converting xmr for cad
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!

Is www.getmonero.org a scam?
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.

Initialization of the local blockchain - fast at first, then a big slowdown
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.

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.

Am i just stupid or should Ledger make this a little more obvious?
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.

Gupax - Enabling 1GB Pages ain't working
I'm not so new to XMRig, but I am new to Gupax.io and I'm lost on how I can get 1GB Pages from Disabled to Enabled in the XMRig portion of Gupax. Yes, my CPU supports it. Yes, I made sure my Linux OS uses HugePages. Yes, my RAM and OS CLI checks reflect their usage. Yes, I've also used this script . It all works, except in Gupax.

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.

Question about withdrawing from nicehash
I’m guessing you are also CPU mining? That is likely an issue with XMRig, correct? If so, first be sure you launch NiceHash as Admin. Right-click the shortcut -> Properties -> Shortcut tab -> Advanced -> Run as administrator. Relaunch NiceHash from the update shortcut, and approve the User Account Control prompt. If that doesn’t solve it, leave the setting intact, but try a couple of other options: 1. toggle “Disable Device Status Monitoring” from NiceHash settings cog icon -> Advanced tab, which is an easy fix that prevents temperature monitoring. 2. the better solution, is to overwrite your XMRig.exe in the XMRig plug-in internals directory [NiceHash Plugins tab -> XMRig -> three dots -> Show Internals -> bins directory -> latest (i.e., 19.1) -> XMRig directory (i.e., xmrig-6.8.1) -> XMRig.exe] with the latest version (v6.19.3) of XMRig.exe available from https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases . For me, swapping the .exe file and running as Admin resolves the issue.
