With the upcoming release, I want to help the network by bringing up a testnet node. What version of source should I compile for it? Just grab the latest commit on github master and try to keep it in more or less in sync?

this should be relevant (a docker script) reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/utzyyz…the_upcoming_monero_network_upgrade

Thanks!

I am specifically looking to build from source and deploy that way. From that link I found a prior reddit post that says "build the CLI from the main (master) branch of the repository", which is kind of what I figured but is good to know. Thanks again

Thank you for supporting the network!

anyone know if monero-lws fully implements openmonero api?

I thought I had it setup but when I try: curl -w "\n" -X POST 127.0.0.1:1984/get_version from openmonero docs I get:

curl: (52) Empty reply from server

monero lws implements the lws api... i dont know of an openmonero api spec anyway. i think it OM tries to impl the lws spec.

well lws has not much docs

but openmonero has this github.com/moneroexamples/openmonero#openmonero-json-rest-api

lws spec? it's fully documented

it's even in mainline monero

as for OM's api, oh.. well, it started from the lws spec

i have some expansions to the lws spec coming

if I look in docs here there is very little github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws

that is not the lws mainline spec

I saw vtnerd's repo recommended in recent reddit thread

look in monero project meta

.bbl

I think the lws API is limited to the light wallet functions

see how mymonero uses it

that is not the lws spec either

pls gib spec ser

nope

the lws isnt actually linited in that way

it has been expanded to hybrid mode

"the spec is the code"

but that work never saw the light of day for some reason

vdo that is foolish, sorry

read the quotes

huh?

note it's only the rest version

bbl / afk

thx

meowww

cat is here

is recommendation to use monero-lws in vtnerd_ repo or...

cause that is what I saw on reddit and that is top google result for "monero-lws"

or is openmonero recommended?

or something official from mymonero?

monero lws is as close to 'official' as we would make

it impls the spec and is written well

subaddrs are coming to it too

i am releasing an awesome client for lws too

i dont expect to support arbitrary other rest apis

how can i build monero-lws with debug symbols?

is there a quick parameter for that?

jwinterm have you read the 'performance' part of openmonero's readme (talks about the differences between MyMonero)

most importantly "no ongoing monitoring of user's transactions is happening, since user's viewkey is not stored"

i believe jberman and cryptogrampy helped set up a nice little docker container for monero-lws

PiNodeXMR also has some easy monero-lws setup if you happen to have a pi

plowsof[m] and endogenic thanks

MeowingCat: i think you may need to edit the cmakelists and add a compile time opt .. i'd have to check if it's exposed

endogenic, okiiii tyy

plowsof[m]: that also means the system cannot scan in the bg for you

if the impl does not store the sec v key

endogenic: is vtnerd the "as close to official" repo?

but w monero lws running yourself you dont need to worry about the view key being stored

yep, 'openmonero' is not really a lws

openmonero absolutely is a lws

lws literally means scanning and caching server

but it serves the same purpose as 'opening a monero gui wallet'

it's not just a daemon lol

plowsof[m]: huh? what does that even mean. lol

mobile keyboard messing up my punctuation

when i think of a 'lws' i think of always scanning in the bg with my key ( which would be worth the effort of setting up)

jwinterm: the mymonero partners sponsored and guided the dev of vt nerd's lws impl

the initial idea was PR to mainli e

line

oke

but that'd have required splitting the "monero" repo or adding lws as another official repo

and community couldnt come together at the time i guess

plowsof[m]: that's just one subtype of lws

lws basically means other service connects to daemon

maybe one day lws can take a daemon uri per wallet

that would be kinda dope

but very hard for lws servers w big userbases to keep up with

jwinterm: vtnerd is keeping the lws up to date w mainline

and the impl has gained adoption and contributors

i think that's a massive and underrated benefit

to sum a mymonero thing up.. would you say that it is a 'monero rpc wallet' running a view only wallet . and our wallet creates a signed transaction - which mymonero broadcasts to the network - and we also give it the key images to keep everything synced up?

i'm just saying yes it's virtually official

vis a vis the existing rest spec

plowsof[m]: the lws does not take the key imgs

interesting, i assumed it was like 'making an offline transaction / keeping the view only wallet synced up'

it is

but not what you said

XD

ees ok :)

how does it track balance if you restore a wallet where tx was broadcast outside of mymonero?

*hugs plowsof[m]*

thnxx ^_^

jwinterm: it is purely a monero scanner?

so mymonero does take key image, but monero-lws does not?

no

neither does

I guess I haven't thought about how mymonero really works

it's almost exactly like monero lws in implementation

but functionally

it is virtually exactly the same

bbl running :)

> the browser script also uses your spend key to find out which of the outputs received from the viewkey-identified outputs from the mymonero server are spent

oic

yes

i can show you in the client code

bbl :)

i remember a few months ago i experimented with 'downloading' a view only wallet file - into my hot wallet - and then 'uploading' it back to the view only wallet (locally on my homenetwork) ~ i forgot how far i got with that

vtnerd_, hiiiiiiiiiiii

plowsof[m]: that's for totally cold signing no?

lws clients are "hot" signers

well, currently
