<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> Selsta I haven't been able to send any transaction on the monero GUI since yesterday. I really don't want to upgrade to the latest version. Am I screwed here?

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> I can't even order food because all of my transaction are getting faile due to not being able to change the fee amount.

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> I can't even order food because all of my transaction are too low fees and failing

why not change to advanced mode? then you can change the fee

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> how do i do this?

we will put out an update tomorrow or sunday that will fix the fee issue

i will give you instructions

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> ok

Open monero-gui, when it asks for your password click on cancel

then click on change wallet mode

advanced mode

then open your wallet

<c​:frei.chat> use xmr.stormycloud.org:18089

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> this will require me to download the blockchain though?

Settings -> Node -> Click on Remote node -> add the node above

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> ok

if that node doesn't work i will give you a different one

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> ok ill try

no, it does not require downloading the blockchain

<c​:frei.chat> 4kzkwyooeth3lxajxs7pmcriq6cgvnbex2vojum2uqflczsci4dlreyd.onion:18089

don't use the tor node since you need an extra program for it

<c​:frei.chat> this one works for me

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> do i need to have tor running to access this one?

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> im trying to connect to this one (xmr.stormycloud.org:18089) lets see if it works

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/cBfqRyHRRoZFCFelVUKAbTkn

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> doesnt look like its working so far

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> 01.its-a-node.org:18081

<c​:frei.chat> its synced

i was able to connect to that node

what happens when you click on it again?

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> don't you have to double click on the node after entering it?

<c​:frei.chat> Don't use untrusted nodes

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> ohhh ok my bad i didnt know u needed to click on it

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> ok im synced! nice

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> lets try to send something now

now you should do a transaction with fee normal

<c​:frei.chat> (xmr.stormycloud.org:18089) ?

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> yes

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> i tried sending a transaction with 5x fee lets see if it works

you only need normal fee (1x)

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> ok

to be included in the next block

<g​fdshygti53:monero.social> x1 should go in current block

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> do you recommend i stay using advanced mode even after the fix goes in ?

yes, you can add multiple good nodes and switch through if you have issues

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> alright, do you happen to know if these nodes are logging my ip address?

all nodes can log your ip

that's just how the internet works if you don't use a VPN or Tor

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> yeah, i know that, but i do know some of thse nodes claim they dont log anything

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> No log audit?

<c​:frei.chat> At least stormycloud.org is a org

<c​:frei.chat> They run I2P Outproxy's

<c​:frei.chat> and a Warrant Canary

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> im considering running my own local pruned node, how long will it take on macos m1 on version 18.0 ?

don't use v0.18.0.0

it is not optimized for m1

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> ok, well im already on it

use m1 version v0.18.3.2 which will release in the next days

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> ill keep using remote node then

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> ok it worked! my transaction finally confirmed w this remote node

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> thanks for the help selsta

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Run your own node

<c​:frei.chat> You need a 256GB SSD for that

better go with 512

<c​:frei.chat> 😟

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> yeah my macbook doesnt have that much storage

256 works but, you know, blockchain only grows

pruned nodes are only like 70 GB rn

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Cant always buy second hand compact and use that as remote node

if you do run your own node you ideally will want to run it 24/7 or close to it because it's pretty annoying to wait for it to catch up every time you open the wallet

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> whats currently going on in the xmr network tho?

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Can always*

<n​ot_thankful_for_today:matrix.org> is there a spam attack on the monero network? thats why blocks are full?

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Usuage

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Usage *

<c​:frei.chat> probably?

<c​:frei.chat> idk

seems like spam / attack but hard to be sure. almost certainly not a "natural" spike

<c​:frei.chat> At the end of the day, miners are getting paid and monero is being tested in a real attack scenario

I mean, not getting paid that much tbh

but yeah the fixes that come from this will be good

yes we found multiple bugs thanks to this

.merge+ 4283

Added

.merges

luigi1111w: sorry these too

k

you can also tag

.merge+ 4284

Added

merging 4284 isn't necessary before the tag because we don't have android release binaries but if you have enough time it doesn't hurt

so there's no repu for GUI repro build signatures is that right?

repo*

no

no there's not or no that's not right

sorry for asking in a confusing way

there is no repo for it

gotcha thanks

luigi1111w: going to sleep now, would be nice if you could tag today before going to sleep so that i can finish the release tomorrow

or alternatively tomorrow morning

luigiiii

.seen luigi1111w

dreaming about tagging release i bet

Oh

.merges

under budget and ahead of time

tag tag tag
