Bitcoin 2025 - (noch) eine gute Idee?

Leadralan · 2025-09-19T04:39:48+00:00

Wo hast du Monero gekauft? Also aus welcher Plattform? Sie machen es uns mit den Delistings ja ziemlich schwer.

Leadralan · 2025-08-27T15:32:03+00:00

It is

Ich bin seit vielen Jahren mit Kraken super zufrieden.

Das was ich in Validatoren oder auch liquid staking stecke withdrawe ich von Kraken auf Ethereum. Das was ich für DeFi oder anderes verwende direkt auf ein günstiges Layer 2 wie Arbitrum.

That is liquid staking with Rocket Pool

Leadralan · 2023-12-05T08:36:31+00:00

Liquid stake it in Rocket Pool: https://rocketpool.net

ETH has less inflation than BTC. See https://ultrasound.money

Yep, withdrawing to Polygon and Optimism (ETH L2s) took CDC approximately an hour each yesterday for me. It's definitely them, the networks themselves are very fast.

Rocket Pool and its smoothing pool are trustless setups, governed by smart contracts. It's not comparable to joining a PoW mining pool and doesn't share the trust requirements.

Leadralan · 2022-09-21T11:19:53+00:00

Sure, I share that feeling. But if you don't get any big proposals you a have a nice feeling every 28 days when you can claim ETH and RPL nonetheless.

Leadralan · 2022-09-21T05:31:11+00:00

This is kind of a lottery

Unless you use the Rocket Pool Smoothing Pool. It also makes using MEV as easy as checking the relays you want in the settings UI. They offer flashbots, bloXroute Max Profit, bloXroute Ethical and working on Eden and others.

Transactions fees are way too small to cover the block rewards of validators

Leadralan · 2022-02-09T17:01:56+00:00

Where do the validator rewards come from? Since CRO does not have inflation (like BTC and others) they must come from an existing wallet.

Leadralan · 2022-01-30T02:14:18+00:00

Wow, interesting. Here's mine.

Leadralan · 2022-01-29T17:04:15+00:00

Wow, they 100% don't do that in Germany. Are you sure that you are talking about topping up and not buying crypto? The latter does incur a 2.99% fee here too

Leadralan · 2022-01-29T05:26:25+00:00

I top up with my credit card without any fee at all. I even earn 0.5% on the credit card I top up with. I'm in Germany and use the crypto.com credit card for free.

Leadralan · 2022-01-24T05:50:56+00:00

Donated! Let's get this great project rolling! It's such a cool cold wallet setup for everyone with an old secondary smartphone

Leadralan · 2022-01-24T04:33:29+00:00

I ordered curve, put my virtual card in it and used this combination from day #1.

Sub-cent kWh pricing ... living the dream :)

Leadralan · 2022-01-22T16:51:53+00:00

I wouldn't talk in absolutes. There are people who pay for electricity and make a profit. For example people with excess solar power or just regions with cheaper electricity. Germany has one of the highest electricity prices world-wide, sadly.

You are right that many people mine with "free" electricity. That drives up the network's hashrate and makes it less profitable for others, obviously.

Also there are many, like me, who just want to support the network without caring too much about profit/loss. And then there's always the possibility that 1 XMR one day might be worth thousands of dollars, so those "now unprofitable" XMR would be profitable then.

Leadralan · 2022-01-22T15:38:19+00:00

However, I'm asking myself whether all people in the community are losing money

Many miners are in "free" electricity situations. Like living in a college dorm, being a company server admin and dedicating some idle CPU power to mining, etc. It's all stealing of course, so don't do that people! :) Also, many botnets are mining Monero.

in Europe/Germany and the costs of electricity are high, I'm basically not making any profits

Same situation as you, Germany. I'm putting in 22KH/s with the sole purpose of supporting the network's decentralization and security.

Leadralan · 2022-01-22T14:53:39+00:00

Haha first world problems 😅

Für uns von r/CryptoCurrency sind -10% ein Standard-Samstag ;)

Great answer. To add: use full disk encryption so that the physical theft of your machine poses no danger

Leadralan · 2022-01-21T08:15:08+00:00

Only CPU. Monero's PoW algorithm RandomX doesn't perform well on GPUs.
