monerod stagenet not syncing nearly 4hours
-
NakedKing
am i only one who getting this problem?
-
NakedKing
Sometimes sync is starting but host is directly blocking. Prompt: Host 18.194.***.** blocked.

Are you using a recent build ? Like, a couple weeks old at most or so ? It might have forked.
-
moneromooo
(not sure it has yet, but it's possible)

Good morning, I just synced all the Daemons on a new install of GUI but the Advanced setting tab is not visible. What can I do?
-
merope
When you start the gui, you need to pick "advanced mode" instead of simple/intermediate
-
merope
There's an option to switch somewhere, in the settings I think?
-
stradi
Found it!, The wallet had to be closed first in Settings to change the wallet mode :) Thank you.
-
merope
You're welcome!

Hi guys. I have a doubt. I have a pruned node which i made public in my linux box with the following options: --rpc-restricted-bind-ip 192.168.1.22 --rpc-restricted-bind-port 18081 --rpc-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --rpc-bind-port 18081 --confirm-external-bind --public-node --detach. I opened the ports 18080 and 18081 in my firewall and router and I can access it from the outside. So my question is, what is
-
maledict1um
the use of the 18089 port? Should I also port forward this one also?
-
merope
The restricted rpc port must be different from the unrestricted one
-
merope
The convention is to use 18081 for unrestricted, and 18089 for restricted
-
merope
And never expose the unrestricted to the internet
-
merope
Only expose the unrestricted (18089)
-
merope
(Expose == port forward on the router)
-
maledict1um
merope: Thanks for your reply. So, I am doing it wrong?
-
maledict1um
If I understand correctly I should not expose the 18081
-
merope
Just change the port in --rpc-restricted-bind-port to 18089 and you should be fine
-
moneromooo
Correct.
-
merope
(And change the router's port forwarding settings accordingly)
-
merope
moneromooo: does monerod even start if you specify the same port number for both restricted and unrestricted?
-
maledict1um
ok. Thanks guys!
-
merope
Or does it start anyway, but with only one of the two options active?
-
sech1
technically, it should be possible to bind same port seprately on two different IPs
-
merope
Oh right, I forgot that the bind does not include localhost
-
merope
So the parameters were technically correct, albeit non-conventional
-
merope
sech1: is there a way to identify the mining pool from the mining blob received by xmrig?
-
merope
Or at least, tell if two blobs belong to the same pool (assuming same height)
-
sech1
not with 100% certainty
-
sech1
the only thing you can compare is the block template timestamp (assuming same height)
-
sech1
but even two nodes in the same pool can have different timestamps
-
moneromooo
IIRC at least one includes (or included) advertisement in their template...
-
sech1
in tx extra? It's not visible in xmrig's blob
-
moneromooo
So if you don't care about impersonation, you could tell this one.
-
moneromooo
Oh.
-
sech1
the blob only has merkle hash instead of full block template
-
sech1
of course there's also metadata, like when you receive the blob with millisecond precision - you can then compare when other pools sent their blobs (these times differ quite a lot, sometimes up to a second)
-
sech1
oh right, there's also transaction count visible in xmrig
-
sech1
but it's the same most of the time across different pools
-
merope
Ok, interesting
-
merope
I'm trying to tell if the Unmineable pool is just a proxy for Minexmr
-
merope
Because their claimed "average time between rewards" quoted figure would only make sense if they owned 40% of the nethash - which is what Minexmr does
-
sech1
then you need to connect to a specific minexmr node and compare blob receive times and number of transactions
-
sech1
xmrig shows both in the log
-
sech1
just run two xmrig windows side by side
-
merope
Same thing for their kawpow pool, which I suspect to be a proxy for 2miners
-
merope
(But their eth and etc pools don't seem to follow this pattern)
-
sech1
minexmr has many nodes, check them one by one
-
merope
I guess I should expect a small but consistent delay between the minexmr template and the unmineable template (ie unmineable's ping distance from minexmr), and unmineable to never preceed minexmr
-
sech1
yes
-
merope
Got it, thanks

Trail of Bits does a deep dive into mainstream blockchain adoption and discovers widespread vulnerabilities:

-
sech1
merope the delay method can be unreliable if you and unmineable use different minexmr nodes, or if unmineable chooses a random one for you every time
-
merope
But it should be consistent within mining sessions, assuming the node doesn't change halfway on either side
-
sech1
I think transaction count is more reliable. If you get the same number in each blob from both, you can be sure it's the same node
-
merope
Oh right, because I could have two different offsets between two different minexmr nodes
