Hello guys i’m new to monero, i need to learn some.. and ready to listen 👍🏻

a good place to start is by mining monero

if you're just want to get into a hobby

Alright will do sir, currently downloading the gui wallet 24h and counting on syncing the blockchain

Using very std comouter, but I’m excited

Thanks sir setvin

s/comouter/laptop/

I think feather might be a faster synch right?

old laptop?

Yes 🤦‍♂️

do you know what the model is?

windows 10?

The model is macbook air

does p2pool have a channel here

oohhh I've never used a mac

we might need to get you to a specific channel

I can just link you the XMRrig mining software

It is recommended to solo mine ? Is it really better choice to start as a hobby

Using the gui or cli wallet

gui is fine

Oh and using portable wallet, installed on external hdd

feather lis like a new kind of wallet which is similar to gui

but more "light"

i think its good to try out each one see which one you prefer

if you have a hardware wallet probably feather or gui

gui is the 'best' but the most slow

cli is good but not for people like me

True, but i really wants to know and see the advanced mode can offer then i choose the gui lol

I suggest pool mining with p2pool

its like a unique mining way

let me find the link hold on

Thanks sir, ok

there is an altcoin wownero that is new u can try to solo mine

it is solomine only

or just monero

i think this is it

Ohh i c, most slow ya.. cli looks cool though but I’m not an advanced user I won’t understand cli wallet easily

feather is good if you want something fast

you can use both

setvin[m]: What is wownero is it like token in monero?

no its just a fork memecoin

I see

I tried to see how you can solomine actually it looks kind of complicated, im hoping they maybe will make it easier

I think its better to start with the p2pool

that will be the best pool

and the best use of your hardware

GUI wallet is very good, you can make it very organized.

setvin[m]: Solo mining wownero or monero do you mean sir

Yes, mining pool paids something, unlike solo maybe can take months to solve a block “it said

p2pool is like pool but solo

Ehh interesting

First to do is download XMrig software then on to the p2pool ?

xmr software is the tool which uses you cpu

the p2pool will be the pool tool

so yes

I see, but can the wallet act as the tool that uses my cpu and acting as a pool tool as well. I’m curious lol

uh good question

there isnt a p2pool channel here, maybe someone will chime in soon and let us know where you should go for more detailed instructions

I think for now just do it the way on the tin

there is #p2pool-log on irc

I'm sure that you can join via matrix

Alright sir

if you figure out how to join ircs via matrix let me know

lol

The IRC channel has to be bridged to a matrix channel

there are people from matrix in that channel

I found #p2pool about bitcointalk is that the one ?

Using matrix-client.matrix.org ?

I have no idea about matrix

AFAIK there is no channel #p2pool

there is #monero-pow for development and #p2pool-log for talk and help

most are asleep now

as I will be in minutes

damn look at the time

im sure someone will answer in the morning I think a lot of people here have strict schedules

I can’t find #p2pool-log on channel.. i switched to matrix-client net and it shows me #p2pool then i joined lol

no its irc

somehow it links up, I dont know how

Yes no problem

i want to know too haha

Ahh i see.. and what is the hashtag for ?

probably have the answer by the morning or afternoon

in irc thats how they have the channels

all with hashtag

So linked to that specific p2pool monero

i dont really know

maybe they use a seperate client and I misunderstood

I know they think its super simple but for boneheads like me its like learning a new OS

Alright noted, meanwhile I’ll keep exploring then 😁

i think the reddit has a lot of info on p2pool

try just searching reddit for "p2pool" see what pops up

Lol me too

#p2pool exists but is not used

Ahh i have to use vpn to have access to reddit sad

mainland?

🇮🇩

you think too highly of me

There is a way to join rooms that are not listed but again I'm clueless

haha

three blind mice over here

trying to join irc

I did it when i was 12

now I cant apparently, too much work

Hahahaha

my first downloaded song was "tool anema" on an irc server

like 20+ years ago

I used to go to TOTSE

I wasn’t even know what irc was

damn

im not old I promise

temple of the screaming electron was such an interesting place

the 'clear net' of the 90s was wild

I had a scanner so I was like the coolest kid in the neighborhood

some of the older kids asked me to scan like a print out of britney spears

and make copies

back in the trailer park... lol

Lol

<setvin[m]> "temple of the screaming electron..." <- What kind of temple is this

holy shit

apparently they remade it

woah

that just blew my mind

<setvin[m]> "if you figure out how to join..." <- i found the way and joined #p2pool-log

<nioc> "there is #monero-pow for..." <- explore rooms > under the search tab right side libera.chat matrix > then it shows these servers too

oh yes, after switch to libera.chat matrix don't forget to search p2pool then i found some

thanks sir

<setvin[m]> "apparently they remade it" <- damnn nice temple !

To join irc rooms from matrix use #room-name:libera.chat, assuming it's on libera of course

Like #p2pool-log:libera.chat

the p2pool channel is #monero-pow <epemullen[m]>

ah heck I shoulda finished reaeding b4 responding

roger that sir i joined that one

lol

what is that lol

lol? im laughing cuz hes probably talking about how I typed a lot

and im laughing at myself

noo haha

i mean what is that the #monero-pow

oh pow means 'proof of work'

hes saying thats the channel you should go to if you want to learn more about mining

i c i c

yes the #p2pool-log is block found alert

honestly i don't have monero yet

haha the $XMR but interested on having

and the gui wallet, yes slow.. with my old laptop

did you try feather wallet

thats much faster I believe

almost there though just need to be patient a little xD

no

okay

yeah the first time is always rough

yes it will be much faster

fair enough first time is always rough xD

how long do you use monero sir ?

for ??? years

nice

good to know sir

Anyone interested in reaching out to them?

looks like they have a git, a twitter and an instagram

im assuming twitter is covered, want to try instagram?

instagram down

rug pull?

their git

they posted on twitter 4 hours ago

so they ignored or didnt see that tweet

which was made 6 hours ago

here is his other projects

that help?

what is a .ch link?

<Setvin> no clue, just found that diggint their their social infos.

whats best gpu for xmr

<Setvin> you can use a gpu to mine ethereum and trade for xmr shares

<Setvin> using something like prohashing or monero ocean

<Setvin> you mine monero with your cpu, then you can also earn monero by trading eth shares on ur gpu

<Setvin> to mine ethereum you need a 8g+ card

<Setvin> ethereum classic 4g+

where can i swap eth for xmr no kyc

lll

maybe localmonero?

what does 8g mean 8 gigahash? or 8 simultanious gpu

where should i cpu mine now

<bridgerton[m]> "<Setvin> to mine ethereum you..." <- i understand what you meant now--> 8+ gb of gpu ram

yes exactly, do you need a guide to start? there are quite a few around

ive got about 2.2 kHash

of cpu

just dont know if its even wprth trying now because i could be finding the right components to buy instead. but i have no idea what to buy

<Setvin> thats not bad!

<Setvin> whats your cpu

<Setvin> hey I think there is a mining chat, do we want to move there?

<Setvin> well in the discord there is, you're not on the discord

<Setvin> alright lets go to monero-pools to chat I believe that will be the mining chatroom
