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

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 shut down/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. Once P2Pool reaches & maintains 51%+ of the total network hashrate, Monero will be essentially invulnerable to such attacks.

Although many inexperienced miners think that bigger pools give better profits, this is absolutely NOT the case. Your profits in the long run depend ONLY on your hashrate, NOT on the pool's hashrate.


>YOU CAN NOW MINE IN P2POOL FASTER & EASIER THAN EVER BEFORE WITH THE GUPAX GUI. USES TRUSTED REMOTE NODES BY DEFAULT!!!!

1. Download the *bundled* version of Gupax for your OS here: https://gupax.io/downloads/
2. Extract somewhere (Desktop, Documents, etc)
3. Launch Gupax
4. Input your Monero address in the [P2Pool] tab. USE A SEPARATE MINING-ONLY WALLET!
5. Select a Community Monero Node that you trust, although you can and should run your own node if possible.
6. Start P2Pool
7. Start XMRig

START RUNNING AN I2P NODE
>START RUNNING AN I2P NODE

>START RUNNING AN I2P NODE


>What is I2P?

I2P is an anonymized P2P overlay network akin to the Tor network but with several key advantages over it. I2P is now replacing Tor as the go-to darknet and will play a pivotal role in growing the Monerocentric economy.


>Why should I care? Why should I run a node?

Increasing shadow economy adoption and the proliferation of an XMR-only standard are what guarantee that XMR will have a floor and won't also crash to zero when the Crypto Casino finally implodes. XMR's long-term outlook is therefore *strongly* correlated with the darknet, you may have already noticed how the number of TXs begins to drop whenever the glowies attack & cripple the Tor network, which underscores just how critical it is that the darknet wins this war against the State. Make no mistake: if the darknet is allowed to die XMR will take a devastating hit as well.

So by running an I2P node you are helping to make the network Monero thrives in that much more robust while also enraging glowies in the process. Win-win!


>OK, but how difficult is it? Do I have to store GBs worth of data like when running an XMR node?

It is literally as easy as installing an Android app and no, there are no storage requirements, the node only consumes some bandwidth.


>Cool, I'm sold. What do?

If you have no interest in browsing the darknet yourself then the simplest solution is to install & run the I2Pd Android app on any compatible (Android 4.1+) device, ideally a TV box since they don't require recharging and are permanently online. But any old phone or tablet is fine too. Make sure you activate "start on boot" in the settings.

Otherwise just install the appropriate desktop client and leave it running.

>Bitcoin's price = NOT the result of organic real-world supply & demand = NOT sustainable

Wash trading has been artificially driving BTC's insane price action since the first major spike in 2013.

>Wash Trading 101
1. create/maintain the illusion of high volume
2. wait for poor unsuspecting fools to FOMO in
3. dump at a fat profit and leave them holding the bag

When the supply of gullible fools finally runs out, the entire scheme implodes.

TL;DR: exciting price action means nothing in an unregulated market rife with such manipulation, real-world utilization is the ONLY reliable metric of actual value.


>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 BTC = $62,008,590,336,000,000,000 BTC Market Cap

The block rewards shrink so fast that after enough halvings BTC would eventually require a $2.95 trillion price per BTC 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

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

Per "unit" of security yes. Monero less secure than Bitcoin, having lower block subsidies + fees. Makes it great for settling small payments. But not yet secure enough to settle large amounts without a big increase in fees or price of XMR which is why I think price discussion (moonfags) is good. Need a greater price for more economic activity to settle on Monero faster. Plus price action would draw in more users, who would then be incentivized to use Monero for real economic activities.

>>57010057
Firstly, Monero is more secure than Bitcoin taking per unit of network subsidy. Monero's hashrate is greatly more expensive when compared to Bitcoin due to the latter being overrun by cheap ASICs. This results in the effect of Monero being disproportionately secure, despite having a fraction of the hashrate and the network subsidy. But you are correct in the assessment that this is not related to the funding model, but rather the hashing algorithm's efficiency.
Furthermore, inflation or high fees is a false dichotomy for Monero. It is true for Bitcoin, since there is a cap to the transactions. If transaction fees were to replace the network subsidy, there is only a set amount of spots available to meet the demand. Now that is not a problem for Monero since block sizes can expand if the people so demand. Monero can have a higher security budget without inflation and without high fees. But Bitcoin has to choose between one.
>Need a greater price for more economic activity to settle on Monero faster. Plus price action would draw in more users, who would then be incentivized to use Monero for real economic activities.
Completely backwards. Market usage drives up the price, not speculation. This is false nu-maxi narrative since Bitcoin's price action has been overrun by speculation. What Monero needs is better utility, and that is happening. On-chain utility factors will improve with the introduction of Seraphis, and off-chain utility factors will explode 2024 with atomic swaps, DEXes, new wallets, node software, mining software and an overall better infrastructure to lean on. Monero's ecosystem and on-chain capacities will continue to improve with a mere 432 XMR per day getting mined and a bellow 1% yearly inflation. This is the orange-pill.

>> No.57011174

>>57010939
>>57011073
Hash rate is relative between blockchains given they use different algos/hardware. Eth doesn't even compare anymore because it's proof of stake which is inherently centralized.
I measure security as miner revenue (https://archive.is/u4Axq).). If miners are making $75k/day and someone wants to move $10 million worth of coins, there's a lot more incentive for them (or the feds) to attack the blockchain than if miners are making $50 million a day. The higher the miner profits from legitimately securing the chain, the more they are incentivized to legitimately secure the chain. Increasing the price of Monero would increase miner profits from tail emission (and probably indirectly from fees due to increased hype/network activity).

