I do a fair amount of Monero mining on my 5900 in the winter when I need the extra heat. Here are some observations: *Overclocking is a waste of energy. Profitability is marginal enough as it is. *Huge pages is a MUST. That alone roughly doubled my hash rate without effecting power consumption. *Running on Windows I had to manually disable automatic memory compression. For some absurd reason Windows 10 really liked to randomly tank the hash rate by trying to do this. For a while I thought my system was unstable, but nope. Just Windows being windows. *I saw no meaningful gain from memory overclocking, but a very noticeable boost by tightening memory timings, and that included secondary and tertiary timings. *Last I checked, mining would have yielded roughly half a Monero per year of continuous mining. There's really no money in it, but every miner not on a major pool makes the network a little more secure.
I agree with most, but: if you need to heat your home, "overclocking is a waste of energy" is irrelevant. Your CPU is a heater. Overclocking increases the wattage of that heater. If it doesn't heat your home, your regular non-XMR-generating heater will do it.
@@johnmilner6375 Can't be bothered. Though I've got this little note I made when I fixed the Windows memory shenanigans: Disable-MMAgent -mc taskschd.msc: Task Cheduler library / Microsoft / Windows / MemoryDiagnostic / RunFullMemoryDiagnostic -> disabled It was a long time ago so I don't remember the details. However this made a disproportionately large difference considering how obscure this crap is. Proper memory tuning is VERY time consuming and the gains, although significant, are still modest compared to the effort. Don't bother with it unless your idea of a good time involves spending a week+ deciphering cryptic bios variable names, researching how they are connected, and endlessly comparing benchmark values to see if the latest tweak made things better or worse. Everything else is really well documented already and should be trivial to figure out with a few web searches. Well, trivial if you're tech savvy enough to be interested in monero mining. Again, there's very little money in it. The only reason to do it is to support the project.
Another piece of advice to optimize XMRig is to ideally have a minimal setup just for mining. So drop into the tty, kill your greeter, maybe reboot beforehand (because of huge pages sometimes failing to allocate) and don't mess with the CPU settings. It likely won't increase the hashrate. I have a 4 core CPU but my cache is too small to run anything more than 2 threads. XMRig will deduce the settings for you.
I can tell you right now that if you want the absolute best hash rate out of your CPU, you definitely will have to manually adjust the settings. On almost every CPU I've tried, I get a higher hash rate by setting core affinity to one thread per physical CPU core (in other words, no Hyperthreading). In order to do this, you have to set both the number of threads and the CPU core affinity (google "cpu affinity mask calculator"). By default, XMRig will just try to run as many threads as the CPU allows, and I've even seen it using 13 threads on a 12-core CPU. For maximum hash rate OR maximum efficiency, even more testing would be required to actually dial in the voltage and other settings of the CPU. You definitely don't want to run a Zen 4 CPU, for instance, at stock settings if you're trying to get maximum efficiency out of it.

Calculated monero mining - its either unprofitable on consumer hardware, or very little in profit, like 2$ a month, definitely not worth additional hardware amortization.
It's not profitable, as said in the video. But after your money has gotten less, it is now in a form where it can be used globally and privately, which it couldn't before.

4:35 This disruption might have some benefits. Because of that, there's a hype around every four years, which brings public attention to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a whole.
There are things that would be nice to add here. Such as limiting the miner to only 10 of your cores if you are using the PC while mining. Things like that.
It can be done in the json btw. In my case it put the numbers of my cores (starting from 0) in a few places of which cores to use, you can just remove some of those.
I run Monero miner as a docker instance on Unraid. It has it's own set of cores that it pegs whilst VMs, other docker images and the hypervisor do their own thing. It doesn't mine much at all but it's a bit and it stops the CPU from trying to sleep which can cause weird issues on AMD sometimes. It also keeps a bit of heat output going which is nice as it's in the same room as my snake which has heating anyway.
@@Nimb. The .json file has a few places i believe even for different profiles (?) where it lists the numbers of your cores. Just remove those cores you dont want to use.
Now that Monero has reached the final inflation rate (which means there won't be whales and money keepers like in bitcoin), using Monero is so easy that the only missing part is people actually receiving monero. Btw, it's financially better to use Monero only, since there are no taxes on pure crypto in most countries (only on the benefits from buying/selling crypto). This means that if someone receives a wage in crypto, pays rent in crypto, and buy things in crypto, there is essentially no money to tax.
@@wabbajocky8235 i think you will have to ask the landlord yourself, "would you accept monero ?", and hope they don't mind rewriting the contract to allow payments in monero.

