Good morning, senpai. A new day to educate complete retards why monero is the best long-term investment opportunity on the scene.

>>28860254
is cpu mining viable and how good does the cpu need to be? i got i9-9900k

>>28860254
This fud thread a few days a go got me a bit nervous. Is there any truth to this anon's claims?

Where my CLI chads at?

>>28860825
Are you trolling or are you literally retarded? I can’t even tell these days.

>>28860825
Fuckin kek. I posted that a few days ago. Nothing better than FUDing your own coin.

What’s the suicide stack?

>>28860859
Testing Feather these last few days. Used to use CLI exclusively because I could bet multiple times with one transaction on Minko, but now even THAT closed. I wonder if something is happening with binaryFate since he managed both xmr.to and minko.to.

>>28860825
kek. The only truth there is that it was really a fork of Bytecoin originally.

>>28861213
An unknown amount xD

>>28860825
>>28861080
>>28861448
Just in case anyone is interested in reading the actual story of Monero, CryptoNote (the protocol Monero was built on) Bytecoin (the original implementation of CryptoNote, and where monero forked from)

>>28861213
any amount because holding this heroin dealer paedophile coin is equivalent to moral suicide

>>28861213

It used to be 18.7 but I don't know that everyone can reach that level

>>28861213
18.7

>>28861870
Ok glowie

Monerchads, is there any other future promising coin besides XMR?

>>28861847

I'm dumb and forgot to paste the link of course.

>>28861925
>>28861952
why such a strange amount?

>>28861213
What does suicide stack even mean? Someone please explain, I am new to this board.

>>28862289
the amount you need so you don’t rope yourself when it moons

>>28861401
Minko closed because of a bug and because of some bad luck with payouts.
Xmr.to closed because there were alternatives and they didn’t want to deal with kyc stuff.
Binaryfate is active on Twitter. I wouldn’t worry.

>>28862069
Literally all other coins are shitcoins at a fundamental level, so no.

>>28862456
"some bad luck" is a weird reason for someone closing a gamble website. I was there almost everyday for months, I've seen lots of people losing tens of thousands of dollars. Unless the payout bug was someone exploiting minko's platform and literally robbing their XMR. Could be.
I don't think he's compromised or anything, I'm just wondering if he's gonna release something new, or simply do nothing and enjoy the massive stack he must have. I know I would lmao.

>>28862642
That was what I was thinking...

>>28862069
After analyzing more than 1000 projects, XMR is still the winner for me.

Two that I have invested in the past:

ADA, despite Charles Cuckson, if manages to deliver is promising.

IOTA is centralized shit, but it will grow in adoption.

Best way is to go through each of the coins, read their whitepapers, check their teams, verify their repository, see their community, look for red flags in forums/boards/plebbit/twitter. It is time consuming, but then you will have more chance to do a good investment.

>>28862217
tail emission kicks in around 18.7 million coins

>>28862456
is there really an alternative to xmr.to though? Somewhere that we can point fudders to when they ask shit like "who even accepts xmr except for criminals"

>>28863002
you think fudders give a fuck

>>28863002
There are literally thousands of alternatives.

>>28861870
Beter burn all your fiat then

Why is primary addresses starts with 4 and subaddresses(or other accounts with primary addresses) starts with 8? Is there any reason for this? I think it leaks some info about it and as far as I heard you need to use your primary address for mining payouts

>>28864100
I actually read the "zero to monero book".

The reason for that actually has to do with scalability. By making subaddresses different from primary addresses they can basically infinitely scale subaddresses. I.E. to process 1 subaddress or 10,000 subaddresses it costs the same amount of calculations on the blockchain. This keeps the transaction costs low if someone has a lot of subaddresses.

That's all there is to it. They were primarily designed so that you could have multiple different forms of income and payment scheduling in your wallet. So you can from a glance easily see who paid you as you have a different subaddress for every customer etc.

>>28860821
Monero mining is not done on gpus. People sometimes mine monero on the processor and something else like eth on the gpu simultaneously.
There are websites that give hash rate reports and estimates. Search duckduckgo for it or I'm sure someone will help you with a link.

