Welcome to the Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's leading decentralized p2p privacy cryptocurrency!
Monero is secure, low-fee, and borderless, 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 (hidden tx amounts) ensure that Monero's blockchain is obfuscated -- 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 Monero user willingly providing a view key for a specific transaction.
Monero has also improved upon the scaling downsides of current popular cryptos. To avoid high fees, dynamic block size ensures that the size of the blocks will increase as the amount of txs 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 of 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 will gradually approach 0.6 XMR in May 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.
All are beautiful, but the one on the far right I find the cutest.
Levi Reyes
Nice, I am doing about $1 a day with a 3700X. Setup so it is not noticeable using the system for other things but ramp to 100% when the system is idle. Also recompiled the miner to kill the forced donation to the devs.
Nolan Clark
You might want to consider underclocking your CPUs while mining, there's probably a better sweet spot for efficiency than 100%.
Jonathan White
thanks.. i need to learn how to to this on linux
Eli Myers
what pool?
Oliver Myers
pretty good either with the recompiling of xmrig
>setup so it is not noticeable using the system for other things but ramp to 100%
This is with windows 10 I have the config for XMrig with priority set to 1 and background set to true. When a game or somthing starts using the CPU it cuts the miner back and gives higher prority programs what they need. Background just runs it in the background with no cmd visable.
David Allen
thanks, feel like a pleb on my linux mint sometimes
Oliver Gray
Not him but just join moneroocean.stream it's officially recommended by the getmonero.org website for privacy reasoning. It also charges 0.0% fees and has a miner that switches algorithm based on what is most profitable to mine for your specific PC and then pays you out in XMR. It's really good. I make about $7 a day this way.
Luis Thompson
Atomic swaps aren't going to come out in 2021 but atomic swaps are barely relevant. I don't know why so many people on Dab Forums seem so absorbed by it. XMR isn't going to get banned by any large country any time soon.
Elijah Cruz
Thanks Gents. Signing up now and re-syncing my super node.
Ryan Murphy
kek
David Hill
The gui wallet has been syncing for a week now and still isn't done. Every day I have half the blocks left that I had the day previous. It's like zenos tortoise. At least when I finally get to 4 blocks left to sync I'll know I only have a few days left to wait.
Andrew Davis
I see these posts on /k/ all the time, even when discussing something that obviously isn't illegal, but that feds don't like (like talk about explosives, perfectly legal to have the knowledge/discussion on, but feds dont want to get McVeighed so they shitpost those threads into oblivion). Seeing this (((post))) here, knowing there's actual shills browsing all parts of the chan, has convinced me to drop a shit ton of money into monero. If the feds don't want me doing it, it's because it's good for me and bad for them.
Carson Davis
Make sure to change the config.json file to re-benchmark your shit every time you restart the miner. This causes it to recalibrate and recalculate the most efficient miner. It switched algorithms three times because sometimes it's more profitable to mine one thing over the other even though your hash rate is lower.
Samuel Anderson
Yeah that happened to me as well the first time. That's okay once it's finished it will re-sync pretty quickly. I turned the wallet off for a day to see how big the gap would be and it was only a couple hundred blocks that was resynced within an hour so it's doable.
Grayson Ross
The accumulation period is almost over. Better to get in as soon as possible. More and more people are waking up to Monero's potential and are storing it off the exchanges. After May 2022 XMRChads will have a pleasant surprise.
Atomic swaps could be useful for whales as they can withdraw btc as xmr from their old accounts without revealing their identity and the fact that they have a lot more btc left. I still agree with you, the impact won't be as large as /xmr/ believes it is.
Ian Wilson
cpupower-cli or gui if you want
Christian Murphy
Is this decent or how can I optimize it better? I'm using xmring to ocean stream pool. Looks like thats in the US though judging by the 304ms. >AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor
Also, when are we going back to just saying the last two digits of a year? I've been waiting 20 fucking years to do that again and we're not even doing it.
Joshua Cook
I have been slowly selling other alts and currently 62 % in XMR.
Liam Johnson
If you want to optimize it follow the next steps:
>Go to moneroocean.stream >Download their miner from a link on their site that goes to a github page (xmrig mo1) >Download the SOURCE CODE not the executable/binaries >Open up Donate.h with a text editor of your choice >Change the two 1s with 0s (changes 1% fee to 0% fee) >Compile the edited XMRig-mo1 >Open config.json and add the pool url and your wallet >Enable benchmarking on every startup >Now run the miner >The miner is going to test all algorithms for about 20-30 minutes and pick out the one that your PC is best at mining while also calculating its profitability so that you will make the most $ per day. You will get paid out in XMR. So if it decided to mine ETH it will just swap it with someone that mined XMR or convert it into XMR for a paltry 0.6% fee if that option isn't available when you check out
>May 2022 I don't believe in this. The rewards are constantly dropping already. It's not a shocking moment where suddenly all rewards drop to 0.6xmr/block on may 2022 the reward is already only about 1xmr/block and diminishing daily until it goes to 0.6xmr/block.
Therefor there won't be a massive pump in may 2022. I never understood that logic.
>Atomic swaps could be useful for whales as they can withdraw btc as xmr from their old accounts without revealing their identity and the fact that they have a lot more btc left.
This. Atomic swaps are a pretty big deal for BTC as well, all the usual mixing protocols are inferior to cross-chain swapping with Monero.
>I still agree with you, the impact won't be as large as /xmr/ believes it is.
Could go either way. In any case, it will take a while to work out all the bugs, set up a swaps market and build liquidity. Once those are in place THEN we'll see.
CPU mining seems to be more energy efficient than GPU mining.
Camden Collins
The miner hashrate doesn't update instantly there is some lag in it. You can squeeze out a LOT MORE juice if you really go about tweaking it but it requires you to be somewhat tech savvy. There's only so much Dab Forums anons can do to help you before you reach a wall or you're basically letting us tweaking it for you. It took me a week of tweaking before getting to this hash rate though.
It is, I played with GPU mining but around 1KH/s is not an efficient use of a 5700XT.
Mine eth with GPU.
Jordan Lopez
Run a local node (takes a while so start doing it now). If you're not technical just download the GUI from getmonero or their github and generate a wallet. Send a small amount first to see if everything works and then send the rest.
I'm personally not a fan of hardware wallets but they are okay.
Andrew Brooks
XMR to me is looking extremely bullish right now. First serious upswing since previous (and first) ATH which doesn't appear to have reached maximum velocity yet. I predict we could get over $1000 around summer before a correction until next cycle
Not forgetting that it's become the coin of choice for the largest darknet drug market (and others following) last month. As summer approaches, restrictions ease and the online drug trade increases, usage of XMR will increase even further
Justin Martin
>May 22 Maybe after 2031? You know so there's no confusion whether someone meant to say the month of a certain year, or the day in a certain month?
Eli Flores
I'm not really a fan of price speculation. But if XMR is going to follow the same trajectory as BTC (first pump 200x previous ATH, second pump 20x previous ATH and currently at 2.5x previous ATH). Then Monero needs to pump to 20x their previous ATH which would be $8000.
I think short term inaccessibility to XMR for the average person is going to hamper pump material. I don't care because I am DCA in over the next 5 years anyway as I think it's a no-brainer and will eventually take over its role from bitcoin 2011-2015 where it was actually used as a currency on mainstream sites like steam and ordinary web stores. We're still a while away from that and only in the "dark web" phase right now.
Daniel Jenkins
That's what the ' is for. May '22, see? Easy. And in 2032 we can drop the ' to make it even easier (unless we get extra long months by then).
Adam Wright
The way you worded that sounded like you were talking about speech. And noone is going to say apostrophe out loud when speaking.
Jordan Sanders
Nothing happens in may 2022. Bitcoin has reward halvenings every 3-4 years. Monero doesn't and has a slowly decreasing reward pool that diminishes every block. In may 2022 it will have plumetted to 0.6xmr/block which is where it will stay for the rest of time.
