Welcome to the /XMR/ Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's most widely adopted privacy coin.Monero payments are anonymous, low-fee by design and fully fungible, meaning users can send XMR globally without issue and receive XMR without having to worry about tainted coins. Battle-tested privacy tech (Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses and RingCT) ensures that critical TX data cannot be gleaned from the Monero blockchain. Thus by default, the TX history of all Monero users is kept hidden from the prying eyes of adversaries, with TXs being optionally transparent via the aid of a view key.Monero algorithmically ensures low TX fees by employing a dynamic (elastic) block size that can "stretch" to easily accommodate sudden TX spikes.Monero's bespoke mining algorithm, RandomX, is optimized for devices using general-purpose CPUs e.g. desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, keeping the barrier to entry low and ASICs out of the equation.Monero's tail emission - 0.6 XMR every block forever - financially incentives for-profit miners to keep mining, helping boost long-term network security. This constant linear inflation asymptotically trends to zero and is offset somewhat by a steady rate of coin loss.Monero has thus far proven to be the only altcoin capable of overcoming BTC's network effect by driving it out of the darknet economy BTC dominated for over 10 years. Monero is now also starting to overtake BTC in clearnet commerce as well. See below.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 Resources: https://monero.observer/resources/XMR Stats: moneroj.netUSE XMR: https://cryptwerk.com/pay-with/xmr/OFFICIAL WEBSITE - getmonero.orgWHERE TO BUY XMR: https://i.imgur.com/XdppsQ7.pngCrypto ATMs: see kycnot.me>MININGarchive.is/TWOahHOW TO STORE MONERO?>DesktopOfficial GUI/CLIFeatherwallet>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.

>>61234254Hello !
>How to *safely* acquire, store and spend XMRAn optimal XMR user set-up involves 2 separate wallets: an offline cold wallet (savings account) and an online hot wallet (chequing account) for everyday spending. XMR amounts larger than a few hundred dollars worth should not be stored on a hot wallet for obvious reasons. So ideally, you'll want to direct all payments/donations to your cold wallet by default and then transfer smaller amounts over to your hot wallet as necessary.Relying on 3rd party hardware wallets comes with certain security caveats so they are not recommended. Instead, its surprisingly easy to engineer a very robust storage solution yourself using readily available hardware: a laptop and a smartphone.>LaptopThis will be running Featherwallet and must be *permanently* disabled from ever connecting to the internet again! That means physically removing the M.2 Bluetooth/Wi-Fi card and gumming up the ethernet port with superglue.OS should be Linux rather than Windows, preferably a Debian-based lightweight distro. Encrypting the relevant user directory with LUKS is recommended but not essential.It must have a functional webcam.>SmartphoneThis can be your primary device. It will host both your hot wallet e.g. Cake, Monerujo, etc and the NERO view-only wallet that is paired with your laptop.To set everything up: https://4rkal.com/posts/feathernero/NOTE: if you don't have a laptop you can use another smartphone and install the ANON wallet onto it, its essentially the same thing but with somewhat weaker security guarantees. Video guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJqYzZyqyno>In a nutshell- you accept all (substantial) payments to your cold wallet.- you monitor incoming payments on NERO.- you initiate the transfer of funds from your cold wallet to hot wallet on NERO and sign the TX on your laptop via QR codes.- you spend the funds and help grow the XMR economy.FYI this is the most secure storage solution currently available.
>Bitcoin's price = NOT the result of organic real-world supply & demand = NOT sustainable Wash trading has been artificially driving BTC's insane price action since the first major spike in 2013. >Wash Trading 101 1. create/maintain the illusion of high volume 2. wait for poor unsuspecting fools to FOMO in 3. dump at a fat profit and leave them holding the bag When 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.
>>61234285>Links: https://pastebin.coJunkie shit. Give me a link to buy guns
>>61234254Faggy nigger OP posts a thread way too early because he can't stand not gatekeeping Monero
>>61234254monegro: larps about removing the FEDBitcoin: actually removed the FED.lamao stupid ALT kiddies.
Fuck you bakecel OP***** DISCLAIMER *****The creator of this thread actively discourages holding Monero. We, the broader community of Monero, do not agree with him. Buying and holding Monero is a completely legitimate way to participate in the protocol, and we encourage you to save your wealth in XMR.XMR is THE best store of value in the world. Not only is it highly scarce, it is entirely untraceable by any third party. No other store of value, including Bitcoin, provides the ability to anonymously hold your wealth anywhere in the world. Armed with only your seed phrase, you can literally take your private bank account anywhere without the consent or permission of anyone. It is like having an invisible stockpile of gold only you know about.Privacy will be increasingly rare in the coming years, but the supply of Monero will barely increase. Many people understand that Monero represents the most undervalued asset in the world.
***ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER***The creator of this thread has been credibly accused of being a federal agent. He actively pushes all potential holders of Monero away unless they agree with only using XMR in bartering scenarios. He will use straw manning tactics against anyone who advocates for saving their wealth in XMR. Anyone suggesting that Monero can preserve and hide their wealth will be called a "grifter", "moonfag", or any of several other slurs intended to end the conversation.These tactics support the state apparatus directly by denying Monero the notoriety it deserves. Widespread use of Monero, especially through wealth preservation, starves the state of key financial information and tax farming. Pretending there is only one "legitimate" use of Monero (bake sales at Porcfest) while shunning any other uses foments fake division, a favorite strategy of the intelligence community.Remember that many authors (W. Rees-Mogg, The Sovereign Individual) predict that states will get increasingly "nasty" as private currencies threaten their power of surveillance. The OP has strategically installed himself as the self-appointed "leader" of Monero on this board, but has no such authority to tell you how to use the best currency ever invented.

