10:43:35 <qay> Hi community could you give me some advise which hardware is at the moment the best for mining Monero
10:45:41 <qay> or what plattform is usefull
10:47:13 <sech1> Ryzen 9 3900X or 5900X, depending on which one you find cheaper
10:47:51 <sech1> and some 2x8GB 3600 MHz CL14 memory
11:05:02 <qay> ok cool thanks 
15:55:56 <Guest5555> hello
15:56:22 <Mochi101> hello
15:56:59 <Guest5555> i have server with 32core and nvme disk and 50mb download but blockchain is not going fast
15:57:09 <Guest5555> 95%
15:57:54 <Guest555556> smth like "Synced 2434126/2540692 (95%, 106566 left, 24% of total synced, estimated 2.4 days left"
15:58:20 <moneromooo> Ouch. This is much more than expected. Linux ?
15:58:42 <Guest555556> yes
15:59:18 <hyc> we're getting a bit more closer-to-mainstream attention https://twitter.com/SearchSecurity/status/1483535187971645449
15:59:22 <Guest555556> if do out_limit 99999 is better?
15:59:32 <moneromooo> Run "top", and paste the status line, the onestarting with "%Cpu(s)".
15:59:39 <moneromooo> The values might fluctuate, try to pick a representative one.
16:00:06 <moneromooo> It'll connect to more peers, but usually dl speed isn't the bottleneck.
16:00:37 <Guest555581> 28.8g   4.8g   2.9g S   3.4  30.4   2275:29 monerod
16:00:38 <moneromooo> You can check with "sync_info", the "mooo" line will tell you if it's blocked on network.
16:01:03 <moneromooo> That's not the right line.
16:01:10 <Guest555581> no block i checked
16:01:16 <Guest555581> just is very slow!
16:01:49 <Guest555581> if i download blockchain as file is better?
16:01:58 <moneromooo> No.
16:02:13 <moneromooo> What's the "mooo" line in sync_info ?
16:02:45 <Guest555581> when i did sync_info no moo line
16:02:48 <moneromooo> It'll have those chars: o, ., probably m, possibly _ and /.
16:02:53 <nioc> Doesn't a 32 core cpu still only use 1 core/thread to sync?
16:03:11 <Guest555581> 2cpu 16 x2 =32
16:03:12 <moneromooo> OK, paste the whole output of sync_info to paste.debian.net and paste the url here.
16:03:12 <hyc> no
16:03:33 <nioc> Mine only uses 1 core
16:04:12 <moneromooo> Transaction verification is somewhat multithreaded. PoW verification is totally multithreaded.
16:04:36 <moneromooo> Which might be counterproductive depending on your cache but hey,
16:05:32 <localmonero05> Revuo - Weekly Monero newsletter up on: localmonero.co/revuo
16:05:49 <Guest555581> --max-concurrency 30  this will  help?
16:06:02 <localmonero05> If you want to subscribe so you get notifications when a new issue is out, use this unofficial RSS feed: https://revuo.xmr.pm/feed.xml
16:06:04 <moneromooo> Probably not.
16:06:07 <localmonero05> New issues every Sunday.
16:08:23 <Guest555581> http://paste.debian.net/1227673/
16:09:27 <moneromooo> Well, there a clear mooo line, and it shows you've downloaded lots of blocks that are waiting to be verified.
16:09:33 <moneromooo> So your download speed's just fine.
16:09:46 <moneromooo> Get us the %Cpu line from top.
16:10:39 <Guest555581> 2169 root      20   0  127.7g   3.4g   2.9g S   8.7  21.9   9:27.48 monerod
16:11:03 <Guest555581> 22,23%  of all cores
16:11:29 <moneromooo> Oh, that reminds me. Someone had asked some days ago about very slow tx construction. I think it's probably DNS lookups. If you're around, try with --no-dns and see if that helps.
16:11:48 <moneromooo> Get us the <font size=+20>%Cpu</font> line from top.
16:12:42 <moneromooo> It's near the top of... top. Third line for me.
