Last week, for the first time since launch of our #monero only wallet Monero.com, it has outpaced the installs of Cake Wallet (both still increased)

πŸš€http://Monero.com went up 30% πŸš€@cakewallet went up 10%.

Overall, we have never had a down month since launch in 2018!

Furthermore, Monero accounts for over 80% of the network bandwidth we host for our users.

Based on bandwidth alone and no other metrics (as we don’t capture any metrics) - it’s very possible we serve twice as many Monero users daily today than we did just 6 months ago.

I like the monero.com wallet, but it is starting to feel bloated. Its like 160MB to download and has a lot of features in it that feel--at least to me--like clutter. It also makes it a slow process to download or update it over tor. Monerujo is quite a bit smaller and with cake pay mobile gone the only feature Monerujo doesnt have that cake does is pay multiple parties in a single transaction and coin control.

Thanks for the feedback. Will look at ways to making it smaller. Thinking of offering a Monero.com "Dark" or something that is super light with no exchange or buy/sell features and only available on Fdroid and only works over Tor.

Nice but...bettet to Defaults to tor but can use proxy or clear as options, i2p for bonus points ;)

Anyone wants insane privacy should use a desktop wallet like redacted intended.

I agree with @shortwavesurfer@monero.town, what I need in a Monero wallet is good send/receive and maybe an optional fiat api. I feel like all the other online services might as well stay in Cake wallet with the "bloat" coins. I feel like most users that would rather use a Monero-only wallet over multi coin would agree with the sentiment.

Appreciate the work you do.

You can actually do all that in Monero.com today. Turn off fiat, turn off exchange, turn off buy/sell, turn on tor only to connect to onion nodes.

[–] vikrantnyc@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the kind words!

[–] vikrantnyc@monero.town 1 points 1 year ago

All those options are there today. Also the monero.com wallet is monero only.

[–] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 1 points 1 year ago (33 children)

Oh, that would be cool. No buy/sell, no exchange, no fiat API (in my opinion) and only on tor.

The one thing I would be curious about would be if it should be only able to connect to tor nodes or both tor and clearnet nodes. I have not figured out why yet, but accessing a clear net node via tor still syncs faster than using a tor node.

I recently installed it and thought the same, that it just feels very bloated, unfortunately
