Wrong forum for this type of question.

But No. Its also not nearly as big of a deal as your making it out to be. No one cares you're topping off your mulvad subscription using xmr. Just use cash or buy crypto on a CEX/atm/local and swap to xmr. Especially on an old, less power efficient computer. You need to use Ryzen CPU, folks usually buy minisforum pcs for this.

just ran the numbers, if you get one of these newer amd ryzen pc's you actually might be able break even if your electric is less than 12 cents USD / kwh

use xmrrig.com for benchmark for cpus use miniforum pcs or build your own use https://www.coinwarz.com/mining/monero/calculator use monerica for swap services

Also, if your this concerned with your privacy you should run your own node. See monero.fail

Thanks for the sources.

Personally, I am more concerned about the impact a gas/petrol shortage would have rather than oil as a whole, but this is useful to know.

Where did you get those numbers? I know for gasoline/petroleum its roughly equal local production and consumption.

Is that it?

Can someone post the actual text of Section 224?

sometimes people make comments they may not fully believe in to drive discussion...

bubba i dont believe the article, why are you so dense?

I don't trust the state department- I mean NYT either, but you're not as intelligent as you think you are with that reply.

"the americans said yes but the saudis said no" wow golf clap you got me there so smart
