Monero is relevant. Very relevant.

Another year of #Porcfest, another round of vendor stats:

Percentage of revenue:

#Cash 68.99% (was 72.2%)

#Zelle 2.16% (was 2.69%)

#Goldbacks 3.2% (was 11.77%)

#Silver 3.82% (was 4.44%)

#Monero 7.95% (was 5.42%)

#Bitcoin 5.33% (was 0.47%)

#Zano 3.09% (was 0%)

#BitcoinCash 2.73% (was 0.62%)

#FUSD 1.79% (was 0%)

#Zcash 0.41% (was 0%)

#Dogecoin 0.22% (was 0%)

#Ethereum 0.17% (was 0%)

#Litecoin 0.13% (was 0.56%)

#BitcoinLightning wasn't available this year, as the non-custodial setup stopped working (was 1.82%)

The percentage of total crypto sales was:

~7% in 2022

~9% in 2023

~9% in 2024

~22% in 2025

So the numbers, only looking at crypto, are:

#XMR 36.4%

#BTC 24.4%

#ZANO 14.2%

#BCH 12.5%

#FUSD 8.2%

#ZEC 1.9%

#DOGE 1%

#ETH 0.8%

#LTC 0.6%

So Zano coming in hot (probably thanks to the three Zano Foundation guys mostly) and Monero is still leading the crypto pack.

Overall Fiat usage declined ever so slightly (-5%), while precious metal usage declined dramatically (-57%, probably because this year there was no Goldback tent and/or people around).

Though Crypto usage increased a lot (+140%).

Maybe I need to ask more vendors if they collect their stats to get a more general Porcfest overview.

Oh and most vendors accepted Monero. Majority of the few that didn't were onboarded by me. Like the Satoshi film makers, which you can now fund/support using XMR (https://linktr.ee/satoshi.movie)