16:13:10 <Guest555581> no  such command
16:13:28 <Guest555581> maybe this "--disable-dns-checkpoints"
16:13:46 <moneromooo> That line wasn't for you, sorry to be confusing.
16:13:58 <Guest555581> ok
16:13:59 <moneromooo> Then again, maybe that's also your problem :)
16:14:05 <moneromooo> So try it, you're right.
16:14:15 <moneromooo> --no-dns was for a wallet issue.
16:14:24 <Guest555581> how to add for monerod
16:14:38 <moneromooo> Just --disable-dns-checkpoints at the end of the command line, as you said.
16:14:46 <Guest555581> ok
16:21:10 <Guest555581> nothing changed
20:50:05 <noperallels> hey can anyone here help with troubleshooting my monero node setup? Just trying to learn about it.. on my third attempt, i'm now only gaining 2% of the blockchain in the last 24 hours. currently at 87%. any idea why its taking so long? first couple tries didn't get this much downloaded before i screwed stuff up.
20:53:06 <moneromooo> Is the blockchain on a spinning disk ?
20:53:10 <Inge> noperallels: it is quite disk (random access) and cpu intensive
20:53:58 <noperallels> the first two attempts were on 256gb microSD. this third attempt is on a 2TB HDD
20:54:19 <moneromooo> I assume a spinning one. Move to a SSD then, it'll be *much* faster.
20:54:31 <moneromooo> Once synced, you can move back to the HDD.
20:54:36 <noperallels> it's an old CPU, but still only running 20%-30% mostly, with nothing much else running.
20:54:59 <moneromooo> CPU should not be too much of a problem compared to a spinning disk.
20:55:22 <moneromooo> Did you get a warning about this when monerod started ?
20:55:23 <noperallels> yeah it hasn't stopped spinning in the past week since i started trying this.
20:56:15 <noperallels> i don't recall.. i recall reading to expect days. the first 75% went in a day or two. but from 75-87 has now been about 3-4 days.
20:57:25 <noperallels> would a 256gb microSD on USB 3.0 be good enough?
20:57:46 <moneromooo> Probably not.
20:58:11 <moneromooo> I'm not familiar with seek times on these.
21:01:17 <noperallels> how about setting up the node on my windows laptop (with SSD) then copying the blockchain over to this linux machine with HDD and then running the node?
21:01:51 <Inge> That could work
21:02:38 <noperallels> i read up a bit about transferring the blockchain.. i tried taking 80GB data file and moving it from linux to windows machine but then it wouldn't load.
21:02:40 <moneromooo> (assuming same endianness, which is almost certainly the case)
21:02:54 <noperallels> brb
21:03:04 <moneromooo> You need to copy it whlie the daemon is stopped.  Might be that ?
21:22:52 <noperallels> i read about the endianness requirement but that went over my head and I didn't read up on that.
21:23:23 <noperallels> i might have copied while daemon running the first time, but certainly had it stopped the second time.
21:24:37 <noperallels> do i need to copy only the data.mdb file?
21:24:43 <moneromooo> Yes.
21:25:39 <noperallels> ok, i'll give that a go.. copy this 103gb 87% file over to windows laptop and see if it can finish it off then copy it back..
21:26:46 <noperallels> is it uncommon to run a full node? i looked at a map of active nodes and there's only 100 in all of canada..
21:28:10 <moneromooo> It is uncommon. Most people aren't computer literate. Among the computer literate, I expect most have not dabbled in cryptocurrency. Of those who have, most have probably used only bitcoin and scams. etc etc.
21:29:05 <moneromooo> A "map of active nodes" is going to be approximate at best though.
21:29:44 <noperallels> lol. i used to be computer literate, 20 years ago. around the last time i used linux and IRC. now i'm just windows literate. just wanted to put this old machine to some use and get back to using linux again..
21:31:07 <noperallels> will see how the node running goes.. going to leave this computer on as a home server and see if I care how much bandwidth and power it uses.
21:32:10 <noperallels> thx for the input, cheers
23:34:38 <garth> Hyc can you take a look at this and perhaps suggest why the Monero onion explorer is not building for RockPro64? https://github.com/moneroexamples/onion-monero-blockchain-explorer/issues/257
