Welcome to the Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's leading decentralized P2P privacy cryptocurrency!

Monero is secure, low-fee, and fungible, meaning users can send XMR around the globe despite corrupt governments or broken financial systems. Innovative privacy features such as Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses, and Ring CT ensure that Monero's blockchain is obfuscated -- In other words, the financial history of all Monero users is encrypted from the prying eyes of adversaries on a public blockchain, with transactions being visible only by a user willingly providing a view key.

Monero has also improved upon the scaling downsides of current popular cryptocurrencies. To avoid high fees, dynamic block size ensures that the size of the blocks will increase as the amount of transactions increases. Further, the mining network algorithm RandomX establishes that anybody with a CPU can participate in mining, preventing the ASIC miner domination that creates a high barrier to entry. Lastly, the mining network will be preserved by Tail Emission -- instead of the block reward falling to zero like with Bitcoin, the block reward gradually approached 0.6 XMR in June 2022, where it will forever stay. This constant linear inflation means the inflation rate will asymptotically go to zero while continuing to provide an incentive to miners to maintain the network.

If you still have questions, feel free to ask and a MoneroChad will be with you shortly.

START MINING IN P2POOL
>START MINING IN P2POOL

>START MINING IN P2POOL

P2Pool combines the advantages of pool and solo mining; you still fully control your Monero node and what it mines, but you get frequent payouts like on a regular pool.

P2Pool has no central server that can be shutdown/blocked because it uses a separate blockchain to merge mine with Monero. There's no pool admin that can control what your hashrate is used for or decide who can mine on the pool and who can't. It's permissionless!

Decentralized pool mining (P2Pool) is pretty much the ultimate way to secure a PoW coin against 51% attacks. When P2Pool reaches 51% of the total network hashrate, Monero will be essentially invulnerable to such attacks.


>YOU CAN NOW MINE IN P2POOL DIRECTLY FROM THE MONERO GUI WALLET!

If you have a PC or laptop:

1. Download Monero GUI

2. Pick 'Advanced' mode

5. Once sync'd, go to Advanced->Mining and pick 'P2Pool'. If you have a laptop or low-end PC (~50 kH/s) pick "Mini" pool, else pick "Main"

OTHERWISE SWITCH TO A SMALLER POOL, IT TAKES YOU 30 SECONDS AND YOU CAN JUST SOURCE A DIFFERENT CONFIG FILE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FUCK UP YOUR EXISTING ONE.

Many inexperienced miners think that big pools give better profits which is not the case. Your profits in the long run depend ONLY on your hashrate, NOT on the pool's hashrate.

>The irrational exuberance of cryptocurrency investors

Irrational exuberance is characterized as a hype-fueled mania that causes investors to massively overestimate an asset's real-world value. In this delusional state, investors tend to become so smitten with expectations of greater profits that they disregard the assets’ potentially weak fundamentals and drink the proverbial Kool-Aid.

This then leads to them recklessly and repeatedly buying into whatever asset is currently rising in the charts, thereby triggering and/or sustaining an asset bubble. This bubble is kept inflated solely by the mass delusion that the market price is justified and will only keep going up in future, effectively becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. Note that bubbles can last for years, especially in an age of easy investor on-boarding. However, when history inevitably repeats and the bubble bursts that optimism invariably turns into panic as the asset crashes back down to its real-world value.

In finance, the "greater fool theory" suggests that one can sometimes make money through the purchase of overvalued assets—items with a purchase price drastically exceeding the intrinsic value—if those assets can later be resold at an even higher price.

In this context, one "fool" might pay for an overpriced asset, hoping that he can sell it to an even "greater fool" and make a profit. This only works as long as there are enough new "greater fools" willing to pay higher and higher prices for the asset. Eventually, investors can no longer deny that the price is out of touch with reality, at which point a sell-off can cause the price to drop significantly until it is closer to its fair value, which in some cases could be zero.

This effect is often further exacerbated by herd mentality, whereby people hear stories of others who bought in early and made big profits, causing those who did not buy to feel a fear of missing out.

