15:42:07 <rbrunner> I proudly present what is probably the first fiction short story about RandomX: https://rbrunner7.github.io/numerator.html
16:02:53 <hyc> cool!
16:08:11 <merope> Nice! :D
16:08:37 <merope> Wait - is that why my computer constantly leaks memory? D:
16:15:37 <hyc> lol. that one was way out there
16:19:40 <hyc> of course, any new instructions added to RandomX wouldn't be secret, anyone could see what they are
17:44:43 <sech1> hyc are you still running Monero node on your phone? I bought a new phone with 6 GB RAM, want to try to run monerod + p2pool on it
17:45:25 <hyc> yeah. with 4GB RAM it tends to get killed by OOM killer
17:45:49 <w[m]> I am, 3gb ram
17:45:51 <moneromooo> My node is running on a VM with 3 GB RAM. Currently uses ~1.1 GB of it.
17:46:04 <moneromooo> No incoming on that one though.
17:46:37 <hyc> must be the dumb games I play on the phone that push everything else out
17:46:53 <sech1> any special steps to compile monerod in termux?
17:47:02 <hyc> nope
17:47:11 <hyc> just install the build dependencies
17:47:15 <w[m]> It doesnt compile for me ^
17:47:28 <sech1> and I probably need to just copy the blockchain from my notebook instead of syncing it on the phone :D
17:47:38 <hyc> that's best, yeah
17:48:10 <hyc> but there's not much need to compile on the phone, since we've got the gitian built android binaries
17:48:20 <w[m]> Not sure why, but I can compile inside of Ubuntu on termux
17:48:20 <w[m]> Binaries compiled from pc run fine for me
17:48:20 <w[m]> I use
17:48:20 <w[m]> https://github.com/CryptoGrampy/android-termux-monero-node
17:49:02 <hyc> termux gives you clang, even if you ask for gcc, btw
17:49:43 <sech1> right, there are official android binaries. Still need to compile p2pool
17:50:19 <hyc> yeah, had a problem with one of the hardware libraries, iirc
17:50:23 <w[m]> Have auto instructions for p2pool as welk
17:50:23 <w[m]> I was unable to build p2 inside of termux directly as well
17:51:31 <sech1> I'll probably have to compile libuv and libzmq too
17:52:00 <w[m]> https://github.com/nahuhh/android-termux-monero-node/releases
17:52:00 * w[m] uploaded an image: (78KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/monero.social/CkaAIbNWLeSwVzKJdwPJrolW/Image_105.jpg >
17:58:13 <w[m]> s/can/cant**/
17:58:31 <w[m]> * I can** compile
18:37:12 <sech1> well, p2pool doesn't work in termux... Needs fixing
18:38:57 <hyc> oh? what broke?
18:40:41 <sech1> getaddrinfo
18:40:54 <sech1> and a few quirks with compilation
18:41:12 <sech1> pthread_cancel not found, for example
18:45:07 <w[m]> If you get android binaries for androidarmv8 , can you share compilation instructions? (Would be nice to run directly in termux/ not rely on Ubuntu in termux )
18:46:55 <hyc> hmm. I can't find my android build tree now
18:47:07 <hyc> might have blown it away in a termux upgrade
18:50:16 <sech1> no idea what's wrong with getaddrinfo there: https://imgur.com/a/zZUgoiE
18:50:45 <sech1> p2pool.io works fine, but seeds-mini.p2pool.io returns "Invalid value for ai_flags"
18:52:34 <hyc> libuv and libzmq are p2pool submodules but cmake doesn't see them. ??
18:54:03 <sech1> libuv/libzmq submodules are used for static binary compilation, you can used default termux packages instead
18:54:12 <hyc> ah ok
18:58:47 <sech1> it seems termux doesn't support AI_V4MAPPED flag for getaddrinfo
18:59:48 <hyc> you have ipv6?
19:00:22 <hyc> getaddrinfo should be in android bionic, not a termux lib
19:01:54 <sech1> I don't have ipv6
19:02:00 <sech1> everything works without this flag
19:02:13 <sech1> now to figure out why pthread_cancel is not found during compilation
19:03:08 <hyc> doesn't exist in bionic
19:04:56 <hyc> can you use pthread_kill instead?
