04:07:03 My blockchain synced with the speed of 3.47 block per second. It it slow? 04:08:50 My blockchain synced with the speed of 3.47 blocks per second. It it slow? 04:09:10 I would say that it took around 2-3 days 04:09:26 Is there a way to speed up this process? 04:27:49

faster ssd in your computer 04:34:24 Well, it's samsung 990 pro 2 tb 04:35:05 3/4 of it is for linux. I have to resize it backwards to make it 1/20 but it seems that it's going to take much time too. 04:35:46 But, it's in thinkpad t14s gen 3 amd laptop. 04:35:57 But, it's in thinkpad t14s gen 3 amd laptop that means it's going to be hot in it. 04:40:34 Last 105363 synced in 8.4 hours (3.477 block per second) 04:40:45 Does monerod download node from other nodes? 04:40:53 Does `monerod` download node from other nodes? 04:40:59 Last 105363 block synced in 8.4 hours (3.477 block per second) 04:56:05 `monerod` downloads the blockchain from other Monero nodes but the bottleneck is verifying all of the blocks. An SSD helps speed up the verification process. 06:42:17 When is the next Monero meet? How can I be more of a part of this, my favorite asset? Is there a mining meet convention? Not a tech backround fyi but enthusiastic. Helpful links appreciated. Thank you for your time. 10:25:09 Is there a way to buy monero with fiat? 10:26:24 Right now, to buy monero, I have to find exchange in bestchange.com, buy LTC or DASH from there, and exchange it to XMR. There are too many layers here. 10:30:43 retoswap.com 10:32:14 Why, isn't it on official website? 10:32:45 file a PR to add it 10:34:31 dont kraken and kucoin still sell xmr? And possibly providers in cake 10:40:30 afaik, trocador.app lets you buy XMR directly using FIAT 10:40:34 nvm it doesn't, my bad 11:51:17 Wasn't cw using guardarian which iirc stopped offering xmr recently 11:59:52 No idea :P. i havent ever tried to buy xmr using cake 12:09:24 they do take a huge cut out of it AFAIK 12:11:39 Where should I buy litecoin and dash, then? 12:11:46 And atom-swap it to XMR 12:11:54 I think that it's still better than buying from CEX 12:12:13 Where should I buy litecoin and dash for fiat, then? 12:12:22 except bestchange.com 12:12:49 In what other places except bestchange.com, can I buy LTC or DASH? 12:13:16 In what other places, except bestchange.com, can I buy LTC or DASH? 12:16:01 Atom swap using dash isnt do-able 12:16:03 Use ltc 12:16:23 Where do I buy it? 12:16:43 How can I buy it without KYC? 12:16:55 In what places except bestchange.com, can I buy it without KYC? 12:17:09 if no-kyc, use retoswap to buy xmr directly 12:17:11 In what places, except bestchange.com, can I buy it without KYC? 12:21:09 I've read you can buy LTC KYC free on StealthEX. https://stealthex.io/blog/no-kyc-for-buying-cryptocurrency-on-stealthex/ 12:23:17 https://monero.eco/exchanges/ 12:23:30 ofrnxmr: how’s liquidity on basicswapdex? Haven’t heard much lately. Growing? Stagnant? 12:29:17 Little of A little of B, hard to tell because volume isnt tracked. Usually about 10xmr or 20ltc are the biggest offers. It's definitely not growing as fast as i'd like to see 12:30:05 I personally have over 100 trades though 12:30:52 Almost all liquidity is between ltc, btc and xmr. Not much, if any, for other coins 12:33:11 There are no offers with my currency there, unfortunately. 12:34:35 it's uzs. 13:54:54 What is slowing growth you think? 14:23:09 If I buy LTC on binance and atom-swap it to XMR. Everything will be okay, right? After getting XMR, transaction can't be tracked, as I understand, right? 14:23:32 It's just that the biggest exchange here is Binance. 14:24:29 If I make offers in haveno or basicswap. I think that I will wait for a long time. 14:24:45 If I make offers in haveno or basicswap. I think that I will wait for a long until somebody buys something from there. 14:31:57 Depends on your opsec 15:05:01 2 things: requirement to run nodes for ltc etc, and no bigger liquidity providers. 15:07:26 the rates are good when cashing out of xmr (can get ltc for -0.5 to 1%) 15:07:37 And can get xmr for 1-4% usually 15:07:58 Rates are comparable or better than centralized swappers 15:09:12 And regarding opsec on basicwap for ltc - basicswap doesnt supprt swapping ltcmweb, but it includes an mweb wallet. So you can shield your funds periodically if you need to obfuscate the origin 23:15:05 There is an application that is very similar to matrix but doesn't use servers because it is P2P. It actually works very well, better than Matrix in some cases like large rooms and file transfers and obviously you don't need to run a server. keet.io is the website and it is available on most platforms. There is a link in the app on the profile page to the community room to get you 23:15:07 started in the app.
