrastructure, <a href="https://forum.monero.space" target="_blank">including a Flarum forum and a Nextcloud</a>.</p>
<h3 id="mobile">Third-Party Apps & Services Update</h3>
<p>Monero counts numerous third-party applications and services, each tailored to a specific need. In this section, we will focus on the most used ones that community members consider most trustworthy.</p>
<h5>Feather Wallet</h5>
<p>Several developers in the community released a new wallet called <a href="https://featherwallet.org" target="_blank">Feather Wallet</a>, which is still in beta. It features an Electrum-style user interface and several features not available in the official Monero GUI.</p>
<h5>Cake Wallet</h5>
<p><a href="https://cakewallet.io" target="_blank">Cake Wallet</a> released their wallet for android in early 2020. It previously was only released on iOS. They’ve also redesigned their wallet to be even more user friendly.</p>
<h5>Monerujo</h5>
<p><a href="https://monerujo.io" target="_blank">Monerujo</a> revamped their user experience in October and improved their node selection and management process.</p>
