The mining aspect of Monero is a missing part to our guide.

While I'm going to do a bit more of a deep dive in a future post, to summarise I don't think it looks profitable as an individual miner using your old CPU.

Yes it's possible to mine XMR using your own computer, but the chances of getting successful blocks are extremely low, meaning you will likely be unable to offset your costs.

However, there are some other ways to mine Monero, such as joining a mining pool or the like.

Cheers for bringing this up :)
