shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes or so even if clean

maybe it hits the limit of how long you can be desync'd and get dropped from peers

backup the peer list and fully remove it, let it rebuild it

dunno. it's been doing add_block: xxx" the whole time

cache is also only saved up after a full resync

what are you up to?

working down to mainchain 3030856

3031154

side height 6279370

that's about 9 hours ago

3h more to go :D

ugh

10h 30m mini.p2pool.observer/share/6279370

how far back is it going to go? 12 hours?

about so, two PPLNS windows + slightly extra

I should maybe make a "download compressed cache" feature on observer :D

heh

client will still verify blocks there

well, 12 hours back should overlap with when it was last online

there is this tool but it just uses the API git.gammaspectra.live/P2Pool/p2pool…master/cmd/apitocache/apitocache.go

also it's mini, which has larger blocks

many miner outputs, specially in first download

ah, done.

sheesh

just over an hour

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> how is it if using --nocache ?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> (im probably misremembering the flag)

probably about the same time as they had to download all the new blocks

it just doesn't lookup the cache at all (or saves them

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Maybe just bad peers / slow download? 45mins sounds long

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Sounds like 40mins longer than id think sounded normal (acceptable?)

5Mbits and will get bad peers probably that way

it's somewhat latency sensitive for roundtrips too

afaik latest changes should have improved that

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Ah, 5mbit not mb

hyc maybe you caught some very slow peer who also didn't tell you about other peers... You need to check who you're connected to using "peers" command

or are you syncing it on a potato SBC?

immediate restart should sync fast because it will just load everything from the cache

syncing it on an rk3588 with 32GB RAM, it's a fairly decent mini pc

if restart with cache enabled is still very slow, I'd like to see log level 6 log of that

ok I'll try restarting it now

rk3588 has aes, right?

yep

seems to be going a lot faster now. it's with no-randomx, so keeping monerod 100% busy

and I see a lot of "using cached block" msgs flying by

done

about 5 minutes, yeah

so it was probably a slow peer. P2Pool tries to choose a peer with the lowest ping, but if this peer turns out to be slow, it's just a bad luck

ok. never happened before

I actually run p2pool without the cache, and it always restarts quickly

so never happened to me too

as a matter of fact, I remember seeing a message about too slow ping time on that startup

I assumed it was complaining just because the 4G connection has generally slow pings\

5Mbit on 4G? You live in the boonies hyc?

yep

I lived in bumfuck Bavaria for a year and had miserable speeds on mobile and cable and swore to never live in rural Europe ever again lol.

the gigabit fiber has been working fine for like 2 years.

only died on me once before, when someone ran their digger thru the line

I wish. Fiber is so sparse in America. Cable isn't bad though I get 250 down 50 up.

"Business class" b/c wifey and I work remote.

hyc running with --no-randomx also adds your node ping time to each block's sync time. So if it complained about "too slow ping", it could've been your node

<c​hch3003:monero.social> Hello! Trying to mine on my Macbook M1 Max with P2pool Mini from official GUI but it crashes directly with "Timed out, local node is not responding after 120 seconds. Please check your wallet and daemon log for errors. You can also try to start monerod manually. Exiting p2pool. Please check that port 18083 is available." Any idea what I can do?

It's something with your Monero node. It's better to ask in #monero-gui
