Two years ago I created MoneroOS, a plug and play live operating system that starts mining Monero on boot. Kind of like NiceHashOS but for Monero. You flash the OS to a USB drive, enter your mining settings, boot it up and start mining!

See the announcement thread from two years ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/s/geHQmPdE8y)

Life got busy and I couldn't keep up with development. Now I’ve got more time, and I’d love to rebuild it properly and add all the things I wanted to include from the start.

I created a CCS proposal to rebuild MoneroOS.

If you want to see MoneroOS revived and improved please upvote the proposal and leave a positive comment to show support. Every bit of community feedback helps!

Thank you for being a part of this journey, your support means a lot!

Hey everyone! June was another big month for us at CypherGoat. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to over the past few weeks:

We officially launched on i2p! You can now access our javascript free website at http://cjorx2hmv3jxs5sshxhw73nmkiayupim6gfye3sfts2pzmjgk5rq.b32.i2p

Based on your feedback, we’ve moved away from Cloudflare to make things even more private.

We faced a relatively big DDoS attack but had everything back up within minutes big thanks to our team! More info here

We’re now available for support via Simplex chat. Other contact options include Email, Signal and Telegram.

On the partnerships front, we’re excited to welcome three new exchanges to the family:

• PegasusSwap
• GoDex
• Xgram

Thank you all so much for the continued support. We’re just getting started!

Stay private, Stay free

As most of you probably know coinbase recently got hacked and personal information including customers ID's, phone numbers, emails, home addresses, balances and transaction histories are now in the hands of the hackers.

These attackers now know exactly how much crypto people hold and where they live.

This breach clearly shows the dangers of using KYC exchanges and why no-KYC might be the best solution.

I believe it is extremely important to have an archive of monero's source Incase something bad happens.

You can not call yourself a privacy project and rely on githubs good will!

That is why I have made this fundraiser to help me cover the electrity and maintenance costs for one year of (self)hosting. I hope you guys can understand how important this is and help me cover those costs by sending any amount of monero to the fundraising address.

For the people who missed it:

Monero os is a live linux system that starts mining monero on boot. It is inspired by nicehashOS but is completely free and open source.

After some time of developing MoneroOS. I finally implemented the most requested feature. P2Pool! I am currently looking for beta testers to find issues and report back. You can join our public matrix room if you are interested #moneroOS:matrix.org.