Some anons are confused and think this will lead to a massive pump like in bitcoin but they don't understand that this is a gradual change already happening and not a sudden move so it is not going to impact valuation.
XMR is something you should be holding for the next 10 years. The market is irrational and thus current sudden increases and decreases in price aren't really relevant. Monero is going to grow in valuation over time on average. That is all that matters.
Well no one would say twenty-two out loud if they were talking about the day of the month either. They'd say twenty-second. >i got a doctor appointment >when? >22
Chase Evans
>tried to buy at $180 >Kraken blocked my transaction for paying a currency which doesn't match my region >go to Binance >price is now $250 >Binance blocks me from paying a currency which doesn't match my region >price is now $270 I'm about to go postal with these people.
Brody Ward
Why can't I receive Monero to a coinbase wallet?
Christopher Sullivan
If you're in the US, there's a seller on localmonero who accepts payment through transferwise, if you wanted to try that. Just be aware that you'll have to provide all of the same identification that you would for a KYC.
If you're not in the US, couldn't you just buy stablecoins to trade for Monero on Kraken/Binance?
Coinbase does not support Monero.
Cooper Phillips
xmr is what btc should have been
Lucas Sullivan
Coinbase doesn't support monero and most likely never will.
Yeah the exchanges are a bunch of faggots. But you should be DCAing into monero over the long term anyway. It's mathematically provable that it's more profitable to consistently buy a chunk of a volatile asset over a long period of time rather than going all-in early and waiting for prices to go up.
David Watson
yeah I know I'm buying monero because I believe in the coin but it makes me fucking furious that if these people were competent I'd have doubled my money by now
Bentley Anderson
>It's mathematically provable that it's more profitable to consistently buy a chunk of a volatile asset over a long period of time r Where? Every empirical study I have ever seen has shown that lump sum is better than DCA. DCA is now used instead to refer to being capital limited i.e. its part of your regular paycheck or whatever.
Joseph Nguyen
wanted to buy 100 at 140, bought small unknown amount instead, made profit but boy am i pissed
Kevin Thompson
threadly reminder that this is the perfect xmr-chan
Yeah people should have taken things to the logical conclusion with bitcoin. Bitcoin has a public ledger, Governments have access to KYC and can infer new information through heuristics. Take this to the logical conclusion and you'll realize every wallet,transaction and coin that EVER happened in BTC's history will eventually be mapped to every single individual involved with BTC.
Next take to the extreme what it means that an entire blockchain is mapped. It means that the government can treat it like normal assets and demand things like rollbacks, chargebacks, seizing of assets based on crime or wrongthink etc. At that point what is the difference between BTC and a normal bank account except that with BTC everyone knows exactly what you own and do with your money and the transaction costs are higher and it takes longer to exchange?
This is why Monero is going to win out in the very long term. You can't have a blockchain that is public or only optionally private. It has to be fully private from the ground up to actually succeed in the long term. You also need to keep rewarding miners for it to be mined forever but that is a whole other story.
My point is things like dark web/black market usage, atomic swaps or current price swings are completely irrelevant. The actual point of XMR is that it's currently the only long-term viable asset in existence in the cryptospace which is actually really weird when you think about it. That's why you slowly DCA over the long-term.
Tyler Lewis
Set up a monero wallet in Cake Wallet, buy LTC in exchange, and then exchange LTC for XMR in Cake Wallet
Brody Wood
I can explain it to you with bitcoin as an example. You're right that if you bought at the right early points and just held your max profit would be highest. However in reality you don't know where you stand in terms of valuation you only know that on average it's going to go up. Therefor from a mathematical standpoint you have to factor in all possible price points you could have bought in at and average that out and you'd see that it is actually lower than what the average person paid for their hold.
If you DCA'd into BTC from 2010 until now you'd have an average buy-in of $3000. But the median person that holds bitcoin nowadays paid $15,000. Clearly DCA would have benefitted everyone.
Similarly with XMR. You don't know valuation swings most people are going to go buy going up but if they DCA'd in they would over the long term paid way below the median.
So you have 2 options. Either do you go all-in now and take on the risk but also the reward. Or do you DCA in over time and ensure you'll buy well below the median mathematically.
Nolan Gomez
>couldn't you just buy stablecoins to trade for Monero on Kraken/Binance? yeah that's what I'm trying to do, but I work overseas remotely due to pandemic related issues and they're blocking me from paying from my overseas bank account because apparently the concept of people having more than one currency is just too fucking bizarre for people who hold 20 different shitcoins
>I cannot find a time frame where lump sum doesn't beat DCA on the same time frame except in the parabolic move back near the 2017 peak. Yeah I think you actually agree with me but I probably explained it wrong. I didn't mean the max reward you could get is highest when DCAing. I'm saying statistically you're more likely to buy below median compared to your peers if you DCA.
You are right about lump sum not beating DCA around the parabolic move back near 2017. Guess when most people bought their bitcoin? Guess when most people bought Monero last pump?
I'm not a gambling man I want to be assured to be below the median over the long term, not take on the risk of buying at the wrong moment. Stocks aren't as volatile as crypto is so DCA makes less sense there (the risk of lump sum is lower while potential reward is higher).
Jaxon Myers
It also means the GPUs I already own that are capable of mining will be worth more in the future.
Zachary Allen
how likely is it that we reach 2018 ATH?
Hunter Brooks
>Bitcoin has a public ledger, Governments have access to KYC and can infer new information through heuristics.
They've been doing just that and blacklisting Bitcoin addresses with increasing regularity since 2018.
>I'm saying statistically you're more likely to buy below median compared to your peers if you DCA. You clearly didn't read any of the links (there are dozens and dozens of these periods). You can certainly try to claim that you will "buy below median" but there is zero evidence for it. Across even different asset classes such as real estate or boomer rocks or collectibles. If you are actually long term bullish on ANYTHING the best time to buy, probabilistically speaking, is YESTERDAY. And the next best thing is today. And the last is tomorrow. It has the added benefit of removing all anxiety or management out of the equation too. Anything else is just several steps removed from trying to time a bottom or a top. >Stocks aren't as volatile as crypto Irrelevant. All that matters is if your bullish thesis is correct. If it isn't then DCA or lump sum wouldn't have mattered anyway.
I'll read your papers when I have the time to do so. If you're a regular to the thread then I'll be sure to tell that you were right and educated me in a future thread if this one isn't up by then.
where do you guys think we're headed? the only thing I don't like about all this is how you see the use of monero in transactions tank as it all goes up, and it's really the kind of coin that you really want to actually spend rather than just holding all day long
Transactions as a share of BTC transactions are still rising. What you mean is that transaction value is slowing down but that makes sense for coins that are actually used.
Because the drugs on WHM aren't suddenly going to double in price just because XMR doubled in price. They are valued in USD and paid for in XMR so the transaction value drops. But the actual transactions are still rising due to growing adoption.
Aiden Cooper
>start mining on moneroocean instead of minexmr >get 10x more shares at same hashrate dont know what the fuck is going on but i like it bros
so here's the deal about Monero government bans and widespread delisting of privacy coins is pretty much a certainty. not a question of if but of when it falls under the technical definition of money laundering so you don't even have to pass a new law to put a ban in place on the other hand XMR/privcoins are the only option when it comes to drug dealing and dark market commerce, which is a billion dollar industry so you have these 2 forces about to collide. alot of ppl with dump XMR once it gets banned and delisted while at the same time dark market connoisseurs will scoop up as much Monero as they can

