STOP MINING IN MINEXMR
>START MINING IN P2POOL
STOP MINING IN MINEXMR
>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
https://i.imgur.com/4c0uSE4.png

3. Set up your wallet
https://i.imgur.com/4lMKh00.png

4. Keep the default Daemon settings "Start a node automatically in the background"
https://i.imgur.com/maACmmT.png

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"
https://i.imgur.com/E60JeMG.png

P2Pool-compatible remote nodes if you do not have your own local copy of the blockchain:

>p2pmd.xmrvsbeast.com - (Western Europe) (rpc-port 18081, zmq-port 18083)
>myxmr.net - (Northern Europe) (rpc-port 18081, zmq-port 18083)

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.

As if darknet commerce and transatlantic cocaine dealing weren't already enough, looks like we're now moving into the underground arms dealing business as well, boys!


>Ukrainians sell weapons to NATO through Poland - investigation

NATO-style weapons can be bought quite freely on some sites on the dark web.

When searching the dark web, we found a site selling weapons, where they posted an ad "UKRAINE ARMS", written in Russian. M4 rifles are sold here - according to the site's statistics, more than 32 transactions were made through this ad. Price - from 2400 dollars, geolocation - Kyiv. Separately, we note that the official cost of M4 assault rifles, according to Pentagon estimates, varies depending on the modification - from $600 to $1200.

They (the seller) described the conditions and scheme to us: "The deal will look like this: we invite an administrator to our chat, and in his presence we discuss the details.

1. When we agree, we both write in the chat that the terms of the deal suit us. You deposit $400,000 in cryptocurrency through the Monero XMR system into your account.
2. Then I send the goods.

>>50739292
Isn't this a privacy risk?

1. Feds contact cake pay, ask for a list of gift cards to purchased by your XMR.
2. Feds contact gift card company, ask where you got your Uber eats delivered.
3. They now know who you are.

Is there some anonymous way of doing this that I'm missing, MoneroChads? Ideally we need an anonymous delivery service as well (somehow). I don't hate monero, I'm just wondering if you guys actually think this through. The purpose of digital cash is not to have to use gift cards. We should be able to pay these companies directly not through an intermediary. Companies should accept Monero straight up, otherwise we're stuck with legacy Bridges like gift cards.

>>50741203
>Is there some anonymous way of doing this that I'm missing, MoneroChads?
yes, the part where you think all of this can't happen without monero already
additionally, cake only requires an email - no KYC - so get yourself a CalyxOS Pixel and some email addresses if you are trying to go tinfoil, I guess
>Companies should accept Monero straight up, otherwise we're stuck with legacy Bridges like gift cards.
obviously that is the end-goal but guess what incentivizes building that infrastructure for stores? seeing the organic demand already existing through a third-party and then wanting a piece of the pie
I'm wondering if you actually think this through too anon

>Trusted technology, growing adoption

Zcash was launched by one of the most respected technical teams in the world.

Zcash is the 'https of blockchains,' protecting your freedom to save and spend as you like.

Zcash was the first project to implement zk-SNARKs, a novel form of zero-knowledge cryptography that gives its users the strongest privacy available in any digital currency.

Multiple, independent organizations are funded to innovate on Zcash.

Zcash is already available on top exchanges, digital wallets and a growing number of applications.

This is what Monero chuds don't want you to know.

Buy Zcash if you actually want to make it.

They say not to marry your bags, but there's no cuter crypto.

>>50739292
This is great news. The only question i have is does this also work in Europe or is this USA exclusively?
And are there even plans to extend this to Europe if it's not already working here?

I have a several people that i really could get into using Monero on a daily basis, but they seem to not be convinced yet due to no retailers accepting Monero.
This could at least bridge the payment gap people are complainign about.

Also, i the previous thread, someone mentioned you could use Kucoin to unregistered exchange FIAT to XMR, using a text app.
What text app and how is the procedure?

if you get a fresh SSD to download the GUI wallet on, can you still use it for other files/games?

ok you convinced me
i will get xmr when its under 50$
ok happy now?

>>50743100
>ok happy now?

If you really want to make us happy just don't buy Monero.

>>50742702
>Fiat

I don't think they let you do that without more kyc, but if you're just swapping eth/btc/whatever into xmr then it's easy. Any text app should do it but g*ggl* v**ce is what my friend may or may not use. Don't forget any of your pins or passwords otherwise they will make you do kyc to get back into your account (according to another friend)

>>50743183
Why?

