Hello there, i dont know how to mine crypto BTC with ubuntu, any ideas? Thanks  Cool

Well if you want to mine crypto with Ubuntu here's what I think you should do
Firstly you'll need:
Powerful computer
High-performance graphics card
Enough RAM
Fast internet connection

Install necessary packages with `sudo apt-get update` and `sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre`. Choose mining software like CGMiner, EasyMiner, or MultiMiner.

Configure with your Bitcoin wallet and join a mining pool like Slush Pool or Antpool. Run CGMiner with `cgminer --pool pool-url --user username --pass password`.


I hope this was helpful

1. You can't mine Bitcoin and obtain profit using computer.
2. I don't know why he specifically mention to install openjdk-8-jre when some software he mentioned doesn't even use Java programming language. For example, https://github.com/CGMinerGit/CGMiner shows CGMiner use C programming language.

Cool

Hello, I have some spare cash with me which I want to invest in crypto. BTC is king anyway so I will need your suggestions for best way to store it for long term - cold storage preferred for investment and also some way I can spend it without using banks while I travel abroad. Please help this noob.

Thank you

Well firstly congrats on considering investing in bitcoin
You are welcome to the Bitcoin family 😂

Well if you are considering a long-term storage there are different forms in which they can be stored
You could use a hardware wallet like a ledger or trezor
You could use an offline storage solutions like cold card and cobo
Or paper wallets
But these are cold wallets, and since you want to be able to spend your crypto while travelling
You would have to consider hot wallets because they are much more easier to access
Which are your mobile wallets the only issue is that hot wallets are not as secure as cold wallets and are prone to being hacked
You should consider going on coindesk.com for more information they really helped me alot as a beginner

1. Cobo wallet isn't offline storage solution, according to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cobo.wallet&hl=en-US.
2. Suggesting Ledger is reckless, mainly due to controversial Ledger Recover feature.
