Does this look good? Im using a remote node.
Quick question...I was wondering if it is still the case that only mined bitcoin (xmr in this case) is truly not traceable? like in the case of the silkroad where that chick at some university who used bitcoin leaving the block chain then reentering it to defeat tors anonymity.It was a whole big thing. Would it be advantageous to mine not for getting rich but to get xmr that can't be traced in the traditional ways. And also would you have to mine only by yourself to get those benefits or would mining in a pool still be cool?

Hi! So right now i am mining pep with srb miner and zpool but I am considering switching to monero. I have a decent laptop for gaming with 8 or 12 cpu cores I believe. Amd ryzen.
What would be the best way to switch to monero?
I am fairly new to mining only started last week.
My pc is already almost always on. So want to use mining to make some of the electricity costs back and preferably make a profit in total :)
Hi new here. Very little computer knowledge. currently Mining xmr on old devices.
Current devices:
Rpg strix, windows 11 Intel i7 9thgen, nvidia Geforce rtx. currently mining xmr
HP pavilion g6, AMD vision A6 running windows 7 32bit os (I can't remember why and idk how to fix) mines xmr at a few hundred hashes painfully slow.
Google pixel 9 running termux xmrig. (Need to understand config files better to play with hash rates I feel like this phone should do more than 800h/s.)
X2 lg g6 phones stuck on android 9 occasionally running termux (mines for a bit but something kills it idk if it is that os kills it because of not enough ram, seen something about needing to root but idk how to go about this.)
HTC desire 530 phone, stuck on windows 6, I believe it has a 32bit os so havet found anything I can mine other than PI coin.
6)acer b1-710 tablet, stuck on android 4.1, from my reading this thing is only good for a paper weight or digital photo frame.
I seen a vid on xmrig proxy but I don't really understand porting. Do I just the change numbers after the pool to divide work. For example do I change ca.monero.herominers.com:1111 to ca.monero.herominers.com:2222 or am I way off track.
Config for termux on my Google pixel 9 for reference. ./xmrig -o ca.monero.herominers.com:1111 -u -p Moto9 -k --coin monero -a rx/0
What do I do
at this point i have been mining monero on P2Pool for 7 days on and off, i have a hashrate avarege of 3367 H/s, for ~28 hours when electricity was cheaper and i havent gotten a single payout yet and it seems unlikely to be like that, i know its luck based but like come on.
Looking to put $400 Canadian into my mining efforts. I have limited computer knowledge (most of it being automotive based). I am currently mining xmr on 2 laptops and 3 phones. I have been thinking about diversifying. What route would you go with and why?
Thank you to anyone willing to take the time to give there opinion.
When it comes time to cash in from my Monero Wallet, whats the best/cheapest way? Done some reading and most sell on sites to other wallets, I'm confused and don't want to miss a big peak. Just want to sell enough to cover charges of building 7 miners 3 years ago.
If running on a 5950X, and assuming 2 sticks of dual-rank running in dual channel on a 5950X, is there any difference between:
2x16 GB DDR4 3600 CL18
2x16 GB DDR4 3200 CL16
I just checked miningpoolstats and I saw that nanopool's hashrate is concerningly high. (~30%) Should I be worried about this?
Just made a third monero gui setup and after a bunch of hiccups it is finally up and syncing the Daemon. I have the automated set to ever 10 mins (default setting) but it keeps telling me it has Failed to Autosave the Wallet. Should I be concerned? Is this possibly something that i need to stop and restart the computer for? Any advice would be great, thanks.
Does how much ram you have effect your hashrate...sorry for the noob question?
Probably a stupid noob question, but... I setup monero wallet on a linux pc, and i'm currently waiting for daemon blocks to download completely. Then, I setup 2 different windows servers with xmrig, copied my monero wallet address into the .json file, and started mining. All 3 "profits" will be going to the same place right?
Do XMR proxies that can be connected to WebSockets no longer exist?
I would like to know if there is a proxy like ny1.xmrminingproxy.com, and if there is a way to create one.
If I'm running a local node, do I have to download the blockchain on solo miners using that node, or will they use the copy from it?
Hello, I'm currently at 99% of guppaxx node download and my xmrig isnt connected to any pool for some reasons and I have this ginormous amount of shares that aren't reel. Can someone tell me why this is happening? Thanks in advance
I have installed a Monero GUI and select the option Remote Node I connected to a remote node and it is running. Does connecting to remote node means it is also doing the mining? And if that remote node found a block, do I get the share as well? Anyone, please answer to my questions if you know. TIA
So I’m mining in supportxmr for some time with ~50khs hashrate using proxy I looked at /1/summary of proxy the other day and found out that 1-2% of shares are expired, is there a way to fix it?
Btw miners to proxy give 0 expired/invalid/rejected shares
How to create monero node
I wrote this up a while back - but have been in a sort of exile. Happy to answer questions - and no it's far from profitable nowadays. I'm always looking for optimizations and arbitrage though! (I wrote it for the average tech reader so there's a lot of pre-amble on mining etc)
Abstract
Using EC2 T2 spot instances, it has been possible to optimize T2 launch credits to gain the most cost effective compute on any public IaaS. Coupling this technique with AWS Organizations, this process can be scaled to every AWS region and 100s of accounts. In late 2017 to early 2018, it was possible to use this methodology to mine highly-liquid cryptocurrencies for profit but other practical distributed compute applications exist.
