Cool looks like my Monero is syncing now. I updated the flatpak and the errors are gone!
-
DrNick2
Version number is the same, but flatpak reports is had an update. :-)
-
leonardus
yeah, sounds like typical flatpak.

is dero related to monero in any way?
-
moneromooo
I think it's a monero fork or reimplementation from a while ago.
-
moneromooo
Can't recall whether scammy or not.

Hmm, got a question – what does the --trusted-daemon option do in monero-wallet-rpc? I can't find any clear explanation of that.
-
moneromooo
It allows some stuff that leaks data to the daemon. Things like which outputs are yours, etc.
-
moneromooo
rescan_spent will ask the daemon whether a set of outputs are spent. This leaks your outputs. It won't do that on an untrusted daemon.

moneromooo: that's what I thought I had heard, but the website states: "DERO has been developed from scratch in Golang and is being actively developed by the original developers. It is not a fork of any other coin."
-
moneromooo
Then maybe it is not and I'm confusing with another name.
-

emagex: they porter monero's codebase to golang
-
selsta
some of their code even includes monero's comments 1:1
-
selsta
ported*
-
moneromooo
Ah, it's them. Then maybe they are dishonest then :)
-
moneromooo
I guess that also answers "Can't recall whether scammy or not.".
-
emagex
ah, okay. I mean, being a fork of monero would be a good thing in my book, so not sure why they're hiding it :P
-
selsta
dero is definitely shady in regards to premine and dev tax, if I remember correctly they didn't even offer open source code for a while
-
selsta
but I can't remember any details, you'll have to research it yourself
-
emagex
can't be more scammy than solana.. and that didn't stop them from going to top 10 :P
-
cheekyleeks
monero was once in top 10 marketcap. #6. so...
-
emagex
the top 10 right now is a joke for the most part as far as I'm concerned
-
cheekyleeks
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

what's the recommendation when making a qr: just do the address, or prepend the address with 'monero:'?
-
moneromooo
The latter.
-
moneromooo
It'll allow whatever reads it to know it should run a monero wallet, if it has set this up earlier.

Oops
-
DrNick2
I'm at 84.7% synced. Won't be long now!
-
DrNick2
I'm getting the errors again, I wonder if they are the result of something coming in from the peers I'm syncing from?
-
DrNick2
At least it's going fast: `Downloading at 525 kB/s`
-
DrNick2
(According to `sync_info`)
-
moneromooo
If you want help, paste the errors you're getting to, eg, paste.debian.net.
-
DrNick2
I notice that I'm not seeing new errors now and the sync is running quickly again. I've not changed anything else.
-
Mochi101
Excellent
-
DrNick2
85.0%!

Is the sync phase of the Bitcoin blockchain less secure? Or perhaps the Bitcoin network just has more nodes to sync from?
-
merope
No, it's because verification requires more work for Monero
-
merope
And it is heavily affected by your storage's random read speed. Syncing on an ssd will be waaay faster than on an hdd
