06:54:46 <apotheon> Monerotopia was a blast.
06:55:08 <apotheon> 10/10, would buy again
11:33:03 <selsta> gingeropolous: should we close this issue? https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/2204
13:22:21 <gingeropolous> selsta, closed.
13:27:57 <gingeropolous> though i still think option 6c would be cool
13:33:36 <selsta> what do you define as the "header chain"?
13:36:36 <gingeropolous> its like the bitcoin concept.... basically, as i understand it, you get the header information for the blocks. in the header is the hash of the last block. so its like a hash chain
13:36:53 <gingeropolous> so you don't verify all the transactions, you just verify that the hashchain checks out.
13:37:44 <selsta> does that work in monero?
13:38:04 <gingeropolous> and you reach a "level of trust" by gathering hash chains from multiple peers. it puts faith in the actual chain of blocks, as opposed to verifying individual transactions
13:38:25 <gingeropolous> i thought it did, last I dove into block header construction etc. because in each header is a hash of all the transactions of that block
13:40:06 <gingeropolous> and the hash of the last block
13:40:11 <gingeropolous> and other fun stuff
13:45:43 <gingeropolous> i mean, i think one could even get all of the blockchain data, and then do the hash checks without verifying all the signatures
13:46:03 <gingeropolous> then this level of sync would only be limited by how fast you can download the blocckchain and the hash function
13:46:56 <gingeropolous> instead of verifying each transaction with all those db lookups etc. but again, its probably something a core implementation shouldn't do because its not a fully verified chain
13:47:42 <gingeropolous> but again, this option does create another user that has downloaded all of the monero blockchain
13:47:58 <gingeropolous> "its monero, the friendly botnet" :)
13:51:16 <gingeropolous> my 5400 rpm scrap sync status: 2022-04-08 13:50:21.159 I Synced 2462272/2597429 (94%, 135157 left)
13:56:29 <selsta> the last sync checkpoints are from December
13:57:13 <gingeropolous> that'll do it
13:58:49 <gingeropolous> i guess the hash chain would be considered maybe an integrity check. like, you download the "file" (the blockchain), and check that it matches the consensus for integrity. and once you have it, you could launch on the "validity" process.
13:59:44 <gingeropolous> ok this is distracting :)
22:27:14 <millican> xmrig proxy is only for windows?
22:28:55 <merope> no
22:32:09 <millican> oh there it is, i entered "xmrig.com/proxy" instead of "xmrig.com/download/proxy"
22:32:20 <millican> thanks merope 
22:32:39 <merope> you're welcome
22:57:31 <qwestion> Heres a hard problem: how to earn money/get hired while keeping pseudonymous or anonymous?
22:58:50 <qwestion> Are there too few ppl hiring like this, vs ppl who want to be hired like this?
23:12:08 <cornfeedhobo> qwestion: there isn't much work that fits into that category. most remote work involves handling intellectual property, and that requires trust
23:22:32 <qwestion> fair pt
