Monero Notes
Privacy does not remove responsibility
Monero is designed around stronger privacy defaults than many transparent ledgers, but wallet safety still depends on device hygiene, backups, and careful verification.
Syncing can take time because the wallet must scan relevant chain data. A delayed display does not automatically mean funds are gone.
