00:07:47 Is anybody on here familiar with Alphabay website 00:08:10 i have a new issue 00:08:16 😅 00:10:08 I’m having a hard time figuring out how to pay vendor. It’s not clear how to copy his address to my Monero-wallet-gui or if I’m suppose to transfer money to wallet on alphabay 00:20:13 I’ve tried for about an hour so I’m not being lazy 00:25:24 * ofrnxmr[m] uploaded an image: (60KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/monero.social/KrRPXQwyzQkYWeFePlbcSxoI/Imagepipe_387.jpg > 00:25:26 :P 00:26:19 It’s updated to latest version 00:26:29 which is 18 00:27:12 So, I don’t get it 00:36:59 Yeah, im just happy to see alphabay notifying their users 00:38:53 http://alphabay522szl32u4ci5e3iokdsyth56ei7rwngr2wm7i5jo54j2eid.onion/wallet 00:55:54 ofrnxmr: I can’t access that website from regular internet. Think I have to do it through tor? 00:57:15 Anyway it shouldn’t be this difficult to figure out. I’m pretty smart but this shit is like rocket science 😂 00:57:27 🤔 just what alphabay were you on? Lol 00:57:43 Come on, as if you you didn’t know 00:57:52 😉 00:58:02 I sent the link to alphabay 00:58:15 Oh, cool 00:58:23 Its an onion. It only works in tor 00:58:26 lets see what they do 00:58:45 You load your wallet on alphabay first 00:59:08 well, that’s the question. How? 00:59:15 "http://alphabay522szl32u4ci5e3io..." <- ^ 00:59:20 They’re not making it user friendly 00:59:32 http://alphabay522szl32u4ci5e3iokdsyth56ei7rwngr2wm7i5jo54j2eid.onion/wallet 00:59:32 This is how 00:59:45 I’ll check when I’m off my. Flight. Can’t get on tor now 01:00:12 thanks! 01:00:46 Np 01:01:18 But you are saying I can load my Monero-wallet-gui on Alphabay? 01:01:58 No. 01:01:58 Just like an exchange, alphabay had a wallet tied to your account 01:02:44 You deposit funds on alphabay aka send a transfer from gui > your alphabay deposit address 01:03:09 Well, I don’t know how to load that wallet from my Monero wallet. I looked and nothing pops out 01:03:21 🤔 01:03:30 Get off your flight and read the instructions 01:03:38 or put money in Alphabay wallet from Monero wallet 01:03:48 ok! 01:03:58 If you've ever used an exchange before, the only difference is the deposit address is 1 time use 01:03:58 Dont send more than one transfer there 01:04:20 Yes 01:04:37 i have never used an exchange 01:05:13 * ofrnxmr[m] uploaded an image: (135KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/monero.social/epXKukbqxxXFnBBTbSZsCQjh/Image_210.jpg > 01:06:17 Is this your first time using monero? 01:06:30 Or crypto? 01:06:37 Yeah, I clicked on that but it wasn’t clear on how to put funds in there from my Monero wallet. I’ll look again. Thank you for your time. It’s appreciated 01:07:00 Yeah, after the 'long disclaimer is a button to generate the address 01:07:25 Ok, then you copy to Monero? 01:07:31 * ofrnxmr[m] uploaded an image: (222KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/monero.social/uMWIqVTlFfiAABJTjFklDkbN/Imagepipe_388.jpg > 01:07:36 wallet 01:08:39 Oh, ok. Well, that looks familiar but I was afraid to follow through because I’m not sure about anything I’m doing on this website 01:09:45 So, once address is generated I should easily be able to copy to Monero wallet? 01:10:22 Yeah, send a monero from gui > that address 01:10:47 s/a// 01:10:48 ok, I’ll 01:11:04 ofrnxmr[m]: 52 tabs cuh 01:11:15 try that once I get home.

You’re way off base and you don’t know me 05:51:44 This has nothing to do with freedom, I am pointing out the topic of this chatroom. I am not judging you in any way. I do not need to know you, I just know what goes on Alphabay. 07:09:56 most likely a psyop anyways, just sayin o.o 07:09:57 :tinfoil: 07:10:26 irs has entered the chat 08:05:42 Amd IRS has just entered. 🕶️ 09:47:29 * cognitive_concep uploaded an audio file: (36KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/eYofIzoKxxWpGOzfOaTuIMaB/Voice%20message.ogg > 11:26:27 Hello, anyone noticed that the network fee is high? 11:26:41 Maybe someone spamming the network?

