Hi all, I know SSD is recommended over HDD for syncing blockchain, but what about SSD via USB?
-
littlebo1eep
also on motherboards with only USB 2.0
-
littlebo1eep
is this problematic or?
-
plowsof[m]
yes, depending on your OS you can run some read/write speed tests on the drive when its connected, im guessing you will have terrible speeds (probably slower than a fast HDD)

moneromooo
You can try #monero-otc, not sure if that still exists.
-
moneromooo
Or localmonero might help.
-
moneromooo
(a website that hosts p2p offers)
-
chirp042
man #monero-otc is as quiet as a graveyard
-
chirp042
or y'all don't want to sell me some muhnero
-
chirp042
trustlessly
-
moneromooo
Well, trustlessly would involve atomic swaps. I'm not sure they're usable just yet.
-
chirp042
ok
-
chirp042
how about non trustless methods
-
littlebobeep
sorry can anyone explain about my question about syncing blockchain on SSD via USB 2.0, is this good random write compared to HDD
-
moneromooo
Find some disk read/write performance checker and try it with random access rw (this is what monero needs).
-
moneromooo
-
littlebobeep
Hummmm but I don't have the hardware available
-
littlebobeep
I don't understand why that person had 407G of writes when the blockchain is only like 120G

inlight
hi hihi hihihihiih
-
inlight
hi
-
moneromooo
Oh I kow that. It's Morse code.
-
inlight
Lol
-
inlight
do you know me
-
moneromooo
Yes, Mr Morse.
-
inlight
:)
-
inlight
do you use monero?
-
inlight
for what purpose
-
moneromooo
I like privacy, so I decline to answer the first question.
-
inlight
you are wrong
-
inlight
monero provides privacy,
-
moneromooo
About 50% of the time.
-
inlight
for what purpose
-
inlight
which market
-
moneromooo
To fit in.
-
moneromooo
If I'm never wrong, people notice.
-
inlight
i see
-
inlight
we need to create more monero market
-
inlight
do you host any service
-
moneromooo
I like privacy, so I decline to answer the first question.
-
moneromooo
s/fir/la/
-
moneromooo
In fact, all questions. As a point of principle ^_^
-
inlight
idiot
-
moneromooo
About 50% of the time.
-
inlight
are you a bot
-
moneromooo
About 50% of the time.
-
inlight
.
-
inlight
hi Epsilon
-
inlight
welcome to #monero
-
inlight
how can we help you ?
-
moneromooo
Sorry mate, just winding you up. I'm done now.
-
» moneromooo feeling guilty now
-
rbrunner
Yeah, seems you scared them away ... :)
-
apotheon
Inge: moneromooo is not a bot
-
apotheon
oops
-
apotheon
I meant inlight.
-
apotheon
Inge: sorry
-
user85
is this channel active?
-
moneromooo
Yes.
-
moneromooo
This is for help with Monero, and general monero discussion. Also privacy related discussion etc.
-
user85
with monero cli what's the easiest way to run it via tor from a start - simply create custom conf file and point daemon to it from a start?
-
user85
and at this stage how many gb is monero blockchain
-
moneromooo
There's a bit in the README about this IIRC.
-
moneromooo
I think about 130 GB or so ? Roughly. More like 40 GB is pruned.
-
user85
ok
-
user85
pruned might be better then
-
user85
setup here no inbound connections from other nodes, outbound via tor
-
user85
something like ./monerod --tx-proxy "tx-proxy=tor,127.0.0.1:9050,16
-
user85
nah I gotta use torsocks to receive blocks via tor too
-
user85
:)
-
user85
in fact hey i will be downloading only :)
-
moneromooo
Oh, I thought you meant monero-wallet-cli with monero cli. FWIW monerod works with with whonix, nothig special to do.
-
user85
i might in fact simply connect to some public blockchain node
-
user85
instead of hosting a blockchain locally
-
moneromooo
...which will lie to you...
-
moneromooo
(maybe)
-
user85
nah
-
moneromooo
Yes, most just spy, not lie outright.
-
moneromooo
Though some do.
-
user85
any nodes that relayes data can spy :)
-
user85
I am sleepy however I do not see any extra risks with using external node
-
user85
assosiated with
-
user85
moneromooo: plus using tor to connect to libera and using same exit node to connect to remote node allows some correlation
-
user85
libera insists on initial clearnet nick registration before connection via tor
-
tinybronca[m]
user85: you can use matrix haha
-
mpldr
i just started mining on my phone just to see what kind of hashrate i get an immediately got a share. nice.
-
moneromooo
p2pool ?
-
mpldr
yup
-
moneromooo
Congrats :)
-
mpldr
thanks, i wont continue on my phone though :) its laughable
-
mpldr
even with tweaking I dont get it to go over 500H/s
-
user85
pretty solid
-
user85
you can supplement your income by using monero in a different way /ways
-
mpldr
honestly, I shouldve run a miner on my work computer before I moved to permanent work from home. had a pretty beefy boy
-
tinybronca[m]
user85: not by mining on a smartphone haha
-
mpldr
by mining on a smartphone you can tank your phones performance amd warm the battery a bit
-
mpldr
might be a good hand warmer in winter though
-
mpldr
actually, that idea isnt too bad. i always have cold hands
-
user85
do you guys use telegram?
-
user85
telegram over tor seems pretty secure - however given it's size I would be surprised if they haven't slided some vulns
-
mpldr
telegram is a joke privacy wise…
-
mpldr
unless you start secret chats they can read all your messages
-
tinybronca[m]
mpldr: yeah well you are using a protocol with absolutely no e2ee support
-
user85
that is their official howto
-
mpldr
tinybronca[m]: at least on IRC i dont do anything that requires E2EE. private chats are something that in my opinion should be encrypted
-
mpldr
i use IRC just because its the easiest way to get high quality answer for tech related questions
-
mpldr
tinybronca[m]: apparently there is a proposal to add encryption support.
ircv3/ircv3-ideas #29
-
mpldr
quite a funny idea
-
user85
tinybronca[m]: well apart of using secret chats - it seems telegram is closing more and more group chats
-
user85
some are re open
-
user85
irc encryption exist
-
Torr
user85: Yup, with OTR for example.
-
plowsof[m]
Pidgin + OTR <3
-
tinybronca[m]
<Torr> "user85: Yup, with OTR for..." <- I never found Pidgin users to do that with
