I finally decided to do the plunge and try #monero out.
Here is what I plan to do:

🔲 Install a Monero node on the Desktop
🔲 Install a Monero wallet on the Desktop
🔲 Buy around $25 of Monero
🔲 Install a Monero wallet on my cellphone
🔲 Send monero to myself
🔲 Send Monero to my brother

I am not sure I will do it all in this order. What I am sure is that I would love your guys help on the way. I plan to update this note as I go along.

Let the adventure begin!
