00:33:06 fsg: is 18081 a restricted rpc? why a nee one in parallel 00:33:12 new* 00:35:07 fsg: https://monerodocs.org/interacting/monerod-reference/ has a description for the --public-node option 02:14:18 selsta: I'm not sure, my wallet is using unrestricted so isn't it needed to performing non restricted tasks? 03:23:12 do most exchanges charge about the same for fiat purchases of monero? 03:42:30 also asked on stack exchange: https://monero.stackexchange.com/q/13443/14165 trying to find the "best" site to buy small amounts of monero on a regular basis 04:18:58 Does anyone know the default location of monero-wallet-gui in Linux? 04:24:44 i don't think there is one, it's wherever you chose to extract it? 04:24:57 that said, `locate` will find it quickly, if you have it installed, and if not, then `find` will find it slowly 04:30:29 foujnd it 04:33:33 Congratulations Infinity8, you're ready for your next Monero quest. 04:34:34 yeah trying to find my offfsite backup password lol 06:06:50 fsg: --public-node requires a restricted-rpc, correct 11:17:42 Is there a mining-related channel? 11:23:43 Shay_, #monero-pools 11:23:57 Alright thanks 12:19:40 Hello. Any suggestions for a mining hardware which could return money back within about 12 months? 12:20:07 well 12 months or less 12:21:30 electricity consume is not really a big concern as long as it is under 700W 12:24:54 It depends on your electricity cost, and if you're willing to resell that hardware at the end of the year 12:31:56 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. 12:33:01 Damn, wish I could find one of these magical places with free electricity :/ 12:33:51 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 12:34:40 yeah but what hardware, I've been looking in https://xmrig.com/benchmark but still no luck 12:35:01 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) 12:35:27 why not monero? 12:35:36 As for the cpu, you want a high-end ryzen 3000/5000 - but the profit margin is much lower on that 12:35:54 Because everyone and their dog is mining Monero, so the profit margin is much smaller 12:37:49 Note that the moneroocean.stream pool allows you to mine other coins (including eth) and get paid directly in xmr 12:38:39 assuming I want to just mine monero, your suggestion is going with ryzen 3000 or 5000? 12:40:08 Yes - but unless the price jumps up ~3x by the time you sell, you will not recover your costs within a year 12:40:13 Even with free electricity 12:40:42 Might even need more than 3x, depending on your actual total cost 12:41:44 A 3950X mining at 20 kH/s will get you 22.54 $/month at the current network hashrate and price 12:42:51 For comparison, a single well-tuned vega gpu mining eth at 50 MH/s will get you 81 $/month 12:43:34 You do the math 12:45:03 thanks for the hint 12:48:08 np 12:48:36 If you plane to keep using it, just buy Ryzen 5000 + NVIDIA 3000 computer and mine CPU and GPU on MoneroOcean for maximum profit 12:49:00 ROI time will still be more than 12 months 12:49:59 What's the eth hashrate on a high-end nvidia? Are they still kneecapped by the drivers? 12:51:46 3090's are not knecapped 12:53:41 is it ryzen 5000 or perhaps ryzen 7 5000 or something? 12:53:52 also for nvidia thing 13:15:55 3xxx/5xxx is the generation of the cpu, ryzen 3/5/7/9 is the "performance bracket" (low/mid/high/ultra-high end) 13:16:54 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) 13:49:42 interesting 16:44:28 dEBRUYNE: are you familiar with fixedfloat.com? are they recommended / do you often see complains? 16:46:07 asking because someone wants to add it to the website https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pull/1910 18:01:54 fixedfloat is great. favorable exchange rates, and perhaps even more importantly, much lower minimums 23:09:51 hi 23:09:58 how do I delete a transaction from the monero gui wallet 23:10:06 there's an ugly failed transaction that stays always on top of the list 23:18:41 mawk: go to Settings -> Log, type `flush_txpool` in the command box at the bottom, press enter 23:21:41 Monero's doing one of its "rally when other cryptocurrencies are just kinda sitting" things. 23:26:37 ah nice ndorf thanks 23:31:04 the command box is greyed out tho 23:31:11 I use a remote node 23:31:33 I could run a pruned local node maybe, but I don't have a whole lot of space 23:31:55 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 23:32:33 maybe the guy at node.moneroworld.com can type this command lol 23:35:10 mawk: FWIW, it should only use that much CPU while syncing/verifying. once it's synced it should use very little CPU. 23:35:33 but anyway, if you want to use a remote node, you pretty much have no choice but to wait until the tx drops out. 23:35:58 I tried a remote node on my own server but it has only a HDD so it was too slow 23:36:04 you could switch to a different remote node if it bothers you that much. 23:36:05 yeah I could try it locally indeed 23:36:22 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? 23:36:32 yeah, HDD will bee quite slow indeed. 23:36:44 yes. 23:37:53 if it's only offline for a few days it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to catch up 23:38:06 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 23:38:10 ah nice I thought it'd be longer 23:38:14 I'll try it then 23:38:43 either way though, you will want an SSD unless you don't mind waiting a lot. 23:39:01 yeah I have a SSD on the laptop 23:45:56 the code repo is quite fat 23:47:07 200MiB 23:53:18 really? i have 404MiB :P 23:53:40 after you've cloned the submodule maybe it gets bigger 23:54:36 you're right.
