A short winter bike tour
Yesterday, I watched some cycling videos and that somehow gave me some motivation to do at least one more short bike tour this year. Today, I did a short round around the city and saw some new places. With 5° Celsius and some sun, the temperature wasn’t the best, but at least it didn’t rain. To keep the motivation high, I listened to some music with my new headphones. ⌘ Read more

[ANN] RandomX 5 Year Anniversary
Yes, it’s been 5 years on the same PoW. And the date came and went without much fanfare. For those perhaps trickling into monero because of the pRiCe, you may not be aware of how much of a milestone this is in the context of an industry that is ruthless when it comes to exploiting weak PoW algorithms for profit.

XMR registers 2.5-year high of $218 after ~31% surge
Monero (XMR/USD1) bulls have managed to essentially wipe all bear progress since May 2022 with an impressive under 9-hour ~31% surge yesterday from $166 to ~$218.
As I am writing this report, the reds are trying to force the price back under the 200 psychological level.
Provided bulls manage to reinforce the 175-185 support zone, we could see another attempt to break the local top. This could leave the next resistance around … ⌘ Read more
