Unlike Bitcoin, Monero is actually private and has very low +transaction fees. That makes it a good idea to get a Monero wallet and +add an address on your website where you can receive donations. + +## Generate a Monero wallet + +Go to [Monero\'s official site](https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/) and you can download either the GUI (graphical) or CLI (command-line +wallet). Some Linux distributions will have these packages in their +repositories (`monero` and `monero-gui` on Arch-based distributions). + + + +Once you install and run the wallet program, you will get a menu like +this: + +{{< img src="/pix/monero-01.png" alt="simple mode" >}} + +Now if you want to start using Monero and using it as a pro, you can +choose to download the whole blockchain which will maximize your +transactional privacy, however for this tutorial or setting up a wallet, +we can just do the Simple Mode and save our bandwidth. **In fact, if you +are paranoid, you can disconnect your computer from the internet while +generating a wallet.** + +Now we choose to create a wallet. + +{{< img src="/pix/monero-02.png" alt="create wallet" >}} + +Now we get the most important and sensitive part, you private mneumonic +seed. **These words are sacred! They are your money!** To be clear, they +are randomly generated words that seed the randomness required to unlock +whatever money you receive or hold. Never show these words to anyone, +don\'t even keep them on your computer, but write them down and store +them securely in real life in a safe or somewhere where only you have +access. + +{{< img src="/pix/monero-03.png" alt="seed" >}} + +It goes without saying that the seed above that we generated for this +tutorial should never be used by anyone since it is public on the +internet and anyone could easily take the funds from the wallet. + +Finally, we get to the main wallet screen. Now we see your public +sharable wallet receiving address. It is the thing that starts with `4` +and is too long to be included in the image below labeled \"Primary +address.\" + +{{< img src="/pix/monero-04.png" alt="address" >}} + +Click the clipboard next to it to copy the whole sequence (which will be +more than 90 letters and numbers) to your clipboard. This is your +address. Put it on your website and you can receive donations! + +You can also click to save that QR code image and you can put it up on +your website and people will be able to scan it and send you Monero. +When scanned, that QR code will read as the public donation address. + +## What do I do now? + +You can now receive Monero/XMR donations! All you need to do is put +either your full address or your QR code on your site and people can +send you tips in Monero. + +Here is the address we use for this site (i.e. not the compromised +wallet generated above): + +84RXmrsE7ffCe1ADprxLMHRpmyhZuWYScDR4YghE8pFRFSyLtiZFYwD6EPijVzD3aZiEpg57MfHEr1pGJNPXyJgENMnWrSh + +{{< img src="/pix/xmr.png" class=qr alt="monero donation qr" >}} + +It\'s now up to you how and where to display these on your site. -- cgit v1.2.3