Nahw it all about those server CPUs. Those Eypc's kill the game and you know it. The only way anyone is breaking even with anything else is solar mining. or owning your own nuclear power plant.
@@anythingbutASIC Do you have more faith in the petrol dollar or XMR? Also you don't have to go to such extremes to make petrol dollar profit with your mining, if your local energy cost doesn't really let you profitably mine with your CPU, you don't have to power it entirely with renewable sources
@@SaxaphoneMan42 I have more faith in XMR but XMR does not come from nowhere. Just like and self respecting server farm there needs to be a profit to keep the machines on.
4:12 Also in Bitcoin, there's a steady incentive to keep mining it. Because of the small block size, there will likely be a lot of competition to get a block, which causes the fees to go up. If fees are too expensive, less people will use Bitcoin, so the fees won't be so expensive anymore. This will lead to less miners and reduced network security. Since the highest network security is an important selling point of Bitcoin, this might lead to a decrease in price, so the users are willing to pay more fees again, so the price doesn't go down any further. I don't think, there is a downward spiral bitcoin could go down. But if there is because of that, it would most likely benefit Monero.
Lots of people have said that bitcoin's hash power will go to zero, or something to that effect, when the block rewards go away. Yet here we are, with total bitcoin adoption likely still under 10%, and block rewards are the lowest they've ever been, yet hashing power is at its highest. IMO such statements are the result of an inadequate understanding of how bitcoin works.
You whold think that but when BTC was at 65k the Dyck measuring was still going on with the fee just like with Ethereum. BTC and ETH are the chosen and have been compormised by the big invesment banks. Thats why XMR is important as the peoples currency.
@@anythingbutASIC I have no idea what you are trying to tell me. I don't know what a Dyck measuring is. I don't see how the question if Bitcoin has been compromised is not related to the mining incentive.
@@rars0n what are you talking about? Bitcoin is finite. Once all 21 million have been mined, people will stop mining. Or do you mean something else by hash power that I’m not understanding?
Thanks for this video I always wanted to get into Monero but I didn't have the idea of where to start nor the budget, and there's sooooooo many scammers out there you don't know where to go to even begin getting the information
about to make an ultra cpu heavy rig to mine monero in full commitment, thank you for getting me started on a crappy hp laptop, and spurring me on to make a good rig. You a real one. Also still learning linux sooooo... I've still gotta go far lol
I'm sure others have told you but just in case - Bitcoin rewards trending toward 0 is okay, because Bitcoin can be mined with as many OR AS FEW miners as necessary. You could go down to 10 miners for the whole world and it wouldn't make any difference for transaction fees in the long term because of the automatic difficulty adjustment. Also I very much appreciated your points about these single purpose machines being a waste of resources, but it's a much smaller waste of resources than the banking system.
@@myfavouritecolorisgreen well if your electricity is free then you're technically guaranteed to make a profit, though if I had to guess it'd probably be in the range of a couple dollars a month if you don't have a very high end cpu
Mining crypto still isn't profitable for the average guy, with current electricity prices and my hashrate I would make about 5 dollar profit a month. Useless 😃
I was hoping I could get some commentary on the size of the blockchain on Monero compared to Bitcoin. I know the blockchain size of Monero is smaller than that of BTC, however, proportionally, it seems like the size of Monero will make it more difficult for independent users to run full nodes.
One XMR tx is about 4 lines of info to one line for a BTC tx. BUT, if people want to try to mix their btc for example, they need to make wayyy more than 4 tx’s to hopefully have something that barely resembles the privacy you get by simply using Monero. Also, the cost of storage continues to become much cheaper every year. pretty much matching the pace of demand for storage maybe? and Monero tx continue to become smaller and more efficient too.
whats the point of crypto if your not doing it for money? from my perspective thats like saying you dont work for money but for the fun of working. both just sounds really stupid.