>>50743067
second questions is, is it retarded to have this on second drive with Win 10? I want to learn Linux but I know nothing rn

>>50743067
yeah. the wallet data files (encrypted with the pwd you set when created) are stored in your document folder.

>>50741020
Because it's money, therefore a store of value. It is not an investment, big difference.

>>50743067
As long as you do full disk encryption and aren't retarded there's very little risk of glowies stealing your keys
>>50743506
Unless of course you hand them over directly by installing windows 10. Alright, it's not THAT bad, but it's generally not worth the hassle involved with securing it since it's basically malware in its default settings, and spyware even after using things like blackbird to disable the malware.
The easiest way I can think of to get into linux for a winfag is to get a copy of Debian-nonfree-lxde and do a live install of that. It has a very win98 feel to it. More than likely, your WiFi will be broken out of the box, which will prompt you to learn how to use basic command line stuff to fix it. By the time you're done you'll have learned pretty much all the basics.

>>50743614
cool so like 2tb would be good? the whole thing is like 30-40gb i can't imagine it getting too large. maybe even better to have dedicated laptop for this or external ssd

>>50743674
People who say this sound like delusional retards more than successful defenders of any principled position. Money can be an investment. Stores of value can be an investment. Anything can be an investment. Monero is an asset created for the purpose of private digital transactions (currency), but the fact of the matter is that if you genuinely believe the worth of Monero is going to increase over time you would be blind stupid to no act on that belief and accumulate XMR. Refusing to accept this doesn’t make you better than people that do, it just makes you willfully stupid.

>>50743506
>Linux
Get linux mint. You can dual boot it with win 10 , is a gui distro. Works like a charm. Than learn from there

>>50743861
>2tb would be good?
yeah. I have an old laptop, 1/2 a tb.
My meme folder is far larger.
>i can't imagine it getting too large.
it shouldn't. I believe the only dynamic stuff in the wallet will be the found unspent TX's, and metadata associated to those TX's stored over the life of the wallet as stored locally. so it can grow, and one's monerochan folder will be much larger over time.

how long do we have before bitcoin maxis start publicly mass converting?
what % of them do you think are already stacking monero? Or do you think they're hoping for one more new bitcoin ATH before there's mass realisation that digitical currency needs to be private so they're just hoping they'll be fine before then?
I don't want the cat to get out of the bag too quickly.
I think bitcoin will have better returns than monero for the next year and probably for the next halving cycle bull run, but there's a decent chance the transition to monero will pick up speed within 2 or 3 years . having a bag of monero seems necessary incase there's a comparatively sudden social phase transition and some big bitcoin influencers get the word out and critical mass is reached.

Because then you turn the entire dev team into martyrs and new people fill their place within hours, with an even stronger conviction. You ensure that everyone who was on the fence about it now side with the monero community as they now appear as victims of violent government overreach.

>>50755914
how many cutting edge cryptographers who are genuinely willing to die for libertarian/cypherpunk/anarchist ideals are out there? The few who exist are probably already contributing to monero. once you kill them there won't be any people to replace them. Sure there might be a lot of cryptographers who prefer a libertarian kind of future, but nearly all of them prefer being alive more and wouldn't start contributing to monero and living knowing they're likely to die after a dozen monero researchers suddenly disappeared or had accidents.

I guess it's a little late though since the necessary features have already been released and the project could keep doing its job even without any new technology or research.

>>50756278

*****/XMR/ Monero General Poker Night*****
>*****/XMR/ Monero General Poker Night*****

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

Starting this week Poker Night will commence much earlier to accommodate players from different time zones: 6:00 PM Sydney time and then rolling westward throughout the day, so basically ALL of Saturday effectively becomes Poker Night, feel free to drop in at any time!

>WHEN
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 XMR Poker is the designated host while Poker Club is the backup should there be technical issues or all tables reach capacity.

Neither service requires JavaScript.