>>28864100
>Is there any reason for this?
I will try to explain in a simple way: subaddresses are generated kinda using your main account address as the seed, that's why they are different and you can have thousands and thousands of subaddresses all linked to the same account (main address).
>I heard you need to use your primary address for mining payouts
If you're solo mining, yes, the coinbase transaction goes to the main address. If you're mining on a pool you can (and should) use a subaddress.

>>28861870
>what is cash
If anything monero will be the tax evasion off shore banking coin. Imagine when bitcoin hits 100k or 200k and greedy NEETs realize they will owe millions in cap gains. They'll hide that shit.

>>28864458
>>28864796


yeah but OPSEC-wise let's say that you used your primary address that starts with 4 in a centralized exchange and after that you did a new transaction with a sub-address that starts with 8. It is safe to assume that those 2 addresses are belong to you and not someone else. I think it should've been random but I guess you can't change the main addresses to 8 from now on

>>28862840

Anyone care to do the math when that is?

>>28865241

End of May 2022

>>28865179
Best practice is just never use your address that starts with 4, ever. Featherwallet is trying something like that where it doesn't even show the main account address.
That being said, in your scenario the exchange will only know that the wallet that starts with 4a9nf... is yours. It can't see anything after that, not in the blockchain, not anywhere.

>>28865241
~ May 2022
It's closer than you think. Lot less monero gonna be available in the market...

>>28864823
>If anything monero will be the tax evasion off shore banking coin. Imagine when bitcoin hits 100k or 200k and greedy NEETs realize they will owe millions in cap gains. They'll hide that shit.

Oh, you want to swap for my pristine, fungible XMR? It'll cost ya.

>>28860056
Once atomic swaps are live, will we be able to generate yield with XMR?

>>28865427

there is less monero in the market every day

Reminder that monero is much more divisible and here is the names of each division

1 piconero = 0.000000000001 monero
1 nanonero = 0.000000001 monero
1 micronero = 0.000001 monero
1 millinero = 0.001 monero
1 centinero = 0.01 monero
1 decinero = 0.1 monero
1 monero = 1 monero
1 decanero = 10 monero
1 hectonero = 100 monero
1 kilonero = 1000 monero
1 meganero = 1000000 monero

>>28865585

>>28865585
>Once atomic swaps are live, will we be able to generate yield with XMR?

You can charge juicy premiums to BTC hodlers desperate to get into XMR and avoid the IRS. They won't be able to use regular exchanges due to KYC so atomic swaps will be their only option.

I like monero but why can't I trade it on Binance?

Can I mine Monero with a GTX1060 and how much energy will it spend?

its a shame i lost all mine in a boating accident. oh well, goodluck frens!

I've started mining Safex.

thoughts?

You can't mine on graphics cards. You have to mine on CPU's, but you can use your graphics card to mine ethereum and exchange the ethereum for monero

>>28865427
Interesting... I think I need to read up more on addresses and tighten my practices.
Just for theoretical purposes of course. I don't own any monero.

>>28866580

>>28866772
>sir, I have a crypto brownpill for you, buy 0xMonero

Shoo shoo pajeet

>>28866728
Not really. With GPU mining you can have up to 12 GPU's on a single motherboard, and with CPU monero mining you would need to have 1 motheboard per cpu, so that means 1 psu for every CPU. That would probably be very expensive in terms of electricity, plus you'd be plugging in a bunch of shit and risking causing a fire.
>>28866772
Either this is the 0xPajeet or an anon trolling. Anyways fuck off.

>>28866162
It will be a pool of XMR & BTC and the fees will be split amongst participants, right? Just like pooling on uniswap/bepswap

>>28866728
You can but that doesn't mean it's the most profitable
I checked hash rates between older and newer hardware (R3900x vs 4xOperton 6276, yes 4 server grade 12 core chips) and the 3900x outperformed the opterons by a factor of 14 while only drawing at most 500w for the whole system while the opterons pull 1100W for everything

What is the liquidity of atomic swaps going to be? And will it actually be decentralized? I never understood why a DEX like Bisq isn't the same thing.