Man, it sure takes a while to get any shares (whatever that means) in p2pool on a 5900X. Estimate with my hashrate is like 3 hours? More like 3 days (if not more). EDIT: Apparently you're supposed to use the _mini_ chain unless you have more than 100kH/s (basically a farm). Guess I got scammed for two days of work.
what I would love to see is a tutorial on how to create applications using monero, I would like to create a store using monero with a web framework (ex. Laravel/PHP, Django/Python, etc.) but when searching for tutorials, I haven't find anything good.
It’s because there are a dozen different services out there to handle crypto transactions for you. If you want a step-by-step guide look for guides on integrated payment services.
Thanks for the info, got me interested on Monero, just a quick question, do you recommend using a dedicate machine for that or I just could start using my current laptop when is not in use?
if you're using a laptop you may want to set manually your fan speed, since manufacturers nowadays make it so that the fans never actually 100% so the device isn't as loud, but it gets super hot, and they also usually set the thermal throttle very high because of this, and heat is not nice on components
Its really simple to figure out, and I have done it personally with about 5kw worth of miners to cover all the heat needed in wisconsin, if you have ever used a space heater they pretty much all use 1500 watts of power. No space heater is more efficient than any other any claiming they are, are a scam, because its literally just running the heat into a coil that acts as a resistor to dump the electricity into thermal energy. So anyways with that in mind, if you have ever used a space heater you know how much heat is created from 1500 watts of power, if you run a cpu at full load likely using 60-100 watts its producing roughly whatever ratio to a space heater. if you need 3 space heaters in the winter to heat your entire house comfortably then you need 4500 watts of computers running to do it. And at that point atleast in the us, atleast in my state its not to much more expensive than heating with gas and you print crypto in the process. However asics are complicated because most of the new ones need a dedicated circuit in a residential scenario to run, and even then normal outlets can only put out 15 amps, 120v and that is 1800 watts everything being ideal, you probably get even less before blowing a fuse. However most homes have atleast 1 240v 30 amp circut breaker for appliances like dryers, so if that isnt being used by an electric dryer, you can use that, and most PSU can run on both 120v and 240v power, the dryer outlet being 240v 30 amps allows for 7200 watts to be drawn. In addition higher voltage is more efficient if mining for profit. But don't be discouraged by anyone saying mining for heat is pointless because if you have a gaming pc and ever played any graphic heavy game for a couple hours your room is noticeably hotter, and even the smallest amount still produces heat that adds a slight offset to heating bills that is money saved even if only say 5$ a month.

If anyone out their is able to mine monero on 64 bit ARM processors I'd say do so. They're far more power efficient than regular desktop processors, for me mining monero is no longer profitable due to my area seeing a 300% increase in electric prices in the last 3 years.

Calculated monero mining - its either unprofitable on consumer hardware, or very little in profit, like 2$ a month, definitely not worth additional hardware amortization.
Not if i use the neighbors elec with stolen devices
@@BrandonCurington1 yep. most use cases for mining monero is using someone else's hardware/electricity one way or another.
It's not profitable, as said in the video. But after your money has gotten less, it is now in a form where it can be used globally and privately, which it couldn't before.

Not even Monero-chan could convince my frugal ass that mining Monero is worth it.
4:35 This disruption might have some benefits. Because of that, there's a hype around every four years, which brings public attention to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a whole.
There are things that would be nice to add here. Such as limiting the miner to only 10 of your cores if you are using the PC while mining. Things like that.
It can be done in the json btw. In my case it put the numbers of my cores (starting from 0) in a few places of which cores to use, you can just remove some of those.
I run Monero miner as a docker instance on Unraid. It has it's own set of cores that it pegs whilst VMs, other docker images and the hypervisor do their own thing. It doesn't mine much at all but it's a bit and it stops the CPU from trying to sleep which can cause weird issues on AMD sometimes. It also keeps a bit of heat output going which is nice as it's in the same room as my snake which has heating anyway.
how abouts do you go about limiting core use?

what happened to the dev that was suspected of being an informant or something?
If you look at mental outlaws recent videos on the topic, you will see that this doesn't matter for the security of monero
Now that Monero has reached the final inflation rate (which means there won't be whales and money keepers like in bitcoin), using Monero is so easy that the only missing part is people actually receiving monero.
Btw, it's financially better to use Monero only, since there are no taxes on pure crypto in most countries (only on the benefits from buying/selling crypto). This means that if someone receives a wage in crypto, pays rent in crypto, and buy things in crypto, there is essentially no money to tax.
how is the government supposed to rob us then?

@@7evive I would go for med, your difficulty will probably end up a bit higher than the med starting difficulty of just over 100k, though really at the end of the day it shouldn't matter much which one you start with since it adjusts itself, its more to get the starting difficulty closest to your average difficulty
Nahw it all about those server CPUs. Those Eypc's kill the game and you know it. The only way anyone is breaking even with anything else is solar mining. or owning your own nuclear power plant.
@@anythingbutASIC Do you have more faith in the petrol dollar or XMR? Also you don't have to go to such extremes to make petrol dollar profit with your mining, if your local energy cost doesn't really let you profitably mine with your CPU, you don't have to power it entirely with renewable sources
@@SaxaphoneMan42 I have more faith in XMR but XMR does not come from nowhere. Just like and self respecting server farm there needs to be a profit to keep the machines on.
4:12 Also in Bitcoin, there's a steady incentive to keep mining it. Because of the small block size, there will likely be a lot of competition to get a block, which causes the fees to go up.
If fees are too expensive, less people will use Bitcoin, so the fees won't be so expensive anymore. This will lead to less miners and reduced network security. Since the highest network security is an important selling point of Bitcoin, this might lead to a decrease in price, so the users are willing to pay more fees again, so the price doesn't go down any further.
I don't think, there is a downward spiral bitcoin could go down. But if there is because of that, it would most likely benefit Monero.
Lots of people have said that bitcoin's hash power will go to zero, or something to that effect, when the block rewards go away. Yet here we are, with total bitcoin adoption likely still under 10%, and block rewards are the lowest they've ever been, yet hashing power is at its highest. IMO such statements are the result of an inadequate understanding of how bitcoin works.
You whold think that but when BTC was at 65k the Dyck measuring was still going on with the fee just like with Ethereum. BTC and ETH are the chosen and have been compormised by the big invesment banks. Thats why XMR is important as the peoples currency.
@@anythingbutASIC I have no idea what you are trying to tell me. I don't know what a Dyck measuring is.
I don't see how the question if Bitcoin has been compromised is not related to the mining incentive.
@@rars0n what are you talking about? Bitcoin is finite. Once all 21 million have been mined, people will stop mining. Or do you mean something else by hash power that I’m not understanding?