19:06:18 <sech1> I'm not sure if it's even needed anymore
19:06:53 <sech1> because "exit" console command worked fine without it
19:17:01 <w[m]> sech1: 
19:17:01 <w[m]> Are you running the binaries without ubuntu? Or did you compile? (If so, how 🙃)
19:17:26 <sech1> without ubuntu
19:17:27 <hyc> yeah compiled fine for me with pthread_cancel commented out
19:17:55 <sech1> I'll push the fixes soon so it will compile without problems with simple git clone/cmake/make
19:18:12 <hyc> prob need to do a static build tho, so it doesn't need libuv.so and libzmq.so
19:21:29 <sech1> it's not fully static build, it just links libuv and libzmq statically
19:42:21 <thomasb06> Hello. Monerod says the blockchain is synced. Then I ran monero-wallet-cli, but it seems the computer is very quiet to mine
19:43:32 <moneromooo> Do you mean "it is so quite than I am not quite sure it's quite mining" ?
19:43:42 <moneromooo> s/quite/quiet/
19:44:07 <moneromooo> If so, check top, at least one core should be at 100% usage.
19:44:17 <moneromooo> (for the mining process)
19:44:45 <moneromooo> Quite possibly your computer is quite good at quiet air circulation.
19:45:29 <moneromooo> You can also break into the process with gdb to double check it's running pow hashes.
19:46:00 <moneromooo> (gdb /path/to/binary pid-of-process, thread apply all bt, look for randomx functions)
19:47:58 <thomasb06> ah, top. Let me check
19:48:58 <thomasb06> monerod is consuming more cpu
19:50:13 <thomasb06> gdb is to run in parallel, right?
19:53:47 <thomasb06> gdb has started and shows a prompt
19:57:18 <thomasb06> the cpu is far from 100%
19:58:29 <thomasb06> maybe I need to say start-mining to monero-wallet-cli?
19:58:50 <merope> start-mining in the wallet actually just starts the miner inside monerod
19:59:51 <thomasb06> so start-mining from monerod?
19:59:54 <merope> You can check your mining status with the `status` command. The last part of the string will tell you either "(not mining" or "mining at xxx H/s", or something like that
20:00:36 <merope> anyway, if you want to mine you should not be using monerod directly
20:01:03 <moneromooo> I often shy away from the "did you press the button" comment as it's usually "duh, of course" :D
20:01:37 <merope> You should use xmrig and point it directly to your node's rpc port (for solo mining - not recommended), or run xmrig+p2pool for the best mining setup
20:02:30 <thomasb06> mining at 0 H/s
20:03:10 <thomasb06> so next step is to run xmrig and p2pool then, the wallet is just to know my balance
20:04:45 <merope> yup
20:04:56 <thomasb06> this must be the place: https://xmrig.com/docs/miner
20:05:12 <merope> yep
20:05:24 <thomasb06> do I need to stop monerod or the wallet?
20:06:29 <thomasb06> xmrig seems to download the blockchain
20:08:03 <moneromooo> Weird. Trojan maybe. Or you renamed stuff and make a mistake ?
20:09:02 <thomasb06> mistook with monerod...
20:09:08 <thomasb06> sorry
20:09:20 <merope> No, you need to keep running the node at the same time
20:09:26 <thomasb06> checksums are correct
20:09:47 <thomasb06> ok, then I keep monerod and the wallet
20:16:16 <thomasb06> instead of `./monerod --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 --disable-dns-checkpoints --enable-dns-blocklist`, can I add zmq-pub=tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 in my config file?
20:17:19 <thomasb06> and `disable-dns-checkpoints=1`
20:22:37 <thomasb06> some hosts are blocked, nothing wrong?
20:32:45 <thomasb06> p2pool has started
20:32:56 <thomasb06> next xmrig
20:34:40 <thomasb06> do I need to change the page size before?
20:36:50 <moneromooo> Page size or number of huge pages ?
20:37:22 <moneromooo> The former, no, I think you need to rebuild the kernel for that. The latter, yes. You need a bit of more than 2 GB per mining thread IIRC.
