Welcome to the Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's leading decentralized P2P privacy cryptocurrency!Monero is secure, low-fee, and fungible, meaning users can send XMR around the globe despite corrupt governments or broken financial systems. Innovative privacy features such as Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses, and Ring CT ensure that Monero's blockchain is obfuscated -- In other words, the financial history of all Monero users is encrypted from the prying eyes of adversaries on a public blockchain, with transactions being visible only by a user willingly providing a view key.Monero has also improved upon the scaling downsides of current popular cryptocurrencies. To avoid high fees, dynamic block size ensures that the size of the blocks will increase as the amount of transactions increases. Further, the mining network algorithm RandomX establishes that anybody with a CPU can participate in mining, preventing the ASIC miner domination that creates a high barrier to entry. Lastly, the mining network will be preserved by Tail Emission -- instead of the block reward falling to zero like with Bitcoin, the block reward gradually approached 0.6 XMR in June 2022, where it will forever stay. This constant linear inflation means the inflation rate will asymptotically go to zero while continuing to provide an incentive to miners to maintain the network.If you still have questions, feel free to ask and a MoneroChad will be with you shortly.XMR Redpill: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=wq6w03E2DS4XMR Stats: moneroj.netUSE Monero: https://cryptwerk.com/pay-with/xmr/OFFICIAL WEBSITE - getmonero.orgWHERE TO GET MONERO?>KYC:KrakenBitfinex>Non KYC:LocalMoneroMorphtokenBisqTradeogreCrypto ATMssee: kycnot.me>Miningarchive.is/TWOahHOW TO STORE MONERO?>DesktopOfficial Gui/CliFeather>MobileIOS: CakewalletAndroid: Monerujo

START MINING IN P2POOL>START MINING IN P2POOLSTART MINING IN P2POOL>START MINING IN P2POOLP2Pool combines the advantages of pool and solo mining; you still fully control your Monero node and what it mines, but you get frequent payouts like on a regular pool. P2Pool has no central server that can be shut down/blocked because it uses a separate blockchain to merge mine with Monero. There's no pool admin that can control what your hashrate is used for or decide who can mine on the pool and who can't. It's permissionless!Decentralized pool mining (P2Pool) is pretty much the ultimate way to secure a PoW coin against 51% attacks. Once P2Pool reaches & maintains 51%+ of the total network hashrate, Monero will be essentially invulnerable to such attacks.Although many inexperienced miners think that bigger pools give better profits, this is absolutely NOT the case. Your profits in the long run depend ONLY on your hashrate, NOT on the pool's hashrate.>YOU CAN NOW MINE IN P2POOL FASTER & EASIER THAN EVER BEFORE WITH THE GUPAX GUI. USES TRUSTED REMOTE NODES BY DEFAULT!!!!1. Download the *bundled* version of Gupax for your OS here: https://gupax.io/downloads/2. Extract somewhere (Desktop, Documents, etc)3. Launch Gupax4. Input your Monero address in the [P2Pool] tab. USE A SEPARATE MINING-ONLY WALLET!5. Select a Community Monero Node that you trust, although you can and should run your own node if possible.6.

