07:34:51 yes but its consistent and ive never seen this before 14:25:59 Tried a different node? 16:16:44 I have seen the same issue with lost connection to node when creating tx 16:27:35 I'm currently running spammer on a couple testnets and only see this issue if the node has >100 connections and has not modified their parameters 16:28:39 --rpc-max-connections 1000 --rpc-max-connections-per-{private|public}-ip 1000 = no problems. If using well known public nodes, they are often overloaded 16:29:04 I saw it on a local node with 1 connection, had to retry tx creation sometimes 16:29:12 only saw it with monero-wallet-cli 16:31:11 another situation where i can get wallet-cli to complain about no connection to daemon, is during sweeps etc that take too long 16:31:44 https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/10032 16:32:28 10s of minutes might be more than necessary tk reproduce, but was what i was dealing with at the time 22:09:21 only on v0.18.4 or before? 22:29:18 the decoy selection code goes like: 1.get output distribution. 2. sample possible outputs according to this distribution 3. check that that the outputs are unlocked by fetching them from the node. In step 2 it will oversample. one comment says 1.5x + 75 but the comment seems outdated. it seemed more like 1.5x + 1 22:29:38 still if it has to do this sequentially for lots of outputs there will be a lot of back and forth 22:30:32 would make sense to sample lots of decoys for all the outputs and then ask for them in one api call 22:31:25 (rewriting the monero-oxide dsa currently to oversample as well so I am familiar with this code) 22:35:48 there are sanity checks on the node response to detect it is not sending bogus data to obtain information about the real spend. 22:37:35 retrying with a malicious node could lead to the real spend getting revealed. Thats why oversampling happens. 22:40:03 question is if its worth it to adapt this as we move to fcmp. is it a problem or only an inconvenience? 23:59:45 My observations were using fcmp
