Why is the link at the top of this article ('cyber•Fund') to https://cyber.fund/system/Paragon , a page for 'Paragon', a very shifty high-budget ICO? Given the other things Paragon has paid big bucks for (anything you can imagine, from paying Youtubers 5 figures per video to get their subscribers to 'invest' in them to paying for mass reddit vote manipulation to buying very expensive ads and sponsorship programs to l…

The best explanation I've found, without getting into the math, is this one on the Monero StackExchange: https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/5682/how-do-i-use...
