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 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?
