Hi again!  I wanted to ask if its profitable to just mine with gpu(I have an r9 280x) or mine decred for example and then trade it for monero...Thanks! I have been mining with Five (5) R9 280X cards since June. Since this recent price increase, only now have I almost broke even on the hardware investment. My electricity is free. I bought the vast majority of my Monero when it was around $0.26. If I had a time machine, I would go back, sell the miner and scrape up as many quarters I could find. |

TheKoziTwo also released some code. I agree they should be easier to find. Probably some kind of merchant resources page on the web site should list these, but then you still have to find the resources page... When I was looking for PHP-Monero (without remembering the project name), I looked for it here first. Maybe there should be a small section at the bottom pointing to non-official projects related to accepting Monero? |

I wrote about this. For higher XMR price, we need higher adaptation. To do that, the XMR-adaptation has to be made easy. So, a XMR-payment plug-in or any such thing for webshops is needed. The plug in has to be so easy to install, that an ordinary dude can do it almost or completely by himself. Using XMR as a payment has to be easy also for a customer. When the customer wants to make the order and the payment, the plug in has to do fiat-XMR or BTC-XMR conversion of the price, and also to give the payment address and the payment id for the customer. Great plus would be, if the plug-in also showed XMR-price of each item at the front page. XMR adaptation has to be so easy, that there is no need for Bitpay-kind of services. Then XMR will start take over BTC.What about here. https://getmonero.org/design-goals/Is there any such projects going on at the moment? Is the point of the message so irrelevant, that no one is willing to even comment about it? Easy-to-install XMR-payment-plug-in? Anyway, someone wrote, that it would be great if privacy-oriented businesses started accepting XMR. I think that is a great idea. We must exploit XMRs the most significant feature, the untraceable transfers. First in my mind becomes anonymous internet, domain and hosting services. Adult entertainment. Internet gambling. Online dating like Ashley Madison. I guess the anonymous internet services are the best place to start promoting XMR, since there the customers understand some technology in addition of privacy. Anyone interested? Yeah, i would love to see one for OScommerce. If there was a xmr payment plug in i would already have an small eshop operational since July. I tried to build something myself but i failed. I will try again in mid October but hopefully something will have come out till then  Actually the only thing needed is to track the price and refresh every now and then. Conversions to fiat is automatically made by OScommerce. This isn't a starting point? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=976071.0 |

I've compiled Monero successfully on two different Linux Mint 17.1 boxes. These instructions look correct. I'm on a Mac right now, so I can't delve into this deeper at the moment. Just know that it does work. I can try and help later today or tomorrow. Also, the monero IRC channel is usually very helpful. If you could it would be appreciated. I should specify, it's Mint Mate 17.2 I have installed. I'll try and get some time in the Monero IRC channel later today too. OK, I just installed a fresh Mint 17.2 in a VM and indeed, there are dependencies above what's needed for Ubuntu. The process should look more like this: sudo apt-get install git gcc-4.9 cmake libunbound2 libevent-2.0-5 libgtest-dev libboost1.55-dev libboost-system1.55-dev libboost-filesystem1.55-dev libboost-thread1.55-dev libboost-date_time1.55-dev libboost-chrono1.55-dev libboost-regex1.55-dev libboost-serialization1.55-dev libboost-program_options1.55-dev libunbound-dev build-essential libssl-dev libdb++-dev git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git Let me know how you make out. edit: forgot libdb++-dev |

I'm having difficulty in getting Monero set up on Mint. I'm new to Linux, so this may well be something trivial (I'm hoping it is actually!). When I enter make I end up with the error: Compiling the CXX compiler identification source file "CMakeCXXCompilerId.cpp" failed.
Compiler: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND
Build flags:
Id flags:
The output was:
No such file or directoryI have already been through this guide: http://www.wikihow.com/Manually-Build-and-Install-GNU-Compiler-Collection-on-Linux-MintBut instead of mpfr-3.1.2 and gcc-4.8.1 I substituted mpfr-3.1.3 and gcc-4.8.5. That all went well, but I get the error above. If I enter "dpkg --list | grep compiler" it appears I do have C and C++ compilers: ii g++ 4:4.8.2-1ubuntu6 amd64 GNU C++ compiler
ii g++-4.8 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04 amd64 GNU C++ compiler
ii gcc 4:4.8.2-1ubuntu6 amd64 GNU C compiler
ii gcc-4.8 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04 amd64 GNU C compilerAny help would be appreciated. Dunno if mint has package manager etc, but this works with current head: sudo apt-get install git gcc-4.9 cmake libunbound2 libevent-2.0-5 libgtest-dev libboost1.55-dev git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git as provided by arux and documented on our forum: https://forum.getmonero.org/5/support/142/useful-links-including-blockchain-downloadsas indicated, make and gcc are different, which is why it threw you the error. good luck!! Thanks, but unfortunately this doesn't work on Mint. Even a fresh installation of Mint and following the instructions gives the same error. Nobody else using Monero on Mint?

...welcome!
Thank you. It's hard to believe that was my first post. I've been following the main Monero thread since page 1.  |

Most people that are currently mining XMR are doing so at a loss (electricity costs exceed revenue). The only logical explanation on what they do with the XMR they mine is that they hold the XMR, in expectations that it will increase in value.
I can say this because I'm a miner also.
Bolded an important word. There are definitely miners who either do not pay for electricity or are using other's. I have been CPU mining Monero since May 2014 on a cloudatcost VPS that I paid $35 for (one-time fee). I also have a 280x GPU rig with 5 cards in my company's warehouse that was originally built to mine Litecoin. I don't pay the electricity, but it's out in the open and everyone knows what it's doing. In a place like this, that miner's electricity usage is a drop in the ocean. I have never sold any of my mined Monero. I don't intend to for a long while. |
