Monero/Crypto revenue stats from Porcfest

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)
