Why did you remove the “How do I start mining monero?” post?
Because the OP may have been a child? Or simply because it should have been asked in Monero Mining rather than in Monero? Or perhaps because the question was trivial (too basic)?
While I do feel (a few more) rules are necessary here, I’d like them to be explicit and transparent, if possible. Thank you.
@Saki @monerobull Okay Answer that, I’m curious now because of you, why specific country? Let me guess, to watch geo-restricted Netflix movies or maybe other streaming services there, but that thing I believe wasn’t built for that, and relying to unofficial app could have their money stolen.
The kid needs 5 € to get VPN. Mining xmr for that is inefficient. A logical question to ask (before explaining how to mine) is: do you really need VPN to begin with? Can’t you use a no-charge option instead? That’s why I asked that.
ExitNodesin torrc is a well-documented, official option of Tor, not a “hack”. You’re right, one should not use it unless really necessary. Example: you’re on Tor buying a digital gift card from proxystore with xmr; they ask your country; if you’re a EU citizen, you might want to say non-EU. When you do that, common sense dictates it’s better if your exit node is not in the EU, say in the US. When you redeem your “American” gift card, again you may want to play it safe and consistently use a US exit node in case they GeoIP you. When you’re done, you delete theExitNodes&StrictNodesdirectives. Just one example.@Saki I didn’t know that, thank you. 😁👍