>Poker Club

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!!

rank 30 and 10-20% of bitcoin's tx-count/month WITHOUT: Coinbase, Gemini, Robinhood, et al. is honestly extremely impressive
it shows that even in a p2p environment monero will hold value, and if these institutions ever do pick up monero, monero will probably immediately go to ~1800

REMINDER TO MINE ON P2POOL MINI
>REMINDER TO MINE ON P2POOL MINI
REMINDER TO MINE ON P2POOL MINI
>REMINDER TO MINE ON P2POOL MINI

Hello Monerochads. Reminder to mine on p2pool Mini (if you have a regular CPU).
You will receive daily bits of XMR and will help the network decentralization.

Here are important ressources to start:

Video tutorial with the GUi (Linux/Windows) -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbxbRu-2GWI

Tutorial for Windows with/without the GUI and a simple script to launch everything once it's set up -> https://pst.klgrth.io/paste/bjk9r

P2pool Get started FAQ (for P2Pool Mini also read the above tutorial and don't forget to add a mini_config.json file in p2pool folder) -> https://p2pool.io/#help

Remote P2Pool nodes -> https://xmrvsbeast.com/p2pool/monero_nodes.html

Monero Bash for linux users -> https://github.com/hinto-janaiyo/monero-bash

You can calculate you estimated shares here -> https://mini.p2pool.observer/calculate-share-time

>>50762581
what about moneroocean

>>50762613
Mainly usefull if you mine with your GPU. I would advise to mine on p2pool (mini) anyway if you mine with a CPU but it's not a that of a big pool and they help(ed) monero ecosystem so if you like them and prefer to mine with them it's allright as i see it

>>50762696
im just already set up mining with CPU on moneroocean, how much of a learning curve or pain in the ass wuold it be to switch to p2pool? what program or mining software are they compatible with? do they use xmrig?

>>50762739
You run a p2pool daemon and point your xmrig at it.

>>50762739
Honestly it's easy.
You can chose what you want to do: have a full node (136Go as of today), a pruned node (1/3 of a full node), or a remonte node (like moneroocean, which means you connect to someone else node and don't need one on yout computer).

Basically to mine on p2Pool you need:
>a local full or puned monero node, or being connect to a remote node
>a monero adress used only for mining
>p2pool (just decompress a zip)
>xmrig or any other miner

Check the links I posted in my previous post and feel free to ask if needed

In your case you just need to have Monero installed on your system and start the monero daemon by connecting to a remote node (a local node is recommanded but for easiness you can use a remote node), google that fren, then p2pool and you already have xmrig.
Check a few tutorials I posted and I can bet you can mine on p2Pool within 30 min maxmimum

>>50744463
You have the option of disabling microG permanently during the installation.

>>50747389
>graphene dev is such an anti-social faggot I refuse to support his work

That just sounds fucking based. Can you sum up some of the most egregious things he's done to earn the "anti-social faggot" title?

>>50762613
Monero ocean doesn't help the network.
Mine in p2pool or one of the smaller pools.
Run a public node and make sure it supports tor.

>>50762931
>have the option to disable
again why would you install a ROM to degoogle yourself and use microg to use google services

>>50755743
core devs are anonymous

Mini for a regular computer and normal if you have a rig

>>50763626
Speaking of, anybody wanna point me to a dumbed-down step-by-step guide on how to build and run a monero mining rig?
My searching has only brought me to this:
https://gpu0.com/mining/build-monero-cpu-mining-rig/

But these guys stopped at a parts list months ago and haven't updated with assembly or running or maintaining said rig. Lots of blogs and videos with people talking about how great their rig is and all the parts involved, but nobody bothers to get into the nitty gritty of assembly, running, and maintaining.

>>50764967
Overkill for a mining box. Just get a used 3900x. A cheap b450 and 2 sticks of the cheapest 3600 cl16 or 3200 cl14 you can find. Run on a USB stick

>>50765150
Okay, but how do I do that? I'm not expecting a long write-up here, but if you know of a good guide on how to set up a monero mining rig, I'd appreciate being pointed to it.

>>50765263
Build a computer and follow this https://github.com/sethforprivacy/sethforprivacy.com/blob/master/content/guides/run-a-p2pool-node.md

>>50765302
Thank you!

Newbie to anything crypto here. How come the wallet GUI says I'm connected and mining in the bottom left corner, but entering 'status' into daemon log says I'm not mining?

>>50767126
Well are you mining?
You don't have to be mining to use crypto.

>>50767216
I'm trying to! Using P2Pool (mini) with one CPU thread

>>50762315

based XMR chads

Why do people get KYC XMR? It seems counter-intuitive to me.

