XPR? - @Mcdharyl are you sure, you are on the right forum?

Does using 'ripple' in your domain name infringe on Ripple's intellectual property?

It seems convoluted:

1. Spend your local fiat currency on electricity
2. Use the electricity in Proof-of-Work
3. Sell the Proof-of-Work proceeds for some intermediate medium of exchange (BTC, USD?)
4. Sell the intermediate medium of exchange for XRP.

 

You could run an ordinary mining pool  —miners written in C or C++ should be more efficient than miners written in javascript, giving a better return in Step 2. Or bypass steps 2 & 3 altogether and just spend the fiat on XRP. The main beneficiaries to your scheme seem to be the exchanges, since XRP-XMR is an unusual trading pair, and going through an intermediate will incur 2 lots of commission instead of just 1.

Sorry, spending on XRP directly is my path. No way I'd want to get XRP by mining another crypto because it involves a middleman.
