Now that Bandcamp got bought and will likely be ruined, there's an window of opportunity for a Monero-enabled Bandcamp replacement opening up.

jjakob: if xmr-btc-swap makers are not empty, then that is the better choice. otherwise localmonero.

Ok so I'm restoreing my wallet right now, is there a way to delete the private key so I can just see the public address of my account for mineing?

never delete the private key or you'll lose all your money

scara: you maybe want to use a view key?

scara you want to create a view only wallet

you need private viewkey plus address of your wallet to do this

badjabber: I have the wallet and wallet.key can I run a command to replace the private key with a view key?

you gotta open the wallet normally. In monero-wallet-cli you would then use the viewkey command

to get the private viewkey

then you can run monero-wallet-cli --generate-from-view-key to create a view only wallet

it will only show incoming amounts

"private viewkey"? Whats so private about it?

you don't share it, otherwise somebody can see transaction information for specific address. but is not able to spend it. that's why it's a view key. there's also a spend key.

is it possible to use a hardware wallet (trezor) with different software and use the utxo's on it?

I know it supports HWI, so can I receive xmr on it with monero-gui, then send it with wasabi?

Wasabi does not support xmr, afaik

also simultaneously store btc and xmr on it? (it can support multiple wallets with passwords?)

You can't send xmr to a btc wallet

trezor supports xmr

Trezor does, but wasabi doesn't

Your wallet does not "contain" the actual coins

It only contains the private keys required to sign transactions from the corresponding addresses

But the coins are on the blockchain

Different blockchains don't interact directly with eachother

yeah I get that

Not exactly, Polkadot provided a bridge. But obviously btc and xmr has nothing to do with it.

You can connect the same trezor device to multiple software wallets for multiple coins, but if wasabi does not support xmr, then you will not be able to use your xmr from that

Even those bridges are not a direct interaction

Oh yeah

understood, I was mistaken in my assumption that wasabi would support xmr, but that's not a problem then, I can use the official monero wallet

isn't the hw wallet also in charge of generating and storing addresses?

Depends on the specific brand/model

Iirc there's one that only holds the keys and does the tx signing, because it has very little memory and computing power

I have the trezor T, the more powerful one

And all the wallet data and metadata is stored in the software wallet instead

While some others that are also able to store the wallet data on the device itself

In which case, I would expect them to also store the index of subaddresses generated

hello

with h/s of 30000 is better to use p2pool or only xmrig

P2pool is a decentralized pool software

i used for some days but i earned around 1euro daily!

Xmrig is the actual miner

I assume you were mining on some other pool?

no solo

Solo mining does not work like that

xmrig on my servers

no pool

When solo mining, you either find a block and get the whole reward (0.6-0.7 xmr right now) or you get nothing

how much time i'll need with 3000 h/s

But finding a block takes a long time by yourself

3months

Many years

more

years?

i found one after 2.5months1

Your average time to find a block is about 2 minutes times 3e9 divded by 30e3.

With 3000 H/s, it would take you 3 years and 5 months to find one block, on average

(Right now)

30000

not 3000

Ooooh, that sounds more likely

4 months on average, so you were a little lucky

i found after 2.5 months

i have 2 servers of 15000 h/s each

is better to make my pool

For two machines, probably not.

p2pool is paying almost nothing!

Unless they can't share the same chain and you want to save 40 GB I guess.

Long term, you'll get about the same from p2pool, centraliezd pool or solo mining,

Your average income stays the same

P2pool pays less, but more often

In fact, p2pool/solo will get you a tiny bit more, due to no middleman fee.

You get the same amount

the issue is not hd but if i'll earn more when p2pool server are linked in one

smth like xmrig proxy

Adding a pool in the middle will not increase your finds.

"finds" here being defined as "monero balance increase".

yep!

You can't earn more, ever

It all depends on your hashrate

if i use both servers to link to one p2pool is better or is the same on having each p2pool on specific server

Same thing, but there's no point to run multiple p2pool

Just run one and connect both miners to it

i dont have very good internet maybe this will affect p2pool server

"Not very good" how?

Slow? High ping? Unstable connection?

slow

how to meter?

What's your speed?

P2pool doesn't need a lot

There are many speedtest websites

from command line how to do that

Or just try downloading a large file with wget on the server

yes

the speed to 127.0.0.1 is for sure better than some external ip

solo and p2pool will be the same after 1month right?

In the same way as you'll have the same number of sixes on two dice after you throw each of then 10 times.

It only converges to the same point at "infinity".

ok i go p2pool

On short timescales, one or the other will most likely get ahead, they'll probably cross each other, etc. Random walk.

and i have lost round 1month going from solo to p2pool

p2pool will likely start ahead of solo. Then solo will possibly get ahead, due to longer expected times and larger reward.

Long long long term, they'll get closer and closer.

what is long long term

1 year

6months

Maybe... 50 years ?

Maybe 2000 years.

oh this is not good

Random stuff has a nasty habit of sometimes staying away from its expected value for a while :)

At this point, I see little point in using a pool other than P2Pool, except in the case of "I was on this other pool before P2Pool was a thing, and I'm too lazy to switch."

1 year maybe. Depends how yo measure it really.

Some centralized pools actually shut down when P2Pool became a thing, and some that are still running recommend using P2Pool instead.

Well, not really "how yo umeasure it", more about how much variation from expected you're ok with and how lucky you get.

i was  lucky to get 0.7 after 2.5 months

solo no p2pool.....

If you aren't running *very serious* hardware, for the standards of the particular cryptocurrency you're mining, I'd generally say to go with a pool.

im running bad hardware

opteron 6380

too much watt

 dont know if worth

Oh, you mean bad efficiency. Yeah.

15k per machine is not bad at all.

I think it's in fact pretty damn good.

4 cpu

Ah. Hmm.

and not all cores are working

56 of 64

dont know how to disable ht assist

If it's profitable overall given local electricity utility prices, it could still be worth it.

it is but not very much for h/s that give

30 euro monthly!!

woohoo

1euro daily!

is nothing

That's not bad.

Well . . . it's not going to pay the rent.

15000

Mining isn't the most profitable pursuit in the world if you don't go nuts with it, though.

Check cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/xmr

hardware cost 500

Here's the thing:

512gb ram!

If you know your power usage and electricity cost, you can see how profitable you are

it is but not more that 30euro monthly!

If you do your mining in a way that can't be traced back to you, that's awesome, with Monero. You have "clean", better-than-free exchange of fiat currency for Monero. It's basically a very, very friendly, private currency exchange.

Instead of an atomic swap or localmonero, you use the home utility provider, and you even get tips for doing it.

hardware cost 500 so even in one year i wont pay hardware

In addition, you help secure the network, which means you help the currency gain value over time (theoretically).

Yeah, well, there's the hardware cost, of course.

Your reference to not all cores working suggested to me you might have been using hardware that was just sitting around gathering dust.

no is smth more specific

Oh, I see.