>>50768786

>>50768735
>LebAnon

>>50768650
Not really. You will not be consistently getting 20k h/s. Top xmr benchmarks are people doing extreme over clocks for short periods of times. That's not stable for 24/7 mining. You actually want to underclock your CPU to get a better watt/hash rate.

This is bad for honklers, but probably good for XMR.

3950x's are slower but cheaper per hash than 5950x's

Source: I have several 5950x rigs.

To directly answer the question, it doesn't look like the 7950x's are going to be a significant enough leap in performance to justify the higher cost they'd have over a 5950x.

Pro tip: go overkill on cooling (no water coolers)

>>50747389
>he is going to be the next Terry Davis
I really hope so

>>50772900
>should i get a ryzen 5950X for mining or wait until the 7950x comes out in september?
tough question. even if 7950x is better than 5950x (which IS an if considering the difference between 39xx and 59xx for randomX is marginal) if it is too expensive to ROI with hype premiums, it will not be worth it.
i would wait to see the L3 cache performance and real benchmarks before buying, UNLESS you are upgrading your personal gaming/workstation PC on top of it and mining is just a bonus. but for a dedicated rig - wait to see what happens.
theoretically DDR5 will be a massive improvement for randomX but with current premiums it's just ridiculous

>>50773644
What mean anon?

>>50773701
Actually I may be thinking in outdated prices, a cursory check is showing that 5950x's are on average cheaper than 3950x's, as the opposite a few months back.

Statement still stands on the 7950x though.

>easily accessed by etherscan while blockchain analysis companies can connect the dots
Seen the demonstration many times. There is no way any dots can be connected. With the relayers function in paying for gas fees, I doubt if any form of analysis will reveal the transaction details.

>>50773514
Your scenario is realistic in that it assumes there will still be banks, computers, global networks around, at least to some extent.
The remonetization of silver doesn't fit into that, since its main purpose as money was to enhance the divisibility of gold. Something that's no longer necessary with cryptocurrencies, digital banking & payment networks.
As money, or a store of value, it has drawbacks compared to gold, annual supply inflation is much higher. Hence why past attempts to remonetize silver (e.g., Hunt brothers) have failed. Any price spike will be met by producers cranking up production, crashing the price back down. Something that's way harder with gold, and impossible with Bitcoin.
The only scenario where silver is remonetized, rather than just being an industrial metal, is if we went full collapse. No computers, payment networks, XRP, or any of that. But if that happened, you'd do better hoarding guns, seeds, ammo, microcontrollers, luxury goods (cigars, alcohol), etc. It'd take a few generations before anyone gave a shit about shiny rocks.

It's all true anon.... how do we sustain our world economic system when the banks collapse and the BRICS nations refuse old world routes like SWIFT for commerce? The only solution would be a SOUND MONEY but it would have to be DIGITAL and the best aspects of digital which is SPEED AND LOW COST. What is the best crypto for this problem? What has the universe deemed as the best solution for the problems it is throwing at us through the culmination of our bad decisions (allowing central banker rule)?

It can only be XRP as the underlying fabric of money messaging for it is digital sound money with speed and low cost. It is very difficult to understand this but EVVERY, SINGLE, FUCKING, SUBJECT, IS, INFECTED, CORRUPTED, BY, MEDIA, TYPE, PERSONAS, THAT, PURPOSEFULLY, LEAD, YOU, ASTRAY.
Ever notice how the most outspoken people.....
1. Never talk about how based XMR is
And
2. Always shit talk XRP

Do you think these things are coincidences? Hahahahaha don't be naive anon, look past the intellectual barrier, throw away your brainwashing and see the truth, just like how 20 years ago claiming there was a pedo, sacrifice and cannibal elite controlling everything was deemed only comedy or for crazies...... and now even normies know the name Jeffrey Epstein. Same too will all the biggest crypto voices, silent about XMR and degrading XRP be exposed as part of the grander game which aims merely to make money for themselves and make money.

