KUNO

My Goal with this Project is to make it easy for people all around the world to find merchants near them that accept Monero. Not only will it be free advertising for the businesses listed but creates a snow ball as interested retailers see the sheer amount of demand to pay with XMR.

I Have long dreamed of making projects for Monero and have a long list on the backburner due to just simply not having the funds for them yet (Hard when you're 22 with a 5 Month old Son). But the Monero bros encouraged me to create a Kuno for this project and I believe that this will vastly improve business conversion rates to accepting Monero alongside promotion of the circular economy.

My Life's Purpose since going headfirst into XMR has always been to spread the word about Monero and promote a Global Monero Circular Economy to free the world from central banking, usury, inflation etc. It is my belief that with this simple tool we can completely revolutionize what its like to shop and spend your XMR. We must expand beyond online retailers

I and many other have wanted a way to see where they can locally spend.
Not to mention showing new businesses interested in accepting Monero, a easy and clean map where anyone can find them with ease!

This website will not only just be a map for people to locally see where they can spend XMR but will have free resources for them to onboard local businesses and a host of other resources