>>28863191
What I mean is how with xmr.to you could just tell people anywhere that accepts btc accepts xmr. But now that I think of it I guess it's possible to just put the btc address as the recipient in a coin swap service that has xmr. Most places that "accept btc" just use bitpay and don't actually have a btc address though so it doesn't really matter anyway. Obviously it's better if places that take btc and not xmr just add xmr support. Even if xmr didn't have any privacy features it would still be a better currency than btc or eth just based on tx cost and speed. But I suppose that won't matter for btc and eth since everything will run on bankster centralized layer 2 hubs.

>>28860056
Where do I buy this as an american? I know binance.us doesn't have it. Does Kraken have the same restrictions? I do already have ETH/BTC to trade for it so I would hope to not have to verify with another exchange first

>>28866238
You can. Maybe you can't on Binance US. Open an account at Kraken.

>>28867192
>>28866162
Atomic swaps doesn't mean anything but being able to exchange monero for bitcoin and vice-versa without having to use an intermediary. It's fully P2P. That's all. It doesn't have anything to do with generating yield or pooling fees what the fuck.

>>28868242
Bisq and Localmonero use an escrow system. I'm not sure why would centralization or decentralization be a problem. Ideally you will have a couple of services hosting the platform where interested parties can post their ask/bid and trade freely using atomic swaps as the protocol and not requiring any intervention ever.

>>28868486
Be a nice monero supporter and email your vendor/service provider/store requesting them to accept monero natively.

>>28868505
I think Kraken might not work on WA and NY, other than that it should be enough. If you have BTC you can use normal Binance and deposit your BTC there to buy XMR. Or you can use one of these coin swap thing websites.

monero.how is a bit outdated.
Kraken is one of the most reputable exchanges you can buy XMR from, you won't have any problems there.

>>28866238
Because you live in the United States of America. You can only buy this coin in regions where privacy is not demonized by the government.

>>28860825
Absolutely true, sell all your XMR

>>28869478
>monero.how
their price's widget has prices from Kraken. they have a XMR/USD pair if that's what you need. that's the usual go-to place as they are the only OG exchange from back the day that never got hacked, even if they had their own system outages problems.

Question for you guys I got the MIR airdrop and I was considering turning it into XMR I know I need to use an exchange to turn it into a coin the cakewallet exchange will accept for XMR but which coin pathway do you think will cost the least gas?

>>28868714
I think I'm missing the entire point of atomic swaps. The tech seems good...
>Peer to peer transfers from one coin to another
I guess what I'm confused about is the liquidity. You'll have various "hosts" running the protocol. But two people need to be online at the same time and wanting to swap say $100 of btc for $100 of monero since keys have to be verified for the transfer to take place. I understand you save on txfees of moving coin to and from an exchange and exchange fees but the liquidity is going to be shit.

>>28862815
Or just put everything on XMR

Any news on atomic swaps?

>>28869999
i heard LTC to XMR was the cheapest in the cakewallet

>>28869478

>>Non KYC:

>see: kycnot.me

Binance with a VPN works with no verification for up to 2btc withdrawal/day I haven't tried to withdrawal that much though, and I've heard of them locking people out of their account. Kraken is good of course, verification required and shit tier interface though.

That fat shit buttboy crypto said monero is compromised because the gubment payed some company (twice) for some exploit. Plus there's the bad caca site that publishes people's ips. What's up with that monebros?

>>28870283
Problem is MIR is an erc20 shitcoin and I can't direct swap it to LTC. Which erc20 coin that cakewallet uses do you think would be the best intermediary between MIR and XMR?

>>28870018
>but the liquidity is going to be shit.

There will definitely be less XMR holders looking to acquire BTC than vice versa, since BTC is non-fungible and thus potentially tainted.

And demand will build as more and more Bitcoiners realize atomic swaps with XMR is the gold standard for mixing, they'll be lining up around the block to clean their filthy coins sans all the AML/KYC/trading fee bullshit.

