  ofrnxmr[m]
  Yes, and no
• 04:13
  nioc
  it is lacking some things needed
• 04:16
  Guest28
  ofrnxmr[m] How so? What makes you say yes? nioc Do you know if there is any resources on what is missing or have any insight into what it may be?

  also monero is just what it is supposed to be, private money
• 04:20
  nioc
  nobody is working or has worked on "smart" contracts for monero
• 04:20
  ofrnxmr[m]
  ^^

  ofrnxmr[m]
  Also missing people who ask for such features, people to implement such, and most importantly a good reason for any of it.
• 04:21
  ofrnxmr[m]
  Just because people think defi is good doesnt mean it even works
• 04:24
  Guest28
  Ohh, I see, makes sense! So people hope to be able to pay for lunch with monero, but they would never want to buy a house with it? Or is that not fair to say?
• 04:26
  NorrinRadd
  Guest28 what is preventing buying a house with monero?
• 04:30
  Guest28
  The loan is what I'm thinking about
• 04:41
  Guest28

  Is there anyway to figure out the theoretical hasing rate of a GPU graphics card based on it's specs?
• 21:21
  DarkenedGentlema
  Wondering what a single RTX 3070 card would hash at.
• 21:32
  NorrinRadd
  benchmarks are posted onine DarkenedGentlema
• 21:32
  NorrinRadd
  xmrig has benchmarks somewhere

  If i install monerod on a remote server, can I install the GUI on my desktop and have it connect to that remote monero daemon?
• 23:30
  Mochi101
  yes
• 23:30
  DarkenedGentlema
  Not seeing were to do this. I'm ab the mode selection section.
• 23:31
  Mochi101
  getmonero.org/resources/user-guides/remote_node_gui.html
• 23:31
  Mochi101
  scroll down to: Configuring your wallet to connect to a custom public remote node
• 23:32
  DarkenedGentlema
  Ya, i dont have that. I look to be in a wizard since I just installed the GUI.
• 23:33
  DarkenedGentlema
  I guess maybe I need to complete this part first. I selected advanced mode.
• 23:33
  Mochi101
  Start from the top, yeah.
• 23:33
  DarkenedGentlema
  It's only giving me options to create, open, or restore a wallet.
• 23:34
  Mochi101
  Yes, you'll need to have a wallet.
• 23:35
  DarkenedGentlema
  I assume creating a wallet doesn't actually do anything on the network? Meaning my IP wont be seen?
• 23:37
  Mochi101
  I can't say for sure that wallet is doing in the background.
• 23:45
  DarkenedGentlema
  Man this sync is slow.
• 23:46
  DarkenedGentlema
  especially considering this is a 10gbit link
• 23:46
  nioc
  what type of drive do you have?
• 23:47
  DarkenedGentlema
  SSD, Raid10 hardware raid controller
• 23:47
  DarkenedGentlema
  4 drive config
• 23:47
  Mochi101
  Processor?
• 23:47
  nioc
  also what is slow
• 23:47
  Mochi101
  A turtle
• 23:48
  DarkenedGentlema
  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 0 @ 2.20GHz
• 23:48
  Mochi101
  DarkenedGentlema, how fast do you expect it to sync?
• 23:49
  DarkenedGentlema
  Was expecting to see network download speeds higher than 5000 kbps
• 23:50
  DarkenedGentlema
  Is there a bootstrap of some sort on a fast connection that I can use?
• 23:50
  DarkenedGentlema
  This is estimating 23 hours to complete.
• 23:53
  as2333
  DarkenedGentlema network connection isn't the bottleneck
• 23:53
  Mochi101
  Processor
• 23:54
  Mochi101
  All of us are running AMD EPYC 9654 or better.
• 23:54
  DarkenedGentlema
  Mochi101: Well either this thing doesnt thread properly, or something else is wrong because it's only using 1 CPU from the looks of it.
• 23:54
  nioc
  yeah threading is an issue
• 23:55
  DarkenedGentlema
  top shows monerod hitting 105% max.
• 23:55
  DarkenedGentlema
  It's leaving 500% on the table.
• 23:57
  selsta
  DarkenedGentlema: how long did it sync and what percentage are you? and what is your config?
• 23:58
  DarkenedGentlema
  I'm 25% synced
• 23:58
  Mochi101
  First 70% goes quick.
• 23:58
