Mullvad gives you a discount if you pay with crypto, and monero is supposed to be the private crypto. What is the best way to get Monero? I’m in Canada

    Mining isn’t economically worth it and it’s also bad for your components’ health as well as the environment

      Mining on a cpu is much less taxing than a gpu, and if you do it intermittently and do not run all cores there’s no additional strain on hardware.

            I believe if it was worth it to mine, everyone would do it until it is not anymore, especially in countries where electricity is extra cheap

            After testing on my machine, I ended up losing more than 10x the amount I paid in electricity in France. I’m not sure it’ll be better elsewhere. This was at 0.20€/kWh

            solar helps that number even more

            Wouldn’t that assume you are not using all the electricity coming from your panels?