So I have a 3090 (I'm rich, bitch), and I'm mining eth at a pretty crazy rate. My plan is to exchange this to monero. However, I only have KYC exchanges available. Is there a way to change ethereum to monero without compromising my privacy?

Also, monero is unironically the future. I am so ridiculously bullish on this coin.

>>28860056
how does atomic swaps clean btc? btc is still transparant so after swap, it keeps recording, it just has a small blank in the history because swap?

>>28871488

sideshift.ai

>>28870018
My understanding is that these protocols are going to be used by people who will create services that provide this capability: of transacting P2P in a safe and trust less way. Maybe the requirements are not that high: just leave your computer on with the client running so your offer doesn't leave the pool. You can improve on that and make something cool with it. But yeah, we will see about liquidity how's that gonna work. I don't expect a crypto ban, but bitcoin is going to be scrutinized by the powers that be and a lot of people will start noticing that it's better to hold your currency in something they can't monitor. Watch Dr. Daniel Kim's last presentation.

>>28870514
>Plus there's the bad caca site that publishes people's ips.
>IPs are not even correct
monero has dandelion++ mitigating this attack, these IPs are not even correct. fake ass website. and the government offering a bounty to break monero just proves the whole fucking point of this currency existing, so

>>28871526
>how does atomic swaps clean btc? btc is still transparant so after swap, it keeps recording, it just has a small blank in the history because swap?

It breaks the chain of custody, you basically exchange your BTC transactional history with somebody else.

Of course, odds are you'll end up getting even more tainted coins but that's the risk you assume by using Bitcoin.

>>28871526
It doesn't make the BTC clean. Which is why XMR is going to be worth more than BTC in the long-term.

You need to be a fortune teller to put specific dates on it but it's a mathematical inevitability that one coin being traded to another where one is inherently more risky and expensive to hold is going to result in the appreciation of the asset you can easily swap it to.

I'm being a conservative chap and suggest it's going to take 10 years. XMR is a long term sure performer but not a coin you should use to speculate short term.

>>28872494
>not a coin you should use to speculate short term.
don't mind me speculating that this coin is severely undervalued at <1% BTC, there are some easy 50x to be made 'short term' before XMR tries to overtake BTC.

Indeed. Atomic swaps are where Bitcoin's inherent fungibility flaws will really start to get noticed. The maxipads will be in for a rude awakening when they're confronted with the cold harsh reality that their precious surveillance coin ain't worth all that.

>My time is limited today.
You better take the time to actually familiarize yourself with Monero. If you don't have the attention span to watch a 1 hour video without skimming through it then Monero is most likely not for you and you are better off just trading BTC,ETH and ERC tokens.

>>28873566
It helps keep the infrastructure decentralized and more secure so it's always appreciated if you run a local node. If you in the future have XMR that's worth a lot of $$$ you should ALWAYS run a full node to minimize the risk of a near node you're using instead of a local one to be compromised.

I don't think this is the best idea.

>>28876766
And lose everything if you hit your head too hard in a car accident for example or develop dementia another way, good luck.

What I recommend for high value owners of XMR in for the long run is to generate a paper wallet. Write the code down.

Then write every word down on a separate piece of paper. Distribute 1/3rd of the words over 3 separate safes.

>>28877144

Paper copy couple places. Or buy plate tungsten and etch it. Or buy two children and tattoo half the seed phrase on each and send them to different orphanages and track them secretly over the next many years. Just spitballing here.
Hold on, if you were to keep huffing hexchro paint, perhaps you could derive a seed phrase from your damaged DNA. That way, in the future you could just nut into your USB port to unlock your keys....of course that'd just be gameytes... wait... come back to me... I can figure this out.