>>50774081
>since its main purpose as money was to enhance the divisibility of gold
No it has the same function as gold for the public, most people never got to use gold, it's main purpose was to be used as money because, lik gold, it has the 6 properties of sound money
>annual supply inflation is much higher
Oh I see you haven't taken the silver redpill.
1. Silver is used much more in industrial applications, it is consumed and thrown away much more
2. Silver has always been mined at a 1:20-1:10 ratio to gold
>price should reflect this yet doesn't
3. There is a lot more gold out there that has been hidden away by nations on purpose and in nature reserves
4. The natural way silver forms is on the top layers of ground as in; can't hollow out a mountain and get more silver, gold deposits can actually be massive while silver ones are usually not
5. It has always been fabled (for people in the know) that the highest secret tech in hidden R&D requires silver more than gold, ie, it turns out the universe/God/the farbic/science/engineering etc actually deems silver as more valuable than gold
>price, supply production etc
The reason why the price doesn't moon is because the comex and other ponzi bullion organizations short it massively, so too do large banks and cnetral banks participate in keeping its price down, in fact, doing the math, silver at present is the most shorted asset in history, of course DYOR, no "official" source will tell you this just like how the official inflation rate is always lower than what you can see with your very eyes, it's all a deception because that is the nature of ponzi scheme central banking.
>we went full collapse
No it doesn't have be mad max for silver to be used....hahaha you really don't get how bad things are....we don't know the real value of THINGS. When dollar dies, ALL ASSETS WILL BE WORTH INFINITY DOLLARS AND 0 DOLLARS AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE NO ONE WILL KNOW WHAT THE VALUE OF ANYTHING IS.
Silver use = real price discovery

Maybe you set up only one or two threads for mining ? What does the task manager shows to you ? Any program using the CPU ?
Otherwise you might try to launch the Monero GUI Wallet as admin to allow it to mine and to use huge pages (run as admin, mine a bit and next time you reboot your computer huge pages should be activated - it gives you more hashrate).

i can’t believe monerochads don’t like the zerps (xrp)

Whats the point of ethereum and why is it being praised so much all of a sudden again over its "merge"? Isn't blockchain just a slow networking system mostly useless for anything but dumb simple concepts like securing transactions? I can understand bitcoin for its time but why is ethereum some "magic" that is somehow going to be worth 30k a coin when it goes proof of stake? Fintech fags just magically load traditional finance on ethereum blockchain and ethereum passes btc in marketcap? I just don't see much application of the "blockchain" outside monero and btc where monero is the slow but real upgrade to a truly actual better btc to transact with or am I missing something?

>Ddr5 latency is far higher
latency in nanoseconds is calculated via this formula:

DDR4 base speed is DDR4-2133 CL15, resulting in a latency of 14ns.
DDR5 base speed is DDR5-4800 CL40, resulting in a latency of 16ns.
considering there is already CL28 DDR-5, i'm not sure if what you say is true anon.

>>50777264
it is hoped that post merge it will be as cheap as BSC and other EVMs (eth virt machine), while being ESG comped. It is not beyond the realm of possibility of Blackrock's partnership with Coinbase that Blackrock might take control of Coinbase, and voting rights of all that eth on their platform. Rent seeking all the way boys.

>>50777343
>considering there is already CL28 DDR-5
This is $400. You could get similar performance for $100 with ddr4 3600 and tune it.
So yes, >>50774117 is correct. DDR5 is NOT worth the $ for xmr mining atm and likely wont be for years.

>>50777599
What is a "virtual machine" in this context? I understand theres always a political motive when your moving that much money but whats the application of ethereum under proof of stake? A "decentralized" operating system? How is this a thing when you dont have open sourced miners that could mine on low end hardware? Isn't POS ethereum just a server somewhere at that point? Why would you need to pay "gas fees" for something thats pretty much chrome OS installed on some walmart laptop? I just don't see any amazing innovation or concrete product that warrants pushing so much money into it unlike btc for security from state level attacks or monero for private transactions.

>>50778202
>What is a "virtual machine" in this context?
a copy pasta of eth to another blockchain.
Most of them (like Binance Smart Chain, BSC), went with "validator", or proof of stake when designed. BSC has 21 validators, all controlled by Binance. These EVMs popped up to compete with eth, and offer lower fees. It costs around a dime of of BNB to move a TX of BUSD on BSC to a swapper. I read it is like a buck of gas to move the same as an ERC20 token.
>Isn't POS ethereum just a server somewhere at that point?
Sort of. Vitalik has encouraged miners that held allhodled their eth to stake it and become validators. It will be a hybrid PoS. A "Decentralized" PoS. More eth as a validator, more of a chance to mine the block. Whales that stake to validate will have the slurp once the merge is complete though.

