A little note about about this financial status report
- Throne
- it is fiat type and I will only add money here when I withdraw it.
- Cryptocurrencies
- I will truncate numbers to 4 decimal places.
- It may not always be up to date. You can check up to date ETH balance by clicking to it.
- No matter which coin you send from Trocador, the money will merge into Monero.
Same. I’m happy to answer any questions or assist with the infra. This is basically what us idiots DevOps/SRE do on a daily basis: cut costs while improving performance and reliability.
