00:59:04 Does anyone know why it’s taking so long for Daemon on Monero wallet to synchronize? We are talking hours. I’m new to this so don’t know if that’s normal 01:00:37 it downloads and verifies 8 years worth of transaction history 01:01:18 you only have to do sync once and afterwards you always only have to sync the new blocks 01:01:30 you can also use a remote node if it takes too long for you 01:04:08 well, this is not the first time I’m syncing this and it’s taken hours for the second time 01:04:18 so, not sure if I’m doing something wrong 01:04:43 which version are you using? 01:05:46 18 - latest version 01:06:03 v0.18.0.0 or v0.18.1.0? 01:06:38 18.1.0 01:06:39 also do you have a HDD or SSD? 01:06:53 in general the idea for the daemon is that it is constantly running so that it keeps up with the network 01:07:02 what’s that? 01:07:05 if you only start it once per month then it would be better to use a remote node 01:07:47 HDD, SSD? 01:08:09 what kind of storage you have, but does not matter if you don't know 01:08:23 I read remote is not as secure and that’s why I hesitated 01:08:37 how often do you start monerod? 01:08:42 so many scammers 01:08:50 incredible 01:09:21 i just started using it so been check it out for past 4 days 01:09:42 so last time you started it was 4 days ago? 01:10:04 what is the output if you go to Settings -> Log and then enter "status" 01:10:12 no it was yesterday 01:10:43 I’ve been Che king it out for past 4 days 01:12:43 Ah, hmmmm, it says. Height 1351284/2692630 (50.2%)…… etc 01:13:07 and it also says it’s not mining whatever that means 01:13:13 that's ok 01:13:35 you can either wait or use a remote node 01:14:02 net hash 117.95 MH/s, v5, 12 (out) 01:14:16 on good hardware it is possible to sync up in 8h, but on windows with a hdd it takes significantly longer 01:14:41 It’s in a MacBook pro 01:14:52 which year? 01:14:55 approx 01:15:16 on a MacBook Pro 2021 01:15:32 M1? 01:15:45 yes 01:15:57 ok good to know 01:16:05 do you have the blockchain in the default location or did you change it? 01:16:08 if I put on remote, it’s starts from scratch 01:16:18 i don’t know 01:16:38 if it’s default or changed. Can’t remember 01:16:45 how do I check 01:16:51 Settings -> Node 01:16:59 what does it say as blockchain location? (default)? 01:18:08 it doesn’t say whether it’s default it just says /private/var/folder, etc 01:18:26 hmm that is weird 01:18:52 next to blockchain location it says (change) 01:19:34 In orange color 01:19:37 did you set this to this weird folder? 01:19:58 no, don’t think so 01:20:02 ok let's try this: download the macOS ARM version here: https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/#cli 01:20:13 maybe accident 01:20:17 then close the GUI and the daemon 01:20:38 then extract the macOS ARM .zip and double click "monerod" 01:20:53 it will complain that it is from an unknown developer, I assume you know how to skip that 01:21:04 and then check if it continues from 51% 01:21:26 the GUI is currently not M1 optimized, only the command line tools are 01:22:30 you don't have to do that, but the M1 optimized version will be faster at sync 01:24:16 Oh boy, not sure about this. I typed in website you gave me but it sent me straight to Monero and on address bar it says getmonero.org 01:24:27 that's the monero website 01:24:30 getmonero.org 01:24:58 but if it is too complicated for you you can also wait for it to sync 01:26:12 Yeah, think I’ll wait. I just don’t want to wait this long every time. Thank you for your help🙏🏽 01:26:56 it concerns me a bit that it says /private/var/folder 01:27:05 that's usually the temp directory 01:27:14 which gets deleted on every restart... 