>Isn't blockchain just a slow networking system mostly useless for anything but dumb simple concepts like securing transactions?
Yes
>but why is ethereum some "magic" that is somehow going to be worth 30k a coin when it goes proof of stake?
The people who say that don't have any clue about what they're talking about.
I have a sneaking suspicion that ETH will be the proto-CBDC. Since ETH is already pretty centralized even before it went PoS. They tried with Libra and it seemed that the stars weren't aligned then. Maybe by converting an "established" coin they can actually do what they want.

Thanks John:

>>50741203
Yes, but it is an extra hurdle to Feds. They aren't going to bother with small amounts and can't link it to anything particularly illegal, unless using monero becomes illegal

Cake pay is nice. But wouldn't that just be a disincentive for people to actually use and accept XMR for payments?

>>50783059
It's a pragmatic way of using Monero in real life. Going to a McDonald's and asking them to accept Monero would be retarded lol.

>>50783059
It’s a good way to use monero. All those merchants would probably have to jump through hoops to accept crypto. Gift cards are the perfect workaround.

that would be the case if modern people werent pissypant babies
cocacola sent literal death squads on protesting workers and it is still one of the most popular and profitable brands in the world
we all know google, facebook, twitter etc are evil, spy on you, literally manipulate public opinion etc but noone gives a shit
go figure

>>50783448
>we all know
Not everyone knows the same things you know. It is 2022 and I still meet young people who have no idea what cryptocurrency really even is.
A lot of people actually do not know those things. They know they spy on you, but not necessarily what is done with that data other than "it's used for advertising"

>>50783059
Small businesses are easier to accept XMR. The only major thing that would make all big businesses accept XMR would be if it was legal tender, which is quite unlikely to happen. Gift cards circumvent that, and it's also great for adoption.

>>50781809
>and tag 2 friends
oof

>binance run out of xmr again
>price suddenly spikes
If only people did not keep their coins on exchanges.
Fuckers keep on selling paper xmr and no punishment

>>50780641
Surprised how fast the confirmation time was in the video. I thought it would have taken maybe 15-20 minutes.

Monero has hit a yearly high on the BTC/XMR ratio. Autism wins again.

Im mining on the P2Pool Minichain and when I check my mining stats on the observer everything is showing 0's. GUI wallet shows the miner is running. Am I getting played?

>>50784567
That's normal. The observer only shows your hashrate the moment you get something, it's a somewhat poor setup. pic related is mine

Syscon’s smart contracts are the base of ethereum’s value proposition and lie at the core of applications built upon the ethereum’s ecosystem. However the EVM does not skill to the level needed of Web 3.0 applications and as a product of its own architecture falls victim to unreasonable fees.

>>50784651
thanks anon

>>50784651
>The observer only shows your hashrate the moment you get something
Forgot to mention, it shows a hashrate way higher than your actual hashrate too, so the observer isn't a great tool to use for analyzing your hashrate

Anyone else having picrel? I'm running monero-wallet-cli in urxvt and its output is garbled as hell.

is the monero biz whale still with us?

Did anyone else get a big drop in incoming connections on their node last night?
My internet didnt go down, server never went down, cant figure out what that drop was.

>>50738446

I sold my XMR today after the first hour of pumping sold at $169

I was planning on buying back in at $160 but it has not dumped yet

what do you guys think should I hold and wait or buy back in and eat the loss

>>50785830
This shit always dumps, one of the most predictable coins there is

>>50785830

The most based thing you could do would be to buy and hold a dog meme instead.

>>50785916
>This shit always dumps, one of the most predictable coins there is

Indeed, which is why you should never buy any.

Anons, I've been working on making an XMPP onion server for awhile now and thinking about releasing the link for public use. I haven't implemented any DDoS protection yet because I haven't had the time/necessity. Is there any demand for this type of service? I have basically all the basic functionality of an XMPP server except file sharing working.

>>50738446
Anons, your participation needed. Post monerochans and advices:

You can always mine for small payouts or buy smaller amounts, anon.

Are there any userfriendly atomic swaps with BTC out there?

>>50790932
WHERE CAN I GET A BLUE PARTYHAT WITH MONERO?!

