14:22:17 <stilettophiccant> hi
15:57:08 <Halver[m]> I currently use the timestamp from the get_last_block_header monerod RPC to detect if my monerod process is (roughly) up to date or not.
15:57:12 <Halver[m]> Is there a better, more precise, method ?
16:43:05 <Inge> check block height against some other nodes?
17:19:19 <binaryFate> GUI v0.17.3.1 binaries are now online, thank you to all contributors
17:19:46 <moneromooo> Thank you, contributors :)
17:20:08 <Canadiantaku[m]> epic
17:52:58 <dEBRUYNE> Thanks binaryFate!
18:05:55 <monerobull[m]> selsta: do you have any idea what lead to the guy on reddit spending 4 XMR in transaction fees?
18:06:16 <selsta> I'm looking into it
18:16:03 <Rucknium[m]> endor00 and I were looking at the mining reward data a few weeks ago and noticed occasional spikes due to unnecessarily high transaction fees. We figured it could be because of "fat fingers", but maybe something else is at play.
18:17:19 <merope> Can't be just a fat finger, since there's no (apparent?) way to set such a high fee on the popular wallets
18:17:59 <merope> So it's either a buggy third-party wallet, or bad/weird custom code
18:19:20 <monerobull[m]> this guy was using the gui
18:20:15 <merope> Oh
18:20:16 <merope> Then I have no clue
18:28:23 <UkoeHB> some kind of DDOS? i.e. a block full of very-high-fee txs caused observers to think the network fee is very high
18:29:13 <dEBRUYNE> merope: You can set a high fee on the GUI wallet
18:29:32 <selsta> no it's someone trolling with a remote node most likely, but it doesn't seem widespread, saw only one tx with high fee on the blockchain
18:31:30 <merope> dEBRUYNE: sure, but even if you pick the highest multiplier (144x? or something like that), it would still be 144 * 0.0001 xmr (rounding up) - still nowhere near 4 xmr
18:49:04 <utxobr[m]> per/kb transaction fees over last days look good; like selsta, that seems to be the only weird case
18:54:39 <utxobr[m]> (looking solely at highest per/kb values - i.e., quantile=1 - https://imgur.com/a/8KnErtk)
18:55:19 <selsta> it was mined by minexmr so I hope they'll refund it to the user
18:59:18 <merope> utxobr: you need to look long-term, there's like 1 tx/month like that
19:02:12 <neXPer[m]> Why the post on reddit got deleted?
19:08:21 <gingeropolous> don't wanna scare ppl till we know whats up
19:08:34 <BigmenPixel[m]> <binaryFate> "GUI v0.17.3.1 binaries are now..." <- Cool! But it's sad that [#3808](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pull/3808) wasn't pushed ahead of release.
19:10:02 <selsta> could you approve it?
19:17:40 <BigmenPixel[m]> <selsta> "could you approve it?" <- Are you talking to me?
19:19:39 <selsta> yes :D
19:20:56 <BigmenPixel[m]> selsta: Done
19:21:21 <selsta> ok will be included in the next release
19:21:50 <BigmenPixel[m]> selsta: OK, thank you
