07:09:55 <parazyd> Hey, if doing merge-mining with Monero, should the salt in the RandomX implementation be changed or the same should be kept like Monero has?
07:12:56 <sech1> Merge mining means you compute exactly the same hashes as Monero (but you add some data to tx_extra of the coinbase transaction)
07:13:17 <parazyd> Gotcha, thanks
07:14:42 <parazyd> That tx_extra data is usually the coinbase hash of the other chain's block?
07:15:07 <parazyd> Or no actually, perhaps the header hash
07:19:39 <sech1> If you want to do it the right way, you have to add TX_EXTRA_MERGE_MINING_TAG (tag #3) which contains 32-byte merkle root hash
07:20:07 <sech1> Merkle root hash of all chains you're merge mining with this Monero block
07:20:27 <sech1> if it's only one chain, then it will be just that chain's hash
07:20:40 <parazyd> What's in that Merkle tree?
07:20:44 <sech1> By "hash" I mean whatever 32 bytes of data you get from that chain
07:20:49 <parazyd> aha
07:20:56 <sech1> Usually it's a hash of that chain's block
07:21:10 <sech1> Not a PoW hash, just a regular cryptographical hash
07:21:19 <parazyd> Yep, so like the header hash
07:21:53 <sech1> Then, you can prove to that chain that you mege mined by demonstrating that the coinbase tx has the merge mining tag with their hash
07:22:19 <sech1> Technically it should be merkle tree proof, but if it's only one chain it's just a direct comparison
07:22:38 <parazyd> *nod*
07:22:41 <parazyd> Thank you
07:23:54 <sech1> All this means you can't merge mine with some other coin unless that coin was specifically designed to be mege mined with Monero
07:24:14 <parazyd> Yeah
07:24:30 <parazyd> I've seen, for example, Tari has 2 kinds of mining
07:54:57 <parazyd> ugh it's very difficult to find resources on Google regarding mining lol
08:07:27 <sech1> It's not well documented, you have to dig a lot of source code to gain knowledge
08:09:09 <parazyd> Certainly seems so :)
09:01:07 <parazyd> sech1: Is there a spec for the JSON-RPC methods/API that xmrig uses somewhere?
09:01:46 <sech1> This one? https://www.getmonero.org/resources/developer-guides/daemon-rpc.html
09:02:30 <parazyd> The stuff it does with a pool/proxy
09:02:36 <parazyd> e.g. "login"
09:03:23 <parazyd> Is it just normal stratum?
09:08:36 <sech1> it's stratum
09:08:49 <parazyd> okay, ty :)
09:09:02 <sech1> and Monero pools use a bit different stratum compared to what you can find in google
09:09:14 <sech1> so just enable debug log in xmrig and watch what it sends and receives :D
09:11:07 <parazyd> sech1: Is that a build-time flag?
09:11:57 <sech1> it's for cmake
09:12:00 <sech1> -DWITH_DEBUG_LOG=ON
09:12:18 <parazyd> Alright, I just compiled it from gentoo portage so it wasn't there
09:12:52 <parazyd> Will do so now
09:13:37 <parazyd> ah this is nice!
17:49:05 <m-relay> <r​4v3r23:monero.social> does CLI wallet warn against high fees from malicious nodes?
17:49:07 <m-relay> <r​4v3r23:monero.social> or is that just GUI
17:54:44 <rbrunner> Don't think the CLI warns likewise.
17:59:07 <sech1> CLI always shows the fee and asks "Y/N" before sending the transaction
