Hi All,

Time flies! 6 years since launch! I won't bore you all with the stuff I wrote in my note at the 5th year anniversary. If interested, please search my profile and you can find it. I would appreciate it if you do.

But just to quickly recap, we started building Cake Wallet in the 3rd quarter of 2017 and launched in January of 2018. As I always say the highest and probably the most emotional time for me was when Cake got listed on getmonero. I would just sit and refresh getmonero over and over just to see the Cake logo popup. It was NOT easy to get listed on the App Store back then.

What started out as a basic (VERY basic) Monero wallet on iOS only has grown into a wallet that's basic enough for starters but filled with numerous features for advanced users and now with availability on iOS, Android, MacOS, Linux (and soon Windows).

Small plug of features : I believe we are the first wallet to add 2FA to complete various tasks - a feature I really like and user. I also like the multi send feature, coin control, address book, add your own node, accounts/subaddresses, nodes, Tor (through orbot for now), fiat api through tor, and the freedom we provide to our users to turn on/off features they don't want and so much more.

Cake now has multiple coins and we moved the Monero ONLY feature to the Monerodotcom by Cake Wallet app for the hardcore types, or if you just want another Monero wallet in addition to Cake that you don't use or use for other stuff :). (BTW MoneroDotCom Wallet is no available for MacOS desktop)

Cake's apps have over 400,000 unique downloads on iOS and Android App Store combined. We don't know about the direct downloads so its probably more than 400k. From the beginning the Monero community is important to me and very near to me.

We have been A LOT together. Any new feature we add in Cake, we ask ourselves "How will this affect Monero" or "Let's discuss with the community". This will not change for me. If I want to do something without the Monero community, I will go ahead and launch another wallet WITHOUT Monero so Cake, Monerodotcom, and Monero are not affected. This is a hypothetical.. and no nothing is planned or in the works.

In 2024, we will continue finding ways to make Monero easier to use in addition to finding more and more ways to use in the real world. Regardless of the very small minority of haters, we will keep building Cake, Monerodotcom, and Cake Pay. I will continue funding the development of Monero, Monero related projects, conferences, meetups, podcasts, books, movies, art, and much much more. You have a Monero related project? Let's talk.

Of course all this for Cake couldn't have happened with our amazing dev, support, and marketing teams that make it happen 24/7/365.

Thank you Monero Community very much for working with me for the last 6 years on making Cake Wallet and Monerodotcom Wallet a success and the premier wallets for Monero.

PS: Come join me and the Cake Team in Dallas in March at the Finney Forum on Privacy. Cake is the MAIN sponsor. Luke Parker and other Monero community members are speaking.

Go to buy.cakepay.com and search for debit/gift cards in that country! CakePay is the cheapest way to get legit debit/gift cards at FACE VALUE for XMR and other crypto. Vik

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.

Real Quick:

• Update your Cake Wallet and Monero.com wallet to the latest versions.

• Cake Pay waitlist has been removed and is open to all! https://cakepay.com

• Justin Berman and Luke Parker will be giving talks at the Monero Meetup in Chicago on Nov 2. Join us for a fun and informative evening!

That's all!

Bug fixed and fiat on-ramp improvements.

Really enjoying using this Monero.town so I decided to donate some XMR. It pays for server costs.

Do posts from r/monero from Reddit automatically show up here or the other way around or neither?