START RUNNING AN I2P NODE>START RUNNING AN I2P NODESTART RUNNING AN I2P NODE>START RUNNING AN I2P NODE>What is I2P?I2P is an anonymized P2P overlay network akin to the Tor network but with several key advantages over it. I2P will thus play a pivotal role in growing the Monerocentric economy.>Why should I care? Why should I run a node?Increasing shadow economy adoption and the proliferation of an XMR-only standard are what guarantee that XMR will have a floor and won't also crash to zero when the Crypto Casino finally implodes. XMR's long-term outlook is therefore *strongly* correlated with the darknet, you may have already noticed how the number of TXs begins to drop whenever the glowies attack & cripple the Tor network, which underscores just how critical it is that the darknet wins this war against the State. Make no mistake: if the darknet is allowed to die XMR will take a devastating hit as well.So by running an I2P node you are helping to make the network Monero thrives in that much more robust while also enraging glowies in the process. Win-win!>OK, but how difficult is it? Do I have to store GBs worth of data like when running an XMR node?It is literally as easy as installing an Android app and no, there are no storage requirements, the node only consumes some bandwidth.>Cool, I'm sold. What do?If you have no interest in browsing the darknet yourself then the simplest solution is to install & run the I2Pd Android app on any compatible (Android 4.1+) device, ideally a TV box since they don't require recharging and are permanently online. But any old phone or tablet is fine too. Make sure you activate "start on boot" in the settings.https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd-android/releases/latestOtherwise just install the appropriate desktop client and leave it running. https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/releases/latestThe console is accessed via http://127.0.0.1:7070/ or the menu in Android.
>Bitcoin's price = NOT the result of organic real-world supply & demand = NOT sustainableWash trading has been artificially driving BTC's insane price action since the first major spike in 2013.>Wash Trading 1011. create/maintain the illusion of high volume2. wait for poor unsuspecting fools to FOMO in3. dump at a fat profit and leave them holding the bagWhen the supply of gullible fools finally runs out, the entire scheme implodes.TL;DR: exciting price action means nothing in an unregulated market rife with such manipulation, real-world utilization is the ONLY reliable metric of actual value.>No tail emission = Bitcoin is fucked Right now, at the current hashrate, miners break even on energy expenses at a BTC price of $22K. Post 2024 halving, that break even point, at the current hashrate, goes up to $44K. If BTC does not go to $44K, miners will be unprofitable and hashrate will have to drop (miners going out of business) to reduce the cost of securing the network, also reducing the security.If you know anything about the power of 2, you already know that things get very big, very fast. If we’re 3 halvings into 32 total halvings, then the estimated break even point for miners at current hashrate going into the last halving would be:$22,000 * (2^27) = $2,952,790,016,000 per BTC$2,952,790,016,000 per BTC * 21 Million total BTC = $62,008,590,336,000,000,000 BTC Market CapThe block rewards shrink so fast that after enough halvings BTC would eventually require a $2.95 trillion price per BTC and a $62 quintillion market cap to sustain the current cost of $7.15 billion/year.Even if these numbers were somehow realistic, can you imagine securing a $62 quintillion market cap on only $7.15 billion/year of hashrate? LOLSo basically BTC mining will eventually become so unprofitable the hashrate (network security) will shrivel up UNLESS it is subsidized by BTC transaction fees.https://cryptostackers.substack.com/p/bitcoin-is-not-a-store-of-value

>>58768323Scam pedo cryoto. Cry moar faggots.
>>58768323Also can anyone explain why Monero hasn't kept up with Metcalfe's law lately? Price was tracking it perfect til 2019 now it should be 5k but has been holding back. Are feds suppressing the pump or what?
>>58768446TNN simple as. What incentive do exchanges have to list the fair price when most XMR users are either highschool drugfags or daytraders who never withdraw to their own wallet? Xmr is too good to make money.
>>58768463What's TNN?
>>58768446>Also can anyone explain why Monero hasn't kept up with Metcalfe's law lately? Price was tracking it perfect til 2019 now it should be 5k but has been holding back. Are feds suppressing the pump or what?1. Don't expect rational outcomes from a highly irrational and manipulated market.2. Organic growth isn't parabolic. But it is reliable over the long term.3. Don't buy Monero. 4. Moonfags get the rope.
>>58768467>What's TNN?Oh, he's just one of our resident demoralization trolls, just ignore.
>>58768510Don't be a goose. Years of suppression means Monero is primed for a pump. With Haveno all we need now is to get a little hype going, spread some memes, push it past $167 and we are gonna fly
>>58768533Hype-fueled pump & dump trading = incessant price instability = all-round bad for business. Sometimes it gets so bad that darknet vendors are forced to cancel orders because they can't afford to eat the losses. So if you actually care about growing the circular Monero economy then cool it with the NGU faggotry. Let it happen organically.
>>58768548What are you on about? Monero is the perfect SoV just like gold. It's fungible has low inflation and can't be tracked by the feds. I have been stacking it for years it's at an unbelievable discount right now there's no way I'm throwing it away on darknet junk
>>58768594If you're not spending regularly you're not helping.
>>58768602Yeah I am I'm providing demand for Monero and paying miners for securing the network which is most important. But I'm not a consoomer and not gonna waste what will be the number one crypto on internet junk I don't need. Don't throw pearls before swine goes the verse
>>58768323pedo coin
>>58768646You mean the anonymity/untraceability of Monero works well, even for pedos?
>>58768073Right now it's more of a wild west thing but I think it will pick up steam quickly.I fully trust my governemnt to be absolutely unreasonable on crypto and privacy coins. They will probably demand full disclosure on all personal crypto holdings and retroactively track large purchases.I want to do it in a way as if a tax office agent is looking over my shoulder.