Your shares and hashrate are safe and we will fix things ASAP." 22:22:25 wow :D 22:23:48 sech1: Yeah sure hashrate is safu 22:23:53 hmm, they seem to have found only 1/4th of blocks on the old chain, so total hashrate should be around 30-40 MH/s there 22:24:42 The rest could be masterless bots 22:25:20 So much hash... 22:29:59 I have been using Monerujo and one of the transactions I made was confirmed in a block which was apparently part of the wrong side of the hard fork. I suppose the devs for the wallet should examine the issue, but I joined the room in case it's something that others might want to know about. The fork had blocks in it from 2688902 to 2688911 which were apparently mined over about 40 hours. The solution was to stop using the 22:29:59 remote nodes that received their last block more than an hour ago (ultimately, to start running your own node, but that takes a while to download) and connect to a node listed at monero.fail. 22:31:23 damn, 30 - 40 Mh/s, that's about same hashrate on wownero :O 22:33:16 My local copy of the blockchain grew by 263 million bytes in the last 9 hours. My Internet speed is WAY faster than 0.5MB per minute. Is there a list of things I should check to optimize the speed of my sync? 22:33:30 Open port 22:33:31 ? 22:33:55 Also I need help if anyone can 22:34:10 dscotese: If you are syncing on a HDD rather than a SSD, it will be very slow 22:34:27 Rucknium[m]: Thanks. I'm syncing on a SSD. 22:34:32 Also if you have a slow CPU 22:34:38 Wait wut 22:34:43 Why y’all got bot tags 22:34:45 Lol 22:35:11 To us, it is you who has the bot tag 22:35:12 cause it's the matrix 22:35:16 Because youre on some other service and were on the main one 22:35:23 Lol 22:35:38 Flamethrowerrrr to discorderzzz 22:36:08 Sorry dscotese: 22:36:08 Still trying to convert those millis into mbs 22:36:09 ofrnxmr[m]: isnt irc technically the "main" one tho? :P 22:36:09 I think the network is under heavy download/upload load since people are re-syncing bodes or syncing for the first time 22:36:28 Nopeeee 22:36:53 Might be the original, but we hard forked onto matrix 22:37:10 And have backward compatibility for grampys peers 22:37:23 alrighty then, was main one when it was on freenode then but they changed to libera so now we the main one, got it :3 22:38:45 tho, most of MRL still over irc instead... 22:39:00 :hyperthonk: 22:39:05 Commandlinerz 22:39:32 nah, hipsters boomers o.o 22:39:36 Jk. I gave up trying to figure out libera on mobile though 22:39:55 Need someone from libera side to create the community-dev channel 22:40:05 And merge to matrix 22:40:21 but it's already bridged tho 22:40:30 Not community-dev 22:40:35 like selsta and sech1 are on the irc side of comunity chan 22:40:37 oh 22:40:50 right but community dev be like just 50 people in it or so i think 22:41:02 Its new :) 22:41:08 63 yeah 22:41:12 But should be on libera as well 22:41:27 Its a higher LCL chat 22:41:42 dscotese: 22:41:47 Are you able to type sync_info into monerod 22:41:52 And see your download speed 22:42:08 s/LCL/Lvl/ 22:42:29 Also try `print_net_stats` 22:42:38 To view your average speeds 22:43:16 "Also if you have a slow CPU" <- I use `top` and see that monerod is never at the top (%CPU ordered). I remember doing something for Bitcoin to allow it to connect to more than 8 peers. Does monerod have such a limitation without some similar configuration change? 22:43:28 Sync info should show a list of peers, then below that, a list of downloaded blocks waiting in queue 22:43:47 Not sure what monerod default peers are 22:43:57 But you can type sync_info to see them.... 22:44:02 Or print_cn 22:44:55 If you need to increase them 22:44:55 `out_peers 100` 22:44:59 irc irc irc 22:45:16 u boomer hipster 22:45:27 my slow cpu and slow ssd does about 1.7 blocks/sec 22:45:41 does = syncs 22:45:45 dscotese: `in_peers ` and `out_peers ` 22:45:54 To change max number of peers 22:46:08 dscotese[m]: which OS and what hardware do you use? is it an external ssd? 22:46:45 my fast and fast does ~3.7 blocls/sec 22:48:05 I think sync_info is best place to start. 22:48:05 If no blocks in queue = bad connection 22:48:05 If blocks in queue = slow verification or disk speed 22:48:13 these numbers are for more recent blocks, not from the beginning 22:57:18 "Also try `print_net_stats`" <- Yes, I see 7.66 KB/s, 0.09% of the 8MB/s limit. Also, `sync_info` shows most peers as "before_handshake" a few "normal" with a height of 1, and a few "synchronizing" with a height that is reasonably high, but all of them have 0 Queued Blocks and 0 MB. 22:58:00 can you post the output of "sync_info" to paste.debian.net ? 23:02:08 "dscotese: which OS and what..." <- It's a "Beelink U Series" set up into a "BeFree" as described at https://sovransystems.com/ and it has an internal 2TB SSD that I'm using. 23:02:27 And the OS is Manjaro Linux. 23:03:21 Ah 23:03:50 2tb hdd 23:03:58 256gb ssd 23:04:05 'Post sync_info pls 23:04:54 > <@ofrnxmr:monero.social> If you need to increase them 23:04:54 > 23:04:54 > `out_peers 100` 23:04:54 Don't out_peers try to get blocks from me instead of sending them to me?

It'll have to wait till tomorrow. 23:24:42 You can take a picture or screenshot if that works 23:25:58 If opsec is a concern, clean the image and block out the IP's.
