Qubes OS Project now accepting donations in Monero!

[Andrew David Wong]

Dear Qubes Community,

We are pleased to announce that the Qubes OS Project is now accepting
donations [1] in the privacy-oriented cryptocurrency Monero (XMR) [2] at
the following address:

```

We have received an increasing number of requests for Monero as a
donation method over the past few years. We are proud that Qubes is the
OS of choice for so many privacy-conscious individuals, and we are
pleased to be able to offer a more private donation method for those
users to show their support.

As with our Bitcoin donation address, you can verify the authenticity of
the Monero donation address via the Qubes Security Pack [3] in the fund
[4] directory. We also provide detailed instructions for verifying the
digital signatures [5].

As with all other donations, your Monero donations will directly fund
the Qubes OS Project [6]. Since Qubes is free and open-source software,
we do not earn any revenue by selling it. Instead, we rely on your
financial support. If you rely on Qubes for secure computing in your
work or personal life or see the value in our efforts, we would greatly
appreciate your donation. Thank you!
