What is Monero (XMR), a cryptocurrency
Monero is a cryptocurrency developed to enable fast transactions and to provide a high level of anonymity.
Also, the name Monero comes from Esperanto and means “coin.”
Esperanto is an artificial language devised by Dr. Ludoviko Zamenhof and collaborators.
There are said to be over 1 million Esperanto speakers worldwide.
In the past, Coincheck described Monero as follows:
Monero is a cryptocurrency (altcoin) whose name in Esperanto means “coin” or “hard currency.”
It is not based on Bitcoin’s source code, but uses an open-source Proof of Work (the method to authorize transfers) based on the CryptoNote protocol.
CryptoNote is characterized by focusing on anonymity and provides higher anonymity than Bitcoin.
Monero is based on the source code of a coin called “Bytecoin,” which adopted CryptoNote.
Monero addresses are generated from two private keys, an “viewing key” and a “spending key,” and are therefore very long.
The address acts like a master key, and each time a transaction is made, the master key generates a random one-time address.
When sending funds, the coins are sent to the one-time address, so even if a third party views the master key address, they cannot see the transaction history.
By exposing the “viewing” private key, you can publicly reveal the transaction history only.
