Creation of the article by a NPOV author

This is a bona fide introduction to Monero.

I am member of the Core Team. Despite trying my best to offer only factual informations, I may have written biased content. I asked several time people to write a Monero article but no one did it. My hope is that this article will bootstrap writing an article were my writings get diluted among content created by more neutral people.

Similarly, if you find something that could be neutralised and do not know how to do it, please mention it here. Hopefully someone else than me will neutralise it.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Monero history

I did some research and linked the events from the first days of BitMonero/Monero, most of it from bitcointalk.org, history is important for legitimacy and now everyone can read through the archives and understand how Monero came to be.

Secondary Sources

As one of the Monero Core Team it would be untoward of me to edit the Wikipedia page, other than to correct any clear errors others have missed. Nonetheless, in order to satisfy the notability requirement the following should be considered: "Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate citation." To that end I have compiled a list of media, academic, and other sources that are either about Monero, or mention Monero. It is worth noting that cryptocurrencies are a "niche" (albeit a rather large one), and as such the majority of the news outlets that would cover Monero are cryptocurrency related, while "mainstream" media largely finds cryptocurrencies disinteresting. At any rate, some of these may be relevant to the Wikipedia article, the rest can live on in perpetuity on this talk page.

Online Media

Print Media

Due to the technological aspect of cryptocurrencies it is unlikely there will be print articles about Monero any time soon.

Books

Handbook of Digital Currency: Bitcoin, Innovation, Financial Instruments, and Big Data - David Lee Kuo Chuen, 2015 Google Books Link

Academic and Research Papers

It is worth noting that the Monero Research Lab research bulletins (as found on https://lab.getmonero.org) are in Google Scholar's database, and have been cited by some researchers. Nonetheless, the list below refers to papers that aren't MRL publications.

Trends in crypto-currencies and blockchain technologies: A monetary theory and regulation perspective - Gareth W. Peters, Efstathios Panayi, Ariane Chapelle, 2015. Link
An Analysis of the Cryptocurrency Industry - Ryan Farell, University of Pennsylvania, 2015. Link
Enabling Blockchain Innovations with Pegged Sidechains - Adam Back, Matt Corallo, Luke Dashjr, Mark Friedenbach, Gregory Maxwell, Andrew Miller, Andrew Poelstra,

Jorge Timón, and Pieter Wuille, 2014. Link

Can bitcoin be self-regulatory legal tender? : a comparative analysis of United States, European Union and Islamic legal systems - Mohammad Mahmoud Ibrahim Tayel, 2015. Link

I'm certain others will expand this list over time, and I trust this settles the "notoriety" requirement.
