Hi, Everybody

I wanted to say that file size for the block chain is increasing, and it has already become large enough so it should be divided into multiple files.

Is there any plans for that ?

Is there any plans for that ?

in the future?

No. There aren’t currently plans to split it up. It currently uses LMDB which doesn’t lend itself to split files and doesn’t need to.

Read some more details here. There is a more recent Reddit thread with even better arguments for not splitting the DB, but I can’t find it at the moment.

If the need is the easier backup of smaller files, why not just use a program that cuts up the larger file into smaller chunks? Those who worked with floppy disks remember these tools existed, usually as part of a compress tool, e.g. zip, rar. Unless the file randomly changes in space and time.

"Unless the file randomly changes in space and time" which the Monero blockchain file does, being a database.

RavFX: has spoken of a method to use split across multiple storage devices iirc (ram/ssd + hdd etc)

I believe he tested it a few months ago and posted results etc in #monero:monero.social

:D Thanks

I would like to turn this into a blog post on getmonero.org: seraphis-migration/wallet3 #40

Is there any special blog-like mechanism to support that, or do I just make a new file in the style of the other blog-post files, and PR that?

^ That basically

Sorry, latter part applies

Ok, thanks :)

Hello!

I am new to this Matrix tool.

Is this something like Telegram And signal?

How dose this app work is someone would be happy to share. :D

Yes. You can chat with various other people in various channels. Choose a channel that matches what you're interested in. For example, now you're in #monero-dev, where you discuss monero development.

Okay

How can I see Rooms?

I only see Monero Dev?

Not sure if matrix gets you access to all IRC channels though.

Odd. I dunno, sorry.

How are you getting all the rooms then?

IIRC /list in typical IRC clients.

That can be a huge list though.

Okay

Anyway, this is off topic for #monero-dev. Try joining #matrix maybe.
