  hi, I need help buying monero
• 01:36
  leonardus
  which exchange should I use?
• 01:36
  leonardus
  should I use an exchange at all?
• 01:39
  moneromooo
  An exchange is safer if you withdraw your money right after your transaction. But they'll want your personal info, most likely.
• 01:39
  moneromooo
  More complicated: bisq.

  sethsimmons
  Lots of good info in there 🙂
• 01:40
  ghost_matrix[m]
  Quick question is bisq anonymous? or the safest option right now in terms of not having to give info?
• 01:40
  sethsimmons
  It’s one of the safest, yes.
• 01:40
  sethsimmons
  It’s p2p with arbitrators as needed, and all over Tor

• 01:41
  ghost_matrix[m]
  ok makes sense :)
• 01:41
  ghost_matrix[m]
  Can you cash out on bisq for fiat?
• 01:41
  sethsimmons
  Only BTC AFAIK
• 01:42
  sethsimmons
  But it’s been a while since I’ve been on there
• 01:42
  ghost_matrix[m]
  I see so you can cash out but only via BTC?
• 01:43
  sethsimmons
  I’d have to double check, not 100% sure
• 01:43
  ghost_matrix[m]
  Thats ok i will look into it :)
• 01:44
  ghost_matrix[m]
  Seems like bisq is the best option right now especially because of tor integreation

  Most antivirus do. Monero not big enough for those people to bother doing a good job.
• 01:49
  leonardus
  is there a way to calculate/approximate how long I would have to mine in order to get 1 XMR?
• 01:49
  leonardus
  I have a Ryzen 3600 and RTX 2080 Super
• 01:50
  moneromooo
  Most pools have a widget that does kinda that.
• 01:51
  moneromooo
  You put your hash rate in. Run a miner for a minute to get your hash rate.
• 02:02
  niocbrrrrrr
  leonardus: unless you have free elec don't bother with the GPU as it is very inefficient with RandomX
• 02:02
  leonardus
  niocbrrrrrr: noted, thanks

  leonardus

  leonardus: you can trade for xmr on binance or tradeogre without KYC

  on getmonero.org it says:
• 23:32
  Dean_Guss
  Show hashes to verify your download
• 23:32
  Dean_Guss
  These SHA256 hashes are listed for convenience, but a GPG-signed list of the hashes is at getmonero.org/downloads/hashes.txt and should be treated as canonical, with the signature checked against the appropriate GPG key in the source code.
• 23:32
  Dean_Guss
  but I import binaryfate's pgp key as given in the link and hashes.txt does not appear to be signed with that key
• 23:36
  Dean_Guss
  NEVERMIND! figured out my error
• 23:37
  Dean_Guss
  I thought the .asc on github was curl-able but you gotta click through and get the raw pgp
