Share this press release with any media contacts you may have

Blockchain, Aug. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ Monero joins Bitcoin and Ethereum as the 3rd blockchain based currency or consensus network on Stack Exchange. Stack Exchange is the largest network of websites for software developers and users to find, ask, and answer their technical questions. Stack Overflow alone serves tens of millions professional and novice programmers each month. The entire Stack Exchange Network has expanded to cover 150+ topics including Cryptography, Economics, Open Source and Project Management.

Monero is a crypto currency that is not based on the Bitcoin codebase and seeks to be the leader in privacy, security, and scalability. All Monero transactions are cryptographically untraceable and unlinkable, and there is no separate "clear" token. This enables end users to trust Monero as a private store of value and as a medium of exchange that is impervious to blockchain analysis or miner censorship.

Developers building privacy-aware or privacy-centric applications will benefit from Monero's private-by-default approach and will appreciate the small and simple metadata storage area (tx_extra) available in every transaction. Additionally, they will benefit from the standard and uncomplicated cryptography based on Daniel J. Bernstein's Curve25519 EC curve as well as EdDSA signatures.

Those building pegged off-chain or sidechain systems needn't worry about on-chain limitations, as Monero's dynamic block size algorithm grows and shrinks the block size limit based on the on-chain demand. Peg as much back to the Monero blockchain as you need!

Monero Stack Exchange is a community-run question and answer site for developers and users of the secure, private and untraceable cryptocurrency Monero. Experts available to answer questions will include PhD mathematicians from Monero Research Lab and many of the developers who have directly contributed to the Monero source-code repository.

i apologize, my original suggestion was confusing. It was just to run an i2p node.. not a monero node through i2p. The first is easy and helps increase the speed and privacy of the i2p network, the second is kinda convoluted and doesn't really do much of anything for anybody at the current moment.

easy instructions found here:
https://geti2p.net/en/

Perhaps I missed it but is there a tutorial/how-to that explains step by step how to do this ^ ??

Also if there is any pitfalls or things to note to successfully run a monero node with i2p.

I don't like to pretend to know much so I like it when I can have things ELI5. 

Monero is 97% of the way to goal. Please remember help the I2P and Esperanto communities. We will grow together.

6. Make a Commitment to the Monero, I2P and Esperanto Stack Exchange proposals:
https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/98617/monero
https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/99297/i2p
https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/95499/esperanto

Some more attention to #2 and #6 from OP would be very helpful right now. Of course do more if you are able!

Livecoin support is giving indications that they may add Monero soon. Open an account today, vote and tell support that you plan to trade Monero on their exchange

https://www.livecoin.net/voting/voting/index

Many of you love Poloniex, but expansion is beneficial and Livecoin is an important exchange.

In addition to a call for action on to do list item #2 I am adding item #14:

14. Register an account and start becoming active on https://forum.getmonero.org today!

Translations will be extremely helpful. Thank you for volunteering!

Nice, i can help out with some languages 

Thanks for the clarification:) As long as people find this list useful I will keep updating it with new ideas as they come in.

hrm, I meant run an i2p router node (as in, contribute to the i2p infrastructure)... not a monero node on i2p (because at the moment this is technically challenging). But if people can pull it off, why not?

Thank you for you suggestions which I added to the list.

I am proud of what the Monero community has accomplished so far, but lots of work remains!

A. Run an i2p node.

B. be active on irc #monero and #monero-pools. People mining monero are dumped to #monero-pools for mining support, and others end up at #monero for other support. We generally have a good "tech support staff" available, but there are some gaps.

Updated the list. Please keep more suggestions coming.

The community needs to be as active as possible so that Monero developers can continue to focus on development.

Showing support for both of these proposals will create some synergies for Monero:

https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/99297/i2p
https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/95499/esperanto

Please add them to the list

Updated OP with this added to the list. More ideas are welcome.

It appears we are now on the cusp of completing the first stage for goal #3 above.

Has anyone received any updates from Livecoin (#1 above)? We are near the top of their voting list.

We should add a task for translations of the following into all major languages:

https://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/user-guides/
https://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/developer-guides/

Any amount of time multilingual community members could spend on this would be very helpful!

Exploits on the blockchain, nice!

Since they're on the blockchain, can you please point those out in a chain explorer? Here are a couple you can use:

moneroblocks.info
chainradar.com

7.don`t forget to tell the supporters and mechant(when you do step 4.)that :don`t need to worry about the 12 ZeroDay exploits that have been found and still open and available...cheers!
