How & Why to Mine Monero 

I mine Monero for the community! ** sets donation to 0 **

I followed this guide and kept the mining software running overnight. I got zero XMR in the morning. I guess mental outlaw was not joking when he said that we are not doing it for money

I remember mining XMR back in 2017. Made about 10 xmr and then spent it on CSGO skins. Good times….

I do a fair amount of Monero mining on my 5900 in the winter when I need the extra heat. Here are some observations: *Overclocking is a waste of energy. Profitability is marginal enough as it is. *Huge pages is a MUST. That alone roughly doubled my hash rate without effecting power consumption. *Running on Windows I had to manually disable automatic memory compression. For some absurd reason Windows 10 really liked to randomly tank the hash rate by trying to do this. For a while I thought my system was unstable, but nope. Just Windows being windows. *I saw no meaningful gain from memory overclocking, but a very noticeable boost by tightening memory timings, and that included secondary and tertiary timings. *Last I checked, mining would have yielded roughly half a Monero per year of continuous mining. There's really no money in it, but every miner not on a major pool makes the network a little more secure.

Waiting for the bot comments for crypto scams

Btw setting the donation level to 0 will make it fallback to 1 the only way to disable it is at the source code level

"It's not about money, it's about sending a message"

I imagine even with a vpn, isp/govts can tell if you are a miner or other “unusual person” based on network activity and flag you for bullshit down the road. I wish I was wrong.

This couldn't have come at a better time, researching how to do this has been on my to-do list for a while now.

I didn't expect I'd have a monero wallet by the 8 minute mark without me having to do a thing.

I'm gonna make you proud Monero-Chan 🥺

Mining without p2pool is a disservice to the monero community. Not only it makes the network safer but it gives way more constant payouts without fees. Wish you had done this video properly.

I feel safe purchasing cool stuff online with monero 😎👍

i remember setting up a couple of laptops to mine on winter nights, it was nice to be warm and also getting a few cents too

In todays age of crazy financial surveillance, XMR is even more relevant

Holy crap lois!! They turned monero into an anime girl !

You should make a video on privacy implications of AI. I'm surprised nobody seems to care about that aspect.

Literally wonder myself why hadn’t you did a How to Mine Moreno video. Thank you for today.

my man is putting out as many videos as he can after seeing the AI uprising.

You can repurpose old Asics, heater during winter lol

Calculated monero mining - its either unprofitable on consumer hardware, or very little in profit, like 2$ a month, definitely not worth additional hardware amortization.

Finally a use for all the cores on my 5950x

Fuck I love this channel. Such a calm but expressive voice, hard topics given very easily on a basic level (but not the "I know you're dumb so here's 20 minutes of 1+1=2 lecture" basic), the topics themselves are educative and entertaining. You end up both entertained, rejuvenated and educated after watching. With love from Siberia!

Now that Monero has reached the final inflation rate (which means there won't be whales and money keepers like in bitcoin), using Monero is so easy that the only missing part is people actually receiving monero. Btw, it's financially better to use Monero only, since there are no taxes on pure crypto in most countries (only on the benefits from buying/selling crypto). This means that if someone receives a wage in crypto, pays rent in crypto, and buy things in crypto, there is essentially no money to tax.

Died in Rust, tabbed out and saw you using a Rust thumbnail lol. I love it.

With that threadripper, you would be fine in the high starting difficulty, even while running OBS and everything else your hashrate was a decent bit higher than my 5950x

Youre mic picks up your keystrokes really well, made me curious. Can AI identify passwords by sound of keys? The study found that the machine learning system was able to accurately assign the correct key to a sound 95% of the time when the recording was made over a phone call, with successful recognition occurring 93% of the time when the recording was produced via a Zoom call.Nov 24, 2023

Thanks for this video I always wanted to get into Monero but I didn't have the idea of where to start nor the budget, and there's sooooooo many scammers out there you don't know where to go to even begin getting the information

Not even Monero-chan could convince my frugal ass that mining Monero is worth it.

Be honest, you made this whole video as a roundabout way of broadcasting that you run arch linux (btw), on a threadripper (btw).

about to make an ultra cpu heavy rig to mine monero in full commitment, thank you for getting me started on a crappy hp laptop, and spurring me on to make a good rig. You a real one. Also still learning linux sooooo... I've still gotta go far lol

I must admit. You got me hooked 🙏

Thanks to this video I will turn my old Pentium laptop into a mining monster

whats the point of crypto if your not doing it for money? from my perspective thats like saying you dont work for money but for the fun of working. both just sounds really stupid.

