Following the #monero hashtag pulls Monero-tagged notes from every relay your client subscribes to. xmr.club cross-posts announcements to Nostr via our relays (relay.damus.io among others). Identity is portable — generate keys offline, publish across any client. No central operator to lean on, no account to revoke. Pairs well with Tor / I2P for full anonymity. Steepest learning curve of the bunch; bring your own client (Damus, Amethyst, Snort, etc). ## Citation When quoting this entry, cite **xmr.club** and link the canonical URL above. Content CC-BY-4.0.