01:27:40 and you said you synced it once already? and it was gone? 01:27:45 How do I change it? If I press change? I think it will stop the synchronize 01:27:55 yep 01:28:21 You can press "Stop daemon" as a first step 01:28:42 ok, then? 01:28:47 then go to that folder inside finder, you might have to enable hidden folder 01:29:10 Finder -> Go -> Go to folder 01:29:17 enter /private/var/folder 01:29:27 and check if you find a bitmonero folder 01:29:50 Oh ok 01:29:52 if you don't see it you have to enable hidden files inside finder https://nordlocker.com/blog/how-to-show-hidden-files-mac/ 01:30:46 Press the “Command” + “Shift” + “.” (period) keys at the same time. 01:31:19 It’s not coming up 01:31:54 it should be names bitmonero or .bitmonero 01:31:58 named 01:34:07 I have never seen that happen for any Mac users so I'm confused why it says /var/private/folder as your location 01:34:07 ok, I’m gonna have to do this later. I’m getting impatient. Geez. Thank you so much for your patience with me. I’ll try later 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 01:34:27 usually it is really easy and nothing can go wrong lol 01:34:29 I must have done something accidnet 01:34:47 Accidentally 01:35:12 but the M1 MacBook Pro should sync up quite quickly usually 01:36:19 ok, I just accident 01:36:37 it is such a weird specific folder that would be difficult to set by accident 01:36:49 Created a new folder with my name and documents 01:39:08 Well, it just created another folder with this “/Users/liliana/Documents/Documents - Liliana’s MacBook pro 01:39:46 why not just name it monero-blockchain or something? 01:39:50 Maybe if I reset it? 01:40:01 it named it by itself 01:40:19 hmmm 01:40:29 when I pressed the Change icon and asked to confirm new folder 01:40:36 ok 01:40:45 should I just reset? 01:40:45 well the name should not matter 01:41:20 the reset icon is all the way to the right 01:42:05 I was able to create a monero-blockchain folder inside documents and then select that 01:42:19 https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/bJwJXegP/Screenshot%202022-08-19%20at%2003.42.13.png 01:42:57 You can also just click on Reset and let it download to the default location 01:44:39 Now it’s says default. After pressing reset 01:44:51 default location is the easiest 01:45:12 ok, we’ll it’s still moving super slow 01:46:19 just changing the blockchain location does not move the existing chain 01:46:33 that's why I wanted to to find the existing one in /var/private/folder so that you can move it 01:46:50 and what does "super slow" mean? how many hours did you wait? 01:47:53 Since this morning California time 01:47:58 ridiculous 01:48:24 like I said you don't have the M1 optimized version 01:48:49 What can I do about that? 01:49:26 I explained it previously, you download the macOS ARM version of the CLI wallet here: https://www.getmonero.org/downloads 01:49:42 and then simply double click on "monerod" and let it sync 01:49:59 Ok, let me try that 01:50:01 keep your laptop open until tomorrow and it should be mostly done 01:50:42 but you have close Monero GUI and the daemon first 01:51:55 dont see Monerod here 01:52:45 did you download monero-mac-armv8-v0.18.1.0.tar.bz2 and extract it? 01:53:17 I definitely see it 01:53:43 ok downloaded Monero-Mac-arm8. Etc 01:53:56 https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/nrBVggTF/Screenshot%202022-08-19%20at%2003.53.41.png 01:53:59 check the screenshot 01:54:30 ok it’s ok o got that 01:54:47 now what? 01:56:13 you right click on it and then press open 01:56:28 Ok it just told me it cannot be opened because it’s from an unidentified developer 01:56:37 did you do right click and open? 01:57:01 that is just macOS being annoying by blocking all programs from dev that don't pay 01:57:55 How to,override this? 01:58:12 right click? I just have my pad on my mac 01:58:31 how do you right click normally? 