I just started mining today. I was hesitant at first because I have “little” hashing power.

I wanted to share with you what changed my mind

So. I only have about 5KH/s. I thought it was a waste of my time and resources to mine only 0.001 xmr per day.

But then I thought. If I really believe in a future where monero replaces bitcoin wouldn’t you want to be mining the equivalent to 100,000 sats per day?

Then it was a no brainer. I just made the sat parity. I really believe monero to be a better Bitcoin. So instead of thinking of my xmr in dollar terms I thought about them in sat parity terms.

Now I regret not starting mining months ago 😂

libre[m]: Nice

libre[m]: How is your power consumption going?

No idea. The utilities come included in rent. So for my case it doesn’t matter… yet

Very nice

<libre[m]> "So. I only have about 5KH/s. I..." <- Is it a dual core pc? What are the specs

I had two pre m1 MacBook pros that were sitting idle

8-core intel i9 2.3ghz. Maybe I’ll turn them into Linux this weekend to get more juice out of them

Now that I’m hooked with the sats xmr parity idea

Gotcha, hey may as well. $73 in today's dollars annually. Could be $1k in the future, may as well. Or just sell one and buy some lol

<donkeyballs> suggestion, mine on mini.p2pool.io with low HR

I would like to do some small mining for fun too

What computer do you have?

s/<donkeyballs> suggestion, mine on mini.p2pool.io with low HR/<donkeyballs> suggestion, mine on p2pool.io/mini/#pool with low HR/

CPU wise

<donkeyballs> if you have newer AMD procs, you'll get higher HR than Intel

I’ve seen that but I gotta buy new hardware for that. I like the idea of putting idle stuff to work. May not be worth much today. But sure as hell will be worth a lot tomorrow.

I only have super dated spec stuff so I would definitely be losing with electricity, but it would be fun to do it

<donkeyballs> I mine with several different types of procs, for instance VM's running on Xeon E5-2680 v2 using 8-cores (DDR3-1866 RAM) gets around 3.5KH/s. AMD Ryzen 5 3500X 6-Core (DDR4-3600 RAM) gets 4KH/s, AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (DDR4-3600 RAM) gets 17KH/s

Very nice. Super nice for people who got good deals on the hardware or bought pre-covid or even 2021 lol

<donkeyballs> actually, since AMD Zen4 is coming in 2022, Zen3 proc prices have dropped

<donkeyballs> just purchased a AMD Ryzen 9 (Zen3) 5950X build for $1200 on newegg this month

<eli> Lmao that's not implicit bias that's explicit bias aka racism

<bridgerton[m]> "<donkeyballs> just purchased a..." <- Nice. How much for the entire build?

<entry1[m]> "I only have super dated spec..." <- For fun and securing the network via p2pool. The other interesting part is there is a hash raffle where you get boosted by 5KH/s in p2pool.

<donkeyballs> are you sure the XvB raffle boost is only 5KH/s in p2pool? I've received many 3MH/s boosts in p2pool.io/mini in the last couple weeks

I didn't have the exact amount on my mind lol I guess I rounded it up for practical purposes

Monero being mentioned again on "What Bitcoin Did" in super good light btw

Latest episode. The guest ask the host "What technology solves centralization, censorship, ever changing laws?". Peter answers: "1 for sureee.. and argument for Monero"

<donkeyballs> <libre> About XvB raffle, I think you missed what I said. I received several 3000KH/s (3MH/s) boosts in p2pool.io/mini in the last couple weeks

I did missed that, holy shit that's a lot.

s/missed/miss/

<donkeyballs> yeah, definitely was fun to watch shares start rolling in like mad

I know Monero doesn't need any government permission nor it wants it but

What's your prediction on which country is gonna be the first to make it legal tender

I think I just found the perfect place

The United Nations recognized the Esperanto Language in Uruguay.

Uruguay has a 97% green energy supply. So we can mine there without issue. Plus, it's next to Argentina (high demand for non-inflationary assets). And the fact that it is in Latam can provide competition to Bitcoin dominance in the region.

* United Nations officially recognized the

Uruguay is supposed to be a lovely country

EL CITADELO

Other synonyms in esperanto would be

ELIZEO

EDENO

Monero Edeno has a nice ring to it

The beaches look dope

Welp that's it. I sold myself into the idea 😂

That's a very well made article escapethe3ra[m], and I even like the way it prints on paper. I did that from curiosity (printed to PDF.)

does anyone know who runs localmonero?

Alex

thank you

Not sure it is the Alex in here, but in reddit they are alex_localmonero or something

<msvb-lab> "That's a very well made article..." <- Thanks! Nice to hear that it looks good on paper.

^just missed it I guess. Which article? I'm curious

ty

Sure

It's a good one, you will like it.
