08:34:38 <gastiyamla[m]> Trying to test a monero-wallet-rpc application but can't seem to sync my monerod node on stagenet. I get to about 10% and then it slows down to a crawl. Is there some secret here?
08:35:33 <gastiyamla[m]> Doesn't seem like monero-wallet-rpc plays too nicely with remote daemons (looks like it's something to do with the refreshing it has to do whenever a wallet is created/opened)
08:36:30 <moneromoooo> Check "perf top" or level 2 logs. 
08:37:13 <moneromoooo> Also "sync_info", the overview line should always start with m, and ideally have a lot of o after it.
08:40:08 <gastiyamla[m]> Not sure what perf top is, doesn't seem to work on my system
08:40:22 <gastiyamla[m]> monerod --stagenet sync_info doesn't have an overview line for me
08:40:48 <gastiyamla[m]> Not sure what to report from the level 2 logs
08:41:07 <gastiyamla[m]> I'm operating behind Tor if that would matter but I synced mainnet very quickly over Tor so I don't think so
08:44:52 <gastiyamla[m]> Level 2 logs is just a lot of trying to connect now
09:02:54 <moneromoooo> Well, there you go then. Possibly very few others to get data from.
09:03:41 <moneromoooo> monerod has a tendency to drop peers when it does not strictly need it, which might exacerbate this.
09:03:50 <moneromoooo> So use mainnet or wait.
09:18:37 <gastiyamla[m]> Strange that it can reliably sync to 10% and then slows down though? Wouldn't that indicate a bunch of nodes sitting around with only 10% of the blockchain?
11:59:05 <binaryFate> gastiyamla[m]: check if the stagenet node here is part of your peers, if not maybe try to connect to it: https://community.rino.io/nodes.html
12:02:13 <binaryFate> usually it should be stable and with ok bandwidth

19:51:23 <john_alan> are there any todo items that need volunteers atm?
19:52:12 <UkoeHB> john_alan: PR blake2b and twofish out of my seraphis_lib branch and add test vectors
19:52:54 <john_alan> thanks @UkoeHB 
19:52:58 <john_alan> got a link?
19:53:17 <UkoeHB> https://github.com/UkoeHB/monero/tree/seraphis_lib/src/crypto
19:53:40 <UkoeHB> you'll have to hunt online for test vectors
19:54:27 <UkoeHB> you could also just pr test vectors against my branch, then I can PR to upstream
19:55:06 <UkoeHB> test vectors need to go here: https://github.com/UkoeHB/monero/tree/seraphis_lib/tests/crypto
20:07:06 <john_alan> danke
20:07:31 <john_alan> looking now
20:07:43 <UkoeHB> awesome thanks
