Sugestion: CAKE WALLET

Cake wallet is fine, you could also go monero only with monero.com on your phone (it's cake wallet's monero only wallet) For desktop I suggest the monero GUI wallet (node included) from getmonero.org (also good resource on all things monero)

For the desktop I am suing the cli wallet. I like the command line. For the cellphone I will go with your recommendations and try cake wallet.

on desktop i use cake wallet too. I have monero gui, but, how i have others coin, like nano, bitcoin, solana and monero, cake wallet work wll. to help monero, i use XMRIG, to miner.

I am a Monero maximalist 😜 Nah... I am just joking. I really want to play with smart contracts. But one step at a time. First cover the Monero use cases. I am afraid of the resource consumption of mining and of a full node (which you need for mining). I will have to get a new SSD or Nvme drive for a full node and a way to limit the resource consumption of the miner (maybe run it in a VM with a fixed amount of cores?). One step at a time. Let's get the basic use case (using it as money) under way and then go to advanced mode.

Eu sou Monero maximalista. Mas nunca coloco todos os meus ovos em uma única cesta. Ainda mais considerando que nem todo mundo aceita monero ou criptomoedas como forma de pagamento (o que é uma lástima). Efetuo pagamentos com monero no dia a dia sempre que possível. Como não sou rico, vou adquirindo e gastando o que posso na medida do possível. O dinheiro ruim sempre se gasta primeiro, mas quando o dinheiro ruim acaba, sou obrigado a recorrer ao gasto com criptomoedas. Quanto a processos de mineração mais complexas, só mesmo se valor o investimento. Baixar nós inteiros e gastar com hardware, são questões a serem avaliadas. Nem todos poderão investir em processadores e NVME só para minerar Monero.

You can run a pruned Monero node, and that takes up about 100 GB instead of the 250 that I full-node would.

Depending on just how serious you are, you might want to consider taking a look at a Monero wallet that does not have fiat APIs at all built in. I don't know of any desktop wallets, but I know that Monfluo on Android doesn't

That is what I am running. But I understand that you can't mine with a pruned node. Or am I wrong?

You can mine with a remote node that enables ZMC. Just need to configure Gupax or Gupaxx.

ZMQ

That is incorrect. You can mine with a pruned node. I've been doing so for over a year now. All it needs is ZMQ enabled.

Good to know! I will add it to my list and try it out!

Lfg

Yes, correct

I'm glad I can help...

Try running your own node?