I've been thinking about writing some kind of backup guide so I can help my monero friends find which backup plan would work for them. It's not necessarily too difficult, but it's a very underrated subject.
I usually don't recommend keeping your mnemonic phrase on paper. Firstly because your house might catch fire, and secondly because in the not too distant future people will know what that combination of words means and you might be the target of burglaries. If you absolutely want to do it, make it in a hidden manner not so obvious, people like writing letters putting the words in there in a way that's only identifiable for them but I won't get into this.
Because of this, the mnemonic phrase should preferably be stored digitally and encrypted (zip with AES256 password would be enough) and with a unique password that only you know.
Hot wallets I keep the mnemonic phrase on a password manager that is synced with the cloud, easier to manage.
That settled, I like the option of having my cold wallets available on a USB stick with Live Linux on an encrypted VeraCrypt partition. This also allows me to easily make clones of my pendrive to keep multiple backups in several different physical places. If you want to get creative, you can store other important digital documents, photos, and even your will on those USB sticks.
Just make sure you're using open source, community approved wallets software like Monero GUI / CLI.

>>28878007

>>28877289
>Then write every word down on a separate piece of paper. Distribute 1/3rd of the words over 3 separate safes.

What about generating three different wallets, and having each of those seeds in different places? That way you don't increase the risk of losing your entire wallet, for the cost of increasing the risk of losing a portion of your wallet

>>28878093
I feel fairly confident generating my mnemonic phrase using the recommended implementation of the protocol on an offline Linux computer, and then proceeding to zip encrypting with a password using AES-256.
Don't underestimate the opportunity bad actors will see on this. It's like if you were storing gold at your home but in a piece of paper.

>>28878368
>Why not hardware wallets? In my fireproof safe. Protected by various guns.
Nothing wrong with hardware wallets I guess. I just am comfortable enough to deal with the actual wallet software for Monero and Bitcoin and prefer that. It's a bit DYI, but it's cheaper and so easy to clone. If you travel a lot you have to consider the possibility of shit hitting the fan and you being anywhere.

>>28878368
>Why not hardware wallets? In my fireproof safe. Protected by various guns.

Because relying on circuitry of any kind is not as foolproof as ink on paper, properly stored in multiple locations.

And by "properly stored" I mean not in plain sight or anywhere a thief might go looking. Be creative.

fair enough. Once it gets to >300k I'd probably start thinking about ways to reduce risk of getting robbed. Obviously good opsec is a large portion of this, don't let anyone know you have a crypto position.

You can put your files or seed phrases in a photo or a sound file with a steganography software and decode it when you need it. I heard a software called "deepsound" from mr robot. No one will take a look at your mp3 files or family photos and think hmm there it is that's the seed phrase.

>>28878917
>Be creative.
Being creative is the key. You can store your encrypted seed online in a way that is pratically impossible for anybody to know what it is and why they should be interested in that particular file. You can also split the seed in multiple encrypted files, reverse the seed before the encryption, etc. Be creative indeed.

>>28878654
That's a bit to doomer for me. SHTF is a meme. And with the little to no real world adoption of XMR whats the point? It's like a guy in /pmg/ who wears a gold bracelet "just in case" shtf and he needs to barter with it. Just get a carry permit if you are worried. And a credit card. Or if you really want some XMR to carry with you just have some in storage and put a bit on cake wallet when you leave the house.

So these are ways that you get robbed
>Connecting to any public node that isn't your own private one
>Buying anything with XMR online
>Having your seed stored anywhere that isn't on a piece of paper cleverly hidden
Is that about right?

>>28879180
creativity is boundless. You could write the words in a different language and translate backwards. You could etch it on the bottom of something that you would never ever lose (something with sentimental value, like a wedding ring).

>>28878917
They give you a little card to write your seed on. What's wrong with that? The device is useless.

>>28879262
>That's a bit to doomer for me. SHTF is a meme.
Shit hitting the fan might just be you needing quick access to your stash if you are visiting family in another country or state. There are many reasons one might decide to have multiple backups.

>>28879287
No

>>28879531
>No
What am I missing?

>>28879420
>The device is useless.
Hardware wallets are useful because you can send and receive coins without your private key ever touching your computer. That said, I don't use one. I use a fresh Linux VM with nothing installed on it except officials wallets.

You can also split the seed in multiple encrypted files, reverse the seed before the encryption, etc. Be creative indeed.

Technically, you're correct, I just personally wouldn't feel comfortable knowing my seed was online.

