03:34:33 Hey I have a question about Monero block verification, specifically about merkle roots 03:34:33 According to CryptoNote Standard 003 "CryptoNote Blockchain" the four parts of a block are the combined size o fthe header, merkle root hash, tx number, the block header itself, the merkle root hash, and the number of txs in the block 03:35:18 I've been looking around functions like handle_block_to_main_chain to find where the merkle root is calculated/verified and what functions are used to do so but I haven't been able to find it 06:27:58 spackle: ping 07:52:05 lakeviewapartments The functions to look at are get_tx_tree_hash and get_block_hashing_blob which calls it 08:06:15 Be aware monero.social have federation issues with matrix.org. Relaying response from sech1: 08:06:17 lakeviewapartments The functions to look at are get_tx_tree_hash and get_block_hashing_blob which calls it 09:43:17 big syncing issue with matrix.org these days 09:43:26 this time its matrix.org messages not coming in monero.social feed 10:20:14 Hey sech1 thanks for the pointers not sure how I even overlooked that, the crypto folder was very useful in looking in how its implemented in that regard 11:29:10 selsta: Cherry-picking #9342 did solve my debug build problems 11:41:01 Left a comment in the PR 13:08:28 I just finished my review of #8619, the wallet background sync PR for the master branch 13:10:09 There is the companion PR #8617 for the release branch. Now I am bit at a loss, as that probably also needs a review, how to do that in a sensible way? 13:15:39 I just open two browser tabs and switch between them to check that changed are exactly the same 13:15:50 *changes 13:18:04 jberman: if we merge 8619 to master, is there any compatibility issue that I have to be aware of? 18:07:19 It appears that --add-exclusive-node does not function as I expected. While running my private testnet (with a p2p port forwarded), it seems that a node that was not in my list of exclusive nodes was able to connect to me and force a reorg. Just wanted to share. 18:08:54 It is expected. It tells the node to only connect to that node (though maybe seed nodes can be connected to as well, not quite 100% sure). 18:12:33 I do not follow. A node I did not have as --add-exclusive-node was able to connect to me. 18:15:30 ah, I think I see what you mean. I guess 'exclusive' is not quite as exclusive as I expected. 18:41:06 spackle thats bad news I haven't checked my node but I expect the same result as yours 18:44:09 this command line switch is only for outgoing connections 18:44:19 if you don't want incoming connections from random nodes, don't open port 18080 18:44:42 or firewall it to only enable your list of exclusive nodes 18:44:57 indeed. I brought down the connection on port 29000, figuring that after the reorg'd we both need to reset before the test can continue. 18:45:25 sech1 got it, thanks. I'll look to using ufw for what I had in mind. 18:56:51 Good time friends. I opened the element today and the error of not connecting to the server was shown .Is the xmr.se server down? 18:56:53 Even when I try to enter https://xmr.se site, it gives me an error 18:56:55 Does anyone know what happened? 19:12:53 Or just tell it not to accept incoming connections (--in-peers 0).
