04:39:26 <Lendri> Does a local node have to totally resyncronize every time I turn my computer on? I keep shutting off my pc before the sync is done, and then it starts all over again
04:50:06 <Mochi101> Lendri, no... type exit in the console to exit gracefully and it will save all the data that it has.
04:50:51 <Mochi101> IF you just shut off your computer before it syncs it may not have saved to disk and it'll be resyncing from scratch.
04:53:43 <farzat> Ctrl-C also works if you can't be bothered to type exit
05:02:35 <Lendri> Lol yeah I have been clicking the x in the top right of the gui
05:03:10 <Lendri> Also thank god, cause this syncing is taking forever
05:03:20 <Lendri> Not turning my pc off this time
07:57:20 <fibonacci12358> Is this channel in use for anymore?
08:00:45 <moneromooo> Yes, for monero related things.
08:01:47 <moneromooo> Mostly "how do I do this with monero", "why is monero not working", and general monero chat.
08:02:49 <fibonacci12358> ok cool
15:17:13 <Lendri> So what got yall into monero
15:28:40 <gingeropolous> honestly, looking for something to stress-test my overclocked core2duo back in 2014 :)
15:44:30 <moneromooo> Deciding to look at Bitcoin at last. Finding out it's not private. Looking for somehting better. Finding references to Dark wallet. Find Darkcoin and not realizing it's a different thing. Working out it's not the same thing at all actually. Finding Monero, and comparing the two. Thinking I had finally found what I had been looking for.
15:44:50 <moneromooo> Then, thinking I really should have looked at Bitcoin earlier :D
16:09:59 <plowsof[m]> mtgox / life happened (recently found out i got an NFT for it woohoo) , then i returned and bought the top last year and now *checks notes* i am financially ruined, but i have no regrets <3 
19:04:08 <hyc> when bitcoin came out, I think I had just gotten into ARM Linux hacking, so that's where my attn was at the time
19:04:43 <hyc> I wrote a video driver for AlwaysInnovating touchbook
19:05:13 <hyc> and was hacking on android
22:45:02 <Lendri> Noice
22:45:28 <Lendri> For me I was reading the hitchhikers guide to privacy and it kept getting mentioned
23:34:19 <Epsilon> I thought the logo and colour scheme was cool :P
