Hello everyone,

As you all know, we have seen a huge increase in the number of transactions during March this year. However, as far as I understand, it has pretty much been confirmed by Monero Research Lab researcher Rucknium that the increase is due to spam:

This is no doubt quite sad. It would have been nice if it had been a real growth of users.

The good news is that Monero still works as well as ever and several improvements are on their way. Furthermore, soon both decentralized exchanges Serai and Haveno will be released.

But I thought that perhaps it would be good to create a thread where we can share ideas on how to grow the number of users. I, like many of you, can't help on the research or development front, but most of us can do something to promote Monero.

I'm going to start a Twitter account and start spreading the word of Monero on there. I know that some of you put up stickers, which is also a good idea. But what else can we do to boost the growth a bit? Do you have any ideas?