Probably the safest solution is a ziplocked paper wallet placed in a sealed plastic tube and buried somewhere in your backyard. Impervious to metal detectors and somebody would first have to know it was there to go digging for it.

How the fuck do I speed up the initial blockchain synch?
With BTC you can move a folder to a fast drive and create a symlink, can XMR do the same?

>>28877393
I'm pretty sure there are different degrees of memory loss, people obviously can get permanent memory loss without turning into a vegetable. 25 random words seems like it would probably be one of the things you'd be most likely to forget.

>>28879794

>>28860056
friendly reminder that in the past decade the elite have shit themselves over bitcoin, collectively decided the only way to win against it was to co-opt it and price you out, and it's worked.
monero is the obvious counter, for the people and private by default, but now we are up against entrenched institutions who may or may not support monero and have a whole lot of new money to fight it.
the solution? disregard derivatives and anti-monero media, follow only the tech and usage, acquire at spot and store OFF EXCHANGES. the game cannot and will not go on forever.
the entities that priced (most of) us out of bitcoin will come to the same conclusion and attempt to price you out of monero too. at the VERY FUCKING LEAST i want EVERY SINGLE ANON to strive for 1.87 monero - this is 1/10-millionth of the network share, equivalent to 2.1 bitcoins equivalent share. if you're not a poorfag, try to acquire and hold 18.7 monero - this is the comfiest long with one of the best possible R/R's you'll ever have given global regulatory trends.
as always, do your own research, renounce the archons and their soul-contracts, smoke cannabis, and love thy neighbor.
I wish well upon you all.

>>28879794
use your own node. put the lmdb on a ssd. make sure the computer running the wallet software (verifying) isnt cpu limited

>>28879794
also
>initial
choose a restore height around the time you made the wallet. there is no need to verify blocks before your first transaction

>>28879287
Public nodes don't have any information about your wallet, you leak your IP but sometimes that's not relevant.
You can buy things with XMR, but if you do be ready to re stack using dirt old USD asap.
I don't mind storing the seed in an encrypted manner online. But the raw text should not see light of internet connectivity.

>>28879624
>That said, I don't use one. I use a fresh Linux VM with nothing installed on it except officials wallets.
Yeah, I feel this is pretty safe. Hardware wallets are pretty expensive in some countries too. The Linux VM method is way cheaper and still very secure.

>>28879794
>initial blockchain synch?
>initial
It's just one time, bro. It's gonna be alright. Otherwise, buy a SSD.

>>28879794
SSD is practically a must. Also, there is a torrent available of the chain to the nearest day or week I believe. If you have an SSD I would just let it run overnight and it should be fine unless your firewall is gay. Otherwise, here you go: https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw

You’re looking for moonboys in the wrong place.

>>28880626
you can also run a pruned node but then you'll be supporting the network less

>>28880424
who or what maintains the price peg?
what happens if someone with a significant network share in XHV were to mint/burn xUSD at a whim? are their any further implications?
as soon as you answer these questions you will realize why that coin is doomed.

What's the best way to get XMR on Binance as I can't buy directly with EUR?
EUR > BNB/BTC/ETH/BUSD/USDT > XMR

>>28883618

EUR>USDT> XMR

Isn't this possible?

>>28883618
I believe BNB has less fees since its their product
I use kraken personally

so uhhh is there a loli version of monero chan?
asking for a friend

How does price fluctuation a crypto relate to the stock market?, I want to gather up a bag of XMR. what time of day is best?

>>28883745
Alternatively, I might just load up on some BTC as well and convert only part of it

>>28883851
1/2

>>28883851
2/2

>>28884035
>>28884110
you dropped this, king

>>28883984
exactly at 4:20pm
or any other time of day, since it's literally random

>>28883984

depends on your time horizen. if you plan to hold for years then buying at 230 compared to 250 is not going to make much difference. I would look for a chart based entrance or breakout if I did not have a full position

>>28884136
Those aren’t actual monero Chan originals. It’s a photoshop of a character from an anime.
And also loli is gay and not based.

bitcoinchan is the loli of crypto. monerochan is stable, mature, and professional

>>28884389
kek
not into this lol shit but he asked for it

>>28884470
Hey anon are you the original xmr chan artist or are you a new anon?