>>50790966
It's best and easier to use swap services. Check out orangefren for the best offer available. LTC to XMR btw, cheaper fees and faster confirmation times.

in a hypothetical situation where the government decides to ban all non-government backed digital currencies, is there going to be a massive pushback? Are you willing to die for Monero-chan?

>>50791885
"prove it lmao"

>>50788483
Just finished the replay, I'm feeling really positive about how much easier it's getting to use monero in everyday life. I'm less concerned with 1-3% differences in price than I am with being able to privately buy whatever I need with money that nobody else knows about.

>>50792469
1-3% is less than sales tax in a lot of places anyway.

>>50792558
Very true. That's why a primary focus should be making monero as easy as possible to use (without sacrificing privacy ofc), which will facilitate adoption especially as cash gets used less and less.

>>50792663
*physical cash that is

>>50792469
>being able to privately buy whatever I need with money that nobody else knows about
and not having the state charge you capigayns for it's rise in price to match the fiat inflation

I am fucking hyped for the fork

>>50791885
How would they even know if you have any XMR? I guess if you buy from a KYC exchange? But you shouldn't do that in the first place.

>>50791885

Banning is unrealistic, marginalizing by forcing CBDC exclusivity is more likely.

>>50792680

I find it difficult to imagine the greenback being phased out.

I just set up phoenix miner for my 6600 xt so that I can use moneroocean to mine eth to xmr, is it supposed to only be using 30-60% of my gpu? It's set to 100% in the .bat file.

i stopped playing videgames
i have a gtx1660 in good condition, is it good enough to mine xmr (i dont pay the energy bills, but i dont want to get kicked from this residence)

>>50797894
You will be mining 0 monero with that GPU.

It's CPU mined. There are pools that will allow you to lend your hashrate to shitchains and get paid out in Monero, but you will be contributing precisely fuckall to the network.

https://moneroocean.stream

What the fuck
How do people get a full coin? I have a 12600k and it will still take me years of mining...

>>50798110
>12600k
lmao, who tricked you into thinking intel was better at literally anything? How much did you pay for that chip?

>>50798213
Please
So a 5600 would get me full coin?

>>50798332
>3950x
>5950x
Strip down the boards to just what you need to run it headless and boot from a usb to reduce costs.

>TFW electricity prices are up like 50% between last months bill and this months bill
I am getting fucking RAPED mining right now.

>>50797955
you think its worth getting a proper CPU considering I don't pay energy bills?
ive never mined any crypto before so idk how impactful it is to da billz

>Never forget what this is ultimately all about.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLhFoD-ZFok

>>50798446
If you have like $700-1k laying around and specifically want to mine (you WILL get more monero short term by just buying it) you'll probably take like 12-14 months to mine 1 whole monero with a 5950x. Worth it for some but not all.

>>50798490
It's about Monerochan.

What information is available to those who know your wallet in Monero?
I posted it here once, and someone mentioned something about not being able to see my transactions. That made me wonder if there are things that can be tracked by knowing a wallet in Monero
I hope my question makes sense

>>50798746
If someone has your address and they know it belongs to you, about all they can do is say "This is anons wallet".
If you use a subaddress then they can't even definitively say what main address you have, so use subaddresses all the time, just generate like 100 whenever you first make the wallet and randomly pick one each time you receive funds.

I've thought about this for a little while. The most obvious approach would be block the website and go after the miners/nodes that you can find on the clearnet, make it harder to use so that only the people who are really committed can get involved and try to strangle the network that way.

I don't really think it'll happen, but I could see the IRS coming to your house if they think you're mining and demanding information

>>50798446
I don't pay my energy bills either, I'm mining on a Ryzen 5 5600 and Ryzen 7 3800X and pulling between 0.25-0.50 USD daily.

>>50797955
>There are pools that will allow you to lend your hashrate to shitchains and get paid out in Monero, but you will be contributing precisely fuckall to the network.
#1 you can mine xmr on a gpu, its just silly to do so.
#2 reducing circulating supply of XMR by lending your GPU raises xmr price, so the CPU miners a that little bit more incentives to mine
-gpu mining on monero ocean is not just smart its based as well. however its best to CPU mine on P2P or another pool to avoid algo switching which gives you negligible more profits, while hurting the network
>>50798332
>So a 5600 would get me full coin?
who cares, its free money, just let it run in the background like you would an antivirus program and forget about it.
