Because of its privacy features. It's not a completely transparent ledger like Bitcoin and does a lot of obfuscation.

For example, if you have someone's public address only, you:

• don't know how much Monero that address has.
• can't see all of their transactions and details about those.

If someone gives you the view key for a certain transaction you can see its details like with any other crypto (useful for proving you paid for something).

I don't like that it's proof-of-work either but its impact is not big enough to be an environmental disaster like Bitcoin and Ethereum at the moment. It also doesn't encourage the miner behavior of big PoW cryptos because the developers made it ASIC resistant. That makes it consume less power as far as I can tell.

I personally haven't used crypto for speculation, just for payments or storing my money in stablecoins (developing country things).

I don't support the use case of crypto as a wild west stock market. And I do agree that it's quite impractical to use even for tech savvy people which isn't a good thing.

Intersting project indeed. Might be nice to have a complete list somewhere so you can simply scroll through it, organized by categories.

I've opened an issue on LibreTube a Piped YouTube client for Android (in beta) for them to accept XMR, they embrasse the idea and added XMR donations in the minute... litteraly, you might want to add them when you have time to do so.

Also, having a QR on your website is not ideal IMO, what if you or someone else hijack the Monero adress and steal the donations ? I don't want to check everytime, you should think about a better solution, maybe simply add the URL to their XMR donation link page/anchor ^^

Nice project will keep an eye on it ;)

I have no idea about monero and zcash. I like the Tezos Defi ecosystem and its governance.