>No tail emission = Bitcoin is fucked

Right now, at the current hashrate, miners break even on energy expenses at a BTC price of $22K. Post 2024 halving, that break even point, at the current hashrate, goes up to $44K. If BTC does not go to $44K, miners will be unprofitable and hashrate will have to drop (miners going out of business) to reduce the cost of securing the network, also reducing the security.

If you know anything about the power of 2, you already know that things get very big, very fast. If we’re 3 halvings into 32 total halvings, then the estimated break even point for miners at current hashrate going into the last halving would be:

$22,000 * (2^27) = $2,952,790,016,000 per BTC

$2,952,790,016,000 per BTC * 21 Million total Bitcoin = $62,008,590,336,000,000,000 BTC Market Cap

The block rewards shrink so fast that after enough halvings Bitcoin would eventually require a $2.95 trillion price per Bitcoin and a $62 quintillion market cap to sustain the current cost of $7.15 billion/year.

Even if these numbers were somehow realistic, can you imagine securing a $62 quintillion market cap on only $7.15 billion/year of hashrate? LOL.

And that’s assuming energy costs do not increase at all over the next 120 years, which they will.

So basically BTC mining will eventually become so unprofitable the hashrate (network security) will shrivel up UNLESS it is subsidized by BTC transaction fees.

Hello guys. I have two questions:

1. The site says mining is just "checking the validity of the transactions", or something like that. ¿How does that make you more monero? If it does make you more monero, then

2. What stops everyone in the world from mining, essentially inflating the currency?

Also not a question, but why do you think that the "monero community" chooses to represents themselves with drawn lust? Thanks.

Mining isn't literally mining and making it out of thin air - in a short it's getting paid for checking if someone is allowed to make a transaction (if they can afford it). All transactions include a small fee that goes to miners. (BTC and ETH have them too but XMR's fees are much lower)

Technically checking (didn't you mean syncing?) the blockchain will happen every time you startup your local node - but it shouldn't take very long. For me it's 30s at max. It all depends on how often you start your wallet. If you do it everyday, it should take a few seconds, but if you open it up once a month then your node needs to sync all the operations that have happened on the chain in the month.

However, the first run of a local node can take a very long time because it's downloading the whole blockchain by default (I think it's ~90GB now)

Why did/does all the shady politicians and banks choose bitcoin to create "stable" coins and fraud exchanges around to launder all their money around when they could just use monero? Really they only had bitcoin and mt gox up to 2014 or so then xmr was around since 2014. The '17 run was just ICO and defi trash then '21 was just PPP and covid waterfall. Are they just afraid of hitting some buttons and making a xmr worth 20k in a few months?

Its profitalbility depends on the cost of electricity for you. This is for right now.
Then you also have to keep in mine that when you mine, you are taking a bet: should I spend x$ to be able to mine xXMR if I bet the price of XMR will be x$ in the futur ?

To be honest it's usually cheaper to spend 100$ on XMR right now, expecting its value will increase instead of spending 100$ on electricity for mining. If you lose money while mining it's better for you to buy as you'll have more XMR.

But by mining you will have: fresh XMR (not bought with money or crypto - both can be traced) and you'll help the network. So you will basically become a Monero-chad.

How does mining work? First of all, a node puts bunch of waiting transactions into a block, and adds a reference to the previous block (hash of previous block). To make this block valid, the goal is to make it so the hash of the block is above a number called difficulty. For that, there is another field in the block, called nonce. The node (or the miners connected to it) repeatedly tries many random values as nonce until the hash is larger than the difficulty. This is the part that takes effort. This is the "proof of work". Eventually it succeeds in finding a good nonce and it can now publish this as the next block on the network. The target difficulty is updated each block such that a valid block is found on average every 2 minutes. If your proposed block is below the target difficulty, other nodes will reject it.
Let's say suddenly huge amount of miners join the network, they find a block in 1 minute. Then the difficulty is raised and now it again takes 2 minutes. Vice versa with reducing difficulty
Here's a very good video about Bitcoin that explains the basics. The biggest difference with Monero mining is instead of the amount of leading zeros in Bitcoin, in Monero it's block hash being above the difficulty number.

