Regarding the third paragraph - "It is used in illicit activities such as money laundering, darknet markets, ransomware, cryptojacking, and other organized crime."
How aren't other cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies also used in illicit activities? 173.246.209.202 ( talk) 16:14, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

I request changing | block_reward = XMR 0.6
to | block_reward = XMR 0.6 ≥
Because Monero has dynamic block size, which makes block reward is not always 0.6, sometimes it can be less.
More detailed explanation of dynamic block size: https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/11283/can-someone-help-me-understand-the-dynamic-block-size-in-monero Throat0390 ( talk) 01:00, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
I have noticed a significant gap in the background information of the Monero article. Furthermore, there is a misrepresentation regarding its origins.
The current text states:
> "A Bitcointalk forum user "thankful_for_today" coded these ideas into a coin they dubbed BitMonero. Other forum users disagreed with thankful_for_today's direction for BitMonero, so forked it in 2014 to create Monero."
This wording is misleading as it suggests that BitMonero was an entirely new creation. In reality, BitMonero was a fork of Bytecoin, which was the first implementation of the CryptoNote protocol (sometimes referred to as one of the first, despite being created two years before any fork, three if you count development before genesis). The critical point is that BitMonero was not coded from scratch but was based on Bytecoin's codebase. Ztdwiki ( talk) 01:40, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

The following addition to the Mining section did not seem particularly relevant. It references a arbitrary point in time and over generalizes a specific yet anecdotal case. It also lacks any references. I have removed it, but would encourage more content regarding mining.
Mining is not very profitable at June 2024 prices. However, the consistency of the payouts for an XMR miner are clear. Examine the graphic, "Monero XMR Mining Profits", for an example of a five computer P2Pool cluster mining XMR with one of the machines hosting the full Monero blockchain and a mining pool daemon (P2Pool). These older consumer model systems are almost paying for their electrical needs in a quite predictable manner.
