20:30:00 <chomwitt> 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 ...'
20:31:34 <chomwitt> then i get the 3 lines as in the guide 'Verify Signing Key'
20:42:48 <selsta> chomwitt: you can ignore that
20:44:03 <chomwitt> ok. another question,, why do i need  monero-linux-x64-v0.15.0.1.tar.bz2 ?
20:44:46 <chomwitt> i though that i download the gui only (for my linux) and verify it's hash
20:46:03 <selsta> you don't need that file
20:46:07 <selsta> it's an example
20:47:47 <chomwitt> ok
20:49:17 <chomwitt> the hash of the downloaded file matches the downloaded signed hashes.txt
20:51:30 <selsta> good
20:53:37 <chomwitt> 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.
20:55:05 <ocb> 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.
20:56:01 <ocb> but having the right gpg key imported in your gnupg chain and verifying with it every time in future is enough
20:56:04 <chomwitt> ocb thanks for the tip!
20:57:34 <chomwitt> so should i choose advanced mode and download the chain? how big it is?
20:57:35 <ocb> 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
20:57:49 <ocb> at the moment the chain is ~140 GB if i am not mistaken
20:58:29 <selsta> pruned is 35-40GB or so
20:58:34 <ocb> 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.
20:58:42 <chomwitt> by gnupg key you mean the pub key of the project?
20:58:52 <ocb> yes
21:00:23 <chomwitt> i think i got that. i downloaded it and checked that it's fingerprint matches the one i see in the webpage
21:01:04 <chomwitt> Key fingerprint = 81AC 591F E9C4 B65C 5806  AFC3 F0AF 4D46 2A0B DF92
21:01:19 <ocb> 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 :)
21:01:22 <chomwitt> that's copy paste from my terminal
21:02:20 <ocb> the fingerprint you pasted corresponds with mine, so you're good
21:02:34 <chomwitt> will i have a hdd with 200GB space
21:03:22 <chomwitt> i guess i can select the destination drive ?
21:03:56 <ocb> you can 'select' the destination drive in monerod.conf 
21:04:16 <ocb> i think - not sure about this
21:04:31 <ocb> selsta knows better for sure
21:04:58 <selsta> data-dir=
21:05:22 <chomwitt> i choosed Advanced mode, now i create my wallet
21:05:56 <chomwitt> i wonder if wallet location is related to chain location...
21:07:39 <ocb> its been a while but wallet location should be set in monero-wallet-rpc.conf i believe with wallet-file=
21:09:10 <selsta> chomwitt: it's unrelated
21:09:30 <selsta> when starting the daemon it will ask you for blockchain location
21:16:32 <chomwitt> i wonder if i could choose an external usb storage...
21:16:43 <chomwitt> its 2T
21:27:52 <chomwitt> i read about the pruned chain
21:32:10 <chomwitt> having a pruned i need smaller space but i get all the future txs?
21:32:48 <selsta> chomwitt: pruned will need only 40gb
21:33:00 <ocb> with pruned node you are removing ring signatures but preserving all transactions
21:33:05 <chomwitt> for ever?
21:33:05 <selsta> there won't be any noticeable difference between pruned and unpruned
21:33:14 <selsta> no, but it will also grow slower
21:33:23 <selsta> 3x slower growth
21:34:02 <chomwitt> so i guess for a newbie it should be better choice
21:34:50 <chomwitt> the gui repots different free GB from my 'df' on some partitions
21:37:14 <ocb> how much different
21:38:13 <chomwitt> 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
21:38:55 <chomwitt> ok
21:39:57 <chomwitt> wallet created and 'Starting the node' - 'Sunchronizing' . Hello monero!!
21:41:36 <chomwitt> now i should buy some monero !
21:45:08 <Guest39> :P
21:45:15 <Guest39> ty my naked friends
21:45:21 <Guest39> I will now use my monero wallet
21:45:32 <ocb> 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?
21:47:33 <selsta> chomwitt: if it's an external hard drive make sure to not unplug it during sync
21:47:42 <selsta> otherwise the blockchain might get corrupted
21:48:48 <chomwitt> selsta, thanks for the worning, i choosed pruned chain in a internal hdd
21:53:36 <Guest39> freaking mail2tor is down?
21:53:37 <Guest39> :)
22:00:53 <chomwitt> every ten minutes it ask me for my password . does syncing stops if i dont give it?
22:03:33 <selsta> chomwitt: no, syncing doesn't stop
22:03:41 <selsta> you can change auto lock in Settings -> interface
22:06:05 <chomwitt> ok

22:21:29 <Guest39> have you tried to analyse own text to see if for example  Mendenhall’s Characteristic Curves of Composition claims are true?
22:24:37 <Guest39> everyone is busy? hehe
22:43:13 <selsta> or no one analysed their own text yet :D
23:36:16 <Guest39> monero wallet how I can change settings to enter higher digits floats?
23:36:22 <Guest39> like 0,3435466787675643
