A big thank you to the community for funding this important development work!

Pretty odd that CoinMarketCap owned CoinGecko News (https://web.archive.org/web/20240101072011/https://www.coingecko.com/en/news) has zero articles about the Monero situation on their top feed at this time.

I hope your serve the community well and earn a reputation for being a trusted organization.
