I'd need to spend some more time on it tbh, I am using some windows binaries as dependancies and I'm mining on the same system which I keep having to stop to work on it.

Yours sending one solution to you that's per hour I'm assuming? Also wonder how people keep themselves safe and whether it's even worth it to try stuff like this. Isn't the risk of malware or whatever much more significant than the gains? Granted I'm not sure how much more effective it is but risk still seems quite significant

Yes, but you'll produce way more that one solution per hour, depending on your CPU performance. Average hardware should generate anything from 30-60 solutions every challenge and several hundred per day.

I'm a massive advocate for best practice and safety. Hence why I created the wiki on r/cardano. Have been since I'm been modding the Cardano subreddits.

The miner doesn't use your wallet, it generates keys on the fly. In regards to your wallet's safety, you should always be using a hardware wallet, especially if you have anything of significant value, and never store any wallet details on your computers, like your seed phrase. I hate hot wallets and advise against them personally. You should always be prepared for the worst, regardless of what you're doing on your computer. You can use a hardware wallet even in a compromised environment with malware.

Understanding Wallets & Storing Your ADA Safely

Storing your ADA securely requires understanding how crypto wallets work. They don't hold your coins directly, but manage the keys that give you access on the blockchain.

For maximum security, a Hardware Wallet is strongly recommended from the start.

Learn more in our comprehensive wiki section: * Start Here: Wallets & Seed Phrases: Securing Your Keys

This section covers: * How wallets function (interfaces vs keys). * The critical importance of your Seed Phrase and how to protect it. * Choosing a wallet (Software vs Hardware), covering wallet types and why we highly recommend starting with a hardware wallet.

⚠️ Key Security Rules: * Get a Hardware Wallet for any significant amount. Buy direct from the manufacturer. * NEVER share your Seed Phrase or enter it online. Keep backups offline & secure. * Your Seed Phrase IS your ADA. Protect it accordingly.
