04:02:23 <Guest28> Is this a place people can ask questions about xmr?
04:04:39 <NorrinRadd> fyes
04:04:43 <NorrinRadd> lol yes 
04:05:27 <Guest28> Do you know if there are plans to implement smart contracts?
04:12:55 <nioc> no
04:12:56 <ofrnxmr[m]> Yes, and no
04:13:18 <nioc> it is lacking some things needed
04:16:54 <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?
04:17:31 <ofrnxmr[m]> Yes we know and no there isnt
04:17:54 <ofrnxmr[m]> Expanding my previous answer ^
04:18:55 <nioc> scripts
04:19:33 <nioc> also monero is just what it is supposed to be, private money
04:20:35 <nioc> nobody is working or has worked on "smart" contracts for monero
04:20:35 <ofrnxmr[m]> ^^
04:20:46 <ofrnxmr[m]> Also missing people who ask for such features, people to implement such, and most importantly a good reason for any of it.
04:21:16 <ofrnxmr[m]> Just because people think defi is good doesnt mean it even works
04:24:54 <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?
04:26:48 <NorrinRadd> Guest28 what is preventing buying a house with monero?
04:30:58 <Guest28> The loan is what I'm thinking about
04:41:01 <Guest28> Sorry, I have to go; thank you for the insight, I really appreciate it!
21:20:52 <DarkenedGentlema> Is there anyway to figure out the theoretical hasing rate of a GPU graphics card based on it's specs?
21:21:16 <DarkenedGentlema> Wondering what a single RTX 3070 card would hash at.
21:32:17 <NorrinRadd> benchmarks are posted onine DarkenedGentlema 
21:32:29 <NorrinRadd> xmrig has benchmarks somewhere 
23:29:47 <DarkenedGentlema> 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?
23:30:04 <Mochi101> yes
23:30:22 <DarkenedGentlema> Not seeing were to do this.  I'm ab the mode selection section.
23:31:29 <Mochi101> https://www.getmonero.org/resources/user-guides/remote_node_gui.html
23:31:42 <Mochi101> scroll down to: Configuring your wallet to connect to a custom public remote node
23:32:58 <DarkenedGentlema> Ya, i dont have that.  I look to be in a wizard since I just installed the GUI.
23:33:19 <DarkenedGentlema> I guess maybe I need to complete this part first.  I selected advanced mode.
23:33:45 <Mochi101> Start from the top, yeah.
23:33:46 <DarkenedGentlema> It's only giving me options to create, open, or restore a wallet.
23:34:23 <Mochi101> Yes, you'll need to have a wallet.
23:35:53 <DarkenedGentlema> I assume creating a wallet doesn't actually do anything on the network? Meaning my IP wont be seen?
23:37:02 <Mochi101> I can't say for sure that wallet is doing in the background.
23:45:43 <DarkenedGentlema> Man this sync is slow.
23:46:00 <DarkenedGentlema> especially considering this is a 10gbit link
23:46:31 <nioc> what type of drive do you have?
23:47:03 <DarkenedGentlema> SSD, Raid10 hardware raid controller
23:47:10 <DarkenedGentlema> 4 drive config
23:47:17 <Mochi101> Processor?
23:47:32 <nioc> also what is slow
23:47:52 <Mochi101> A turtle
23:48:07 <DarkenedGentlema> Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 0 @ 2.20GHz
23:48:23 <Mochi101> DarkenedGentlema, how fast do you expect it to sync?
23:49:35 <DarkenedGentlema> Was expecting to see network download speeds higher than 5000 kbps
23:50:38 <DarkenedGentlema> Is there a bootstrap of some sort on a fast connection that I can use?
23:50:48 <DarkenedGentlema> This is estimating 23 hours to complete.
23:53:12 <as2333> DarkenedGentlema network connection isn't the bottleneck
23:53:22 <Mochi101> Processor
23:54:26 <Mochi101> All of us are running AMD EPYC 9654 or better.
23:54:31 <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.
23:54:53 <nioc> yeah threading is an issue
23:55:19 <DarkenedGentlema> top shows monerod hitting 105% max.
23:55:35 <DarkenedGentlema> It's leaving 500% on the table.
23:57:49 <selsta> DarkenedGentlema: how long did it sync and what percentage are you? and what is your config?
23:58:14 <DarkenedGentlema> I'm 25% synced
23:58:33 <Mochi101> First 70% goes quick.
23:58:39 <DarkenedGentlema> It's been running for 38 min
