00:00:00 <DarkenedGentlema> I did not create a config, simply ran 'monerod --prune-blockchain --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083' 
00:00:06 <selsta> ok
00:00:26 <DarkenedGentlema> going to use an SSH tunnel to connect GUI
00:00:36 <selsta> 25% in 38min doesn't sound too bad?
00:01:31 <DarkenedGentlema> I'm just watching network throughput and expected to see faster downloading of the chain
00:01:51 <selsta> but it's verifying and not only downloading the chain
00:02:00 <selsta> verifying is the slow part
00:02:13 <DarkenedGentlema> Are there any tweaks I should be doing to monerod to optomize it.
00:03:33 <Mochi101> Whenever I sync a node I pray to the crypto gods and thank them that Monero is not Ethereum.
00:03:38 <Mochi101> I think it helps.
00:07:19 <selsta> DarkenedGentlema: default should be good for most cases
00:07:42 <selsta> it will take around 12h to a day to sync up
05:13:05 <DarkenedGentlema> Mochi101: Getting there, 93% with an estimate of 1 hour left.
05:13:50 <Mochi101> nice
05:14:03 <Mochi101> Keep going. The last hour is like 4 hours long.
05:21:07 <DarkenedGentlema> It's at least chewing up more CPU now, only 230%
05:22:18 <DarkenedGentlema> and pulling 40 mbit
05:24:40 <DarkenedGentlema> Def seams to be more IO intensive from the looks of it.
05:24:55 <DarkenedGentlema> Disk Write in the 50M/s
05:37:48 <selsta> DarkenedGentlema: random IO speed is most important for monero sync 
05:41:02 <selsta> not sequential
05:47:28 <DarkenedGentlema> ya, wrqm is in the 90% range.
05:48:35 <DarkenedGentlema> It's getting there... I'm at 97% sync now at least.
05:48:45 <DarkenedGentlema> only 80K left to sync.
06:27:25 <chown> I love monerochan
06:36:18 <NorrinRadd> it's a very good mascot
06:36:25 <NorrinRadd> i think it'll go very far
06:36:40 <NorrinRadd> the sticker guy created it? i forget the exact nick.  monero-something
06:37:24 <NorrinRadd> monerobull. he's not on irc, i don't think. 
10:29:12 <hv-bridge> <ERROR> Please stop pinging me
16:23:13 <Mochi101> NorrinRadd, there's some pictures of a woman doing monerochan cosplay in the University of Austria
16:23:18 <Mochi101> Seen them?
17:13:02 <NorrinRadd> Mochi101 i dont think i have 
17:13:30 <Mochi101> https://www.monerochan.art/cosplay1.html
17:14:45 <Mochi101> There's a set 2... but it's nsfw... adjust the link as would seem appropriate.
17:14:57 <Mochi101> different person/location too
19:49:04 <DarkenedGentlema> Any thoughts here on whats happening? https://pastebin.com/KpYEPPPJ
19:54:44 <Mochi101> DarkenedGentlema, better off asking someone like sech1 about that in #monero-pools
19:57:20 <sech1> Just don't mine RandomX on GPU, this is what's happening
19:57:54 <NorrinRadd> DarkenedGentlema ^
20:02:32 <Mochi101> lol sech1 
20:05:10 <DarkenedGentlema> sech1: Isn't that what's needed to mine monero.
20:06:31 <DarkenedGentlema> Is CPU mining even profitable?
20:08:24 <Mochi101> DarkenedGentlema, in general Monero mining is not profitable.
20:08:47 <sech1> Monero is mined with CPUs
20:08:51 <sech1> GPUs are 10 times slower
20:13:52 <Mochi101> 9 out of 10 Monero Devs say that GPUs are 10x slower
20:14:33 <Mochi101> The 10th dev says that they're 11x slower
20:15:43 <moneromoooo> That 10th is 0verKlockR on IRC, right ?
20:17:12 <Mochi101> Monero is so private that I don't know who the 10 devs that participated in the survey actually are.
20:18:00 <Mochi101> Only have their ring signatures to go on.
20:53:51 <hyc> DarkenedGentlema: nobody has used GPUs for Monero mining since 2019
