Good day to you all. I actually found my way here in researching the XMR "coin". I have a great interest in communications. Now whereas i know bit-message is probably a suitably,e choice over XMR to relay message peer to peer. I am still very interested in the method. At this time i do not have anything but a CPU to generate this mining stuff. Next to outright purchasing the stuff what other methods exist to obtain XMR?
You can mine Monero with your CPU. But dont expect to get much since many mine it and difficulty is high. But will starting mining it you will learn a lot so is worth to try.
