18:38:42 <Iwjsks[m]> Hey guys 
18:38:43 <Iwjsks[m]> I am reading the book on Monero now 
18:39:15 <Iwjsks[m]> If I have any questions, do you know whom I could ask?
18:39:51 <Iwjsks[m]> I have only one so far to be precise:
18:39:51 <Iwjsks[m]> If Monero is as private as it gets and in theory people can't see transactions and wallet balances unless using very specialised tools and even then there are loopholes...
18:40:03 <Iwjsks[m]> How do we know the market capitalisation of Monero? 
18:41:22 <moneromooo> We know the amount of monero created (coinbase amounts are cleartext). We know the average price a monero is bought and sold for. The definition of market cap is the product of those.
18:42:06 <moneromooo> Your second to last sentence is... weird though.
18:43:50 <Iwjsks[m]> moneromooo: Well, Chainalysis and Cypher trace develop tools to trace Monero, right?
18:44:16 <Iwjsks[m]> So if someone uses those tools they could theoretically trace Monero if those tools somehow outpace the development race 
18:45:10 <hyc> prob better to ask in #monero
18:45:16 <someoneelse49549> Iwjsks[m]: There is, atm, no proof or rumors of such tools existing. Multiple vulnerability exist in Monero but aren't exploited atm
18:45:54 <hyc> eh, if they were actual vulnerabilities they'd have been exploited by now
18:46:13 <hyc> there are some things that are non-optimal
18:47:05 <someoneelse49549> Sorry, for be more precise, there exist potential vulnerabilities that weaken Monero's privacy, but there is no existing tool that coordinates the use of these vulnerabilities to effectively de-anonymized Monero's transactions
18:47:06 <someoneelse49549> s/for/to/
19:16:28 <Iwjsks[m]> What about tools like 
19:17:22 <Iwjsks[m]> Chainalysis reactor, cyphetrace Monero Tracing, Monero Traceability Analysis, Monero Observer and XMRt?
19:42:13 <nikg83[m]> <Iwjsks[m]> "What about tools like..." <- Vapourware 
19:43:10 <Iwjsks[m]> Yes, but they really don't do anything? Why develop them then 
19:43:26 <Iwjsks[m]> They must at least in theory do something that makes it a bit more difficult for Monero, no?
19:44:41 <nikg83[m]> Iwjsks[m]: They are selling snake oil, anyways this is offtopic here go to #monero 
19:45:25 <Iwjsks[m]> Oh apologies , I found this on the website and thought it was the only channel 
22:19:22 <WantClue[m]> hey guys I hope someone can help me with my issue. I cloned the git repo and powered on the daemon with a pruned blockchain. Afterwards I importet my wallet and I setup the rpc wallet. But as soon as the rpc wallet is starting it prompts me with the error: THROW EXCEPTION: tool:error:no_connection_to_daemon.
22:19:22 <WantClue[m]> Is this normal or did I messed something up? at the start I did the make vor release version 0.18.2.2
