Monero Merchant of the Week
AzireVPN was founded in 2012 with the mission to become a market-leading VPN service to help people avoiding censorship and interception on the Internet. Since then, the service has been continuously developed to keep up to date with the latest technologies and VPN protocols.They are Sweden-based, and support WireGuard, as well as being one of the few VPNs that do not require an email for sign up.
Also, for the first time ever on the Revuo, they have partnered with us to give Revuo readers access to an exclusive offer. Use the promo code "monero4life" to receive 20% off on the 1 and 3 month packages. Offer valid through the 1st of December, 2019.
Check back next week for another merchant that accepts Monero for their goods and services.Volunteer Opportunities
If you want to get involved in making Monero better, but aren’t sure how, check out the volunteer opportunities below.
If you know of any merchants or exchanges that are still using a long form payment ID, please let the community know so we can contact them and ask them to integrated addresses or subaddresses. Feel free to leave them in the comments of this Reddit thread.
Download I2P Zero for your machine, follow the direction in the README, and report any issues to the Issue tracker on GitHub, or IRC channel #i2p-zero.
Anyone with moderate technical ability is encouraged to try to build and run Monero nightlies. Do not trust it with your Monero, but feel free to open an Issue on Github as problems arise. Instructions to build on your OS of choice can be found on GitHub.
