The process of using a computer to verify transactions on the Monero network. Mining helps keep the network safe, since it is unlikely that one person or group of people can control a large portion of the total mining power. Monero is mined using the RandomX algorithm, and it is mined with both CPUs and GPUs.
335 questions
A distributed ledger of all transactions both past and present, without revealing who the funds came from or went to.
236 questions
Service allowing Monero miners to pool resources in order to reduce the variance between discovering blocks. Reward are generally divided largely based on the contributed hashrate of each member of the pool, with some small percentage often being collected by the pool operator as a fee.

Questions regarding the information that is leaked through cryptocurrency transactions or related processes
176 questions
A Monero application used to provide programatic access (via an RPC interface) to Monero wallets.

New protocol designed by the Monero Research Labs combining ring signatures from CryptoNote with Confidential transactions. RingCT transactions are not only untraceable (ring signature) but also keep the transaction amount private (confidential transaction).

A 13 or 25 word phrase used to backup a monero account, available in a number of languages. This 25-word phrase (13 words in the case of MyMonero) has all the information needed to view and spend funds from a Monero account.

Popular web wallet and lightweight wallet. All cryptography is done locally on the users' devices, so the operators of MyMonero never have access to your private login key and are unable to spend your funds without your authorization. Beware of phishing websites using similar domains.
104 questions
A ring signature is a group of cryptographic signatures with at least one real participant, but there is no way to tell which in the group is the real one as they all appear valid, while the key image prevents double spends.

CryptoNote is an application layer protocol that powers several decentralized privacy oriented digital currencies including Monero
96 questions
Practice and study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of third parties called adversaries
93 questions
One of two sets of private and public cryptographic keys that each account has, with the private view key required to view all transactions related to the account.
89 questions
Fees paid by the sender to the miner as payment for confirmation of the transaction on the Monero network,
84 questions
Monero fork, either intentionally planned (like Aeon when launched) or created when more than one Monero chain continues to be mined following a hard fork.
84 questions
Secure method of storing Monero such that the private key remains "cold" or never connected to a "hot" wallet or Internet connected device. Cold-storage could include the use of a paper wallet or a hardware wallet to store the private keys
80 questions
Questions about the function, reason for, and underlying concepts of mining.
79 questions
number of blocks that are dependent on a given transaction. This includes the block containing that transaction and all blocks after it in the blockchain. The more confirmations a transaction has, the more likely is it that it will remain in the blockchain permanently.
77 questions
A Payment ID is an encrypted, arbitrary and optional transaction attachment that consists of 8 bytes.
A Payment ID is usually used to identify transactions to merchants and exchanges: Given the intrinsic privacy features built into Monero, where a single public address is often used for incoming transactions, a Payment ID is useful to tie incoming payments with user accounts.
76 questions
Questions about Monero addresses, including address types, usage, purpose and format

CryptoNight is a proof-of-work algorithm that mixes graphics processing unit (GPU) and central processing unit (CPU) mining to create a system resistant to both application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and fast memory-on-chip devices
