A comprehensive conceptual (and technical) explanation of Monero.
We endeavor to teach anyone who knows basic algebra and simple computer science concepts like the ‘bit representation’ of a number not only how Monero works at a deep and comprehensive level, but also how useful and beautiful cryptography can be.

Mastering Monero

Un guide à travers le monde apparemment complexe de Monero.
Il contient :

• Une vaste introduction aux chaînes de blocs et à l\'importance de la confidentialité, idéale pour les utilisateurs non-techniques.
• La discussion des lacunes de Bitcoin et les solutions spécifiques apportées par Monero.
• Des scénarios utilisateurs (illustrant de quelle manière Monero protège votre confidentialité), des analogies, des exemples, des discussions juridiques/éthiques et des bribes de code illustrant les concepts techniques clef.
• Des détails sur le réseau décentralisé de Monero, l\'architecture pair à pair, le cycle de vie des transactions et les principes de sécurité.
• Une introduction aux fondations techniques de Monero, à destination des développeurs, ingénieurs, architectes logiciel et utilisateurs curieux.
• Les nouveaux développements, tel que Kovri, les Bulletproofs, les Multisignature, les Portefeuilles Materiel, etc.

The Salmon Series

Infographics dealing with Monero's inner workings. The name comes from employed colours, having semantic meanings (even if weak) but also a unifying function as a recurring theme, and resembling salmon browning (from raw to well-done) to the author's eyes :)

• Monero Addresses Cheatsheet - Between the ‘big picture’ and the mathematical details, a single-page recap of various keys, addresses, scopes (private/public, spend/view, on-chain/off-chain, payer’s/payee’s) and their relations.
• Rings Cheatsheet - From generic legacy signature to CLSAG, a visual-holic journey through Rings flavours, presenting their core properties step-by-step in a poster-size infographic.
• RingCT Cheatsheet - The recipe of a delicious RingCT Type 5 transaction: one CLSAG every eleven UTXOs, Moneroj amounts to taste; thicken everything with Pedersen Commitments whose overall equilibrium will be evident to waiters as well, and protect last ones with a BulletProof glaze; serve on chosen Stealth Addresses and consume not before ten blocks later. Cheers!
• ZK Basics Cheatsheet - A lightly theoretical interlude (hopefully still gentle, trying to stress concepts more than formalism and selecting the approached topics) to lay the foundations for Bulletproof and other future Zero-Knowledge-related features, if any.