Introduction
The majority of cryptocurrencies require the solving of complex math to add to their ledger (blockchain) and validate transactions. Although public cloud provides an accessible and near-infinite supply of compute, the liquid nature of the market generally does not allow arbitrage of cloud compute for profitable crypto-mining. Most cryptocurrencies have algorithms that allow for custom chipsets (ASIC) or GPU mining, although others (such as Monero) are intentionally forked to discourage all but CPU mining.
AWS EC2 Spot History
At re:Invent in November 2017, AWS announced a change to Spot pricing:-
“As part of today’s launch we are also changing the way that Spot prices change, moving to a model where prices adjust more gradually, based on longer-term trends in supply and demand.”
This change was implemented in the weeks prior to the official announcement. A previously implemented Lambda script running daily against Spot Pricing API noticed the dramatic reduction and new floor for all instances and regions. Uniquely, us-west-2’s m1.large Spot price fell to $0.00 for a number of days before gradually increasing to comparable region pricing.
T2 instances were also added to the new Spot Market in November 2017, having been previously specifically excluded. Although these instances weren’t at the greatest discount compared to other EC2 families, other unique factors allow us to take advantage of their inclusion in the Spot Market.
AWS T2 launch credits
T2 instances in Standard mode can have their CPU throttled to between 5%-30% depending on the instance size and past CPU utilization. One exception is during initial launch when an instance is assigned credits to allow for a good startup experience.
“There is a limit to the number of times T2 Standard instances can receive launch credits. The default limit is 100 launches or starts of all T2 Standard instances combined per account, per Region, per rolling 24-hour period.” EC2 Documentation
The cheapest/smallest instance available on the Spot Market is t2.micro which launches with 30 launch credits. Assuming 100% CPU optimization, the launch credits per instance will be exhausted in 30 minutes. For ease of management and resource contention, this allows us to run 2 instances per region every 30 minutes for 24 hour full allocation of CPU credits. Modern Linux distributions can be optimized to boot in less than 2 minutes, leaving 93%+ application CPU utilization.
AWS Organization and account seeding
As each account is limited to the number of launch credits per region, the above process can only be scaled to the number of regions available from AWS. By using AWS Organizations, accounts with independent launch credit allocation can be created via an API.
“New accounts may have a lower limit, which increases over time based on your usage.” EC2 Documentation
It was found during experimentation, that launching any T2 instance for any time period in a region, would allow that account and region to use the default launch credits after 72 hours. With per-second billing, this incurs a negligible cost for seeding each account and region to use the full allotment of launch credits.
By creating 250 sub-accounts, seeding them, and running each account across 10 regions, it is theoretically possible to utilize up to 5,000 T2 instances at 100% CPU, although the new Spot Market does not guarantee instance availability regardless of bid price. Practical experimentation in early 2018 showed that no more than approximately 1,000 t2.micro instances could be provisioned at any one time. Attempts to over-provision would also cause the Spot Market price to gradually rise. Furthermore, the performance and cost in some regions was not profitable at market rates of cryptocurrencies and so only a limited number of regions could be targeted.
Further optimization and considerations
Publicly available mining software is not optimized for AWS instances under the assumption there is no legal and profitable usage. Additional properties of T2’s CPUs compared to commercial chip sets can be better utilized by modifying open source code (see Appendix).
As an instance must first boot into its OS, building an optimized AMI is crucial for not wasting launch credits on boot. EBS and other complementary EC2 services must also be reduced to a minimum as these costs are fixed and not subject to Spot Pricing.
GCP has concepts similar to AWS Spot Instances (Preemptible Instances) but with only an 80% discount and differing CPU types/performance on launch, they were not a suitable candidate.
Although Azure now has a Spot Instance market, in 2017 only batch Windows instances were available which were not cost-effective or optimized for distributed compute.
In February 2019, AWS EC2 Fleet documentation was amended to note T2 Spot Instances:-
“Repeated launches of T2 instances to access new launch credits is not permitted.”
Although it is not clear if this restriction refers to just EC2 Fleet usage, this documentation change should be considered and clarified before any future usage of launch credits.
Additional CPU and cost optimizations are likely to exist outside of well known documentation. Experimentation and analysis across other IaaS vendors and instance types should continue.
Hey Guys!
I'm new to mining into a p2pool, I just synced my daemon with my GUI wallet, and I'm mining to my wallet, the experience was good and a surprisingly easy, just needed time, a lot of time.
But it's been 4 days already, and gupax, says I've been paid 11 times, I go to the wallet, check it, and only got 2 payouts, where are the rest, p2pool says the same, but I didn't receive to my wallet (wallet is synced btw).
I've double-checked the wallet, and it's good, if I received the first one, why didn't I receive the rest.
It's super wired.
Can anyone help?
I'm getting an "end of file" error I've uninstalled and installed and changed config files multiple times and cant get it to work
I was wondering if it would be noticeable to setup a big mining farm or small farm in the restaurant ceiling or hiding it in the back of Walmart in the wall or something?
Hey Everybody,
I've inquired about mining monero in the past but have finally decided to pull the trigger and try mining for fun. From what I have seen most people use XMRIG to mine monero, but it appears that this requires a GUI. Ideally I would like to be able to run mining software via linux CLI over SSH. Is there a way to mine monero using a CLI based program? Or do I have to install a GUI on my linux server environment to mine monero?