>>61239183Several of us have tried explaining this all to him. He just doubles down. Keeps posting it or sometimes makes the posts worse. Another reason why he's probably a fed or at least has a Fed handler
>>61239282FWIW, I don't think he was a fed. I think he just didn't get how much the cryptoeconomics changed in the past few years. As a small example:Exchanges probably didn't matter so much 5-10 years ago when there was ~2 million XMR/yr being mined and you still had to buy BTC on hodlhodl to swap to any crypto anyway; they matter now when there's 99% less XMR being mined and most of us are still stuck buying BTC on hodlhodl to swap for XMR. It's sad how much easier it is to buy the most obscure shitcoin through your bank account than it is buying XMR on retoswap

Has anyone ever earned XMR by doing bounties? I stumbled upon them and I find the idea of hunting bounties as a side hustle really intriguing as it is tax free and anonymous. However, when I browse the monero bounties social page most of the bounties are extremely vague. However, I took it as a personal challenge to earn some XMR for a job even if the reward is small.
New general pasta proposal, with large amounts of cringe removed.I didn't include anything about cold storage setups since I don't have much experience with modern setups (cupcake, sidekick, XMRsigner, etc) and newfags don't use them anyway.https://pastebin.com/raw/4eZJ0Vu9
>>61241977Last time I checked out bounties they were either already taken and worked on or looked a bit sus. But yes, in theory it's a nice way of earning some XMR.>>61243103From a quick skim this doesn't actually look too bad. But isn't Antminer a meme? Picrel.
Hi guys. Been holding XMR for a couple of years. I wanna trade some of it into fiat. Whats the best way? I have to trade them into Bitcoin first? If so, how do I make sure I can "clean" Bitcoins? Can I trade it for something else like ETH otherwise?Gonna cash out through Coinbase. I dont care about KYC.
Are there no good browser dexes for monero anymore? I wanted to top up without the hassle of retoswap
Can we just do a 10x already?
>>61243344>From a quick skim this doesn't actually look too bad. Thanks anon>But isn't Antminer a meme? Picrel.For the most part, yes. Bitmain also lost money on producing the X5, and it's not much more efficient than a dual epyc mining setup. But, when you consider that a richfag might not be all that interested in building a dual epyc miner and/or has access to people who can maintain it it's not a bad deal.
>>61243487>Whats the best way? I have to trade them into Bitcoin first? If so, how do I make sure I can "clean" Bitcoins? Can I trade it for something else like ETH otherwise?>Gonna cash out through Coinbase. I dont care about KYC.If you don't care about kyc and want to avoid aml checks, then swap for whatever is the cheapest to send to coinbase that has zero darknet market presence. Top candidates include:>BCH>LTC>USDC (POL)>t. Have only ever cashed out with gift cards

why is zcash growing so fast in market cap but monero is always frozen in price. i keep investing in monero as i get spare cash but nothing ever happens. are the masses retarded or am i? been investing since 2017
>>61246062Zcash is being wash traded and hyped on social media by Nigerians and jeets. Nobody actually uses it, however.Monero is actually used and hardly wash traded so it's more stable. Doesn't pump hard but doesnt dump hard either. The ideal currency for doing business.
