It’s pretty simple. Downloaded official Monero GUI and then just let it do its thing.

Takes a while to sync but if you’re low on storage can run pruned.

Also can mine on a decentralized pool on your PC, option is there in the GUI wallet. Not gonna be making any bank but maybe like a $1-$4 per month on a standard PC.

  2. Way more options to configure
  3. Better UI but that’s neither here nor there.