Try to get verified with uphold. Based in london but they work with me in us. I buy coin from them,send to hotbit in china, then send to my wallets. Fees are not so bad. Well xmr price has increased and fee is flat at .0015 xmr so i guess fees will just increase T_T
Dylan Collins

Eli Green
>government bans and widespread delisting of privacy coins is pretty much a certainty what is tor what are torrents what is bitcoin you can't ban a peer to peer application. there is no precedent to banning an application like that. Decades of legal history support the right to encryption and privacy. This fud does not match with what governments are actually doing to Monero right now, which is studying it and not talking about it (i.e. giving Monero clout).
Thomas Richardson
I believe btc is not in a rational market because social judo. Everyone was sold hype and perfect money and number go up, when in reality it's flawed over hyped archaic and basically a gov endorsed honey pot. Do the opposite of what jews and the talking heads tell you.
at the end of the day you have to convert you XMR into real cash does your supermarket accept Monero? drug dealers need to eat too so if the guvmint bans XMR and no exchange is allowed to list XMR, how are you going to get get cash for your XMR? you'd probably have to go on some shady Russian exchange and swap your Moneros to BTC, pay an insane fee, move that BTC into an exchange and then cash out. point being is that no retail investor would ever want to hold XMR after a ban, only criminals and darknet junkies
Cameron Brown