What can you buy with the Monero? I'm curious is there a popular non criminal activity market where you can go to spend it?

how do i stop getting this tools videos recommended to me ?

The video stops playing from 10:34 to 10:36 but if I skip ahead it starts playing.Anyone else have this bug?

Wonder if this can be dockerized without losing too much efficiency

Here in Germany I doubt it's worth it, since we have the highest energy prices.

dat Hash rate.... 26k without a sweat. This video kickstarted my small operation here at home just for fun, and old T430 running a p2pool node and mining on 3 core for +- 1k H/s, a crappy company laptop that i dont use doing +- 1.5k and my workstation with a xeon E5-2667 v2 adding another 5k to 6k. My setup is pulling 300w yet I'm only getting around 7 to 8 K/s. Is it worth it? No. Is it fun? Yes!

Lmao I can expect to make $60 a year if I mine on my Ryzen 5 3600.

Enjoy your 20$/year everyone

I'm going to a Vo-Tech and they're letting me build a cluster computer with Raspberry Pis. Little do they know I'm gonna mine monero with them

Mining crypto still isn't profitable for the average guy, with current electricity prices and my hashrate I would make about 5 dollar profit a month. Useless 😃

2:30 this part explains why a lot of ASIC miner devices took months to ship more than they should have after being ordered.

Can you please do a guide on the P2Pool setup!!!

16:57 So how much XMR and when ? in a week , month or more ? 🤔🤔

Growing up as an aspie, i really wish monero was around when i was a kid

What's the point of mining that? Your pc with Intel Core I7, for example, would consume more electricity than you can earn by mining

I'd prefer to mine Copper.

what I would love to see is a tutorial on how to create applications using monero, I would like to create a store using monero with a web framework (ex. Laravel/PHP, Django/Python, etc.) but when searching for tutorials, I haven't find anything good.

Nothing I do works when I try all this stuff, it just keeps saying connection error or dns error

I don't even use Monero for anything, yet I still run the miner from time to time

awesome ive been wanting monero for years

What do I care about transaction fees when I can use second layer technologies like Lightning. A Raspberry costs me 150€.

Hello, i downloaded the Windows version of the xmrig, and it doesnt look the same as yours, and i cant type in anything, im really dead in the water when it comes to this so if anyone has a solution i would greatly appreciate it :) It also says ''OPENCL DISABLED, CUDA DISABLED'' As well as its saying it failed to apply MSR MOD. Also that huge pages is 0% 0/4 memory for the cpu 😶‍🌫🤔🤔

Yooo, my mans mining on a Threadripper 3970X and has 128GiB of RAM in his rig. Now thats a lot of power.

Is that rust as thumbnail?

When I saw your hashrate I almost forgot how to breath.

Waiting for that Ryzen 9 7950X3D to come home to slowly start paying for itself

My CPU now bleeds at 100% for Monero-Chan

Thank you so much!!! Please do more tutorials like these!

Should you be in TOR before you begin visiting the get Monero site and all the other sites you mentioned? Is it a good idea to have your ISP see you mining crypto?

You are an og if you watched the old xmr-stak version of this video

Monero GUI literally part of the Arch library. Mining monero was how I got into Arch linux. I would also suggest moneroocean as a pool and xmrig-mo as a miner. Your threadripper must be really unoptimized. rx/0. On my 3970 does 32K average. Something very wrong if you are only getting 26K on the same cpu.

There’s a concrete reason for XMRig being flagged by AV 8:48.. It is packaged along with QEMU and a few other ingredients to mine unsuspecting users PCs in a covert, distributed manner.

If anyone out their is able to mine monero on 64 bit ARM processors I'd say do so. They're far more power efficient than regular desktop processors, for me mining monero is no longer profitable due to my area seeing a 300% increase in electric prices in the last 3 years. If you do decide to go down this route, I advice removing your battery as constant charging and use are not good things for Li-Ion batteries. Don't burn your house down. On my old Huawei P20, I can get 400hs for a few watts.

Monero-chan is enough of a reason.

idk I kinda like to gamble with the solo mine. Especially if your mostly doing it for monero chan, you might as well go big or go home.

THIS IS A HONEYPOT Mental Outlaw taught me .s

I did what you said and it seems to be working. Thanks Mental Outlaw!

This channel is turning into crypto bro

Idk who monero chan is so I'm good on that

Surely there is a way around the hardware prefetches issue? It concerns me having to run anything related to cryptocurrency as root TBH. Is there a good recommended video on how this works that anyone here would recommend?

Great content, as always! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

personally not a fan of crypto, ofc that's another issue 😂 but it's really good to see focus on "better crypto" algorithms/strategies.

