This means that nobody knows how much you're sending in a transaction except you. This ensures that your purchases and other transfers remain private by default." untraceable_text: "By taking advantage of @ring-signatures, Monero allows you to send and receive funds privately. Even though your transactions are publicly verifiable on the @blockchain, transactions use digital signatures that specify a group of signers such that the person verifying can’t tell which person actually produced the signature. Because it's ambiguous which funds have been spent, your transaction remains private and cannot be traced back to you." secure_text: "Monero uses a distributed peer-to-peer @consensus network and every transaction is cryptographically signed. Your coins are safely stored on the @blockchain and can be restored at any time with the use of a 25 word @mnemonic-seed on any computer with the Monero software. Wallet files are encrypted on disk and locked with a passphrase, rendering them useless if stolen." how_do_i_1: "How do I " how_do_i_2: " ?" get_started: get started get_started_1: "The fastest way to start using Monero is with a web @account manager such as " mymonero: "MyMonero" get_started_2: "." get_started_3: "Alternatively, if you would like to run a [full Monero node](/getting-started/running) you can download the client and a kick-starter @blockchain (to bring your local client up to speed) using the download link on the right." where_can_i: Where can I download_1: download download_2: " ?" different_os: "Need it for a different operating system?" all_downloads: View all available downloads here c_download: Download monero_for: Monero for latest_blockchain: Latest @Blockchain blog: title_1: All title_2: Blog title_3: Posts tagged: Tagged under author: Posted by date: Posted at forum: Click here to join the discussion for this entry on the Monero Forum tags: all: Articles by Tag notags: There are no posts for this tag.