Andrew Reyes
>so if the guvmint bans XMR and no exchange is allowed to list XMR and yet again, you are jumping to a conclusion that has literally no basis with reality. Governments are not going to ban Monero. There is no precedent to what you are talking about. If there is, then please, enlighten me. You are starting the question at this bizarre hypothetical that brainlets have painted for Monero, despite not actually understanding the lapses in logic that got you there in the first place. In other words, you are falling for the exact propaganda that governments want you to fall for, because governments know that they have absolutely no way of stopping Monero. Why else would the recent fincen documentation mention Monero the second most out of any crypto without mentioning anything about it being illegal? Why else did Bitcoin not get banned when it was predominately used in the dark net markets (and still is, for what it's worth, despite the recent surge in monero useage)? etc etc
Anthony King
Dude, shut the fuck up, you’re a faggot that thinks in binary. There will always be an easy way to exchange into and out of monero. You sound like such a whiny little faggot, do you know that? I swear to god I recognize your faggotry by now.
Gavin Fisher
You must not have been around between 2011-2015 when bitcoin was actually used to buy stuff. Yeah you could buy groceries with bitcoin back then. The transaction fees became too large for that to continue but Monero is designed to lower all that. It's very possible Monero is going to be used like bitcoin in this regard. Bitcoin was first used on the dark web then online merchants and finally physical merchants. In that order it was also phased out first physical stopped accepting bitcoin then online merchants and finally the dark web when it switched to monero.

