Mini and Nano (in regards to P2Pool) are separate Mining pools. Think of them as a very big miner. The bigger the miner (i.e. more hashrate) the time to hit a block is lower and therefore he receives more rewards per time interval. The smaller pools (Mini/Nano) are for people with low hashrate devices so that the blockreward gets split somewhat equally between them.

For example if you would mine with a very low hashrate on your own, you’d maybe hit a block every 10 years. If you then combine your hashrate with other miners, that have a comparatively high hashrate to yours, the pool hits blocks much more often, but you won’t get rewarded that often because you didn’t participate that much. If you then join a pool with people with low hashrates, your mining pools hits blocks more often than you would by yourself, but not all too often. But it’s also much more likely for you to get rewarded a piece of the block reward, as you contributed somewhat equally to the pool.

I hope this explanation helps with your understanding and I didn’t butcher to many details 🙃

Just in case someone isn’t aware of it yet:

Kewbit scammed the Monero Community so stay away from his stuff (haveno.com etc)!

If you’re interested in the REAL haveno mobile version you should look at this here: https://github.com/atsamd21/Haveno-app

Thanks and sure, no Problem :)

I don’t think it’s so bad tbh. If you look at BTC/BCH they have 10min block time so if you wait for at least 1 confirmation you have around 3 XMR confirmations on average. But for bigger sums you most likely want at least to wait for a second or third which brings you close to or close above 20min. (For really small sums you can just accept 0-conf. Monero does NOT have RBF (replace by fee), so the other person can NOT betray you.) And that is only IF you get into the next block (which is a problem for BTC).

In reality, if you start using Monero, vast majority has more than a single output, so you can buy a few things in quick succession. Also you can just use Cake as a receiving wallet and then Monerujo as your spending wallet, which has the feature named Pocket Change (that makes sure you always have a bigger amount of outputs available). That’s why I’d argue that the 10 block lock isn’t really a big hindrance in reality.

The ‘KYC’ informations you need to provide are just necessary informations for the trade (like an address for cash by mail or your bank account for SEPA). Also those informations are stored locally and only revealed to your trading peer when needed. So no complaints there from me.

And unlicensed? What license do you expect? We’re free humans that just exchange wealth in a voluntary trade. No license needed.

The process is not really complex, but you need to do it once to really grasp the concept. But it’s pretty much self explanatory. Depending on your region Zelle/CashApp can be used, yes.

I agree. With the mobile app around the corner it’s going to be even better. Haveno is basically Normie-ready xD

Even though it’s more like Twitter I see pretty good discussions on Nostr. So maybe take a look at that? https://following.space/d/ygm6vtdp3arx?p=af740d198babb8c7b82d0a4718eb354bb3f6af9a98639b85d4a5cf1371caba85

https://retoswap.com/

For me the link works, but the site looks a bit broken on mobile 🤔

Are you aware of p2pool (decentralized pool with 0% tax)? Also there is gupax.io for easy mining setup with p2pool. Oh and then there is gupaxx (notice the two x on the end). Might want to look into this :)

This 💯

Thank you for your contribution! I’ll check it out :D

Nice writeup, thanks!

Hopefully not. I don’t want the market manipulation of those people. We have Haveno, which is working fine and with more feedback will become better over time. Serai is around the corner aswell. Then there is basicswapdex which also keeps improving.

So we’re good I think. No short-term moon pumping needed.

No, thank you. The only communication with exchanges should be ‘please delist us, we have haveno now (and serai soon)’.

Besides that, every single one of us is capable of telling people about the use-case and advantages of monero (and potentially help others to start using it).

So yeah, I like my monero without an official head, that would be chopped off anyway.

What are you trying to say/convey?

I only used retoswap.

The trade was legit so no complains there. You can see the stats of this instance on haveno.markets.

Telemetry has no place in this. Without full source code and reproducible builds this could be spyware or worse for all we know.

Linking to haveno.com while the original haveno site is haveno.exchange. Also haveno.com links to the supposed mobile version without clarifying it obviously! Which contains telemetry?!

I’m not going to touch this until the drama situation is solved i.e. all source code is available. And I recommend everyone does the same.

Sorry kewbit IF you’re in fact legit, but after I read how you behaved/reacted and acted with regards to CCS etc. I lost ALL trust I had.

Everyone, be careful!

Thanks 🖤🧡🤍
