Hello,
Does anyone mine coins here? I'm thinking about mining zcash over tor for completely anonymous coins to use to pay for VPN service, does anyone here do that? I know there are dedicated coin mining distros, and I'm thinking of building a GPU rig now that I have a good job. I wouldn't mind doing it on Gentoo, I know Ubuntu is popular but i'm not really a fan of Ubuntu.
I'm basically just looking to relay through yall for some thoughts, let me know what you think about this track
thanks. |

| What's your threat model? This setup won't protect you from domestic spying for instance, because "$x000 GPU purchase + sudden increase in electrical consumption and network traffic to cryptocurrency-accepting VPN" doesn't leave a lot to the imagination for an outside observer. |

no need to pay for a vpn service ... you can use I2P --> https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/I2P
