In the past days it's really not worthy to mine Monero, any one have better suggestion?

It's still one of the most profitable coins for me to mine, but I've definitely seen my daily earnings decrease. With the slight dip in XMR price, I do expect the network hashrate to fall back to where it was for the last ~2 weeks.

Assuming you are mining XMR with GPUs, other good GPU alternatives are ETH, ZCASH, sometimes LBRY - or depending on the price any coins that implement the same mining algorithms as the ones I list. https://whattomine.com is your friend.

I'm short XMR as 80$, hope it dump  Sad Sad Sad

Sorry but monero will never see $80 again. But it is very low right now so it may be a good time to cut and open a long. Wink

How is the new Monero fork gonna affect the network?

1. Better scale?
2. Better privacy?
3. Mining difficulty will remain the same?
4. Any other features?

See here:

https://getmonero.org/2017/09/07/monero-0.11.0.0-released.html

Just reading the list makes my head hurt.  I realize that near 40 people were contributing, but, WOW!  That's a work list!


Thanks for the link man.

I would like to read more about this "added cold-signing functionality, and a relay_tx command / RPC call".

Does anyone have a link?

Yes I see, thanks for honest answer.

I am trying to write an objective article about Monero vs Dash, and whereas I get good answers for Monero questions. I usually get hostility, namecalling, and troll posts in the Dash community.

I try to remain objective but I already see the level of maturity difference between the 2 communities.

Here's a comparison. Sure it's biased but I think the more important question is: "Is it accurate?"

If quantum tech becomes the reality, I expect all technology to radically change.

Things will have to move and migrate with the times.

You say its not an issue for bitcoin? but you don't have any bitcoin! because I just got your key/login/whatever with my quantum computer and now its drained.





No I was referring to it that it's not a retroactive issue. BTC can implement Schorr signature or whatever its called which is quantum resistant.

At which point you just send your BTC to a new address and it's over.


Whereas in Monero if Monero will get upgraded to a QC resistant algo, you will send your money to a new address.

The problem however is that the entire blockchain up to that point will be deanonymized.

So Monero doesn't provide forward-anonymity.

I see what you are saying, and that looks like the case, at this time - but again - least of our worries.  Chances are QC will cause such a shit storm everywhere else, that it just won't matter, or, there will be sufficient notice to deal with it.  The fact that it is being proactively examined is reassuring.  Let's burn our bridges as we get to them, no need to get ahead of ourselves.

Ok sure, but I'm pretty positive Monero is the only cryptocurrency project that have hired Ph.D mathematicians that are looking into that very thing you are worried about...

Unlike Dash who hired some random youtuber with tits to make videos/promote them.  And I really don't mean for that to be read in a condocending tone, but hopefully you can see that there is just no reasonable comparison one could make about any other "cryptocurrency project" in relation to Monero except maybe Bitcoin.

Edit: this wasn't really directed at you personally... just wanted to get my thought out there about that subject.
