14:30:07 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Just use the corner of an nvme drive as **write cache**
14:30:07 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Like 20GB or something.
14:30:07 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> It make HDD almost as fast as SSD.
16:27:35 <Inge> not for 4k random reads
17:06:41 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> If it's about my comment about my HDD speedup trick, indeed, it's only for monero
17:06:41 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> It take advantage of the fact that monero use mostly recent TX as decoys.
17:06:42 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Write cache instead of normal cache is because you don't want the cache to be contaminated by older TX that got read. You want to have the **latest** 20GB+ worth of monero blockchain in there, nothing else.
17:06:42 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> That way you get the most cache hit and while you still have to process older TX that are not on the cache, most of them are going to be in the cache.
17:06:43 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> I did test with a SMR piece of ****, it work just fine
17:10:54 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Performance difference between normal cache and write cache is about half an order of magnitude.
17:10:54 <m-relay> <g​fdshygti53:monero.social> Plus with normal cache you are going to trash you're SSD erase/write cycle a lot faster too
17:58:42 <m-relay> <c​trej:matrix.org> I think the confusion stems from the fact that DRAM write cache on SSDs is primarily there so that data can be written in batches to the flash, while here we use the SSD as a cache to access the most recent data faster
17:59:07 <m-relay> <c​trej:matrix.org> Do you have some reference that explains how one can setup an SSD as a write cache?

18:10:15 <m-relay> <j​effro256:monero.social> @plowof I suggested a minor change to the bulletproof CCS proposal file https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/413#note_22755
18:11:07 <m-relay> <j​effro256:monero.social> plowsof: lol not plowof
18:14:33 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:monero.social> jeffro256: GF
18:15:31 <m-relay> <j​effro256:monero.social> girlfriend?

18:15:41 <nioc> general fund
18:15:57 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:monero.social> Girlfriend would be nice too :D
18:15:58 <m-relay> <j​effro256:monero.social> ohhh okay
19:09:52 <m-relay> <p​lowsof:matrix.org> jeffro256 i can't see the suggestion/comment 😟
19:10:01 <m-relay> <j​effro256:monero.social> I deleted it
19:10:23 <m-relay> <j​effro256:monero.social> it was a suggestion change "wip" -> "fr"
19:11:02 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:monero.social> And comment was something like "or do we know where funds are coming from?"
19:11:05 <m-relay> <p​lowsof:matrix.org> ah it makes sense. a comment saying you are in favour of the GF picking up the tab is also important, thanks
19:17:44 <m-relay> <p​lowsof:matrix.org> "That sounds like the revised bp++ scope is OK" https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/910#issuecomment-1775087566 binaryFate pls look into the eyes of MRL and ask them what they want for christmas.. we are also waiting for CypherStack to give a quote on formalizing the seraphis paper - for it to then be looked at by ZKsecurity

20:08:56 <m-relay> <m​asayuki:wired.rehab> So buying XMR/BTC with cash is being treated as illegal now?
20:09:03 <m-relay> <m​asayuki:wired.rehab> > The men allegedly violated the law in that they are not a registered or licensed money transmitting business.
20:10:05 <m-relay> <k​uyi:matrix.org> Probably due to the amounts of money involved
20:11:09 <m-relay> <k​uyi:matrix.org> I know there are reporting thresholds in the US for deposits, withdrawals and transactions with different rules applying to one time transfers and recurring transfers
20:11:21 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:monero.social> Monero condom users*
20:11:37 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:monero.social> buying xmr is fine. Not when you want to funnel your btx through it like housdiniswap
20:15:48 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:monero.social> And this, cant do trades over 10k without breaking kaws, less in some places
20:16:38 <m-relay> <k​uyi:matrix.org> Yes
20:16:38 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:monero.social> also cant meetup with feds and trade 15m and think youre a-ok.
20:16:55 <m-relay> <k​uyi:matrix.org> And certain amounts quarterly, yearly etc.
20:17:05 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:monero.social> daily too. Like 1k/day, or 10k/tx
20:17:32 <m-relay> <k​uyi:matrix.org> The amounts of money they were transferring regularly would generally be amounts associated with heavily reviewed institutions
20:17:32 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:monero.social> One autoreporting requirement, one is a keep logs requirement
20:17:32 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:monero.social> Etc
20:18:03 <m-relay> <k​uyi:matrix.org> And yes not dealing with LEA informants is generally necessary for quality of life in general 🙃
