Oh, yes. That should be it.
I received my first stake after four days and after that, there is a frequency of receiving a stake once in 2-3 days with the number of coins that I've staked


Yes, the team hasn't put any details about the number of coins swapped and its percentage on the website but they are regularly posting the updates regarding the swap in every social media platform that they are in.

This may require a bit of manual work but you can use Blockfolio to achieve what you require.
It is a mobile app where you can enter the amount of BTC or any other altcoin you transact at the given date and time and it will keep you updated with the value change and also the value of it when it was transacted in any currency fetching prices from supported exchanges.

That is true. When the news came about the wallets being malicious at getmonero website. I was really concerned as I just set up the wallet hours ago in my personal rig with Ryzen 1700 to be ready when the algorithm transition hits. I was safe as I downloaded the binaries directly from the GitHub page and the hash matched but I cannot imagine how much damage it could have caused instead.


I hope that everyone does follow this whenever they upload their new software may it be a miner, an OS image or anything as it makes it so much easier to verify that you have the authenticate file and also to download directly from GitHub or compile the software on your own.

Well, CN is for Cryptonight and there are many variants of it that have been incorporated in private cryptocurrencies.
Now, XEQ is based on Cryptonight Light V7 so GPUs such as Vega 56/64 will be the best bet to mine them.

Here, you can see the DAG size for ETH and ETC has surpassed 3GB so you won't be able to mine ETH or ETC.
You can mine other Ethash based coins which have DAG less than 3GB and use Claymore for it.

Also, in the log, you haven't set your primary address so it is trying to mine at default address.

Why don't you try running it as a scheduled task or autorun as soon as the PC starts?
It's much easier to implement and it won't have issues as such.

Anyway, if you are still keen to run the miner as a service, try SrvStart and see if it works.

Don't worry! I'm in the same boat as you.
I accumulated a lot of coins in 2017 and as the bull run came, I thought too, let's hold it and see where it goes but in some time, the bubble burst and all came to shambles.
I would say that was the worst mistake of my life and I realised it's not about HODL or whatnot.
It's just that when you see that you have crossed what you were expecting, you should cash out because the crypto market is known for its volatility and it's never going to stay stable.
So, get ahead of the game and take the chance when you still have it.

Anyway, don't worry. There will come many more runs in the future and we won't make the same mistake twice.

You're welcome!
I think you may have heard about the latest cli precompiled monero wallets being malicious in the getmonero website.
Someone found out that the checksum for the wallet downloaded from the website wasn't the same and it contained malware.

I never did the verification for the files but now I feel like it's a mandatory step to take if you download any software from the internet.

Oh, that is crazy! Thank you for the update.
How is something like this even possible?
I downloaded the wallet a while ago in my PC with Ryzen 7 1700 to be ready for RandomX.
Anyway, the checksum matches as I downloaded directly from the GitHub releases.

Well, it is available in their Github repository itself.
Please check if the browser that you are using is able to display it as I had really no issues finding the SHA-256 checksum for the files.
Here take a look:

The best way to learn about something is to start experimenting in practical.
You can learn the basics from literally anywhere, whether it be google, youtube or this forum itself.

Start by thinking about the questions you want to know the answers to related to cryptocurrencies, then the learning curve begins.
Whenever you bump into something that you cannot understand, you can definitely raise a question in the forum and many will assist you for the same.

Also, this book is the holy grail to understand cryptocurrencies - Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas M. Antonopoulos

Bitcoin is and always will be the gold standard of cryptocurrencies.
No matter how close other altcoins ever come in terms of market value or other features.
BTC will always stick to the first position.

I used to think that ETH might surpass BTC and it got really close at the start of 2018 but I guess it was just a huge pump.

I have a little less than half holdings in BTC and the rest is divided in ETH, XMR and LTC.
So yes, I'm holding BTC and I'll keep HODL it for the foreseeable future.

No, it is not compatible with the hardfork as it has v0.5.1.1 binaries.
Sumokoin team has updated the GUI wallet to v0.3.0 which is compatible with the hardfork.

Python is not the only way to go if you want to develop a blockchain or blockchain-based programs.
C++, Java, Python are the options for it.

If you want to develop an exchange, you'll have to learn building websites using HTML, jQuery, JavaScript and in the backend using SQL, Database and such.

It's better if you select just one thing at a time and learn it perfectly rather than jumping from one place to another.

"If the time for the promotional free bet is going to be random in a span of seven days or a month".
I would not stay vigilant for it as it will consume my attention for it most of the time which will render it useless.
If there is going to be a time period like between 02:00 to 04:00 where you will have that opportunity then I'll surely keep myself awake for the free bets and try my luck out.
Even if I made a handful, I'll count it as a win because there was no initial cost to being with.
Moreover, a system of notification might be really useful.

Just revet any OC that you have on that particular card and try again.
If it doesn't work, try replacing the riser. They are one of the major points of failure.


Increase memory and core clocks with voltages. It'll increase the hash rate but also power consumption. So, try to find a sweet spot for it.

The updated Nvidia driver in your rig is causing this error in Bminer.
As of now, there is no solution to it except to downgrade your drivers.
DDU the old drivers in safe mode and clean install 430.39 driver version.
It should rectify your problem.

To not run in this issue again and get the best possible speed for your rig.
I'll suggest updating it to Windows 10 LTSC version, doing all the remaining software update and then disabling Windows Defender and updates using Group policy panel.
Just remember as there will be no malware protection, you should only download wallets, miners, etc. from their official site and Github releases.

Even in AWS or Google Cloud, you'll face issues like suspended account due to violation of terms.
I did try it on AWS for a week with some free credit during promotion a while back and the account was suspended just after a few hours and requiring a mail to re-activate the account but I was sure they won't reactivate it.
Moreover, migration to RandomX algorithm will bring a wave of CPU miners to XMR network and we will see many users trying to use on-demand computing platforms for it and their accounts getting suspended in no time.

If the GPU has Samsung RAM then it will overclock really well which also goes for vega 56 with 64 bios flashed.
Flash the bios, increase mem and reduce core and subsequent voltages in overdriveNtool, use AMD Mem Tweaker to apply weak memory timings after that and run the miner. That's all I have to reach the highest possible hashrate in ETH and XMR.
