Is the RandomX identical to Monero's? Or will there be any project specific tweaks?

It's recommend to change opcode frequency, yet the notable change is we use 4GB instead is 2GB.

Do you have any technical discussions on either of these that I could read over?

I say that bearish market is bad for most of holders, because if you aren't a big whale you have to sell cheap to pay your bills. The same story happened to me...

Most people lose at "day" trading.

I would say buy only what you can hold for long (unless you are using it immediately). Anything else seems like some version of day trading.

I'm only scared that regulation will make crypto look centralized, that trustless attribute will be lost. If every crypto enthusiasts gets a sound education about crypto and its ecosystem and stop being greedy, these scams happening every now and then will be reduced.

Greed is not going away.

Devs are greedy. Exchanges are greedy. Users are greedy.

+1 for Protonmail. Also been hearing a lot of good things about ProtonVPN, although I haven't tried it yet myself.


They have a free Version, it is worth checking out.
I had to wait a few months to get access to their VPN for free, I don`t know if it is open to everyone now or not. I use it sometimes, it is safe and I trust them with my data.

Certainly a good company which it is worth supporting also.

Are you saying they have a free version of their VPN or just of the email?

Bear market is bad to those who have bought at a much higher price. That is true. Especially to those who have already emptied their savings and investment funds only to find out after a month or two that the prices are plunging deep. That is painful! I have been there. And especially if there will be long days, weeks, and months, and even a year more to wait for the buying price to return.

Ouch. Getting burnt like that has to hurt.

Diversify. Diversify. Diversify.

It can be a boring strategy, but it is the best strategy for most people.

...diversifying ones portfolio with different altcoins is a smart move in crypto investment.

Couldn't agree more. What is your strategy for choosing how much to invest in each particular altcoin (as a percentage of your total investment)?

Re: ETH vs ADA

Obviously ETH has clearly established itself as the leader between the two. However, I did like some of the technical papers I read about ADA. At the time I was reading them, nothing was functional...I prefer to have something more tangible so I passed at that time.

Diversifying is really the best bet. Develop a strategy for splitting your money between the two. This way, if one turns out to be a much better play, you will be in the game either way.
