Why Monero

• xmrig

  363 8,332 8.1 C

  RandomX, KawPow, CryptoNight and GhostRider unified CPU/GPU miner and RandomX benchmark

You can mine it on your computer with some software (e.g., https://xmrig.com/ is popular but not the only option). Then you typically join a "pool" (because your little CPU is just a drop in the vast ocean of compute power hashing away and the next Monero block). The pool will pay you a little bit of Monero, based on your compute contributions to the pool.

They pay the Monero to your Monero wallet, and then it's up to you to decide how to use it.

  A list of known attacks against Bitcoin / crypto asset owning entities that occurred in meatspace.

It is not safe to use Bitcoin and other traceable cryptocurrencies. I for one don't want to be tortured with a drill and there is a long list of such events: https://github.com/jlopp/physical-bitcoin-attacks

Some people say the same things about encryption, but it is a very accurate parallel that it actually makes society safer, and the technology can't be taken from "criminals" so you just have to deal with its existence.

  Discontinued Such wow. Little privilege. Very container. Many security (maybe)

For the dogecoin fans, there is also a similar project based on Monero called Wownero: https://wownero.org/ - that is, technology based on Monero, but more fun.

Since I missed to dogecoin hype, I am now rooting for Wow.

>> Bitcoin is totally useless as a currency because it’s slow, has high transaction fees...

No longer true for slow and high transaction fees, after the lightning network. With the lightning network, it is FAST and much LESS transaction fees.

Oh, and the lightning network is no longer a pipe-dream. It is here and actively in use. If you sincerely want to try it, try using the Breez wallet https://breez.technology/
