It is not an ASIC it's just a "professional miner". You can check out what the people who now their shit say about it in #monero-pow:monero.social

Or just don't use exodus

Prolly gonna make a new release first thing tomorrow.

It's up again if anyone is wondering

It can also function as a way for people from censored countries to access/interact with the source code. As I have said before as a privacy project you cannot afford to keep the code in one vulnerable place (GitHub).

For small amounts https://wizardswap.io

What's the point though? A 3rd party (kuyun) still has full control over it. No different that doing it on AWS except that you pay in Monero. This is not good for the network since again one party has control and is being payed to host them.

Sounds like alot of maybes. I don't understand why you need to pay someone to run a node but ig it's your money. You can also run a pruned node it uses ~70% less storage. I'm running mine on hdd. Just sync on SSD and copy over to hdd. You can prolly get a le potato for 35$ a cheap hdd for 20$ and run it at home. Or just get a cheap computer from Facebook marketplace or something. This way you own the hardware for a lifetime while actually contributing to decentralization.

There's a guide in the readme and also a wiki entry on how to use it with p2pool

Wdym by more user friendly?

But the hosting providers have physical access. You don't. They have controll you don't. You can't argue decentralization if all the nodes are owned by a couple of hosting providers.

What kind of errors?

The plan is to host it for as long as I possibly can . The fundraiser is for 1 year of hosting. Will make one every year.

Are the vip stats legit? Sounds a bit much....

Shorting Monero and then attacking would most probably be the most profitable.
