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)
🚀http://Monero.com went up 30% 🚀@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.
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.
Thanks for the kind words!
All those options are there today. Also the monero.com wallet is monero only.
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.
This would be dope
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.

Try Anonero I’m sure you will like it
I am already playing with anonero. It is a good project to keep an eye on, but it needs some work.

Absolutely true
I have no idea who is behind it, so i won’t touch it.
I can understand that, but it is open source and you can see the code, but I am also playing with it on a very, very small wallet, that if it were to get drained, would not be a serious issue for me.
Agreed
Will make our own.
💩
Can’t wait to see the T&C of your “dark” wallet lol
deleted by creator
No need to wait! You can do all that now.

Yeah you can do all that on Monero.com already. You can turn off all those things and connect to tor only. Plus it has coin control and batch sending. So Monero.com is far superior.

You can wait for “💩🍰cypherpunk🍰💩” wallet Wannabe or use ANONERO today Visit anonero.io on a Tor browser and enjoy
Yep. I have been messing with it, but it needs talkback labels, unscramble PIN (or fingerprint access), and account support at least before i could use it on the daily.
You don’t have to wait. You can doo all those things and more in cake and Monero com wallets now, moron.
copy? we have already done it. we already do all those things. You are really stupid huh?
You can do it already. idiot.
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.
I recently installed it and thought the same, that it just feels very bloated, unfortunately
