  I did not create a config, simply ran 'monerod --prune-blockchain --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083'
• 00:00
  selsta
  ok
• 00:00
  DarkenedGentlema
  going to use an SSH tunnel to connect GUI
• 00:00
  selsta
  25% in 38min doesn't sound too bad?
• 00:01
  DarkenedGentlema
  I'm just watching network throughput and expected to see faster downloading of the chain
• 00:01
  selsta
  but it's verifying and not only downloading the chain
• 00:02
  selsta
  verifying is the slow part
• 00:02
  DarkenedGentlema
  Are there any tweaks I should be doing to monerod to optomize it.
• 00:03
  Mochi101
  Whenever I sync a node I pray to the crypto gods and thank them that Monero is not Ethereum.
• 00:03
  Mochi101
  I think it helps.
• 00:07
  selsta
  DarkenedGentlema: default should be good for most cases
• 00:07
  selsta
  it will take around 12h to a day to sync up
• 05:13
  DarkenedGentlema
  Mochi101: Getting there, 93% with an estimate of 1 hour left.
• 05:13
  Mochi101
  nice
• 05:14
  Mochi101
  Keep going. The last hour is like 4 hours long.
• 05:21
  DarkenedGentlema
  It's at least chewing up more CPU now, only 230%
• 05:22
  DarkenedGentlema
  and pulling 40 mbit
• 05:24
  DarkenedGentlema
  Def seams to be more IO intensive from the looks of it.
• 05:24
  DarkenedGentlema
  Disk Write in the 50M/s
• 05:37
  selsta
  DarkenedGentlema: random IO speed is most important for monero sync
• 05:41
  selsta
  not sequential
• 05:47
  DarkenedGentlema
  ya, wrqm is in the 90% range.
• 05:48
  DarkenedGentlema
  It's getting there... I'm at 97% sync now at least.
• 05:48
  DarkenedGentlema
  only 80K left to sync.
• 06:27
  chown

• 06:36
  NorrinRadd
  it's a very good mascot
• 06:36
  NorrinRadd
  i think it'll go very far
• 06:36
  NorrinRadd

• 06:37
  NorrinRadd

  NorrinRadd, there's some pictures of a woman doing monerochan cosplay in the University of Austria
• 16:23
  Mochi101
  Seen them?
• 17:13
  NorrinRadd

• 17:14
  Mochi101
  There's a set 2... but it's nsfw... adjust the link as would seem appropriate.
• 17:14
  Mochi101
  different person/location too
• 19:49
  DarkenedGentlema
  Any thoughts here on whats happening? pastebin.com/KpYEPPPJ
• 19:54
  Mochi101
  DarkenedGentlema, better off asking someone like sech1 about that in #monero-pools
• 19:57
  sech1
  Just don't mine RandomX on GPU, this is what's happening
• 19:57
  NorrinRadd
  DarkenedGentlema ^
• 20:02
  Mochi101
  lol sech1
• 20:05
  DarkenedGentlema
  sech1: Isn't that what's needed to mine monero.
• 20:06
  DarkenedGentlema
  Is CPU mining even profitable?
• 20:08
  Mochi101
  DarkenedGentlema, in general Monero mining is not profitable.
• 20:08
  sech1
  Monero is mined with CPUs
• 20:08
  sech1
  GPUs are 10 times slower
• 20:13
  Mochi101
  9 out of 10 Monero Devs say that GPUs are 10x slower
• 20:14
  Mochi101
  The 10th dev says that they're 11x slower
• 20:15
  moneromoooo
  That 10th is 0verKlockR on IRC, right ?
• 20:17
  Mochi101
  Monero is so private that I don't know who the 10 devs that participated in the survey actually are.
• 20:18
  Mochi101
  Only have their ring signatures to go on.
• 20:53
  hyc
  DarkenedGentlema: nobody has used GPUs for Monero mining since 2019