01:59:08 go to the right of the pad? I don’t know. I feel like an idiot 01:59:09 ok, try ctrl + click 01:59:45 oh it did it! 02:00:31 ok so now this new window says process completed on the bottom of a bunch of dates and 02:00:38 other stuff 02:00:48 close that and double click on it normally 02:01:25 https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/UpYf0z9P/Screenshot%202022-08-19%20at%2004.01.18.png 02:01:27 it should look like this 02:02:57 shit how do I get back to that window? 02:03:05 Terminal in dock 02:03:25 Where is dock? 02:03:36 on the bottom of the screen 02:03:55 whre your open programs are 02:05:00 im back at that screen where it has Monerod and when I click on it it goes to that same window where it says process completed 02:05:35 I don’t see where it says docs 02:05:46 Command + Q 02:05:54 and then double click on "monerod" in Finder again 02:06:09 Command + Q while the process completed window is seleccted 02:06:15 selected 02:07:10 ok I did that and it just makes a popping sound. I got the Monerod highlight and press command + Q 02:07:37 Command + Q just means close 02:07:54 so you don't see a screen like in my screenshot? 02:08:31 And I did the same thing from that window that said process complete and it took me back to that screen where Monerod is on the bottom 02:08:42 I do 02:08:55 did you make sure that monero-gui and the daemon were closed before doing this? 02:09:59 No I don’t have that same screen. 02:10:33 no, just closed it now 😔 02:10:42 ok you can't run 2 daemons at once 02:10:53 🥹 02:11:08 Now what? 02:11:25 now try double clicking on monerod in finder and see if it stays open 02:12:05 ok, there again😃 02:12:39 Oh now it says it’s synchronization started etc 02:12:44 yes 02:12:53 now you let this sync over night, make sure that you mac does not go to sleep 02:12:58 its synching it it looks like 02:12:59 e.g. keep it powered in 02:13:30 awesome, thank a million times 💖💖💖 02:13:33 it will sync to the default location now so there is no risk in losing the blockchain like previously 02:13:55 when you start monero-gui make sure to start monerod first 02:14:04 So, come now on it will synch much quicker in Monero wallet? 02:14:16 from now on? 02:14:26 …. 02:14:31 i mean 02:14:41 you have to let it sync now once 02:14:53 it says 6.5 minutes letf 02:15:15 seems you already had a blockchain 02:15:23 but you’re saying just leave it over night? 02:15:44 it should not take over night 02:15:52 For 7mins 02:16:16 How far is it synced? 02:16:28 it is probably the blockchain from your previous sync that was "lost" 02:16:40 well, it looks like this is happening to my happy surprise. Thanks again! 02:17:00 It says 5.8 minutes left 02:17:20 i feel relieved 02:17:38 💝💝💝 02:18:14 make sure to restart your computer sometime in the next days so that the data in /var/private/folder gets deleted 02:18:26 but that's not important now 06:42:31 https://libredd.it/r/xmrtrader/comments/wr4dyz/frozen_withdraws_price_suppression_a_recap_of_the/ 06:45:43 plowsof: i think its time to make some noise about binance 08:06:11 just synced 4 month old wallet in under 3 minutes 12:10:36 Support xmr has almost replaced minexmr 12:10:42 🥲 12:11:24 * ofrnxmr[m] uploaded an image: (128KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/monero.social/QNLWYwZWOIKhkIGOsBCFkYQB/Imagepipe_393.jpg > 12:12:01 * ofrnxmr[m] uploaded an image: (99KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/monero.social/jJSRctZyMtqgPUHvJIwYqdzn/Imagepipe_394.jpg > 12:13:08 * ofrnxmr[m] uploaded an image: (163KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/monero.social/ihiHltobbPZQgrrTkCfLuWKj/Imagepipe_395.jpg > 12:39:12 Looks a little more spread out (though not by much) 12:57:51 Was hoping to see a bigger movement to p2pool honestly. 13:52:44 * monerobull[m] uploaded an image: (149KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/rCkXVmTvyAOwHdEUBCYyrKom/grafik.png > 14:20:03 I'm guessing we're getting another set of minexmr transactions this morning.
