it takes a long time to sync and mine, and its slow af. Use wolf's optiminer fork (requires a CPU with AES-Ni, so 2nd gen core series or newer, 3rd gen got a bit AES performance bump, not sure if Ryzen has AES), it's like 5x faster, and doesnt require syncing Then suprnova.cc is the only mining pool I know of that works (hodl.suprnova.cc), and I pay it out to coinexchange.io so I can swap it to other coins quickly and easily
