Okay I disagree with the first line but everything else is based.

>>22553165
also post wallets and miner stats

>>22553360
are you the dude who was using his work's computers to mine monero from a thread the other day?
also I only get like 8-10KH/s on my gayman PC which I use primarily to mine ETH.

>>22553421
thats me!

>>22553465
based
how do you get away with it? do you do it at night when no one is there?

US government is singling out a Monero address in sanctions against Russian nationals. This is a first, I believe
https://cointelegraph.com/news/new-us-treasury-sanctions-on-russian-hackers-hit-monero-address

>>22553637
Wait nvm that article is dogshit. According to the monero freenode IRC, the listed address isn't even a Monero address. That's crypto "journalism" for you I guess

>>22553569
>how do you get away with it?
XMR-STAK seems to run background pretty nicely
and since we have i7s with hyperthreading on, it only mines on one thread per core
i renamed the executable to something that won't draw attention
but the users don't have administrative privileges anyway so they can't see the process
that being said, I don't tempt fate by running it on my boss's or 2 other principles systems.

I have more hardware I could run it on, but there isn't a client for ESXi afaik. I could mine in a VM but I don't want to hog the CPU away from other necessary VMs.

>the listed address isn't even a Monero address
did it have 95 characters?
I don't think secondary addresses have to start with 4

>>22553803
Sarang confirmed that's not a Monero address

5be5543ff73456ab9f2d207887e2af87322c651ea1a873c5b25b7ffae456c320
is the address they purport is a Monero address in the article. It's 64 characters, not 95

>>22553637
Lmao that’s not even a monero address. All monero addresses start with 4 or 8. So bullish for monero the feds have no idea what’s going on.

>>22553421
>10KH/s on my gayman PC
not bad
what do you got? maybe this beast at home should be relegated to mining at the office
I only started mining for epeen

>>22553895
Wait... fuck, I thought this was just Cointelegraph having a shitty editor who doesn't do his research. The feds actually listed that fucking address as an XMR address. Holy fuck this is like the 3rd time they've been humiliated in a month, trying to fight Monero. Hyped as fuck

>>22553165
Make money with those stupid coins that don't even have an interesting whitepaper, and dream about defi being a thing in the real world, but in the end Monero is your only real friend.

>>22554044
lol no wonder they can't crack monero

>>22554073
>Monero is your only real friend.
>>22554107
My only fear is that the dev team gets infiltrated by them.

>>22554007
just a 2700x, I won the silicon lottery on it and it's watercooled tho. I only get up to 10 occasionally usually it hovers around 7-8ish.
that's while ETH mining on my 1080 ti, which I get up to 56 KH/s or so, also got lucky with that die.
I don't really play vidya anymore so the thing was collecting dust, might as well put it to use.
But man, you only get 10k on a dual xeon chip? Isn't cryptonight really memory latency dependent? maybe that's why.

>>22554228
i dont know
the numbers don't even match
but this memory is supposed to be running at 2460MHz (FSB overclock)
that being said, with NUMA, maybe that's the problem.

i think i pay 24¢ per KWh in my highest tier which is why I don't mine at home

at work, our electricity is included in our lease, so it doesn't matter

>>22554222
trips of truth. check'ed

>>22554228
Yeah, I get much different numbers from xmr stak than I do on my mining pool statistics, usually it says I'm around 5-7k on xmr-stak and 8-10k on the pool's website. It fluctuates a lot too.
I've been meaning to dig into how monero's hashing algorithm works a bit more, but I'd imagine having two CPU's sharing the same memory might cause some slow down if its really relying heavily on memory access timing.
>>22554504
damn that's pricey, that's gotta be on the high end of electricity prices pretty much everywhere.
Always wanted to try to set up a solar farm to mine crypto, might be a fun project. Would make a lot more sense if I was paying 24¢/kWh tho.

>>22553165
based and Monero-pilled

>>22554711
I'm thinking about the solar farm thing too. After I buy a house I want to set up a system that can mine Monero using solar power as well as serve as a backup in case I lose power.

>>22554711
>that's gotta be on the high end of electricity prices pretty much everywhere.
it is

>>22554711
>>22554751
>solar
I think there is some sort of crypto for selling your surplus back to the grid at good rates, who knows if it's any good

>>22554751
That's my plan as well, would be pretty comfy to produce your own power.
>>22554914
>I think there is some sort of crypto for selling your surplus back to the grid at good rates, who knows if it's any good
Ι remember hearing something about this a while ago, looked it up and it's called solarcoin, it isn't sold on many exchanges tho.
looks like you get 1 solarcoin/MWh which is like 1.8¢, you don't actually sell your energy for it though, it's just to incentivize solar production. Free money is free money though, might as well.

we only post shill PnD videos on /biz/

Regulatory advice whitepaper is out

this shitcoin has had multiple critical flaws and got 51%ed right?

hey feds, touch monero and see what happens

>>22556503
Neither of those are true lmao

>>22553637
brb donating to it to become a martyr against the feds russiagating

>>22555224
what use would this "squeaky clean" Chinaman have with Monero?

>>22556842
Like every Chinaman I doubt he gives a single shit about Monero besides the fact it will make him money, which is the point of his presentation. Bullish.