Just to be clear, even if you transmit a transaction completely in the clear, nobody knows the addresses and the amounts, except for the sender and the recipient who can decrypt them. Even the recipient doesn't know the sender address BTW, just that an amount is intended for his wallet.

You are falling for the "perfect privacy is possible" meme. Overall, if you use Monero you are far above the low hanging fruit of people who use Bitcoin. You can still fall to various attacks from metadata leaking but that affects every tool. On a network level you can run your own node or use tor, this effectively prevents the attacks you bring up.
There is a reason nobody has been traced on the dark net using Monero. Is simply much harder and LE and chain analysis instead spend their resources tracing Bitcoin users.

You didn't need to do it that way but if you imported it correctly that's fine. So now you must be running a node. The node downloads(you already did) and verifies the whole blockchain from the start. That takes a lot of time. The important thing is random read speed, so a fast SSD is the best to speed up the process. It can be the difference between hours of sync vs 10+ days. To be clear, you don't need to run a node just to use Monero. Here are the modes you can operate on:
>Full node
You store the whole blockchain which is more than 150GB right now. The best option for your privacy and offers most contribution to the network. Your wallet connects to your own node.
>Pruned node
You store only a random 1/3 portion of the blockchain (>50GB) and read the rest from the other nodes as it's required. Otherwise it's a regular node and can do everything a full node can.
>Just a wallet
You're not running a node, just a wallet. You connect to other nodes and scan through the blockchain looking for transactions that belong to you. This is a bit less private and a lot less decentralized. If you haven't run the wallet for a long time, you will have to wait a while for the wallet to to scan the new blocks and get synchronized, so keep the wallet open often.
>MyMonero/Edge
You give your wallet's view key to a server and that server scans the blockchain for you. No need to wait for a sync that way. Of course you have to trust the server with your keys (bad). I guess you should be able to self host such a server and that would be fine but I don't know much about that.

a classical argument shills use against privacy is: "perfect privacy isn't possibly, so why bother? just be a good goy, use bitcoin and put all your coins in KYC exchange, government already knows everything about you"

if the government would already know everything about everyone, they wouldn't need to ban Tornado
in reality mass surveillance is based on automatic surveillance, even the major mass surveillance states like US only employ a tiny amount of people that do targeted surveillance

Monero prevents both the automatic surveillance and many of targeted attacks, sure NSA could launch a sophisticated targeted attack against you using tons a manpower, but they wouldn't able to do it on large scale

What metadata are you worried about? Concrete examples please. Only thing that's revealed is the fact you use Monero. In case of using it over Tor/I2P, it's revealed you use those instead.

please god do not put your monero wallet on windows or anything that is your daily driver (especially not windows). You can run a node there if you want, but don't have a wallet open on it.

download tailsOS on a thumb drive, enable persistent storage, restart tails and then put monero GUI or feather wallet on the persistence. remember to write down your seed (you may even want to create a new wallet on tails and move your monero over there because windows is backdoored spyware).

when you want to use your monero you can connect to a remote node over Tor (or, run your own node and connect to it).

there are other solutions you could use but just never have your wallet stored on your daily driver and never have it stored on any closed source device.

The hierarchy goes like wallet (starts with 4) -> account (8) -> subaddress (8).
Subadresses are so you can give out different addresses for different cases and they don't get tied together.
Accounts if you also want to partition the funds as viewed in your wallet. If you don't care about that just use subaddreses and the default account will be your only account.

Hang out and play Texas Hold'em with fellow MoneroChads safely over an anonymized network and hopefully win some XMR along the way!

To accommodate players from different time zones, Poker Night commences at 6:00 PM Sydney, Australia time and then rolls westward throughout the day, so in effect the entirety of Saturday = Poker Night, feel free to drop in at any time!

>STARTS
06:00 PM Sydney
10:00 Berlin
04:00 AM New York City


>WHERE
Poker Night alternates between Poker Club and XMR Poker to give both services traffic. This week Poker Club is the designated host while XMR Poker is the backup should there be technical issues or all tables reach capacity.

Neither service requires JavaScript.

>Poker Club

>XMR Poker
http://xmrpoker3icphjr7c6dgct3by44ph4xvxrds4jzwjkjh7h2owdf6icyd.onion

Be sure to read the guides on either site to familiarize yourself with how things work.


