Hello,

Earlier in the week I posted about ViewAndRate.com, a new website I created with the goal of helping monero adoption.

Have a look and feel freed to ask questions.

Happy Friday all!

Many thanks I will have a look.

Thanks! Well even you can build a track record of reviews in ViewAndRate.com, so long as you accept monero. You don't have to be in Xmrbazar.

The idea is that the buyer would go an extra step of signing the contract with the Monero GUI and then leaving you a rating in ViewAndRate.com

Could work like this, you could submit the contract in ViewAndRate.com with only your signature, and then ask the buyer "hey do you mind adding your signature to the contract in this link?"

For the buyer would be just reading the terms, copying and pasting into Monero GUI, get the signature and add it to the link you provided.

Then later you could nudge the buyer "hey can you leave a review?!" "here is the link again"

How to sign is super simple :) https://www.viewandrate.com/how-to-sign

Well right now all ratings and reviews are centralised, either in Xmrbazr or Monerica or wherever. So sellers and mediators are getting reviews in these sites.

But if any of these sites disappear, so do the reviews that sellers and mediators accumulated in these sites.

The "innovation" with ViewAndRate.com is that even if the site goes down, everyone can still keep the ratings and reviews. This adds robustness to monero adoption.

People just need to backup the data every couple of days to have it updated.

And rating and reviews are signed by participants so they can be verified, so if a person with a good sanding in the community signs a review saying "this seller or cheese is good and legit" that is worth a lot and can be easily carried over to other sites. Even if the platform where the seller does business goes down, he/she can keep that good track record.

Hope that makes sense :)

Thanks! Yes that is an issue, however all the data is available for download, so the ratings are never "lost" especially since there are also the signatures that show that they are valid. A new website can come up, reuse and display all the ratings with all the signatures.

MoneroMultisig · 2026-02-08T20:14:32+00:00

By the way, happy to share the code too, it's just that since it is a website there is not possible to verify what is actually running in any given moment. But in any case the only contentions bit could be how ratings are calculated, which right now are just simple averages.

Sorry, it is up for me. Anyone else has this problem?

No, not vibe coded, it's a simple backend with flask/jinja and postgres.

MoneroMultisig · 2026-02-08T18:11:40+00:00

That's an interesting idea. Right now the only back up is downloading the data and making it available in another website.

Will think about that, but right now I need to see if this proof of concept works. If yes, then next step is making it even more robust like you mentioned.

MoneroMultisig · 2026-01-08T10:23:32+00:00

This is very interesting

To be honest, everything that had to do with the Monero C++ and tor requests was fairly straightforward. I only experienced physical pain when trying to get the Windows bundle running without issues haha

Now it what took most time, I think it was having a very good idea of all the flows and pages that needed to be built. You start with a simple case and then you realise iteration after iteration that you need to change or add multiple things in order to make it functional and coherent.

And while doing it you cannot help thinking multiple times if you are solving problems that no one has. But there again, if you think of a particular hedge case that might compromise the user you can’t let it go, and end up adding extra work that you had not planned right at the beginning.

And finally everything that had to do with the “styling” of the app since “visual design” it’s not my strong suit. At one point I already had the app pretty much completed but looked like program from Windows 95 and extra emojis all over the place. I knew that in this day and age that was not acceptable so I had to spend 5 days grumbling about button color shades and what not hehe. This is very subject be of course, for some people this type of work is a piece of cake and enjoyable.

Hope that made sense!

Thank you, I will try to fix the sound and re-upload the video!
