No, never tried monero. There's still a lot of uncertainty surrounding privacy coins and monero has been pulled off of several exchanges. I do believe it's going to pump eventually as there's enough demand for privacy coins, and monero is the granddad of them all. It's not for me though; what I love about cryptocurrencies is the transparency; we, on Hive and Steemit, can see everything about each other's wallets and all transactions of BTC and most other tokens can be viewed by anyone. The beauty is that this feature doesn't make them unsafe. Also, this transparency is the number one argument against those in the mainstream media who keep asserting that bitcoin's being used for shady stuff and by shady people; it's the opposite and most criminal activities are funded with fiat and cash... Sorry, that was a long answer for a question that could have been answered in a single word ;-)

You can mine it on your desktop.
I haven't won any lotteries, yet.
What about running an edge node to mine theta fuel?
They haven't made one for linux, yet.😕
Monero is the only true cryptocurrency.
All exchanges are scams.
I thank you for your continued support, @logiczombie :-) Some would say that dogecoin is the only true cryptocurrency... ;-)