>REQUIREMENTS
You will obviously need to download and install the Tor Browser to access the darknet.

https://www.torproject.org/download/

You will also need an unknown amount of XMR to play. Don't stake more than you can afford to lose.

Optionally, you can voice chat and coordinate over Jitsi for a more authentic social experience. Jitsi is FOSS and end-to-end encrypted.

https://meet.jit.si/
https://desktop.jitsi.org/Main/Download.html


Note that unlike with clearnet gaming, playing over Tor with Monero is by far the comfiest way to play because your identity, IP address and money trail cannot be established so you don't have to worry about legalities or about the tax man coming to collect his share of your winnings.

Good luck!!

I'm a neet with a small amount of captial and I want start a site for selling monero

Ive been trying to buy some monero to pay for a vpn and I'm really surprised with how hard it is to do with a credit card. Only thing I can find is coin swaps and even they seem to be making large margins. There are services offering to sell me monero for cash but they want me to make an account and most don't even look like they pay out to wallets.

Is the fiat to monero market being ignored? Is there something I'm missing ? Would people on here use a credit card/fiat to monero site you didn't need an account for , or is monero just for crypto bros who have lots of coins to exchange?

>> No.52618176

LocalMonero is the best for no KYC. Still need an account but I think it's just an email and password. You can also look at kycnot.me for other suggestions.

I never understood the point in this. Tor is free and better than a VPN.

>>52618675
>>52618694
If you're using a credit card you are already getting KYCd so what is the point it doing it outside of an exchange? Maybe you could do a bank transfer to someone on local monero or bank transfer someone for another coin and swap to monero? That MIGHT be able to hide you if you use tor and the person you buy from never reveals they sold something to you.

I use it for my torrent server. Tor is great from a security perspective but it's awful compared to openvpn or wireguard in regards to speed with a good server . I want to download at 1gbit sec and Vpns are more than good enough to hide from copyright trolls .

>Bank exchange
>Look through sellers and try to find one online who will trade

This is what I'm talking about I feel there is a gap in the market for an easy monero purchase site. Pre paid cards can be bought in lots of places for cash for a hyper secure transaction but since monero transactions are private I don't see the risk in people just using their regular cards.

There are anti money-laundering laws that prevent you from just starting up an exchange like that without enforcing some form of KYC. You're basically asking to get raided by the feds. Also, I think that people in crypto have trouble doing credit card processing because most banks classify any involvement with crypto as "high risk" and will basically refuse service over it. The guy that runs KF alleged that he couldn't get any bank in America to give him a business account because the front page of his website has crypto donation addresses.

If you want to participate in the network, you should run a node. A full node will take about 150GB, a pruned node would be about 60GB. Owning XMR does not help the network unless you move it around regularly, which will give the network more decoy transactions.

The node and wallet run separately. If you download the Monero Wallet GUI, it can run in "simple" mode which will download the blockchain to your device and run it while your wallet is open. I personally like to run mine on a different computer and use it as a "remote node". If you aren't good with computers, you may not want to run a node until you learn more about Monero and how it works

>tor
tor is not really made for torrenting. They themselves say this and discourage against using tor for torrenting.
With Tor, users are effectively give no bandwith back to the general Tor network. With i2p, every user is also a router by default, and share a portion of their available bandwidth for routing packets within the i2p network. This results in a positive feedback loop in which the more users there are in i2p, the larger the total bandwidth of the network. Good for torrenting. See this vid for more explanation:
https://piped.video/watch?v=KhG29riqVUE

>VPN
VPNs can't be trusted. Your internet traffic is completely visible to them, even though they claim they don't (((keep logs))). Furthermore, you have to (((pay))) to VPN companies to use them. I2P is an open source protocol free to use, free to share.

Regardless, the majority of us are here because Monero represents what cryptocurrencies should be. Or rather, it represents the bare minimum of what they should be. The point of cryptocurrencies isn't to create an investment vehicle which is why price speculators are often ostracized by the community. As long as the currency matches the inflation of the US dollar over the long term it is doing it's job. It doesn't need to go to the moon and hit $100000 to be an effective currency.
