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.

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.

>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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I want papers not musings. Decades of research has lump sum as better than DCA. Primarily because if the movement is secular bullish than you will "capture" more of the big moves with more of your invested capital.
For example, 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. The probabilities always just favor dumping it all in one go if you have a bullish thesis on the underlying.
See:
https://www.deseret.com/1997/6/29/19320793/lump-sum-pays-more-than-gradual-investmenthttps://static.twentyoverten.com/5980d16bbfb1c93238ad9c24/rJpQmY8o7/Dollar-Cost-Averaging-Just-Means-Taking-Risk-Later-Vanguard.pdf

https://towardsdatascience.com/the-best-way-to-invest-in-the-market-3b4f0f50990c
There are studies that go all the way back to the 70s about this. DCA winds up being a time averaged version of "timing the market" with backloaded risks not commensurate with the upside.
This is why serious financial advisors abandoned that definition of DCA to just mean "investing at regular intervals with your paycheck". Because of those investors being capital limited but also as a means to just be consistently be in the market. Easier to remember if its day X of the month or year.

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Oh yes, absolutely. The exchange of ideas is the only thing that really makes our mind expand, offering more tools to our arsenal and increasing our ability to solve the most diverse problems. And it is exactly because I am very comfortable with technology that I need to be thoughtful when trying to explain certain things to normies, because I know they don't understand and possibly will never be able to fully comprehend certain aspects of technology.

>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,
I don't like to recommend keeping the mnemonic seed or private key on a piece of paper. I see it as a big risk, especially with the popularization of this technology, there will be a time where a lot of people will know what a mnemonic seed is and there will be a record number of homes being broken into by criminals trying to find a piece of paper with a string of words on it. There is a known story of a monero miner in 2016 who had his house broken into and his safe robbed with the paper wallet containing 7000 XMR. That is a serious security issue. Realistically, it is much easier for you to lose or someone steal (or take a picture of) a paper with your mnemonic seed than for someone to break the encryption of your Password Manager. This is the real world and we need to start focusing on "good enough" security practices that are normie-friendly.

Targeted attacks are certainly easier with paper than digitally encrypted.

However all the digital stuff possibly allowes attacks on thousands of people at once, and the chance that a few people slip up is high. I think from an economic perspective this attack is way more likely. This of course assumes you live in a relatively safe country.

Most of my normie friends don't even use a PW manager despite my recommendation - let alone my parents. Setting up a pattern lock on my mums phone was almost too much for her. I can't imagine anyone of those people use a remotely strong enough password.

This. Monero is anti-speculative. It's a long term hold. Only thing that is sure, is that it's value will grow. But not much. It's a value storage coin, with payment capabilities (anonymous, so fungible and untraceable, and low transactions fees, which allow payment on the internet without having a transaction fee higher than the payment).

I believe that the direction society needs to take is one that considers its digital security much more rigorously. A piece of paper containing the definitive password to your wealth is a risk vector, especially considering people who live with their partners or have family and/or friends who know you have invested in cryptocurrency. Unrestricted access to your money on a piece of paper is a risk in absolutely any situation unless you live alone and no one knows about you, and that is why I have a strong fear of recommending seeds on paper.
It is far more convenient, reasonable and acceptable to try and instruct users to save the seed in a password manager, which will allow that even if the user loses the paper, or their house goes up in flames, or they find themselves in Thailand needing money, they will be able to access their funds.
I understand the possibility of the Password Manager not being secure, but then we are assuming that the software is not developed correctly, that the implementation of AES-256 encryption is not well applied, etc. It would be assuming that companies like LastPass lie by saying that they use your master password as a salt in the password and that even they are unable to recover your account should you forget the password. If we're ready to assume this apocalyptic scenario then we get out of the initial scope and everyone needs to encrypt their data with random throws of dice.

It all depends on Monero remaining the premier privacy coin, if it can do that then human nature will do the rest: black markets, tax evasion and money laundering are all inevitable and XMR makes conducting that type of business a whole lot safer.

You can solo mine in the client you sperg. Uninstall will still leave folders behind and Antivirus's will pick them up and freak out even if they're empty. Just move them to quarantine or delete if you're that worried.

I just find the question of "Are password managers safe" leads down not to a rabbit hole but a damn warren of tinfoil hat level crazy. There are people who will spit on your face if you mention keeping your passwords in the cloud, but at that point you're in the ultra-paranoid section.

I just save my passwords in a cloud-based password manager and save a once a month backup to two locations (One on my Onedrive and the other on a thumbdrive in a safe). Gmail, Onedrive, and password manager are always passwords I can manually remember and enter but still strong enough to avoid being bruteforced.

So you know what a kernel is, know what source code and open source means, but can't figure out if a crypto miner is safe?
On the very low chance this is not bait, think about this:
Why would antivirus software report a cryptocurrency miner as a virus?
Because 99.9% of the normies who use the antivirus would never willingly install the miner, so obviously they got it from some shady site and are unknowingly mining crypto for an autist.

>XMRig is a miner specifically, a type of threat that is used to make money at the expense of computer users by using the infected computer users to mine Monero
Yes, because it is open source it can be integrated into other applications and is often used as such to implement miners in illegitimate software or installed on systems without permission to force the hardware to mine XMR.
The application itself is just a miner though.
