Monero.ceo

A community-run public Monero node. monero.ceo is an open remote node — point any wallet at `monero.ceo:18089` (SSL) and it just works. Verified live: fully-synced mainnet, restricted RPC (the correct, safe config for a public node — it limits what remote wallets can query). The operator (@tallhatdoug, an established Monero-community advocate) states that both monerod and web-server logs are disabled, and anyone can connect.

Why it's listed at B-. Public nodes are a different risk class from the rest of the directory: they hold no funds, so there's no exit-scam vector, and they're run non-commercially as community infrastructure. On this shelf we grade the things that actually matter for a node — correct config, operator standing, independent corroboration — not the funds-tenure strictness we apply to exchanges. On those axes it does well: verified restricted + synced, a reputable community operator, and it's independently listed on Monerica (added Aug 2026). The domain dates to September 2025; the node has been publicly running since ~July 2026.

The honest caveats (why B-, not higher). The no-logs claim is exactly that — a claim. No public node can prove a negative from the outside, so treat any remote node as *potentially* able to see your IP and the transactions you query, and use Tor (or your own node) when it matters. Public node operation is only ~a month old, so there's no long uptime/reliability record yet, and we didn't find a Tor/onion mirror. A few months of clean uptime plus an onion would be a straightforward lift toward B.

Useful when. You want a fast, no-signup remote node to sync a wallet without running your own — paired with Tor for anything sensitive. That's the right way to use any public node, this one included.
