fsg: is 18081 a restricted rpc? why a nee one in parallel

new*

fsg: monerodocs.org/interacting/monerod-reference has a description for the --public-node option

selsta: I'm not sure, my wallet is using unrestricted so isn't it needed to performing non restricted tasks?

do most exchanges charge about the same for fiat purchases of monero?

also asked on stack exchange: monero.stackexchange.com/q/13443/14165 trying to find the "best" site to buy small amounts of monero on a regular basis

Does anyone know the default location of monero-wallet-gui in Linux?

i don't think there is one, it's wherever you chose to extract it?

that said, `locate` will find it quickly, if you have it installed, and if not, then `find` will find it slowly

foujnd it

Congratulations Infinity8, you're ready for your next Monero quest.

yeah trying to find my offfsite backup password lol

fsg: --public-node requires a restricted-rpc, correct

Is there a mining-related channel?

Alright thanks

Hello. Any suggestions for a mining hardware which could return money back within about 12 months?

well 12 months or less

electricity consume is not really a big concern as long as it is under 700W

It depends on your electricity cost, and if you're willing to resell that hardware at the end of the year

merope, I would like to continue using that hardware at the end of year, maybe for mining monero or something else like programming. Assume electricity is free in my location.

Damn, wish I could find one of these magical places with free electricity :/

Anyway, if you don't pay for electricity based on consumption, then you just have to look for hardware that can mine as much as it costs in a year or less

yeah but what hardware, I've been looking in xmrig.com/benchmark but still no luck

Your best bet is to find a good gpu to mine eth (either a vega56/64 or later, or a high-end nvidia that isn't kneecapped by their "anti-mining" drivers)

why not monero?

As for the cpu, you want a high-end ryzen 3000/5000 - but the profit margin is much lower on that

Because everyone and their dog is mining Monero, so the profit margin is much smaller

Note that the moneroocean.stream pool allows you to mine other coins (including eth) and get paid directly in xmr

assuming I want to just mine monero, your suggestion is going with ryzen 3000 or 5000?

Yes - but unless the price jumps up ~3x by the time you sell, you will not recover your costs within a year

Even with free electricity

Might even need more than 3x, depending on your actual total cost

A 3950X mining at 20 kH/s will get you 22.54 $/month at the current network hashrate and price

For comparison, a single well-tuned vega gpu mining eth at 50 MH/s will get you 81 $/month

You do the math

thanks for the hint

np

If you plane to keep using it, just buy Ryzen 5000 + NVIDIA 3000 computer and mine CPU and GPU on MoneroOcean for maximum profit

ROI time will still be more than 12 months

What's the eth hashrate on a high-end nvidia? Are they still kneecapped by the drivers?

3090's are not knecapped

is it ryzen 5000 or perhaps ryzen 7 5000 or something?

also for nvidia thing

3xxx/5xxx is the generation of the cpu, ryzen 3/5/7/9 is the "performance bracket" (low/mid/high/ultra-high end)

Note that for Monero mining, ryzen 3000 and 5000 cpus perform roughly the same model-for-model (eg. a 3900X is roughly the same as a 5900X)

interesting

dEBRUYNE: are you familiar with fixedfloat.com? are they recommended / do you often see complains?

asking because someone wants to add it to the website monero-project/monero-site #1910

fixedfloat is great. favorable exchange rates, and perhaps even more importantly, much lower minimums

hi

how do I delete a transaction from the monero gui wallet

there's an ugly failed transaction that stays always on top of the list

mawk: go to Settings -> Log, type `flush_txpool` in the command box at the bottom, press enter

Monero's doing one of its "rally when other cryptocurrencies are just kinda sitting" things.

ah nice ndorf thanks

the command box is greyed out tho

I use a remote node

I could run a pruned local node maybe, but I don't have a whole lot of space

and I don't want to leave it running 24/24 because it takes up all my cpu and makes my fan spin a lot

maybe the guy at node.moneroworld.com can type this command lol

mawk: FWIW, it should only use that much CPU while syncing/verifying. once it's synced it should use very little CPU.

but anyway, if you want to use a remote node, you pretty much have no choice but to wait until the tx drops out.

I tried a remote node on my own server but it has only a HDD so it was too slow

you could switch to a different remote node if it bothers you that much.

yeah I could try it locally indeed

but if the computer isn't running then I will have to catch up the tx that happened and that could take some time no?

yeah, HDD will bee quite slow indeed.

yes.

if it's only offline for a few days it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to catch up

last time I ran a local node on my laptop it hit a bad spot in the RAM and completely killed the filesystem; so at least monero helped me find out about the bad ram block and I blacklisted it, it should go smoothly if I try again hopefully

ah nice I thought it'd be longer

I'll try it then

either way though, you will want an SSD unless you don't mind waiting a lot.

yeah I have a SSD on the laptop

the code repo is quite fat

200MiB

really? i have 404MiB :P

after you've cloned the submodule maybe it gets bigger

you're right.