Hello frens,How would I buy a 4chin pass now with XMR? 4chin has fucked their payment system up and only use coinbase now which is worse than AIDS. How can I get around using the unbelievably gay centralized wallets Coinbase forces you to use when using their payment system?
>>58769475Buddy don't throw away your hard earned XMR giving jannies raises. You gotta stack that shit.
>>58769475I just checked what you're talking about. I guess I won't be renewing that pass.
>>58769677Right? What the fuck is this new system about? It fucking sucks. The old one was super easy to use but Coinbase is the most AIDS chicken swinger bullshit I've ever seen in the crypto space. The fuck do I was to use some centralized identity connected wallet for in the crypto space??? That is completely counter the entire idea of crypto. 4chon going this way is so gay.

>>58769572Straw man argument. No one here is claiming monero is digital gold.Also you're mixing up XRP (ripple) and XMR (monero) again.
>>58769572I take that back, there's this guy >>58768594.
>>58769310I'm a failed cybersecurity neophyte that took the online courses pill. I now have had my Security+ for more than a year and still have failed to find a job. It really is just a meme. But at least I know a lot about privacy and corporate gatekeeper network defense tools. I think I should just cut my losses and become a bug bounty hunter or black hat hacker at this point
>>58768594Monero is more like a digital tally stick or perhaps hawala but on the Internet. If you look at the process it's actually almost exactly the same except with trust replaced by cryptography.
What hardware is most optimal for hash/$ spent on power, if upfront cost can be high? Epyc?
>>58770413If you stopped at just that one cert then yeah, it's a meme for you. Buck up and deal with the 12-18 months of helpdesk like everybody else, then use that experience in tandem with your certs to weasel into something better.Learning marketable skills from a place that isn't a 4-year college isn't a meme, anon.

>>587708295950X isn't bad, true, but it earns too little XMR per month IMO at 16.5 kH/s. I use this PC like 99% for mining and 1% for games, so I think I'd be okay with lower clock speeds and NUMA in exchange for more cores in one box. I could build more 5950X boxes but there's RAM, PSUs, cases, mobos, liquid coolers (for quiet operation at constant 100% CPU load) to buy for each, and that drives cost so high I started thinking about aiming for even higher core density builds.I'm reluctant to only browse xmrig benchmarks, since they don't say anything about CPU overclock and they don't list all RAM timings, which probably is what made someone's 5950X reach 8 kH/s more than mine.I'm surprised how little mining is discussed in those threads anyway, I thought you'd all have your own miners to "secure the network" even a bit?
>>58771942Just stop dude >>58768561
>>58771942Perfection is the enemy of complete. Keep looking, though.
>>58771942>I thought you'd all have your own minersI'm mining casually, I do not care much about profit and energy cost, they are pennies anyway. I don't think anybody is building rigs specially for XMR mining, it is not prifitable. Botnet or ready to go solution ("monero asics", actually multi-cpu boards) probably are your best choices if you want to mine for profit.
monero-chan really activates my almonds
lol we're on quite the roll lately, yet another clearnet merchant discovers that XMR is overtaking BTC for crypto payments. Hot on the heels of CoinCards and ShopInBit. REALLY starting to tire of all this winning.Cue the salty demoralization troll reassuring us that this means absolutely nothing and that Monero is still doomed kek.

>>58769475Back in the day this is how I did it: The Coinbase payment page didn't open on Tor Browser but it did open on Brave's Tor tab. I then transferred to there through some swap accessed through Tor.To use the Pass itself anonymously through Tor, there is a limitation: 4chan has this retarded Pass rule where the IP can only change every 15 minutes. If it changes more often, it doesn't let you post. This completely breaks being able to use the Pass through normal Tor because on Tor the IP changes very often. To prevent Tor from changing IP I found you can explicitly select which exit nodes it will use. So I selected one manually from here:https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/flag:Exit%20running:trueAnd specified it in the torrc config file with ExitNodes. I have no idea why 4chan makes it this pain in the ass. I though the payment is already supposed to be the barrier to limit abuse. Most likely they just don't give a shit.
