I'm glad you like it! It's going to get a good update/upgrade soon as well.
fun fact: every cost of the site is paid exclusively in xmr directly. It's fiat free!

Haven is an interesting idea and I hope only the best for it, but many are wary of it due to its history of project management.
It hasn't kept up well with the monero codebase even after critical security updates and with plenty of people urging them, and without any real explanation. It's something I'd need to see improved before using it for real outside of testing.

A site that aggregates monero news is https://themonero.dance (I host it) but there's others that are similar yet different. themoneromoon.com is one really good one

I can, and I could, but I liked having a game with Monero being so central to it

it was a Monero version of the game Plinko that was "provably fair" by using math on the blockchain. It raised a lot of XMR for the general fund, and you could also win xmr when a xmr trivia bot randomly put you on the spot in the chat.
the coolest users were ones that would use multi-outputs to place several bets at once which made a lot of action, and back then required using the cli wallet with skillz
I miss Minko. I miss the fun, I miss the concept, I miss the room chats... and its cause for shutting down was provably unfair to all of us, as a payout bug was exploited that depleted the funds needed to operate. I haven't been able to find the site's code posted anywhere, but I think I saw a monero dev had made announcements regarding the site. Right now I'm looking to see who I can contact from the original project, what code is available and can be reused for a new version, and from there look at options to get something built that brings back the fun. Where can I start? Am I alone in getting excited to bring back Minko? How can it be even better this time?