Imagine what happens when theres regulatory clarity via the perkins paper and coinbase lists it Just as transactions are at ath And the entire darknet depends on it And family offices start recommending it as a hedge And the emission curve crashes to 0.6
It will be every moon btc ever had compressed into one 4 month period Its time to start believeing
It's just a natural consequence of Monero outperforming the market. It's only natural that over time it will attract people only in it for the pump that don't care about the philosophy behind it all as well as fudders trying to make the price go down and to justify their own mistake of not buying monero when they could.

Colton Thompson
short positions can stay open without time limit. The anual interest for 0.002% daily is 0.73%, for 0.006% it's 2.2%, so it's basically free. Difference between longs and shorts is only 3200 XMR, so the volume is insignificant too. I don't think shorters have a huge impact on price

Already surpassed BitcoinSV mcap. I know saying monero will surpass Bitcoin is hopium because legacy trumps fundamentals, but when will monero surpass this shitcoin?
I need to buy XMR from ETH or BTC whenever I do. I find it annoying as hell because I lose some with gas fees alone, but it's the only option as I have the same issue you do.
Robert Campbell
I truly believe Monero has a true shot of displacing bitcoin with this as my reasoning This is not in a hopium way but in a way where I'm a holder of BTC and basically don't feel comfortable holding it in the long term because of these privacy issues. Only reason I'm holding on to it for now is to have a diverse portfolio to leverage risks against each other. I'm very slowly moving out of BTC and into XMR though.
Hunter Morales
As a PC gamer that's been looking for a new card for a while, this article fills me with a sliver of hope.
>I truly believe Monero has a true shot of displacing bitcoin
If Monero can displace Bitcoin on the darknet based on fundamentals then there's no reason why it couldn't eventually displace Bitcoin on the clearnet based on fundamentals, its just a question of WHEN fundamentals will start to matter more than hype.
Because when you take away all the hype and hot air, what is actually left to prop BTC up?
Don't worry about the price. This is the most undervalued crypto imo.
Owen Sanders
It's so funny how obvious dynamic block size and tail emission is as a solution to these high fees. We can only tell the btc and eth maxis so much but they will continue to hand wave the problem away until they can't ignore it. Oh well.
20% is reasonable amount. Don't know about other coins to give you advice. However the defi market seems inflated by hype and unless you absolutely believe in the long term use I'd trade a part of it
It's an irrational bull market. Prices can go every direction with no real guarantees.