And I get that hardware should (probably) scale faster than demand for Monero's blockspace, so the dynamic blocksize model/low fees should work fine, provided the price of Monero grows enough for miner revenues to exceed the amount of value being transacted on chain.

And it depends, more people using Monero (higher velocity) would make the price more stable, but doesn't necessarily increase the price if flows are just USD->XMR->USD. You need people staying in Monero, saving in it, which is roughly equivalent to speculation (freezing circulating supply). And price driving activity isn't backwards. More use of XMR drives up price, increasing hype, drawing in a greater userbase, causing more use of XMR. Price->use and use->price can be complementary.

Hello Monero people. I am a BTC only guy but do appreciate the privacy and anonymity functions XMR offers.

If these things are targeting high capacity & memory density, then they're not going to be more cost effective than conventional HDDs, likely higher cost. Plus they're spinning disks and you need SSDs for Monero, so consumer price efficiency still isn't solved with HAMR.

You should, anon. Even if you never touch the darkmarkets, having a tor email and pgp keys are a must if you're going to be even a little bit serious about holding/using monero. Get F-Dried if you have an android, or download the Tor browser for comp. If on android, use F-droid to download Orbot, a Tor-vps for your apps. Then download cakewallet/monerujo/mysu (for hot wallets). Go into Orbot and set it to select F-droid for one of its apps before downloading any apps off it. I recommend Monerujo if you dont care about how fast a non-tor connected wallet loads the blockchain, or Mysu if you want a wallet with a built-in native Tor (selected in options).

>eliminating bot miners
Why? Ethically one may cry about them but objectively for the network they are yet another decentralized party to the pie.

>>57010608
Any not-too-shit CPU. Needs 256 KB of L2 cache and 2 MB of L3 cache per 1 mining thread. Needs at least 2.25GB RAM. As a general rule, the older the CPU, the worse is the hash per watt efficiency. I mine with my Ryzen 3600 for about 7400h/s. I live in a shit hole country where I actually turn a few cents per day profit after the electricity costs. I think of it like a little 100W heater that pays for itself. Also I already run some self-hosted server stuff on the machine so effectively the would be cost is even less for me. Xmrig runs at the lowest priority.
https://xmrig.com/benchmark/

To help the network:
-Run a node. If you're short on storage, a pruned will use 1/3. 200GB for a pruned should last a long while.
-Run p2pool. A decentralized mining pool.
-Mine to it with xmrig. Basic architecture: One or more devices run their own xmrig, connect to one p2pool, which connects to one node.

More:
-Sell your shit on MoneroMarket. Before buying something, check there.
-If you use VPN buy Mullvad with Monero. If you use VPS buy them for monero on Cockbox, Kyun, (others?)
-Propose to exchange between cash and monero on LocalMonero.

>> No.57030912

>>57030689
Regarding bot miners, their costs are zero so they can sell at any price, artificially suppressing miner revenues, suppressing security in terms of $/block settled, and making mining less cost effective for participants who care about Monero and want to mine from home.
It'd be like Amazon subsidizing miners who use AWS, at the detriment of home miners who care about the network (and are less likely to dump their XMR the second they get it).

7-day average is 5%. On one hand the Monero txs are probably of a lower value. On the other, XMR's mcap is only 0.37% of Bitcoins', so Monero's on chain volume relative to market cap is probably higher.

>>57035092
I've not completely thought it out yet, but on one hand you do have more miners. But on the other, they can mine when it would be otherwise uneconomical to do so, pushing out "legitimate" miners and lowering security in terms of miner revenue, since any revenue, even $0.01/day, is still a net positive for bot miners.
Getting more liquidity for Monero (upcoming DEXs) would be good for increasing the total pool miners are dumping their coins into.

Gentleman, the game is on. Argentinians are looking for a currency and they can use whatever the hell they want. The USD already has the advantage since most Argentinians already have dollars reserves under the mattress, but still there aren't enough dollars to go around so people will start looking for something else.

These days, launching and running a DNM doesn't require any particularly complex know-how beyond web dev and server administration, Tor/I2P do most of the heavy lifting so as long as you haven't coded a bug-infested storefront and you know how to harden a Linux server, you're likely going to be fine as long as you don't get sloppy.

But yeah, I don't get the blatant lack of paranoia on his part, TradFi banking simply cannot be part of the equation when you're involved in a darknet criminal enterprise. Unless you want to get involved in money laundering, you simply gotta accept that you'll never be able to outright buy that mansion or Lambo with your profits and instead just be grateful that you never have to wageslave again.

Your gameplan should be:

- commit to a max 2-year market run
- never ship from the same location twice in a row
- keep a low profile, don't be seen living beyond your means
- be paranoid about all your online dealings, avoid posting on the clearnet altogether
- never involve banks
- store cashed-out profits in gold/silver

I do not think that's the case. Your node is just downloading data from other nodes, it is not allowing other nodes to pull data from it by default.

Check in and out peers on the monerod interactive CLI, by default you will get 0 in peers and only out peers.

lol when it comes to money, its guilty until proven innocent. Remember that they can demand you provide them with your viewkey to confirm your "I mined it all years ago" story, refusal to do so would be seen as suspicious and grounds for further investigation. So no banks.

Just accept you'll never be able to openly live a lottery winner's lifestyle and instead console yourself with the simpler, ultimately more rewarding pleasures in life.

How does it look when you go from living in your mom's basement to driving a Lexus all of a sudden? Optics matter, resisting the urge to flaunt your wealth is absolutely critical and could mean the difference between living happily under the radar and doing 10-20 years in the joint.
