A mining central processing unit (CPU) is a small heater that happens to hash. Watts are how fast electricity goes in. Almost every watt comes back out as heat. The fan does not destroy it. The fan moves it into the room. If the room is warm, the chip starts warmer too. Temperature is not the…
I've been building monostr for a few weeks: an Android Nostr client where the "zap" is a Monero tip. No Lightning, no custodian, no KYC wallet in the middle. How it works: you register your primary address and private view key with a watcher (the same trust model as stasher.news, which is where I…
Hey everyone, first post here! We've been building an app called Horus. We wanted to code from our phones, so we got agents like Claude Code and Codex running natively on Android in a real Alpine Linux terminal. No root needed. Give the agent a task, lock your screen, and it keeps working in the…
Unlike Bitcoin, which relies heavily on specialized hardware (ASICs), Monero uses the RandomX algorithm, designed for regular CPUs. You can start mining XMR with any decent computer (AMD Ryzen; Intel Core i5/i7), a reliable internet connection and, of course, a Monero wallet. The best option for…
The fourth weekly rewards distribution cycle is complete and Stasher News launched one month ago (28 days ago to be exact, but hey, some months have 28 days). Notably, there have been over 485 tip transactions and almost one whole XMR has been tipped peer to peer (0.94 XMR tipped to be exact).…
Everyone remembers their first Monero. How did you get yours? Mining on a laptop that sounded like a jet engine? A P2P trade? A friend who wouldn't shut up about it until you caved? An ATM at 2 AM? Tell the story — the sketchier the better.

This is a practice network for a Monero upgrade called FCMP++ and Carrot. It is not mainnet. The coins on it are not your real coins. Your normal wallet stays where it is. A node is just the program that downloads the chain and talks to other computers. The test needs its own node. The one you…
Hello geeks, I am curious to know who mine Monero using their homelab? I got myself a Lenovo P510 with E5-2698 v4 a year ago, I then increased to 128Gb ram. I self host a media and photo library at first but then increased with Nostr Relays and projects. I fell into the Monero and Bitcoin rabbit…
For people who already know what and why we need better OPSEC. We have been operating under an assumption that doxxing comes with high costs and requires intensive resources. And that deanonymisation is possible but expensive, that linking a forum account to a real identity takes a skilled…
There’s a rounded value heuristic (often discussed in Bitcoin privacy) which is inherited by any public chain, including non-shielded Zcash. This isn’t the case when values are hidden, especially for Monero and any shielded Zcash (or future shielded Bitcoin). A pool boundary… twitter.com/yfarmx/status/2109671242458358176

Welcome to Stasher. With this post, I want to introduce you to the funniest game powered by Monero, a privacy coin you can earn and spend to create insightful posts and thoughtful comments. I discovered Monero a long time ago, forgot about it, and this game gave me an opportunity to dust off my…

Hi While reading the discussion under Whats next at Stasher, what direction shall we move in? , I realized it was time to try something I've had on my mind for a while. One thing stood out in the comments: people want content that's worth reading and worth bookmarking and coming back to.…

First published July 5, 2018 Came across this essay on the internets, hope it educates you the reader as much as it educated me. I admit I used to believe in Bitcoin. I was one of its most naïve and vehement apologists to friends, family members, and complete strangers (online). This was all before…
I put a small UPS on the flex mining/main ops PC. Not because mining has to run 24/7 no matter what; but a dirty blip is worse than a clean stop on the mothership. This UPS is a smooth sine wave. Cheap UPS units fake that on battery with a stepped / simulated wave. A lot of modern PC power supplies…

Hi everyone, new here, and also my very first post. I have been active in the Monero space for a number of years now. I have 2 computers that are not the newest, nor the most powerful. So, I put them to work, solo mining against my own local daemon. It's quite a good feeling when you know that you…
The miner is the same on all three. RandomX, xmrig, P2Pool. Gupax is still the easy door: one GUI, bundled P2Pool + xmrig, primary address (the 4 one), start P2Pool then xmrig. Don't begin in a terminal. What changes is how the operating system gets in the way. Windows Antivirus will quarantine…