just look at the fucking btc and eth fees right now. darknet will 100000% switch to monero only
10000%
Brandon Gonzalez
I think the idea is that lower rewards + more interest in mining due to increased adoption / popularity = more miners competing for a smaller reward = pumping price because otherwise it's not worth to mine & secure the network... Yeah, not 100% sure about this, but I think that's the idea.

I'm a miner myself. The block rewards are about 0.9-1.0 XMR per block right now it doesn't suddenly drop down to 0.6. It slowly goes down every 2 minutes from its current reward to 0.6 where it stops dropping permanently. It makes no rational sense for the price to go up on may 2022.
Austin Lee
The other night I needed to love money between exchanges. Eth and btc were both $25 estimated fees. LTC was barely 25 cents.
Juan Baker
I understand it's not a sudden drop, and it won't be a sudden raise too. The specific date of May 2022 is supposed to warn people here that getting in before that is nice. If May 2022 has any effect on price it's going to be purely psychological, agreed.
Aaron Harris
eth fees fucking me everytime i want to buy monero with my DAI
The reason the beginning of tail emission matters is because it is a novel solution that has not been implemented yet. It’s the first time tail emission will be used to compensate miners.
Running a local node you need to open up ports on your router to allow traffic in, what are the security concerns with that? Also are you guys keeping your node one tor or vpn? Seems difficult to run a node on my main desktop. I do have the blockchain fully downloaded for my wallet but I haven’t opened ports on my router

kept this from a previous thread. may be helpful to you as a starting point
It's better to transact through your own node it outweighs a potential port invasion by far.
I'm mining on both my cpu and gpu and I highly customized XMRig mo1 to achieve that. I have a i7 6700k but overclocked to the absolute limit always on the brink of crashing but never actually crashing. And I have a RTX 3060ti which is the most power efficient mining card out there right now. The lowest hanging fruit is to download the XMRig-mo1 from moneroocean.stream, removing the 1% fee from donation.h compiling it and then slowly highly customizing the config.json. Doing that will already give you about 80% of your peak performance your hardware allows. Be sure to run two mining instances one for GPU one for CPU.
Leo Lee
Within a couple weeks
Jack Cooper
I'm already ripping my 3090 on ETH, then swapping it to monero. And I have already compiled XMRig without the donation. Maybe you'd get more monero if you just mine ETH with your GPU, but IDK.
honestly, I might delve deep into xmrig's code and fork it into something a little more special purpose. Might as well learn some cpp
user, I was getting 12k h/s with same cpu. Make sure you have XMP enabled. I was running it on arch linux, I have 3.2k mhz ram

This image has valid advice but the reality is that people over here overestimate their threat level by a lot. Maybe this is not something so bad because it's better to have more security than less security, but this also adds more layers of complexity that the user needs to consider. If you want to run a node 24/7 I recommend buying a Raspberry Pi4 with an external hard drive (2 TB should be enough for a few years) and running your node there. Then you can point all of your wallets - PC & mobile - to your own node. Overall security advice: people should encrypt their hard drives (BitLocker on Windows, LUKS on Linux) and use a Password Manager to store and generate complex, random passwords. Different from post-apocalypse doomers I also think it's ok if you backup your seed in your Password Manager even if it syncs with the cloud. I do believe Bitwarden and LastPass are good enough for 99.9999% of users and will save the lives of a lot of people on the long run, as people usually really suck at remembering and creating passwords.
xmr's pow algo is called randomx. it's designed for cpus and runs like shit on gpus.

big dip coming in 2 weeks, buy in then.

