You sure about that... Pretty sure computers use electricity. You're paying more than a few pennies per hour actually. Storage also has a cost ... Regardless, just because it doesn't cost hardly anything doesn't mean it's a good use of time and storage.

And I thought running nodes for a decentralised network is a good thing.

Obviously only if it's BTC. Come on. Monero has the second most nodes behind BTC. It has proper decentralised mining. Some argue even better than BTC thanks to p2p pool mining.

Now combine that with merchant usage. Monero usually ranks first if both BTC and XMR are offered.

Bitcoin is nice. That's why I am into it for 15 years. But when it comes to money I spend daily I prefer the cash like qualities of Monero and so do many other OGs.

The only thing you are showcasing here is your own stubbornness and ignorance.

No..."proper mining"... If you call 3 or 4 hard forks over just a few years and changing monetary policy and adding tail emissions as "proper" mining, you don't know enough about monero , or you're being swindled by a privacy narrative.

I am in Bitcoin for 15 years and Monero for 10 years.

I am quite familiar with both. Chances are I know a shitload more about both than you do.

Dark markets are just one part of how the world works. The majority of market activity takes place in clearnet and always will.

I'm happy to argue facts all day. Appealing to your personal knowledge won't do you any good. Use your knowledge and argue facts. The fact is, monero is a defunt blockchain rife with a history of hardforks and no large user base. Tell me what's the estimated volume on XMR in 24 hour trend over the last 10 years? How many XMR transactions are happening on average this year per day?

Hanshan 9mo ago

monero averages 25-30k txs per day

how is that "defunct"?

Hanshan 9mo ago

hey

heres some facts for you!

Thank you but this is one market.

Feel free to look at the updated stats. It's the same story every time.

Now expect the silence to hit home hard.

Hanshan 9mo ago

Monero added tail emission in 2015, after being live for less than one year.

Theres nothing wrong with consensus hard forks.

OceanSlim 9mo ago

No there's not. That doesn't inherently make it a good change.

Hanshan 9mo ago

"good change?"

we're not concerned about some abstract quality of "goodness"

we're concerned whether the community agrees to it or not.

OceanSlim 9mo ago

You're community has a flawed view of money and its role. It's okay to disagree. 🤙🏻

Hanshan 9mo ago

a totally ambiguous nothing statement 👍

OceanSlim 9mo ago

Yes. My opinion.

Hanshan 9mo ago

its a non sequitur that contributes nothing

but understand you want to dip 👍

Haven't used Monero in a while. How do you spend Monero daily? I can't think of a place that accepts Monero? Are you using some intermediate service to use it? Would be interested in setting up Monero payments for my nostr relay...

ede3d957... 9mo ago

I am in Bitcoin for 15 years meaning I started to spend it very early on. For a couple of years I expanded my network to Monero, so now I pay nearly 100% in Monero. Where not possible I exchange for LN or other accepted shitcoins on the spot. There are also proxy services that van you get basically anything legal. Then there are DNM for everything else.

My experience from VPS, VPN, email services, giftcard shops, online shops is that whenever Monero is accepted it dominates the business which is kinda weird for such a "small" crypyocurrency. So my advice is. Just add it and people will come. You are then free yo exchange it to BTC at anytime if you believe it'l outperform over the long run.

Monero's perceived tinieness is probably a result of years of price suppression and recently delistings that no other coin had to face.

The community in my opinion is the third largest behind BTC and ETH which one can see when looking at node charts. It has the second most nodes of all chains only little less than BTC.
