@rucknium:monero.social: some of these api set Valid = 0 for blocks recently mined. My code checks for that and ignores blocks not set "valid" or orphaned

I am now mapping that to a new field on CSV

so all will be added, but it doesn't mean that they are orphaned or not. note the blocks won't get fetched again so "valid" state won't get cleared, but should be perfectly fine for you

pushed changes now

<r​ucknium:monero.social> DataHoarder: Fantastic. Thank you! I hope the new version will fix the issues.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Your new version is running now on moneroconsensus.info :)

nice, 3469273 orphaned block is correctly attributed to hashvault now

would it be possible to keep the elected chain in the same side instead of swapping side to side?

the orphans could appear on both sides fine, or one only if there's just one

<r​ucknium:monero.social> I know it doesn't look great. With the current graphing method, if I kept the main chain on one side, it would veer off toward the edge of the plot. They have to alternatiev between left and right (and I had to write some ugly code to accomplish that, after sort of reverse-engineering how the plotting algorithm works).

<r​ucknium:monero.social> It's plotting a tree graph: r.igraph.org/reference/layout_as_tree.html#ref-examples

<r​ucknium:monero.social> I will try to improve it once I get to other priorities.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> On the bright side, the plotting algorithm "should" smoothly handle multiple sub-chains on different alt-chains. But, hopefully things don't get that crazy.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Thanks for the feedback.

yeah, multiple chains will look nice :)

<r​ucknium:monero.social> "This mushroom cloud looks very pretty."

well before we didn't have googles

at least now won't get blinded instantly

<r​ucknium:monero.social> This visualizer could also be useful for the next stressnet. In the last stressnet, we did have many alt-chains because syncing wasn't working properly.

I'm just impressed at you running websockets over R of all things

<r​ucknium:monero.social> I don't do any of the websockets stuff manually. It's all Shiny translating my R code into JavaScript and web piping.

using a "library" counts :)

also note, p2pool will not list orphaned blocks, I don't have an endpoint that lists these currently

maybe I should update current one to allow for that

I think it would look the best if the current longest chain was always a vertical chain of blocks on the left, and all alternative chains would just branch off to the right

yeah that's more or less what I suggested

p2pool.io/api/pool/blocks lists all blocks found by p2pool, even if they were orphaned later

*p2pool main

but you get the idea

but because the render is a tree, it veers

yeah I offer the same endpoint too sech1 p2pool.observer/api/pool/blocks

but the db query doesn't include those

I can update this one freely I guess, and just add an optional parameter for the observer specific one

actually, it doesn't have it ready in the table view, but if my query is correct there are 706 orphaned blocks (for any reason) in main

too expensive to expose in a query currently as it scans the entire block table

mini has 99 orphans tracked

706 blocks out of 60362 p2pool-main blocks so far?

1.17% orphan rate, interesting

p2pool is efficient at broadcasting blocks, but it can't help if someone is mining through tor of from Australia, for example

<p​yxmr2025:mozilla.org> Damn it, damn Qubic!I think he's running out of money.

sech1: a lot are from when a big miner was behind in monerod blocks and time

so they just produced garbage stuff

ahhh, and the recent orphan rate?

how recent, pick a monero height

Like the last 10000 blocks

From 3459797 until now

8 orphans

there were lemme see

out of how many p2pool blocks?

380

without including alternates

2%

mini one orphan

Must be some big miners using tor, or just their rigs are with high ping (botnets?)

out of

21

hmm

worse than I expected

too low sample size here

I have metrics on miner of the blocks

but also when they were broadcasted and from which peer at that time, not in db

4/8 are from a specific miner, sech1

miner alias: p2pool

:D

Not surprising :D

here's the 8 privatebin.net/?c5f66a24c4a6c8b8#HX…ks9KaLGDnzaHUP1zeX3o6yuBdoDxmFjGQY9

btw, it should be 388

I did not include orphans in that number

still 2%

hi

what is better MONERO ANTMINER X5 - 212 khs or (8 X  Intel Xeon E7-8880 v4 ) on a lenovo x3950 x6 with 512 gb ram

Xeon.

Antminer will get you 0.

It was maybe ok back in the day, but it doesn't mine current monero.

and is at least 2X the price of lenovo

It is worth 0 nowadays.

wow why?

Because it does *not* mine the current monero PoW algorithm.

AFAIK it's an old thing that mined some verison of Cryptonight. Modern Monero uses Randomx.

The x5 was a recent thing, for Monero if you can believe it

Well, maybe not worth 0, it might be able to mine non monero coins that use that CN variant, I dunno if there are any.

Oh, am I wrong ?

My apologies then.

Sech1 shown that the hardware was being 'tested' for 1-2 years before dumping them on the public to buy

i dont s any other coin

Iirc there was a hardfork to reduce their efficiency?

the guy that sell that is a scammer?

2400 euro

Well, it appears I am confusing it for another earlier "ASIC" so maybe not :)

MONERO ANTMINER X5 - 212 khs

this is the ad title

moneromooo: from what I remember it's some custom hardware with ARM CPUs

Which wasn't bricked ?

the  lenovo x3950  with 8 xeon and 512gb ram is 1000 on ebay

Several risc5 cpus on several boards in a box

Well, guess it cant be bricked per se if you can control what software runs on it...

sech1 can clarify -hopefully - iirc the ram setup was such that it could be or was bricked / made less efficient than normal cpus but i cant find the details :(

the  lenovo x3950  with 8 xeon and 512gb ram is 1000 euro on ebay so much cheaper

I don't remember, but I think they used one stick of RAM per CPU

8 GB RAM per CPU, so if we increase dataset size to 8+ GB, they will be bricked. But it's easy to fix for them, of course

Thank you

how to increase dataset size?

you can't

dataset size is a constant for the current RandomX algorithm

compile with new size?

mine size...

i havent any link until now that check in depth monero ROI

return on investiment

think of it more of buying monero with power+cpu costs, anonymously
