is there a recent stagenet chain to be found somewhere other than syncing?
-
merope
You need to run your node with the --stagenet flag
-
ocb
yes im aware. was wondering if there is a compressed stagenet blockchain snapshot somewhere. syncing on rpi3 with 0.7mbps down connection will take long enough.
-
ocb
thanks anyways, will leave it running, says it will be done in 9 days.

I am poking around in the new Monero GUI (Linux AppImage) and the p2pool plugin. First time I tried to start mining it said it will download p2pool then force closed. Second time it worked and it seems to be mining but I noticed when I go to SETTINGS -> LOG and type in "status" it clearly says NOT MINING. Is that because I am in a pool and the monerod itself thinks its not mining because this is outsourced to p2pool plugin ?
-
XMRpeasant
The GUI shows the little mining pick. CPUs are pinned so I am definitely mining, just curious why the "status" says it is not and wanted to confirm my theory.
-
farzat
XMRpeasant: Yes that is the case
-
farzat
When you mine with p2pool, monerod has no idea what is happening and thinks that it is not mining
-
XMRpeasant
farzat: Awesome, thanks. It makes it easy to get started, I think this will be great for diversity
-
XMRpeasant
It didnt even ask me to specify a wallet or wallet address.
-
farzat
That too is handled by p2pool; monerod has literally no idea and doesn't care
-
farzat
I guess the gui handles that for you when it runs p2pool
-
farzat
But keep in mind that the main wallet address is visible when mining with p2pool
-
farzat
If you want to keep the fact that your wallet is mining a secret you should use a separate main wallet for that
-
farzat
I don't use the gui so I don't know how you can specify it
-
XMRpeasant
Thanks, just wanted to see what the UX is like.
-
XMRpeasant
onboarding is easy enough.
-
XMRpeasant
They did a good job there <3
-
merope
Or just use the main address for mining, and subaddresses for transacting with other people

the only thing that keeps me optimistic after looking at monero's price chart is that it can't drop below zero...
-
moneromooo
Actually... It happened for oil a few years back, so...
-
solominer
maybe it's time to invest in silver now
-
solominer
moneromooo: it's a bit different with oil anyways, because it seems like oil is not a limited resource. It is constantly being formed anew under the earth's crust, I've read.
-
moneromooo
It is definitely very limited.
-
moneromooo
At least on relevant timescales.
-
moneromooo
It is also not relevant AFAICT. The relevant part was the cost of owning (and storing) that oil.
-
moneromooo
So this doesn't really apply to monero, where you can just lose the monero by erasing your keys.
-
moneromooo
So I don't think monero can go to less than zero in practice.
-
solominer
by the way: how does monero compensate on this? (people losing their coins after time)
-
solominer
= impossible to spend them
-
moneromooo
At a systemic level, there is a block reward forever. At an individual level, you're SOL.
-
solominer
yeah i mean systematic. so this will effectively counter deflation, i see.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
