00:00:25 <eudaimon36[m]> I.e., is setting up the node a part of setting up the wallet?
00:02:37 <plowsof[m]> when creating your wallet, it will ask you which mode you want to use (simple/bootstrap/advanced) - to run a full node choose advanced , but be aware that you will not be able to use your wallet until the process is finished
00:03:23 <eudaimon36[m]> OK, yes, I figured that was the case. So I will be prompted along the way. Great, thanks!
00:05:07 <eudaimon36[m]> Ok, Went through that. Now what do I click on within the "Monero GUI Wallet" folder?
00:05:22 <eudaimon36[m]> the monero-daemon?
00:05:53 <plowsof[m]> if you are tight on storage space, a pruned node is currently 50GB , a full is.. over 120.. easy guide on a pruned node with the gui https://github.com/plowsof/userguide-drafts/blob/main/pruned-monero-gui.md
00:05:53 <eudaimon36[m]> Just found the PDF. I'll read and get back if I can't figure.
00:06:22 <eudaimon36[m]> I bought a dedicated 500Gb SSD for the fuill node
00:06:40 <plowsof[m]> also if you want an easy way to broadcast your transactions over an anonymity network like i2p (using simple GUIS) this will help https://github.com/plowsof/userguide-drafts/blob/main/i2p/monero-gui-i2p-node.md
00:07:12 <plowsof[m]> ofcourse , after your local node has synchronised 
00:08:23 <eudaimon36[m]> Excellent! Yes, I want to broadcast, but was warned by the Read Me that it is challenging to set up! So thanks!
00:31:18 <eudaimon36[m]> Chain's syncing! My lord, I started this at 5:00am. Never had so much bad luck. So with a 1gb connection, maybe a couple days to fully sync?
00:32:40 <MajesticBank> It's more ssd speed then download
00:32:54 <eudaimon36[m]> the SSD speed is 1050
00:33:18 <eudaimon36[m]> but that is interesting to know--why is that? I actually upgraded to 1gb for this LOL
00:33:58 <MajesticBank> more math then transfer
00:34:17 <MajesticBank> to make sure you are getting the right thing off the network
00:34:19 <eudaimon36[m]> interesting
00:34:25 <eudaimon36[m]> so much to learn...
00:42:04 <nioc> Yes the limiting factor is usually the random read and write speed.  The sequential speed advertised doesn't mean much
00:43:16 <nioc> Just a wild guess but 20MB connection is probably more than enough
04:35:39 <cryptogrampy[m]> tobtoht: anhdres would appreciate you guys taking a look at this CCS and maybe giving some input on feasibility/practicality of seedsigner integration with your wallets: https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/323#note_16684
04:40:18 <cryptogrampy[m]> It looks like Specter, Sparrow and Blue wallet support integration with the BTC seedsigner if you want to glance at their integrations.  The CCS is proposing a new desktop app, and while that may be nice for hardcore users, I think the community would get vastly more support if the integrations happened in an existing wallet as a priority 
04:50:57 <cryptogrampy[m]> Nice video of someone my grandson's age using the seedsigner with a mobile wallet: https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=CQrBlzZAbjs

12:25:31 <pmarg> Monero rules!
12:25:41 <pmarg> ❤
16:00:49 <anhdres[m]> <cryptogrampy[m]> "tobtoht: anhdres would appreciat..." <- ok will check, pinging Mr. m2049r 
16:04:08 <plowsof[m]> If someone can buy the seed signer kit for $30 they win a cookie emoji
