<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Monero.com is better than cake 🙃

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> No

Thank you.

<p​reland:monero.social> I believe this should go without saying at this point, but if you rely on Bitcoin in any way as a part of your payment chain….. well first of all don’t 😂 but if you must, it would be in your best interests to do what you can to discredit and/or remove the current moderators of r/bitcoin. I just saw them remove a post that did nothing but ask what Bitcoin was…..

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> I heard monero fees are low?

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> because it does not have block competition

<r​avfx:xmr.mx> It can't really.

<r​avfx:xmr.mx> If blocks are packed full, they grow slowly and adjust to the load (assuming it's substained)

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> What's the easiest way to get monero?

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> like not that important if it's proprietary

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> just w3anna pay for a service

<e​longated:matrix.org> Do you have any crypto ?

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> No, I've none

<e​longated:matrix.org> Buy some ltc and swap it to xmr using trocador

<e​longated:matrix.org> Or if kraken.com is available in your region for xmr

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> is kraken insta fiat to xmr

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> or bitcoin as mediation

<e​longated:matrix.org> Fiat to xmr

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> crazy

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> ill do it then

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> what fees will be charged upon a ~100€ purchase

<v​ikrants:monero.social> Are you in Europe?

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> yh

williamfargo i think you can buy with a debit card on cake wallet app

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> sounds good

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> damn, I didn't know buying Monero was that easy

<w​illiamfargo:tchncs.de> I was just running the node for fun, but now I get to spend some dimes

it used to be easier

RIP localmonero :(

<x​mrpatchwork:matrix.org> You run a node to mine on?

<x​mrpatchwork:matrix.org> If so, I was always under the impression of it not being cost effective for electricity vs monero output?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> If solo or p2pool mining, running your own node can be the most reliable

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> That depends on your electric costs AND how much YOU value your monero at

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> If you pay 300usd to mine 1xmr, you shouldnt be selling it for less than 300usd. Anyone that does, is crazy

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Mining at a loss is the same thing as paying 300 to mine it, then selling it for 200 == crazy

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> If you simply refuse to sell for less than you paid to mine it, then its profitable ;)

<x​mrpatchwork:matrix.org> I have an old amd laptop. From like 2013.

<x​mrpatchwork:matrix.org> Im going to upgrade the old HDD to a 1TB SSD

<x​mrpatchwork:matrix.org> It currently has 6gb ram but i have just found 16gb ram for pocket change so may upgrade that too.

<x​mrpatchwork:matrix.org> That's my first 2 steps anyway
