## Receiving monero
If you have your own Monero address, you just need to give your standard address to someone.
Since Monero is anonymous, you won't see what address sent anything you receive. If you want to

gets attached to a transaction. To make life easier, you can generate an address that already

as you can't tell who sent it, and who received it. However, by supplying the per-transaction
private key to a party, that party can tell whether that transaction sent monero to that
particular address. Note that storing these per-transaction keys is disabled by default, and
you will have to enable it before sending, if you think you may need it:
