Do we have something to run a heavy-benchmark? I was thinking about a benchmark that would create N wallets (hundrads), generate M addresses for each wallet (thousands), and run T transactions (millions). All on a single machine, and on --regtest.

tests/functional_tests

moneromooo: I did take a look at it. But didn't appear to me they are putting as much as pressure. For example look at this: github.com/monero-project/monero/bl…tests/functional_tests/speed.py#L74

and it is a single wallet. I might be missing something though since today was a first time I was playing with functional_tests

You are meant to add the tests you want :)

But these drive many monerod and monero-wallet-rpc. That's what you asked. Add a dos.py file, and do what you want

This one is much better: github.com/monero-project/monero/bl…sts/transactions_flow_test.cpp#L168 But I can do better. We can do (N * M * T)

s/I/we/

I will work on something like that. Will send PR in few days.

<e​mpowerelixir:matrix.org> hi everyone, i've been trying to sync testnet to the cli wallet, but it never starts, any idea why?

<e​mpowerelixir:matrix.org> running on linux mint

<e​mpowerelixir:matrix.org> is it possible that there just aren't any peers?

If you run the "status" command, what does it return?

<e​mpowerelixir:matrix.org> height 1/1 (100%) on testnet, not mining net hash 0 H/s, v1, 0(out)+0(in) connections

<e​mpowerelixir:matrix.org> tried running overnight, no change

<e​mpowerelixir:matrix.org> oops just realized that wasn't a reply to me lol

It probably was. Testnet seems healthy, seednodes are up: tools.rino.io/xmr-seed-nodes/testnet

I would guess your OS simply, or your router, or whatever, simply does not allow monerod to reach out

<e​mpowerelixir:matrix.org> hmmm

<d​etherminal:matrix.org> Who hosts the seednodes?

I have one.

Pretty sure pony, binaryfate and gingeropolous have one of those too.

The git log should tell you more.

Plowsof can tell you

He has a script that checks em too

A smiley face for everyone running a seed node github.com/plowsof/check-monero-seed-nodes

But yes, the git log

Jeffro256/selsta/lza_menace off the top of my head (me too)

<j​effro256:monero.social> I don't run a seed nose

<p​reland:matrix.org> Potentially dumb question: just how many things would break if the block difficulty and the tail emission were cut in half?

<p​reland:matrix.org> In theory, this would also cut confirmation times in half, but at what cost? I’m aware that would increase the rate of blockchain size growth, though I don’t know by how much. I’m also not sure what the security implications of it would be (I guess it would be easier to 51%)

<d​etherminal:matrix.org> it would potentially increase fees
