Idk why more people don't view Monero mining like I do -- use free cycles on existing hardware to earn back transaction fees over time

For a very small electric cost (2 CPUs) I can easily make back far more than I spend in TX fees each month

I know it's not some life changing amount, but it's an option you don't even have in other chains with existing hw

Probably because they never thought about it that way.

Might have to be a new tweet :D

Its a nice option to have for those of us who won't be building a mining farm etc.

But still able to earn back far more than we'll spend in TX fees

and more than you spend in electricity?

Probably not, but close to BE I think

if it's not a net win, then it's all a loss no matter how you assign its value

But its like <200W total

I guess thats true

Technically if fees aren't too high you could be better off buying dust amounts with fiat

But a KYC-free way to replace TX fees/small purchases is pretty nice

Like 0.1XMR each month with my two CPUs (mostly just the one 24/7, other off and on as it's unused)

Solar powered monero fee generator...

Honestly would be a cool project

Small self-contained rig with solar panel on top and wifi

But making back the capital investment would be unlikely :P

lol

buy an old smartphone

Solar powered distributed ground based satellite blinder...

and a USB solar panel

Could that work... Lots of tracking mirrors everywhere on earth, all tracking a known spy sat.

heh

POWERED BY THE MONERO NETWORK

I can see it now

Oh not that one. That's just about the people punching the creep in the face for once :)

Though most of htese are about military stuff. We'd have to find one that just spies on non military stuff.

Google backward creep.

No, might be using a third party sat, their their own.

Anyway. /me slithers off

Blind all sats

problem solved

not sure you can blind a spy sat. not if it's synthetic aperture radar.

which pretty much all remote imaging is, these days

OK, then we'll have to resort to mooning them I guess.

optical won't have good enough resolution from orbit; the last optical spy stuff was on airplanes. and even spyplanes use SAR nowadays if they even fly at all

moning would be nice
