hi. trying to run gpg --keyid-format long --with-fingerprint binaryfate.asc i get 'gpg: WARNING: no command supplied. Trying to guess what you mean ...'

then i get the 3 lines as in the guide 'Verify Signing Key'

chomwitt: you can ignore that

ok. another question,, why do i need monero-linux-x64-v0.15.0.1.tar.bz2 ?

i though that i download the gui only (for my linux) and verify it's hash

you don't need that file

it's an example

ok

the hash of the downloaded file matches the downloaded signed hashes.txt

good

so i guess the base of trust at this point is that the webpage i see is the rigth one and the fingerprint that i see on it is also the correct one.

usually i get gpg signatures from 2 different places example monero project site and moneroproject github from two different networks, ie a vps and local isp. when its important, better be sure.

but having the right gpg key imported in your gnupg chain and verifying with it every time in future is enough

ocb thanks for the tip!

so should i choose advanced mode and download the chain? how big it is?

so for the first time just make sure all data is correct, specially the gnupg key because that's your point of verification for future releases

at the moment the chain is ~140 GB if i am not mistaken

pruned is 35-40GB or so

if you do not have enough bandwidth or speed, you can always use remote rpc nodes for syncing only the relevant information but in case you create a new wallet - you will have to resync again. its not 140-150 GB though, but it will take a few hours.

by gnupg key you mean the pub key of the project?

yes

i think i got that. i downloaded it and checked that it's fingerprint matches the one i see in the webpage

Key fingerprint = 81AC 591F E9C4 B65C 5806 AFC3 F0AF 4D46 2A0B DF92

full node is 117G at the moment, checked one of mine. it is nicer to have a full node if you can afford it - based on hardware, disk space, uplink bandwidth and speed, and help others to sync :)

that's copy paste from my terminal

the fingerprint you pasted corresponds with mine, so you're good

will i have a hdd with 200GB space

i guess i can select the destination drive ?

you can 'select' the destination drive in monerod.conf

i think - not sure about this

selsta knows better for sure

data-dir=

i choosed Advanced mode, now i create my wallet

i wonder if wallet location is related to chain location...

its been a while but wallet location should be set in monero-wallet-rpc.conf i believe with wallet-file=

chomwitt: it's unrelated

when starting the daemon it will ask you for blockchain location

i wonder if i could choose an external usb storage...

its 2T

i read about the pruned chain

having a pruned i need smaller space but i get all the future txs?

chomwitt: pruned will need only 40gb

with pruned node you are removing ring signatures but preserving all transactions

for ever?

there won't be any noticeable difference between pruned and unpruned

no, but it will also grow slower

3x slower growth

so i guess for a newbie it should be better choice

the gui repots different free GB from my 'df' on some partitions

how much different

ok, that is a small nuance propably having to do with how a partition of another hdd is mound under the tree of my system hdd

ok

wallet created and 'Starting the node' - 'Sunchronizing' . Hello monero!!

now i should buy some monero !

:P

ty my naked friends

I will now use my monero wallet

been running 3 full xmr nodes for 4 years now. never cared about the amount of people connecting. but would like to know if its used (other than with tcpdump). is it possible to know how many real monero clients are connecting to my open remote rpcs?

chomwitt: if it's an external hard drive make sure to not unplug it during sync

otherwise the blockchain might get corrupted

selsta, thanks for the worning, i choosed pruned chain in a internal hdd

freaking mail2tor is down?

:)

every ten minutes it ask me for my password . does syncing stops if i dont give it?

chomwitt: no, syncing doesn't stop

you can change auto lock in Settings -> interface

ok

have you tried to analyse own text to see if for example  Mendenhall’s Characteristic Curves of Composition claims are true?

everyone is busy? hehe

or no one analysed their own text yet :D

monero wallet how I can change settings to enter higher digits floats?
