## Preface
|
|
|
|
Hi all,
|
|
|
|
We'd like to create another video series; this time focused on mining. For those of you who are not familiar with our previous work, I'd like to direct you to our website moneroguides.org.
|
|
|
|
### How to mine Monero
|
|
|
|
We're here to pitch our second mini series. The working title for which is 'How to mine Monero'
|
|
|
|
The mini series/playlist we propose to curate will contain 2 videos, each of varying length and content.
|
|
|
|
We have generated scripts ahead of this proposal, the first of which is complete and ready for comments and the second in development.
|
|
|
|
- [An Introduciton to Mining](https://github.com/moneroguides/2x01-mining-basics/blob/main/script.md)
|
|
- [How to Set Up Your Rig](https://github.com/moneroguides/2x02-setting-up-your-rig/blob/main/script.md)
|
|
|
|
We believe this series will provide a good and relatively in-depth introduction for anyone looking to get into mining.
|
|
|
|
## Video Contents
|
|
|
|
### An introduction to mining
|
|
|
|
In this first video we take a look at how the Monero protocol works and how RandomX plays an important role. Here we consider topics such as hashrate, difficulty, network security and block rewards.
|
|
|
|
After this we look at the differences between solo and pool mining with a strong emphasis on P2Pool and its benefits.
|
|
|
|
Finally we discuss efficiency of mining equipment and profitability.
|
|
|
|
This will be the longest video of the two and sets an important foundation for most viewers.
|
|
|
|
### Setting up your rig
|
|
|
|
This video is to be similar in nature to our video for [setting up your own node](https://moneroguides.org/tutorials/01x02-setting-up-your-own-node/). It will be instructional and will cover installation and running of XMRig and P2Pool.
|
|
|
|
We do mention Gupax and make recommendations for those who aren't interested in running their own services.
|
|
|
|
In addition to software guidance, we do also offer brief guidance on hardware choice and undervolting.
|
|
|
|
## Additional comments
|
|
|
|
Since our last series, we've realised that keeping these videos relevant and up to date can be challenging when faced with the deprecation of services and resources (monerodocs.org being a recent example). We have tried to make this series as free as possible from these problems.
|
|
|
|
## Milestones
|
|
|
|
We are proposing 2 milestones, one for each video. However, it's likely that both videos will be completed in parallel.
|
|
|
|
## What we are asking for
|
|
|
|
The amount we're asking for is a product of a rate of $35/h and 60 hours of work.
|
|
|
|
We are also hoping that competent members of the community step forward to help review and comment on our scripts!
|
|
|
|
Thanks for taking the time to read this proposal and peace be with you privacy fans.
