  • But as long as you pay for green energy none of that money will go towards supporting non-green infrastructure. So it should incentivise the energy companies to invest more into green ones.

    I believe people getting non-green energy will just get less green energy, at least that’s how I would imagine it if there was already enough green energy for the ones who demand it. Instead of making more green energy, they’ll just send less green energy to the people that aren’t paying for green energy. If your country doesn’t produce a lot of it, then yea it’ll certainly incentivise the production of it, but I feel like keeping green energy only for premium payers, without developping infrastructure is more worth it to them.


  • The components health section is probably nearly void, it seems like the lifespan of a CPU isn’t impacted if it doesn’t overheat. You’re probably right on that, I’m not a hardware expert though.

    Mining seems not worth it imo, based on my experience, but someone told me otherwise 🤷

    It is most certainly bad for the environment. Even if you use green energy, the infrastructure used to deliver the energy isn’t green when initially created and has a limited lifespan. Also, you probably remove green energy from people that didn’t care at the same time, so it ends up having a negative impact. If the green energy production % doesn’t change, then someone uses more non-green energy if you start using green.









  • This is the easiest way.

    • Use a centralized exchange (like Kraken, Binance…)
    • Buy LTC, BCH, anything you want
    • withdraw that
    • Swap (exchange) those through a swap service, from the crypto you bought, to XMR.
      • https://trocador.app/ is an exchange aggregator that’s privacy friendly and Monero friendly if you want. They don’t take any cut and you can get better margins this way.
    • Optional but I recommend it: churn your crypto by sending all of it to yourself multiple times, waiting a few days between each churn. Easier to do with Feather Wallet on desktop as it has coin control. This minimizes the links to your identity: Monero shines through multiple transactions, but tx to tx can statistically be liked. The more you do, the blurrier it gets.
      • On Feather Wallet (which is open source), there’s a “coins” tab where you can see each unit of crypto you have, and can “sweep output” to “yourself (churn)” easily.
    • Spend your XMR, have fun :)