>raspberry pi The pi foundation recently, and silently, added microsoft's vscode repo to raspbian installs. Just use a pre-intel-me laptop with any OS advocated by the FSF.
Josiah Parker
delete i need to acumolate more
Levi Collins
I read about it a few days ago and remember reading someone saying it's very easy to remove this repo from raspbian? It surely fucking sucks that they're adding this bullshit by default, but if it's easy to remove it completely then I think it won't bother me very much.

It is, but how can you trust raspbian after a stunt like that? Especially for a 24/7 node that you may or may not have set up to automatically install security updates
Colton Carter
dident monoply already switch to xmr only?
Colton Gray
can't even imagine caring about something like that, you should be running a normal os instead of rasbian on it anyways. the real issue is the pozzed chinese cpus.

>overestimate their threat level by a lot paranoia doesn't work retroactively. If crypto does a 100x, the risk for a long term holder can, too
>Raspberry Pi4 just did today :) first adventure into linux, let's see how that goes
>encrypt their hard drives check (but I don't recommend bitlocker)
>Password Manager check
>backup your seed in your Password Manager not recommended, you just acces your pw manager far too often. Seperate encryption, if done well, is vastly superior.

Fair and true
Michael Stewart
embedding flash memory on a cpu is expensive, because it uses additional process steps. I consider it unlikely that they have anything embedded into them
Carson Reyes
Wow, thanks for letting me know! Next question, will mining XMR make my laptop a space heater?
I forgot about Monero since 2018. Celebrated this bullrun with a dnm shopping spree. Experience was so nice and read up on the state of Monero I am convinced this is the best actual digital currency for payments.
Gavin Cook
Yes and it's probably a bad idea. Laptops aren't meant for that, way too compact.

Right, however most people don't have any kind of experience with digital security. Moreover, our contemporary society does not advocate sovereignty - on the contrary, the average citizen is completely dependent on systems that exist to save him or her from themselves. Introducing the idea of digital security, of protecting your data, of being the custodian of your own money, of having a solid and consistent backup plan... in short, introducing the idea of being completely responsible for your wealth, is a process that must be done bit by bit, otherwise there is a very real risk of the person making some mistake and losing access to their funds completely. In this sense, the simpler and more reproducible the solution, the better. So before advocating that everyone who uses crypto should use QubesOS, it is necessary to introduce solid security elements that are easy to manage for the average, Windows 10 user.
>not recommended, you just acces your pw manager far too often. Seperate encryption, if done well, is vastly superior. Some password managers like LastPass let you select an item to always require you to input your master password before accessing it. This makes the seed safe even if you leave your laptop with your password manager open. This is better than saving the mnemonic seed in a draft email on Gmail and believe me, I've met tons of people doing just that.
I would never buy Bitcoin there because of the chances of getting tainted coins.
What about XMR? I’m looking at some of the literature on it and it looks too good to be true.

You aren't elite though. Only to your grandmother. You will never be a Gates or Zuckerberg.
Jace Perez
true but I'm only 2 degrees of magnitude away
James Robinson
If you hang out in an xmr thread, I assume you have a certain interest in lerning how to improve your digital privacy and security. Therefor I think it's good to point out options and exchange ideas. A paper backup is the best choice for normies because it's really hard to fuck up. For that reason I'd not recommend to put it into a pw manager, everybody who uses one well enough is also able to encrypt it offline, store the resulting file whereever they want and never decrypt it on a connected machine.
>saving the mnemonic seed in a draft email on Gmail excuse me, I think I have to puke

damn, nice lol. maybe /g/ tards will wake up
it's only beginning friends. I am so ridiculously bullish it hurts.

how do i customize the config file? everytime i start xmrig it just ignores it and starts benching every algo

just get in bros. been DCA since 130 after delisting retraction. just throw your money at it, it will be ok.