20:38:10 <moneromooo> Page size bump doesn't have much impact on performance IIRC. Use what your kernel is configured for (2 MB is likely I think). 
20:38:52 <moneromooo> For number of huge pages, twiddle nr_hugepages in /sys/class/vm or similar.
20:38:52 <thomasb06> huge pages, sorry. What I did was to start monerod, then the wallet, then p2pool, then change the huge pages, then start xmrig
20:39:31 <moneromooo> er, /proc/sys/vm
20:40:25 <moneromooo> I'd expect that to be in a xmrig README. Assuming you read it, try grepping again.
20:40:25 <thomasb06> the command was `sudo sysctl vm.nr_hugepages=3072`
20:40:38 <thomasb06> right
20:41:14 <thomasb06> Readme says the same
20:43:41 <thomasb06> the logs say "RandomX_Hasher couldn't allocate RandomX dataset using large pages"
20:44:12 <thomasb06> Maybe I should stop xmrig and p2pool and restart them
20:44:40 <moneromooo> Check whether you have enough free RAM for those huge pages to fit.
20:45:06 <moneromooo> ie, 6 GB (or 3 GB, can't recall whether huge pages are 2 MB or 1 MB usually).
20:45:40 <moneromooo> Or if you have 1 GB, the other possibility, but that's unlikely.
20:46:12 <thomasb06> the ram is 32G
20:47:03 <thomasb06> monerod says not mining...
20:48:54 <thomasb06> p2pool has warnings: "P2Pool submit_block (external blob): daemon returned error: unknown error"
20:49:18 <moneromooo> You can probably get more info with log level 1 in monerod.
20:49:35 <thomasb06> let me check
20:51:53 <thomasb06> can I stop monerod while p2pool and xmrig are running?
20:52:42 <moneromooo> yes
20:53:03 <thomasb06> the log level is not an option anyway?
20:53:09 <moneromooo> set_log 1
20:53:17 <thomasb06> it's a command, ok
20:53:19 <moneromooo> (or --log-level 1 on startup)
20:53:59 <thomasb06> it's in the config
20:54:49 <thomasb06> monerod is supposed to say "mining at xxx H/s"?
20:55:09 <moneromooo> If you run mining_status, yes.
20:55:20 <moneromooo> And you are mining.
20:56:31 <thomasb06> "Not currently mining"
20:56:47 <thomasb06> Well, it's late already
20:56:53 <thomasb06> see you tomorrow
20:57:21 <moneromooo> I assume you did ask it to start mining... :)
20:57:57 <thomasb06> to monerod? No indeed
20:58:04 <thomasb06> let me check
20:58:51 <thomasb06> "Mining at 0 H/s with 1 thread"
20:59:18 <thomasb06> "Mining at 85 H/s with 1 thread"
21:00:42 <thomasb06> Anyway... Enough mining for today
21:00:47 <thomasb06> Good night
21:00:50 <thomasb06> ;p
21:01:02 <moneromooo> gn
21:01:56 <merope> If you are mining through xmrig/p2pool, then monerod will not see that as active mining
21:02:21 <merope> Or rather: the mining_status command only refers to the internal miner. It is not aware of other external programs mining
21:03:14 <thomasb06> merope tomorrow, I'll redo everything. Surely I missed something
21:03:17 <thomasb06> cheers
21:03:37 <merope> alright, have a good night
21:04:11 * thomasb06 Zzzz $$$$$ Zzzz $$$$$
21:39:14 <hinto[m]> is it ok to shill my project
21:39:30 <hinto[m]> it was kinda meant for this situation thomasb06 
21:41:31 <hinto[m]> think hes gone tho
21:42:10 <moneromooo> I'd say if it's relevant, sure. Just keep it... non spammy.
21:42:37 <moneromooo> Which, since you asked, you're likely to anyway. But yes, wait for them to be back I guess.
21:43:07 <moneromooo> Assuming it's free/open. If it's download my binary.... no.
22:01:35 <hinto[m]> had i joined earlier, there wouldn't have had to been a 1-on-1 troubleshooting with moo session :)
22:01:59 <hinto[m]> guess i'll wait for him to come back
