02:14:47 https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/8820 02:15:23 lol 02:32:29 artificial misinformant at it again 06:04:25 so much for our AI overlords 06:08:08 That's where the three laws of robotics fail. The AI is so insane it will not realize it's going aginst the laws. 07:16:12 I can't verify the gitian sigs, since I'm on holiday. 14:50:23 @+moneromoo thanks for the tip to  run with --offline --fixed-difficulty N yesterday. That seems to be working just like I need. :) 18:04:36 I see that when mining with xmrig to the monerod rpc endpoint, Xmrig posts something like the following: 18:04:36 nX-Hash-Difficulty: 10729\r\n\r\n{"id":2,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"submitblock","params":["101(shortended)00"]}' 18:04:37 Just the hash and the difficulty. I thought I was going to get a blob and nonce that I can use to verify the work before sending it to the daemon. 18:04:37 Any tips on how I can validate the hash before sending it to the daemon? 18:11:11 i think miner self select config option. #p2pool-mini:libera.chat 18:14:56 As an aside, you can check whether X-Hash-Difficulty is at least daemon diff and avoid forwarding in that case. Saves daemon cycles. 18:18:52 I don't think I understand how  miner self select config option helps here. 18:18:52 To check whether X-Hash-Difficulty is at least daemon diff is something, but it's not quite enough for my use case. 18:18:53 I'm pretty sure I do need to validate the hash with randomx and therefore at least need the nonce used for the hash submitted by xmrig. 18:28:48 The nonce will be included in the data in params. 18:29:27 If you must, you can parse that data as a block hashing blob. But you can just hash it as is. 18:29:43 I think it *should* be the hashing blob. 18:30:33 Though you may not have to hash it. Even if the xmrig process is the adversary, something is going to have to hash. Either you or monerod. And monerod will do it anyway. 18:33:51 Oh. I must have confused what the params are. I thought that was the completed hash already. Now I need to do some more testing :)
