BasicSwap experience?
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.

Proposal- Remove Light Wallets from sidebar and getmonero.org that don't support switching server URLs
Recommended Light Wallets on the Reddit sidebar and getmonero.org site should follow the Light Wallet API spec (https://github.com/monero-project/meta/blob/master/api/lightwallet_rest.md) and allow users to safely specify their own light wallet server URL in a very similar way that any other recommended wallet allows you to safely specify and use your own Monero node URL, otherwise, I believe these wallets should not be listed, or recommended. And, of course, the wallet should function in the same way with a user-provided URL as it does with the default, proprietary server, so long as the user-provided server follows the Light Wallet API spec.

minexmr2.com updated to p2pool v3.1, monerod v0.18.2.0, and ready for Mar 18 p2pool (not monero) hardfork
I turn on N new cloud servers (VPS or bare-metal), on each one I then install the upstream part of the minexmr2 pool in conjunction with p2pool and monerod instances. The miners will be connected here.

Best mining program on Windows?
Xmrig and use a pool that isn't one of the top three. If you want a have more of a challenge then try the p2pool with xmrig. https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/tag/v6.19.3

Over 110k BAN has been distributed to BanRXers!
Regarding how much you can trust BanRX, all of the mining software used is fully open source on GitHub, with a commonly used one (XMrig) having over 7.6k stars on the repository. We also have a community Discord server for all of the apps in the BananoPlanet ecosystem, including our faucet! You can join the BananoPlanet Discord server at https://bananoplanet.cc/discord.

How do I know if I'm actually mining Monero correctly and everything is alright?

Mining Monero
Monero is mined with CPU, and the best software for this is XMRig. You will need to join a mining pool to mine Monero.

Looking to learn
Download xmrig, config it to point to the pool minexmr2.com, wait for a while to check your hashrate on the pool's web-ui dashboard.

Remote Server Compromised
Now, it had been almost 10 days since I set that up, but 2 days ago a reverse shell script was executed via selenium to gain remote access to my server, and the attacker installed the xmrig crypto miner along with a script that monitors that xm/xmrig is still running.

Momero Mining with GPU
You will need XMRig and XMRig-CUDA plugin to mine on NVIDIA GPUs. You'll need to set "enabled": true, in cuda section of config.json for XMRig. But you'll be disappointed by GPU hashrates.
