Interestingly, a project I have been tracking, called Monero, has an Esperanto-centric nomenclature for all of their projects, with Monero itself being the name for “coin”
- chillacy 9y agoA prominent wallet is called monerujo (ujo makes the word mean container of monero), and the plural form of monero is moneroj. Monero itself of course is mono + -ero, so something like particle of money, like breadcrumbs are to bread or a grain of sand is to the sand as a whole. I'm ashamed that I only recently discovered that was an intentional thing, though the name has caught a sliver of my interest for at least a year now.
- jameskegel 9y agoWell noted. There is another project that I'm fond of in the Monero ecosystem called 'Kovri', which means "to cover, veil, or wrap". It is a router that is i2p compatible, used to further obfuscate personal information for those who require more anonymity than the traditional transactional security of Monero. There may be others, as well.
- ringaroundthetx 9y agoHonestly this may contribute a lot more than it is given credit for Monero has touched a lot of people since 2014 Would this random tourist have noticed the Esperanto statue in Vienna? Their museum? A passing impression of Monero may be fueling this resurgance and international exposure
