I propose the community come together to purchase the Monero.how domain name, website, and content and appoint a custodian(s) to manage the website and content.

knacc is auctioning off monero.how. The current bid is $2150.00 at https://flippa.com/9336741-monero-how with 13 days left.

This has been a longstanding resource for Monero, the Monero community, and newbies to learn about and how to use Monero. Many bad things could happen if a random person purchases it. It could be shutdown, have old content that causes issues, be used to advertise a scam, or even to undermine Monero.

I propose funding of 250 XMR to cover Milestone 1 (extra funds to be returned to general fund), 10 XMR for Milestone 2, 10 XMR for Milestone 3, and 30 XMR for Milestone 4. I would bid and complete the auction in fiat. Any extra funds would be returned to the Monero General Fund.

Milestone 1) Purchase Monero.how via auction and move the domain and content to a new hosting provider.

Milestone 2) Provide hosting and content updates for a year.

Milestone 3) Open source the website via Github.

Milestone 4) Integrate 20 pages of content from monero.how to getmonero.org via github.
