11:23:20 is it normal for monerod to keep disconnecting throughout the first sync? 11:23:43 Error: Unsuccessful -- json_rpc_request: 11:23:46 log sends out this 12:27:50 xmrchain.net is ded 13:55:44 nssy2: so is this channel 13:55:49 'pparently 14:02:14 wen bridge to matrix? 14:10:49 nioc you can join matrix if you want the matrix plebs 14:11:34 no, I want the rooms bridged 14:12:25 i feel attacked! 14:12:50 although i do identify as an IRC user after shedding my [m] 14:19:08 silly tribes, we are one 16:08:46 repoman: what are you trying to do exactly? 16:14:26 selsta: syncing the blockchain with the monero gui app 16:14:33 i am a very big newbie btw..... >.< 16:14:59 repoman: ok, can you go to Settings -> Info and post "Version" and "Wallet mode" ? And which OS are you using? 16:15:18 the app froze 16:15:22 1 sec 16:15:30 are you using a Ledger? 16:15:41 what does that mean? 16:15:46 a ledger hardware wallet 16:15:53 nope 16:15:59 its not frozen it was just moving slowly lol 16:16:00 ok, it should not freeze at all 16:16:19 ok version 0.18.1.2-release wallet mode Advanced mode (Local node) 16:16:24 ok 16:16:39 its gone through 72gb of the blockchain 16:16:44 what kind of hardware (CPU, disk, RAM, ...) do you have? 16:16:47 but it disconnected like 5 times 16:17:03 I have a ryzen 7 5700g, 32 gigs 3600MT/s, rx 6570xt 16:17:10 and the os I'm running is Gentoo 16:17:27 SSD or HDD? with that specs likely SSD lol 16:17:31 and the disk.... is a laptop hard drive on an usb case 16:17:45 I'm using that disk for monero only 16:18:11 but yes I do have an 512gb nvme ssd, a 240gb sata ssd, one 2tb hdd and another 1tb hdd 16:18:21 but those are unrelated 16:19:15 sync speed mainly depends on random disk IO, so NVMe SSD is preferred 16:19:25 I would let it sync and check if you still have issues afterwards 16:20:12 selsta: yeah I understand I'm on worst case scenario when it comes to disk here 16:20:21 but still, disconnecting and timing out is weird 16:21:15 GUI and monerod daemon are two separate programs, so maybe the daemon was busy syncing and took too long to respond 16:21:27 it should not happen with SSD, I don't know if it happens with a slow drive 16:21:53 so I can't tell you if it's normal or not 16:22:14 selsta: that makes sense 16:22:45 I'm only using the GUI because i'm a big newbie on crypto in general even 16:22:52 would be optimal to go without it 16:23:06 SSD accessed over USB 2.0 is probably not great speed wise 16:23:49 it's a laptop hdd accessed over usb 3.0 fragcula 16:24:07 Oh that's probably alright then. 16:24:18 it should be those new cyan usb port thingies 16:24:24 the hdd is the issue 16:24:26 but the case probably only supports 3.0 16:25:11 I reckon you might get some useful rough figures of disc r/w access with dd? 16:25:14 selsta: i dont have any spare ssd's unfortunately 16:25:18 theyre all already being used 16:25:29 i'll do that fragcula 16:25:36 read / write speed is not important for monero 16:25:44 it's random disk IO speed 16:25:59 sequential read / write* 16:27:01 I see 16:27:07 well i'll wait for it to sync 16:27:14 and maybe get an extra ssd in the future 16:27:28 a pruned blockchain is 55gb 17:36:04 xmrchain.net is down 17:36:21 I guess someone said it already 17:41:57 the person that runs it is not in this channel, I let a message for them 17:42:04 *I left 18:00:16 Revuo Monero.
