I am looking to mine on my laptop at night to try get enough to fund at least part of a mullvad VPN account. I need a miner and wallet that doesn't care about age and will let me turn mining off when I'm using my laptop.

What would you recommend?

impossible to benefit

He was worried about his age, so he’s likely to be young, which means perhaps he has “free (gratis) electricity” = pure benefit at no cost

@Saki Sure just ran the pc mining rig in the background, while your parents sweating and toiling away to get monthly salary to keep their freeloader ungrateful son of b**** under their same roof. 😅

Well, his nick suggests he’s in a minority group. He wants to use VPN and he wants to pay secretly, which could mean various delicate/difficult situations.

@sleepybisexual For your privacy, use Tor Browser whenever possible. If you just need an exit node in a specific country, I could tell you how to do that w/ Tor Browser.

Tor is not the tool for my situation, I need actual network speed. Accounts will be involved rendering tor useless. Sorry if thus is rude but while I suck at it I know what opsec is and not to use sign in on tor

Don’t be sorry, so you do need VPN. Monero.town is Tor-friendly. You can use it perfectly via TB.

What is that?

This place (a Lemmy instance) is called monero.town. Many of Monero-related websites are friendly to Tor Browser (TB), including this place.

@Saki Why would you even suggest such a low I.Q. Mind numbing brain fart dumb idea of a thing? It's too f**king stoopid you ain't scamming people for that! I feel sorry for you that I had to tell you these. 😂

Why would anyone want a specific exit node? They're designed to be random.

More importantly exit node compromises just means SAY BYE BYE to Your BITCOIN Money!
👋🐶

Please stop tryna become a wannabe hacker, try other field of works, okay.
