Monero can't be hacked to steal your funds, due to the power of distributed consensus. This means that you are responsible for your own money, and don't have to trust any entity to keep it safe for you. Monero is private. The power of the blockchain usually increases security at the cost of privacy, but with Monero's sophisticated privacy-centric technology, you get all of the security benefits of the blockchain without any of the privacy trade-offs.

Monero is untraceable. By taking advantage of ring signatures, Monero makes it ambiguous which funds have been spent, and thus extremely unlikely that a transaction could be linked to any particular user. Monero is fungible. Because of its on-by-default privacy technologies, Monero is fungible, which means that one Monero will always be equal to another.

This ensures that there will be no discrimination over the origin or history of your coins, lessening the worry of potential blacklisting by exchanges or vendors. Guidelines • Breaking the guidelines may result in a deleted post and possible ban.

Is Monero at a point where mining on my PC with a decent GPU is still decent? Mining is not a. Mining for now. Easier and cheaper to buy XMR. Hi, I've created a website to check & submit GPU & CPU benchmarks, as a XMR miner & newcomer (+1.5 month), I haven't found a source like this except a couple of google docs but they are outdated. So It'd be really helpful to community to count on this.

I'm considering mining some cryptocoins for 'fun'.I just want to try it out, see how it works and maybe make a few bucks in the process. A lot of people told me to look at ETH but apparently my GPU doesn't work for that so next up was Monero. I have two systems, one is a Intel Core i5 6600k with a Geforce GTX 760. The other is an i5 2300 with a GTX 560ti.

I pay about $.1 per kwh for electric. I also have a couple of older systems but I doubt they'd be worth running (q6600 CPU I think?).

Is Monero worth mining with these specs? And once I start mining how can I get a rough idea of what I might be making per day? I doubt you will get that much Monero, because you don't have that many hashrate. However, your kWh rate is kind of low so you could give it a try. In addition, if you solomine you will contribute to strengthening and securing the network, which is good for the overall security of Monero. Furthermore, running a full node (you don't necessarily have to mine in order to run a full node) is the most privacy-preserving. That is, other versions (like a webwallet, or a remote node) will have a detrimental effect on privacy.

And once I start mining how can I get a rough idea of what I might be making per day? Not entirely sure about that. If you could calculate your hashrate it is fairly easy. There is currently around 10k of Monero mined each day. Thus, you have to calculate what percentage of the hashrate you own. If you know that you can calculate how many Monero you'll get on average per day.

For example, if you have 1000 H/s (1 KH/s) and the current Monero network hashrate is around 15 MH/s (15000 KH/s), you will get 1/15000 * 10000, which is 2/3 Monero per day on average. Indeed, but a higher hashrate distributed on few nodes could also make the network vulnerable to more than a 51% attack. These nodes could be targeted somehow (ddos, super-secret power grid manipulation - lets get paranoid!). Unfortunately though I think the current best answer is having a higher hashrate with adequate hash distribution. And I imagine this as many high-hash nodes.

Not 1-2 high hash nodes and the rest solo miners. We need a nice normal distribution curve. Apparently cuckoo cycle makes it more difficult to pool somehow, so if we ever migrate to that we could encounter the many solo miners vs. High hashrate thing. Ultimately the questions is what you think Monero is worth.

If you want to burn electricity, support the network, and maybe get some coins to hold for a while, then its definitely worth it. I did some napkin calculations and with a single newish CPU core (gets around 50-70 h/s), you have the same percentage of total network hashrate that the newest bitcoin ASIC would get you of the bitcoin network.

So, you can spend thousands of dollars on specialized equipment (and 100's of dollars for the multiple kilowatts it probably pulls down) to 'own' a piece of the bitcoin mining network and possibly get some reward. Or, you can run some software on your home computer at a cost that is relatively (to the bitcoin situation) free. My point is, if you think Monero is actually going somewhere, then there is absolutely no reason not to mine on any hardware (ok, less than 10 h/s is probably a fools errand). All signs point to yes in my book. I realized I didn't know some things, popping in to this thread.

What software is used to mine? Some derivation of cgminer/sgminer? A CLI wallet? Windows, and/or linux options available?

To anyone's knowledge (as I gather it's CPU mining) has anyone made a chart of known approximate hashrates from various CPUs yet? Is CPU mining dependent upon cache? Number of cores? If someone had say 5 PCs to their own disposal, how might they aggregately solo mine, or should that person just solo mine on each box?

WHAT IS AEON? AEON is a private, secure, untraceable currency.

You are your bank, you control your funds, and nobody can trace your transfers. • Privacy: AEON uses a cryptographically sound system to allow you to send and receive funds without your transactions being easily revealed on the blockchain (the ledger of transactions that everyone has). This ensures that your purchases, receipts, and all transfers remain absolutely private by default. • Security: Using the power of a distributed peer-to-peer consensus network, every transaction on the network is cryptographically secured. Individual wallets have a 24 word mnemonic that is only displayed once, and can be written down to backup the wallet. Wallet files are encrypted with a passphrase to ensure they are useless if stolen. • Untraceability: By taking advantage of ring signatures, a special property of certain types of cryptography, AEON is able to ensure that transactions are not only untraceable, but have an optional measure of ambiguity that ensures that transactions cannot easily be tied back to an individual user or computer.

What Do You Need To Mine Emercoin EMC on this page. The most obvious change is that there is no longer need to download for AMD/NVIDIA and CPU independent miner.

You can mine on all architectures just from one pre- or self-compiled binary. During the first start you will be guided to configure the miner. XMR-Stak is now supporting Monero and Aeon without recompiling. Features • Supports all common backends (CPU/x86, AMD-GPU and NVIDIA-GPU) • Supports all common OS (Linux, Windows and MacOS) • Supports algorithm cryptonight for Monero (XMR) and cryptonight-light (AEON) • Guided start (no need to edit a config file for the first start) • Automatic configuration for each mining backend • Allows to tweak each core or gpu by hand • Supports backup pools • TLS support • HTML statistics • JSON API for monitoring • Support the new stratum • Easy precompiled and portable Linux binary The miner is fully open source (GPLv3). This means each improvement can be reused by the community and you have always the possibility to verify the source code. We are also raising funds for two new exciting projects to take Monero mining to a new level - see if you like them: • • • • •.

Great work, big fan of you Nvidia mining software. I've just downloaded the precompiled x64 version and have ran into the following errors when running with the pre-config settings: [CUDA] Error gpu 0::207 [CUDA] Error gpu 0::244 Sticking the values in that i previously had for xmr-stak-nvidia and it runs fine but at half the hashes for the standalone. I'll have a play around with the config and get back with what I find. CPU miner is seeing really good hashrates. Thanks for all of the hard work!
