Welcome to the /XMR/ Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's most widely adopted privacy coin.XMR payments are anonymous, low-fee, and fully fungible. Users can send and receive XMR globally 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; the TX history of all XMR users is kept hidden, with TXs being optionally transparent via the aid of a view key.XMR ensures low TX fees by employing a dynamic (elastic) block size that can "stretch" to easily accommodate sudden TX spikes.XMR's 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.XMR's tail emission - 0.6 XMR per block forever - incentivizes for-profit miners to keep mining, helping boost long-term network security. This constant linear inflation trends to zero and is offset by coin loss.XMR has 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. XMR is also starting to overtake BTC in clearnet commerce as well.If you still have questions, feel free to ask.

My monero mining setup. It was doing pretty good yesterday with about 70 watts input and 40 watts output. It's really cloudy and foggy this morning so I'm only getting about 6 watts input though. We'll see how the weather goes -- not good weather for mining so far.
Uh oh, we bet on the wrong horse. Compliant privacy is the future.BRB building a compliant Tor browser and PGP client.
>>61447648>Antminer X5Isn’t there a plan to fuck these over with the next version of randomx?
>>61448620Actually, no. RandomX V2 should make RISC-V chips slightly more efficient, which the X5 is made of
Hello.
>>61447648>This chart shows that mining makes XMR more valuable by making the network more secure and more expensive to attack.Correlation != Causation.
monero devs are having a civil war over block sizeshttps://libera.monerologs.net/monero-research-lounge/20251205
>Compliant privacyAh, like "common sense gun control", i.e we're not going to honor your fundamental right but we'll say we're doing something kind of like honoring it so you shut up.No t hanks.
>>61450086TLDR Monero's block size was never unlimited and after FCMP, coincidentally, can only handle 6 million transactions a day
I love Monero>vnr
>>61450086why are boomers like this? is this the same argument as it was with BTC before Cash was created?
Reporting in
>>61450521monero has like 20k a day
>>61448500this is sick. I was thinking of getting a solar setup. It would be cool if you could get it to mine conditionally if the battery is above a certain level
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.01437looks like qubic was not very effective
>>61451885> we find that the campaign was profitable in only a small subset of intervals. Nonetheless, Qubic's activity sharply increases orphan rates and reorganization depth, degrading confirmation reliability. This illustrates that even economically fragile selfish mining campaigns can still impose meaningful harm, and that existing mitigation approaches offer limitations against such behavior in practice.
>>61447644>https://www.getmonero.org/get-started/mining/>Monero can be mined by both CPUs and GPUs, but the former is much more efficient.It's more efficient to mine with a CPU than with a GPU??
>>61452837Of course.
>>61452739Quality slop, but you should fix her earrings.
And fingernails. And ears. And fingers. Well, fuck you.
Monerobros, why has XMR been abandoned? I don't just mean by regular CEXesm, or even Bitpay and other payment processors--it's been left behind by the original darkweb libertardian fags, too. What gives?
>>61452941>And fingernails. And ears. And fingersand toes hehe
>>61452957>it's been left behind by the original darkweb libertardian fags, too. What gives?
>>61452981at this point it's pretty much only used by north koreans to launder stolen money
>>61453029The entire darknet economy is moving to a Monero-only standard. XMR payments dominate crypto-based clearnet merchant sales as well.
>>61453054Joke's on you, I was merely baiting for useful information. You have fallen for my trap, and I have saved your image. I double dog dare you to continue making quality posts... noob. Bwahahahahahahaha
>>61452739cute
hey fags, any way to buy CHEAP domains with xmr?
>>61453196I'll sell you some for a modest markup heheh
going to build myself a cute little 7945hx mining rig
Is anyone actually mining? How's profit over electricity, factoring in equipment costs? Time to break even on an efficient rig?+
>>61453304there's better places to allocate capital if you actually care about making money or getting fast ROI. I'm going to do it out of boredom/support for the network. also the refurbished parts i'm looking at are on discount
>>61453341>there's better places to allocate capital if you actually care about making money or getting fast ROI.like what? I'm looking for a hobby and to diversify
>>61453345even just mining wise there are calculators for you to see what will yield you the highest return for your hashrate. I'll most likely solo mine so the chance of me hitting a block will be near 0 but it's for the fun of it
>>61453385half of the point of silver (other than getting rich as fuuuuuuck) is that it weighs more than gold so you can dangle huuuge ingots of it in front of goldfags and cryptofags
Should I get an antminer? Or just buy a bunch of XMR?I don’t know the first thing about mining btw
>>61454142the monero antminer is shit and doesn't break even>>61453196njala is the only one I know of
>>61453196Nice VPS offers monero payments although ive never used them>https://nicevps.net/>https://nicevpsvzo5o6mtvvdiurhkemnv7335f74tjk42rseoj7zdnqy44mnqd.onion/They have a decent rating on kycnot.me>https://kycnot.me/service/nicevps
>>61454142why would anyone sell bespoke hardware for mining if it were profitable to actually use it? why wouldn't they just use it>well uh it's a different business model and-just plug it in and turn it on. have a couple of employees>w-well uhhhthey're a scam, anon.
I fucking love Monero. Best coin & actually used