>>28866162
>You can charge juicy premiums to BTC hodlers desperate to get into XMR and avoid the IRS. They won't be able to use regular exchanges due to KYC so atomic swaps will be their only option.

Convince buyer atomic swaps aren't acceptable because they wont be able to prove transaction history. Fortunately you knew this was coming so you preppared wallets with 1-100 XMR that have sat dormant since 2015.

Sell wallet seeds and keys with transaction history showing HODLed XMR to wallets that have been sitting dorment for some time for an additional additional markup.

Send bitcoin first buddeh.

all exchanges do, since they're required to do so
if you dont want it check kycnot.me

It hurts to try thinking about ways to convert millions of $ worth of XMR>LTC back to fiat tho

>>28879287
Public's aren't that risky but definitely worth hosting your own priv
Make sure it's a reputable seller
GPG to encrypt and overwrite the unencrypted file with RANDOM binary data, not NULL binary data

>>28871746
>the government offering a bounty to break monero just proves the whole fucking point of this currency existing
The thing I find hilarious is this is basically illegal given some of the vague verbiage in anti-hacking laws. It's like busting into people's private bank accounts. Absolutely oppressive.

>>28860056
I just started mining XMR. My hash rate is 4.70 KH/s. Is this considered good?

I'm used to mining Bitcoin and this is the first time I'm mining XMR. I don't need it to be that profitable because XMR is actually inherently more valuable to me but I'd rather not lose money...

>>28886819
kucoin don't my friend

>>28888086
Way faster than me. My piece of shit laptop gets 300 hash/s lol, you're doing over 15x my hash rate.

>>28880027

>>28888539
I have been balls deep into BTC so i have good hardware lol But still, is it profitable for you?

>>28888086
>Is this considered good?
pretty good yea but depends on which CPU you're using ofc
>I'd rather not lose money
if you got a good GPU too, mining ETH is more profitable
I use nicehash and flip everything to XMR with the built in exchange

Just dropped an undisclosed amount on XMR. Did I buyed the dip?

>>28886998
sell it for cash of craigslist type websites at top of hysteria cycle. works every time

>>28888086
I get 12k H/S with a ryzen 5900x

>>28888086
also, I'm mining eth wtih a 3090 on the side and turning it into XMR. Computer stays usuable that way

>>28888662
No, but I am not doing it to profit. I run a public XMR node with my laptop and use it for nothing else, so I figure I may as well mine to offset as much of the power cost as I can.

When I started, I did a calculation and was like "At current prices and hash rate I'm only going to make $3 a year."

A little while later and just because of XMR price going up, my income from it is now expected to be like $30 a year or something like that.

But I guess if I hold and it keeps going up, it could retroactively be like earning $30,000 a year lol. You never know.

What happens when Monero is banned and VPNs are banned/compromised? It will happen sooner than you think.

>>28890011
Can't ban math. See nigeria. Ted was right. Technology is an unstoppable force.

>>28890011
Nothing, except the value will go up due to it being less obtainable.

>>28889197
I'm going to put 90% of my disposable income in XMR for as long as I can. IDC if it crabs.

>>28890011
The same thing that happened when drugs were banned - the price goes way up.

Too bad it won't happen though.

>>28890249
>The same thing that happened when drugs were banned - the price goes way up.

Indeed. Demand + scarcity = NUMBER GO UP

>>28889546
Literally 18.7? I consider myself a poorfag, and my initial investment pretty much put me there.

>>28889155
Thanks, frens, this is a good idea. Only a shame that ETH is supposedly so crappy with its gas fees.

>>28889167
That's a risk I'm willing to take. XMR is so undervalued its unreal to me, to be honest.

>>28890435
18.7 will be 1/1millionth of the network share, or the equivalent of 21 bitcoins' network share, until 2038. See: monero.supply
in the absolute trough of shit that is /biz/ in 2021, I urge all decent anons to strive for the 1.87-18.7 coldstorage monero long if they can afford to do so. Do not sell your freedom for peanuts!
