hey yall
-
varbles
been a long time since I've been on irc
-
varbles
i'm having a problem trying to set up a pruned monero node on my raspberry pi 4
-
varbles
its syncing at a reasonable rate when saving on the root microsd card, but syncing extremely slow when saving to an external ssd
-
varbles
like 30k blocks an hour sdcard vs 1k blocks an hour ssd
-
varbles
i'm using a monerod docker image though, is that a mistake?
-
grumblemobile
I doubt docker is involved in the performance degradation here, but there's a good way to find out for sure.
-
grumblemobile
Raspberry pi is known for shitty I/O anyway.
-
grumblemobile
You could try finding some I/O benchmarking tool, check what sd and ssd can do (iotop) then compare with what iotop says when syncing, see if it's wildly off.
-
grumblemobile
monerod will random read back a lot.
-
grumblemobile
You can also set the db settings, lemme go find a source...
-
varbles
its definitely choking on the io somehow
-
grumblemobile
-
varbles
iostat says its usually doing less than 100 read and write/s when syncing but its always waiting
-
varbles
i get great speeds off this drive with samba normally
-
varbles
trying db mode now
-
varbles
i havent tried it on anything but =safe or =fast so far
-
varbles
wow
-
varbles
it's working
-
varbles
writing 5MB/s now
-
varbles
about the same sync rate i was getting before
-
varbles
5.0 days left, a lot better than 5.0 months it was giving me before
-
varbles
thanks! :)

Hi guys, is 7KH/s a decent rate for mining monero?
-
grumblemobile
Yes. No. Maybe.
-
grumblemobile
Is getting $50 a year in interest a decent rate for your bank account ?
-
grumblemobile
Yes. No. Maybe. Depends on how much you have on it.
-
maledictium
Well, I can squeeze much more from tgis i7 12th gen but then I also need the pc for other stuff :)
-
maledictium
It's not a dedicated setup
-
maledictium
But yeah, if it's about 50$ a year sounds a bit poor, unless monero goes up like crazy
-

Good Morning all, Would any of you guys have a handy walk through(either video or web page) that could walk a newb like myself purchasing Monero anonymously using "Bisq"?
-
Dereturn
I made a 9 USD TX and it took like 4 to 5 mins to create the TX and it had 50 inputs. Is this behavior normal?
-
Dereturn
I had to babysit my HD wallet do it wouldn't timeout
-
selsta
do you do mining?
-
selsta
and which node did you use?
-
Dereturn
the one on Get Monero
-
Dereturn
I suspended my mining for this
-
Dereturn
I used the GUI wallet
-
selsta
which wallet mode?
-
Dereturn
Advanced Mode
-
selsta
which node?
-
Dereturn
Mondeod from the Monero github
-
selsta
ok, so you are running your own local node and you didn't connect to a remote node?
-
selsta
guess that makes sense if you are mining
-
Dereturn
yes, my own local node. no remote
-
selsta
do you have the blockchain stored on hdd or sdd? and which OS are you using?
-
sech1
4-5 minutes is not normal, I've created transactions with 190 inputs in 5-10 seconds
-
Dereturn
ssd
-
selsta
do you use a ledger / trezor?
-
Dereturn
Ledger, Latest software for device and app
-
selsta
ok that's the issue
-
Dereturn
Ledger having an ongoing issue with Monero
-
selsta
they have a super slow chip inside
-
Dereturn
??
-
selsta
it's not an issue, it's just a limitation of the hardware wallet
-
selsta
they don't have a fast cpu like a normal laptop / pc would have
-
Dereturn
So is it a good idea to extend or just remove the timeout function. Is that even possible?
-
selsta
might make more sense to mine into an intermediary wallet and then consolidate the inputs onto the ledger
-
selsta
what timeout exists currently? i remember removing it years ago
-
Dereturn
not sure but it felt like 1 min
-
Dereturn
what about the Model T from Trezor? is their CPU any better?
-
selsta
I don't know
-
Dereturn
Well, Thank you for the reality check. I thought I was goin crazy.
-
selsta
Ledger Nano S Plus should also have a faster chip compared to the normal Nano S. Now how much difference this makes in real life, no idea.
-
grumblemobile
IIRC the trezor CPU is substantially more beefy than Ledger.
-
grumblemobile
Though of course it depends on exact models.
-
Mochi101
Wen can we start mining XMR on Trezor?
-
Dereturn
guumblemobile. What about the Model T vs Model X?
-
grumblemobile
Not ther foggiest. The trezor website might know.
-
Dereturn
from Trezor and Ledger respectful
-
selsta
Model X does not exist
-
Dereturn
the Nano X
-
selsta
quite sure that's just with added bluetooth compared to nano s plus
-
Dereturn
yeah, I got my Nano X before the s plus was a thing
-
selsta
do you use the Nano S or X now?
-
Dereturn
X, not sure if the S is a good enough investment
-
selsta
ok, then there is no point in upgrading for you
-
selsta
S Plus seems similar to X CPU wise, the normal S is slower
-
Dereturn
are there any other HW wallets that support Monero v16?
-
Dereturn
on the market
-
selsta
there won't be a hardware wallet with a desktop like cpu
-
dsc_
hold my beer
-
selsta
you can either mine into an intermediary wallet, or consolidate your inputs from time to time, even if this means waiting a bit
-
selsta
with shielded zcash transactions it's not even possible to construct a transaction on hardware wallets from what i know, so i'm happy that it only becomes a problem with lots of inputs in monero
-
Dereturn
I might just stop mining for a bit. energy costs are rising and it is starting becoming too much of a cost for even a small profit
-
Dereturn
is it a good idea to consolidate all my inputs in to just one or 2?
-
Dereturn
meaning, oesprivacy get weeker if there are less inputs?
-
Dereturn
or because of ring sigs that is not a problem?
-
selsta
I think as long as you only consolidate mining inputs it should be fine.
-
selsta
maybe someone else can explain
-
grumblemobile
If I were in this situation, I'd just bag them all at once. The pool knows they're all to the same address anyway.
-
selsta
Dereturn: do you do p2pool mining?
-
grumblemobile
This is my gut feeling though, not a considered evidence based decision.
-
Dereturn
yes, I do p2pool mining. How did you do the green colored text?
-
selsta
should be your IRC client highlighting your username
-
grumblemobile
Scratch what I said then. I was assuming third party pool.
-
Dereturn
so highlighting is green. is there a command to innit it?
-
Dereturn
does IRC have a @ function like in Discord?
-
selsta
no
-
selsta
but your client will highlight it when someone writes your username
-
Dereturn
selsta test message
-
Dereturn
I don't see it hilighted. is it only the receiver?
-
grumblemobile
Dereturn: yes
-
Dereturn
thanks for this information
-
Mochi101
grumblemobile, did you ever think you'd be introducing the yunguns to the magic of IRC?
-
nioc
after shaking fist at the clouds changed their name to grumble

Hi
-
Dean
Newbie to crypto here.
-
Dean
Can I mine on weak hardware?
-
sech1
It depends how weak
-
sech1
4 GB memory is the minimum for any meaningful mining
-
Dean
I'm honestly not trying to make money but just curious about it.
-
sech1
then even raspberry pi 3 will be enough to try
