and he did it lmao, by the way is there a good way to mine xmr ? i did it 4-5 years ago but i haven't kept with the new stuff
Mining Monero is financially sound only if you don't pay for electricity.
That means either stealing electricity or living in a socialist country where electricity is heavily subsidized.

In every civilized country the kilowatt-hour is more expensive than how much XMR you get out of it, no matter if you have an efficient device to mine or not.
 
IIRC he doesn't want to spend time manually having to check each transaction, which I can understand. But having an option where non-americans can get kiwi plus would be nice. Taking one step after the other, checking that the planed set up works is probably the most prudent way to go. Once that works and is stable, I assume we'll get a Euro version :optimistic:

someone just made an open source, non custodial marketplace widget that could work
 
Does anyone have any recommendations for a lightweight wallet/client that supports conversion between BTC/XMR without going through an exchange or having an account? Preferably other currencies too, although it doesn't need every shitcoin in existence.

monero.com wallet just has the basic btc/eth/ltc/usdt swap, cakewallet has a bunch more.
monerujo wallet , the og mobile xmr wallet, uses exolix swap. ive never heard of them but they are a trusted wallet dev

cakewallet seems fine imo

Yeah i take into account the fact that you maintain this crypto by mining

This is quite a simplistic reply. You can mine Monero on your gaming computer, during the night (when the kilowatt-hour rates are cheaper), and essentially make dollar-cost-average purchases using your electricity bill. You can stack moneros using your computer and your utility bill and you
- wouldn't surrender any KYC info to any glow institution
- would have absolute privacy to your stack
- wouldn't have a "counter party" risk, in the sense that, there is no turd-party institution who can withhold "your" moneros from you; the moneros you mine are directly sent to your wallet which you have on your phone or your computer

There can be lots of reasons one might choose to mine Monero at home, it is not just off the cuff "mining monero is not financially sound".
1. your country might not have a CEX with XMR offering
2. you might not have access to any crypto exchanges
3. your bank might not be playing nice with the crypto exchanges

one can keep substantiating such examples.

Your best bet is taking a look at new/up-and-coming DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGES:

1) basicswapdex.com
2) retoswap.com
3) serai.exchange (to be released "soon")

Other than these, you can try the built-in instant exchange services of cakewallet.com and stackwallet.com

One thing I noticed when mining ETH was much of the voltage was simply running the fan. Not sure about liquid cooling, but I'd imagine that's also somewhat intensive. It wasn't exactly earth-shattering, but even my low-mid GPU managed to earn back its purchase price three times before it became inefficient to keep using, and I simply kept the mining down to below whatever turned the fan on.

So it was consuming barely more electricity than what it would have just idling.

Aside from the dexes mentioned above, you can also use UnstoppableSwap for BTC/XMR conversions exclusively.

Unfortunately these days you will not make anything except pennies. The CPU only limitation of the coin left kept them safe from large scale miners for a while but that stopped a year ago. Bitmain figured out how to brute force it and flooded the market with thousands of Antminer X5's that could mine at 212 KH/S for 3k.

It took me almost a month of 24/7 mining to get enough after pool fees to send one xmrchat.

$1.84/day for $3k so after mining for 4 and a half years you'd finally turn a profit :drink:

That is current day difficulty earnings these little suckers spiked the difficulty 22% when they got switched on. I imagine the ROI on them would of been a year when they initially came out which is pretty standard for a Bitmain upsell as they do their own in-house engineering.

As the coin was ASIC resistant you used to actually be able to make a couple bucks a week just leaving a old ryzen 3600 running but now it's pennies.

A couple hours ago Monero shot up 30% on all the exchanges with no warning. There hasn't been any news, no big hacks where somebody needed to convert a lot of money into XMR immediately, so it's kind of a mystery at the moment what the cause is. From its high it's currently trading at around 15% gains for the day, or $30 higher than it was a few hours ago (because Monero has been a stablecoin for the past ~5 days).

What was your CPU model?

Do you expect to get ""RICH"" out of mining XMR? No. Mining Monero is a way for you to dollar-cost-average your buy-in to XMR, using your utility bill.

Monero is still dominated by CPU miners. Bitmain did not figure out a way to "brute force" it. The X5 machine is just a box with a 6 risc-v CPUs stacked inside. You can do the same yourself.
