"Dear sirs,
Monero is on its way to becoming the #10 coin in the Coinmarketcap list. For me it is the #2 coin already, since apart from Bitcoin, it is the only coin that I have ever bought. When thinking about the community, I have been getting the feeling that it is already, or at least soon becoming the second-strongest coin by the quality of members. It is astonishing how many of the most astute people in this forum own Monero, even though they hold very few altcoins in general.
The coin has had absolutely no premine, instamine or ninjamine. It is still only about 11% mined, and most of this time it has been listed in an exchange. Never was there an opportunity to - even legitimately - mine huge stashes of the coin. The developers have not had any frontrun. Now as it is clear that the community is waiting for them to deliver several things that cost money, it is easily forgotten that the
Monero devs do not have the luxury of premine that all the other altcoins can tap into. They are working for free, and paying the costs out of pocket.
Brothers, this can not continue!
This thread's purpose is twofold:
- To raise money for XMR development;
- To publish to the cryptoworld the extent of XMR adoption.
By donating moneros to the development fund, you will be listed here. The names listed will inspire awe in all the other coin owners, as they see that the Monero community consists of the top talent of cryptoworld.

There are no large holders, who could bear the burden alone. Everybody is invited to join. I suggest that if you own XMR and read this, you would join the list by donating an amount that is approximately 1% of your XMR stash, or less since you can donate more later. Then reply to the thread with the amount and I will list you under the appropriate category.
I hope the devs and hero members would soon come up with the practicalities, concerning:
- Full disclosure of the use of funds;
- What to do if the fund's value grows disproportionately so that it is threatening the development more than helping it.
