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.
