09:44:10 <afungible[m]> Hi all, new here, just learning to use matrix. My background is as a dev/ C++. Can help with some peer reviews coming days.
09:45:15 <moneromooo> Hi, reviews are always welcome, thanks.
13:08:21 <Rucknium[m]1> afungible: Hi! Also join #monero-recruitment:monero.social 
14:24:59 <binaryFate> HEADS UP FOR MATRIX USERS: The Monero matrix server (monero.social) will be down for 1-2h starting Friday Jan 28th, 1:00AM GMT. We will migrate it to a new host. Hopefully no data should be lost.
18:25:10 <AlephNull[m]> Morning Everyone, 
18:25:10 <AlephNull[m]> I am just kind of curious, I am looking at the monero-gui code and I am looking specifically for how it gathers entropy for the wallet seed. 
18:25:10 <AlephNull[m]> Can someone point this part out to me? 
18:25:10 <AlephNull[m]> I was interested if it would be possible to add user supplied entropy too like how veracrypt does with mouse movements. 
18:26:58 <moneromooo> It almost certainly leaves this to wallet2, which uses the system's PRNG, and can add user supplied entropy when used via monero-wallet-cli, but I don't know if monero-wallet-gui exposes it. If not, you can create the wallet with monero-wallet-cli, it's the same format.
18:27:58 <moneromooo> Looking at --help, you want --extra-entropy (git grep this to find where to start looking in the source).
18:28:26 <AlephNull[m]> Awesome thank you 
18:28:52 <moneromooo> Actually, git grep extra-entropy (without --).

21:18:09 <selsta> moneromooo: could this be an issue with their network speed? https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/8144#issuecomment-1020533367
21:18:27 <selsta> I don't see this mooooo line at all in the sync_info output
21:20:37 <moneromooo> If it were *really* slow. 63 kB/s is nowhere slow enough to do that I think.
21:21:09 <moneromooo> Are there ll2 logs somewhere ?
21:21:28 <moneromooo> If not, I could look at logs with: 1,*queue*:DEBUG,*p2p*:DEBUG
21:24:33 <selsta> ok asked them for logs
21:27:22 <moneromooo> OK, I see your message, github mangled the stars.
22:52:52 <afungible[m]> I have a question. Any catches to using Monero-CLI client, to automate payments from source account to destination account? E.g. Jim wants to pay John, end of every month his salary in XMR. Didn't have the need to use CLI before, but the commands of CLI looks fairly straightforward for a script. And, I'd need debiting the source account &, auto-signing the txn.
22:53:57 <moneromooo> There's no guarantee the output will not change. If you really must, I guess you can build without readline and use expect but it's not really a good idea.
22:54:05 <merope> you can just use the wallet-rpc instead, and automate it with a python script
22:54:37 <merope> there are even dedicated libraries to interact with it
22:57:58 <afungible[m]> moneromooo: No guarantee out put will not change? Is that because I need to type in the pwd to sign the txn.? Ofc, can change the code n build, etc.but looking for a solution that scales.
22:58:52 <moneromooo> It is because noone wants to have that pointless constraint when monero-wallet-rpc is there for that purpose.
22:58:59 <afungible[m]> merope: Any documentation I can refer to? Is this of the official Monero wallet (GUI/CLI) libraries?
22:59:49 <moneromooo> If you're familiar with python, there are bindings in utils/python-rpc. Call those, see what JSON you get back.

23:16:24 <afungible[m]> Great, thanks for the resources. Let me check them out.
