  3 different people now reoported monerod crashing while mining on Windows, since we didn't update monerod I don't really know what's going on

  I'll check the error code from the screenshot. I think it's some 3rd party software or win11 itself interfering

  That last post is interesting. Could be a locking bug (ie, unlock without a lock). If Windows has a strace equivalent, that could give a helpful log.

  Or generic error causing a "free" type call for something that never got allocated due to early error out from the main code.

  Log level 2 might show if the mining code bumps into any error path.

  Maybe one is faulty since they're seldom tested much.

  Or it might be a race condition in the mining code. Maybe older Windows versions (and Windows 11 up until recently) didn't care, but now they crash

  Ah, there was a locking rewrite in rx-slow-hash.c some months ago.

  Hey, I just remembered that, no idea if it's the reason :D
• 15:28

  All locks in rx-slow-hash are statically allocated though

  FWIW I don't have this patch in TF (it conflicted with my own changes too much). If someone gets the crash and can run both.

  Though strace or similar would likely be my first choice to try out.

  I don't have any node on Windows right now to test it. Having a callstack would be nice.

  I can ask them to run an old version before the change

  Make sure firewall is letting RPC through, use the right port, try get_info if the port is using restricted rpc.

  Try loopback first, then other ifs. Simplest cases first.

  <r​ootkit.lol:matrix.org> I used it in the past and it used do say something after "starting wallet", but now it just hangs there but actually doing the requests seems to work fine
