ndorf: I thought light clients in monero were lighter than that (needing all blocks)

clients dont get the blocks.. only the server does

So how does the client hide which transactions he's after?

Or it just doesn't matter that the server knows since monero is more or less anonymous

correlating ips to transactions though seems like ewww though so was something done to obfuscate that? I feel like supposedly there was when remote nodes came out, maybe I'm mistaken

the server is a scanner that gets the viewkeys and scans on behalf of the user

so the idea is theyre trusted

and in return offer various benefits

not the same meaning as light wallet in bitcoin

Ah ok. So mobile wallets even in monero give up basically everything

no no

you can run your own light wallet server

or wait and stream and scan blocks which does suck in terms of experience a lot more

right, but actually I had trouble having monerujo connect to my onion, not sure if that's specific to monerujo but I was thinking, jeez as an alternative if I use one of their nodes I would dox my wallet addresses

DeanGuss: monerujo isn't a light client

though I didn't see what you wrote earlier

monerujo gets all the blocks client side from a remote node

using a remote node won't give up your wallet address but they can weaken your privacy in other ways

na not my "address" but you know, like my utxos

transactions associate with my wallet

s/associate/associated/

if you send a transaction they can link your txid with the IP address

wow so does monerujo get rid of the blocks it doesn't need then?

That seems like it could take a lot of storage

it gets rid of the block after scanning it

ah cool. lot of mobile bandwidth tho!

yes, alternatively a light wallet would help in that case

mymonero / monero-lws / ...

Ah interesting. Any idea if those allow you to plug in your own remote node for the lightwalleting?

yep with monero-lws you would be able to do that

sweet thanks yall

monero

Sorry I asked this earlier but missed the response: what are the consensus changes in the upcoming hardfork? Just ring size 16?

Bulletproofs+

also fee changes

And view tags

Monero gets more awesome.

Perfect thanks

Is view tags a consensus breaking rule?

yes continuous more awesome

view tags is wallet related so I assume not consensus

Yes it changes consensus, it adds one byte to the standard transaction format

ah

I find the best way to get a correct answer is to answer with ignorance

also I missed your original answer merope

thx

?

<merope> And view tags

Mochi103: whish I also gets more awesome :(

Wjat are view tags?

1 byte is not much data

it speeds up wallet sync

selsta: how?
