How we check facts
Monero software and the rules around it change every few months. This is how we keep the articles right.
Where the information comes from
We work from primary sources first: getmonero.org, the monero-project repositories and release pages on GitHub, Monero Research Lab publications, each wallet's or service's own documentation, and the text of laws and regulator notices. News reports are used for events, and we name them. Forum posts tell us what people are asking. They are not treated as proof of anything.
What every article carries
- A list of sources at the end, so you can check each claim yourself.
- Two dates: when it was first published and when its facts were last checked.
- Version numbers and dates beside anything that will go stale, such as a release, a fee or a deadline.
- A plain statement when something is unknown. If a hard-fork date has not been announced, the article says so instead of guessing.
What we don't do
- We don't take payment to change what a guide recommends. Sponsored articles, if we ever run them, will be labelled at the top.
- We don't call any custodial service safe. We explain how it holds your coins and what can go wrong.
- We don't predict prices or give financial, legal or tax advice.
- We don't claim hands-on testing we haven't done or invent reviewer names.
Corrections
If you spot a mistake, email [email protected] with the article link and a source. We fix confirmed errors promptly and update the "facts checked" date. Changes that alter the meaning of an article are noted in the text.
Live figures
Prices come from CoinPaprika and chain data from xmrchain.net. Our server fetches both every five minutes, so your browser never contacts those services. The figures are an indication, not a quote.
