Last week, for the first time since launch of our #monero only wallet Monero.com, it has outpaced the installs of Cake Wallet (both still increased)

🚀http://Monero.com went up 30% 🚀@cakewallet went up 10%.

Overall, we have never had a down month since launch in 2018!

Furthermore, Monero accounts for over 80% of the network bandwidth we host for our users.

Based on bandwidth alone and no other metrics (as we don’t capture any metrics) - it’s very possible we serve twice as many Monero users daily today than we did just 6 months ago.

I like the monero.com wallet, but it is starting to feel bloated. Its like 160MB to download and has a lot of features in it that feel--at least to me--like clutter. It also makes it a slow process to download or update it over tor. Monerujo is quite a bit smaller and with cake pay mobile gone the only feature Monerujo doesnt have that cake does is pay multiple parties in a single transaction and coin control.

Thanks for the feedback. Will look at ways to making it smaller. Thinking of offering a Monero.com "Dark" or something that is super light with no exchange or buy/sell features and only available on Fdroid and only works over Tor.

Oh, that would be cool. No buy/sell, no exchange, no fiat API (in my opinion) and only on tor.

The one thing I would be curious about would be if it should be only able to connect to tor nodes or both tor and clearnet nodes. I have not figured out why yet, but accessing a clear net node via tor still syncs faster than using a tor node.
