Designed various malwares that hackeaban users and violated devices. In this way mining XMR without the people realize, tallying up havoc. It is at this point that Riccardo “FluffyPony” Spagni appears, being the head of maintenance of Monero. Among their duties was to maintain the stability of the services with XMR. Between their work and modification managed to reduce these malwares. Spagni, which has a history of five years with the current incarnation of Monero, has become a celebrity in the industry, mainly due to his active participation in the social networks. In particular, the ironic humor of Spagni has earned the appreciation and the scorn in equal measure, the latter often derived from the supporters of the projects that you choose to criticize.
