05:40:32 <DrNick2> Cool looks like my Monero is syncing now. I updated the flatpak and the errors are gone!
05:41:25 <DrNick2> Version number is the same, but flatpak reports is had an update. :-)
06:51:17 <leonardus> yeah, sounds like typical flatpak.

12:26:16 <emagex> is dero related to monero in any way?
12:37:53 <moneromooo> I think it's a monero fork or reimplementation from a while ago.
12:38:07 <moneromooo> Can't recall whether scammy or not.
13:15:47 <koniiiik> Hmm, got a question – what does the --trusted-daemon option do in monero-wallet-rpc? I can't find any clear explanation of that.
13:35:11 <moneromooo> It allows some stuff that leaks data to the daemon. Things like which outputs are yours, etc.
13:35:50 <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.
13:43:12 <emagex> 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."
13:45:36 <moneromooo> Then maybe it is not and I'm confusing with another name.
13:46:18 <selsta> emagex: they porter monero's codebase to golang
13:46:38 <selsta> some of their code even includes monero's comments 1:1
13:46:41 <selsta> ported*
13:46:41 <moneromooo> Ah, it's them. Then maybe they are dishonest then :)
13:46:59 <moneromooo> I guess that also answers "Can't recall whether scammy or not.".
13:47:18 <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
13:48:12 <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
13:48:41 <selsta> but I can't remember any details, you'll have to research it yourself
13:51:27 <emagex> can't be more scammy than solana.. and that didn't stop them from going to top 10 :P
13:52:04 <cheekyleeks> monero was once in top 10 marketcap. #6. so...
13:54:01 <emagex> the top 10 right now is a joke for the most part as far as I'm concerned
13:54:32 <cheekyleeks> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
14:07:06 <emagex> “the markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.”
14:09:33 <louipc> :)
16:39:49 <emagex> what's the recommendation when making a qr: just do the address, or prepend the address with 'monero:'?
16:49:47 <moneromooo> The latter.
16:50:25 <moneromooo> It'll allow whatever reads it to know it should run a monero wallet, if it has set this up earlier.

19:42:39 <DrNick2> Oops
19:46:20 <DrNick2> I'm at 84.7% synced. Won't be long now!
19:47:59 <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?
19:48:26 <DrNick2> At least it's going fast: `Downloading at 525 kB/s`
19:48:38 <DrNick2> (According to `sync_info`)
19:50:12 <moneromooo> If you want help, paste the errors you're getting to, eg, paste.debian.net.
19:59:49 <DrNick2> I notice that I'm not seeing new errors now and the sync is running quickly again. I've not changed anything else.
20:01:37 <Mochi101> Excellent
23:43:26 <DrNick2> 85.0%!
23:45:58 <DrNick2> Is the sync phase of the Bitcoin blockchain less secure? Or perhaps the Bitcoin network just has more nodes to sync from?
23:52:55 <merope> No, it's because verification requires more work for Monero
23:54:20 <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