Also still learning linux sooooo... I've still gotta go far lol
What CPU/CPUs are you gonna get?
I'm sure others have told you but just in case - Bitcoin rewards trending toward 0 is okay, because Bitcoin can be mined with as many OR AS FEW miners as necessary.
You could go down to 10 miners for the whole world and it wouldn't make any difference for transaction fees in the long term because of the automatic difficulty adjustment.
Also I very much appreciated your points about these single purpose machines being a waste of resources, but it's a much smaller waste of resources than the banking system.

I was hoping I could get some commentary on the size of the blockchain on Monero compared to Bitcoin. I know the blockchain size of Monero is smaller than that of BTC, however, proportionally, it seems like the size of Monero will make it more difficult for independent users to run full nodes.
One XMR tx is about 4 lines of info to one line for a BTC tx. BUT, if people want to try to mix their btc for example, they need to make wayyy more than 4 tx’s to hopefully have something that barely resembles the privacy you get by simply using Monero. Also, the cost of storage continues to become much cheaper every year. pretty much matching the pace of demand for storage maybe? and Monero tx continue to become smaller and more efficient too.

Thanks for the info, got me interested on Monero, just a quick question, do you recommend using a dedicate machine for that or I just could start using my current laptop when is not in use?
Whatever you got available at the moment! Just factor electricity and the (very low) deterioration of your laptop due to it being used 99%
@@steph4356 thanks
if you're using a laptop you may want to set manually your fan speed, since manufacturers nowadays make it so that the fans never actually 100% so the device isn't as loud, but it gets super hot, and they also usually set the thermal throttle very high because of this, and heat is not nice on components
What ever you got. i started with my cellphone and worked my way up to dedicated ryzens platforms.
Building a monero mining rig isn't that hard. You'll need mainly a decent cpu, then just use the cheapest components available
Why mine through XMRig instead of through the Monero GUI client? Pros and cons?
more hashrate
Xmrig is faster, but mining with the GUI is easier and it supports p2pool natively, which is better for the network.
Yooo, my mans mining on a Threadripper 3970X and has 128GiB of RAM in his rig. Now thats a lot of power.
Idk who monero chan is so I'm good on that
3:04 maybe you could use these to heat house in winter and also reduce heating bill at the same time. doesn't seem like a bad option. :)
@@paul.1337 true but we were talking about asics at that time and asics creates a decent amount of heat.
Maybe then you can break even when mining monero
Its really simple to figure out, and I have done it personally with about 5kw worth of miners to cover all the heat needed in wisconsin, if you have ever used a space heater they pretty much all use 1500 watts of power. No space heater is more efficient than any other any claiming they are, are a scam, because its literally just running the heat into a coil that acts as a resistor to dump the electricity into thermal energy. So anyways with that in mind, if you have ever used a space heater you know how much heat is created from 1500 watts of power, if you run a cpu at full load likely using 60-100 watts its producing roughly whatever ratio to a space heater. if you need 3 space heaters in the winter to heat your entire house comfortably then you need 4500 watts of computers running to do it. And at that point atleast in the us, atleast in my state its not to much more expensive than heating with gas and you print crypto in the process. However asics are complicated because most of the new ones need a dedicated circuit in a residential scenario to run, and even then normal outlets can only put out 15 amps, 120v and that is 1800 watts everything being ideal, you probably get even less before blowing a fuse. However most homes have atleast 1 240v 30 amp circut breaker for appliances like dryers, so if that isnt being used by an electric dryer, you can use that, and most PSU can run on both 120v and 240v power, the dryer outlet being 240v 30 amps allows for 7200 watts to be drawn. In addition higher voltage is more efficient if mining for profit. But don't be discouraged by anyone saying mining for heat is pointless because if you have a gaming pc and ever played any graphic heavy game for a couple hours your room is noticeably hotter, and even the smallest amount still produces heat that adds a slight offset to heating bills that is money saved even if only say 5$ a month.
