monero VS polyseed

https://getmonero.org/ and check the other links at the right nav.

Hi, I'm new to this crypto mining in general. I came across a youtube video that involves mining with a raspberry pi. I KNOW this is not profitable, but I wanted to do this as a hobby. However, I was left wondering, if I were to use the getmonero.org as my wallet, how I can trade xmr for cad? I've seen other reddit threads saying to convert to btc, then into cad using kraken, or using localmonero. But again, I am new to this, so any information on converting xmr into cad is much appreciated!

Decentralized Monero focused exchange is added support for Goldbacks in their v0.0.11 release.

Have you read through getmonero.org yet?

Subdomains are typically different servers with their own purpose for the same domain. As long as you are on getmonero.org you are on the same domain.

There's no documentation for this. It's a file checkpoints.dat in https://github.com/monero-project/monero/tree/master/src/blocks and it's updated before each release and then embedded into monerod binary.

Finally, while it's true that we've encountered bugs in the past, it's an industry-wide challenge from which most projects suffer from at one point or the other, even for big projects like Monero. Such issues, while unfortunate, do not invalidate the overall value of the projects suffering from them as long as they keep on building and getting more and more secure over time. We are and have always as been transparent about these issues and remain committed to our mission of building a privacy-first, pro-liberty economy that's open to all, not just Particl users.

Connect to the official getmonero.org wallet with your Ledger, but you can't view anything inside Ledger Live. There are also hot alternatives like Coinomi, Atomic, Exodus etc.

This update brings the Cake 2FA security feature, Monero 0.18.2.2 with the decoy privacy patch, auto-generate restore height for Monero restore QR codes, and more!

The proof-of-concept 14-word monero-seed library that Feather used before 2.0.0 is now obsolete. It is succeeded by Polyseed. Generating 14-word seeds is no longer supported, all new wallets use Polyseed. Both schemes are similar in functionality. Like monero-seed, Polyseed has an embedded wallet creation date. Erasures are currently not supported. We will continue to support restoring 14-word seeds indefinitely. It is not possible to convert a 14-word seed into a Polyseed. To switch to Polyseed you must create a new wallet and send over your funds. A Polyseed can be converted into an equivalent 25 word seed + restore height in the Seed dialog, so the wallet can be restored in other Monero wallets.

The current iteration is called PolySeed and is here on GitHub.
