<k​entuxy:matrix.org> The moment of i have been waiting for for the past four >>

<k​entuxy:matrix.org> Im in Syn

<k​entuxy:matrix.org> Im in Sync

<k​entuxy:matrix.org> This is the New Irritation Now. LOL

<e​longated:matrix.org> Welcome to monero

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> plowsof if only those 6.01xxx were coming to me... 😭

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> grateful to all 3 donors. seems like 2nd sent his 6 at the same as the third for Revuo's specific one. 😅

<s​amuelhautamaki:envs.net> How large is Monero network on disk?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> blockchain*

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> and iirc its about 260GB full and 95GB pruned

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> ofrnxmr confirmation?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> 230, but yeah

<s​amuelhautamaki:envs.net> excuse me for my language that's somewhat crazy not gonna lie.

<s​amuelhautamaki:envs.net> If the idea is that most people who use Monero also run their own node, it being so large on the disk seems, "counterintuitive"?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> No. U like bitcoin derived coins, the node and wallet are entirely separated

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Unlike*

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Meaning, you can use a full wallet, without running your own node. Depending on your "tier" of involvement, running your own node may or may not be recommended.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Example: if you are a merchant, you SHOULD run your own node.

<s​amuelhautamaki:envs.net> If it is recommended and mostly high encouraged, then I do think that such a large disk requirement is a little "counterintuitive" somewhat, just my 2cents though

<s​amuelhautamaki:envs.net> If it is recommended and mostly high encouraged, then I do think that such a large disk requirement is a little "counterintuitive" somewhat, just my 2cents though, Though I don't know what the solution to this would even be

<s​amuelhautamaki:envs.net> "the Monero community suggests to always run your own node to obtain the maximum privacy possible and to help decentralize the network."

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> running a node locally isnt the most private. it brings security of transactions by ensuring your node has its own "look" into the network, lowers bandwidth requirements for syncing multiple wallets, and eliminates a malicious entity from serving you bad data

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> If you use a node locally, with default setup, your ISP can determine which transactions originated on your node. Therefore, it is not the maximum privacy

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Maximum privacy would be to connect to a remote node over encrypted communications or anonymity networks

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> yeah use a remote node, a lot of people use remote node

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> from respectable members of the community

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> some of them have https for encryption

since some of the CCSs were overfunded can I get my donations back?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> if its for your cat i'm all for it

really need the counter to go up when the donation is in the mempool or 1st conformation

donation was from my wallet not Cat's

right now donations don't show until 10 confirmations

Does the holy red bar handle re-orgs? :(

syntheticbird Cat says thank you

We finally have an excuse

lol

<h​bs:matrix.org> should wait 720 confirmations, #KrakenStyle

let's get to work on this one guys and gals ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2025-q3.html

<l​oader009:matrix.org> I noticed something weird about my power usage when mining XMR.

<l​oader009:matrix.org> Since I use a server with IPMI (old server), I can see the power usage history.

<l​oader009:matrix.org> Specifically I am testing some energy saving mode, I have enabled the powersave governor, thus the CPU frequency is constantly 800MHz.

<l​oader009:matrix.org> Using xmrig-mo, I noticed that if I use the physical cores (core 0-3), the power usage is 10W more than with no load.

<l​oader009:matrix.org> But if I use the logical cores (hyper threading cores 4-7), the power usage is just 2W more than with no load.

<l​oader009:matrix.org> I would guess that either the BIOS is buggy or the CPU constantly draws lots of power for the HT cores even with no load.

<l​oader009:matrix.org> Did someone make the same observation?

acx part-time work on Monfluo 2025Q3 is now fully funded! ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/acx-mon…ance-and-further-development-2.html @luigi1111