"This is your recovery phrase. Make sure nobody sees it" * shows it to everyone on RU-vid *

Thanks for showing us this. Don't know if I will ever try it, but it is interesting. I suspect Monero will get banned sometime for overuse by illegal drug industry.

I appreciate the sneed's feed and seed midi cover

I have a slightly older workstation from a mould shop. Is it possible to run 2 instances of XMRig on the same machine - one for the CPU and another that just uses the GPU?

i get error when starting, anyone help? '"C:\monero\xmrig-6.22.0"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Press any key to continue . . .

I have a question that you might want to turn into a video about opsec: What isn't bad opsec? In a serious relationship you're not supposed to keep secrets from your significant other, but what if they don't follow good opsec rules? Are they a security threat if the glowies show up for whatever reason? What about people knowing that you have a second computer? To most people it's small enough not to be a problem mentioning it if someone asks, but if a friend knows about it and mentions it, that is also a security breach, right? What about a second phone? Your significant other might think it's for cheating or whatever since you never mentioned it to them, or if you say it's a work phone, they might, again, mention it because "a work phone isn't a big deal". In fact, about secondary phones, you mentioned putting it in tinfoil to create a Faraday's Cage in another video. Again, if anyone sees it, there is no way they won't find it weird, and if anyone asks they WILL mention it. I'm not just asking about friends or family (though the folks you spend most time with are also most likely to leak something they don't know is a threat). Are my consoles a threat if they connect to the internet? I wanted to check what kind of traffic my 3DS tries to send, but that would also mean that there will be some sort of connection between the computer I use and that, right? Virtual machines. Are they a good enough way to mask anything? They should still have a lot of your system's specs, so mayb not because of fingerprinting? Same goes for dual booting. In another video (TOR users that got caught) you mentioned the guy that got his laptop apprehended at the airport and you said it was just generally a bad idea to bring the laptop in which you do your personal online activity on a trip, but wouldn't it be damning if the guy they were tracking stopped their online activity at the same time as you leaving the house for a trip? Again, what isn't bad opsec? None of these things in particular are enough to make a connection between you and your online activity (except for fingerprinting, but even there I hope it's debatable), but they are still enough to raise enough suspicion to investigate further and more tightly, right?

2:30 the fire hazard is quite terrifying

Bitmain came up with a risc v miner , the anti miner x5 and now monero wants to keep amd mining only with a random x v2 fork . risc v is way more open source then amd and intel CPUs that come with gubmint backdoors doesn’t this undermine the whole privacy ethos of monero ?

technology is depressing

This dude got me to install all this shit to then realise it makes like 2 cents a day using a 4ghz processor 💀

I used to think monero was the best for value and cardano for smart contracts. That was before I realized the original bitcoin paper was still wildly misunderstood and I turned to bsv

it's not about the money, it's about sending message

I love the Rust excavator pit as the thumbnail

The fixed amount of BTC with it being deflationary is not the boon that many Austrian economists and "hard money" types think it is. Fixed amounts of true currency can lead to just as much financial fuckery as an inflationary fiat currency. Having a fairly low but stable level of inflation is probably better and less volatile. It seems this is the case with monero too. It seems less prone to wild volatility than other coins

You failed to mention that the Bitcoin algorithm is designed to make mining progressively more difficult over time which is why ASIC mining machines are obsolete by the time your mining machine is actually shipped to you. Waiting lists for these things crammed full and it takes months to get one. If you try to buy one secondhand people sell them for up to 10 times what they cost brand new.

I looked it up. I would be at a loss with my 5900X even with decent RAM at the promised 14k hs on reddit, due to my electricity cost. I know that Monero is more usable than the other ones. But I don't think I would mine it even if electricity would be free. The profits are just so low. No, I didn't mine during the pandemic either, and didn't sell my 580 for 3x the price. I just don't care. This will one day be useful, but that's not in this decade.

I'll mine it if you make a video (or series) of you going through the source code so we can all check together that it is fine. I think that's a cool idea anyways. And I haven't seen much of that specific idea on youtube.

Monero-Chan hungry...Monero-Chan must feed.

i'm waiting for the energy prices to be affordable again, I used to mine monero with all my systems when they we're idling

Nice tutorial. Also, it is nice seeing someone use Ubuntu rather than Windows for a change. Running XMRig as a user was giving 444 H/s Running as root gives 650 H/s That's strange.

Is there some way to estimate how much you would make with your hardware? With the inflation of energy prices I kinda doubt I'd break even to begin with.

waste electricity sia

Unfortunately, I don't think my Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 cpu wont my mine much 😂.
