## Receiving monero
If you have your own Monero address, you just need to give your standard address to someone.
Since Monero is anonymous, you won't see what address sent anything you receive. If you want to
know, you'll have to tell the sender to use a payment ID, which is an arbitrary optional tag which
gets attached to a transaction. To make life easier, you can generate an address that already
includes a random payment ID:

mistake. Monero is private, so you can't just point to your transaction in the blockchain,

private key to a party, that party can tell whether that transaction sent monero to that
