About Monero
Monero is a cryptocurrency that is centred around three principles — privacy, decentralization and fungibility. Monero is known as one of the most private and secure cryptocurrencies that exist today. Monero can be used by any person but no one outside of the transaction is able to see who the transaction is sent by, who it is sent to or the amount that is sent.
Monero was created in 2014 and shared on a Bitcoin forum. The cryptocurrency gained real popularity over the next two years due to its advanced privacy and security. In 2016, it was one of the fastest-growing digital currencies of that year. In 2017, Monero gained even more traction when it adopted Confidential Transactions, an algorithm which hides the value of the transaction.
Why use XMR to buy flights?
Privacy-centric altcoin
Digital currencies are already well-known for their super-tight privacy and security but Monero is known to offer even more privacy and security when compared to other cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin.
Block Size Limit Automatically Adapts
Monero's block size limit automatically expands no matter how high the transaction is priced. This means that — unlike with some other cryptocurrencies &mdash if the cost of your flights exceeds the block size limit, you won't have to wait for a double verification in order to complete your payment. The block size limit will expand straight away and you'll be able to buy your flights as normal.
