00:26:24 > <@ofrnxmr[m]:libera.chat> Privacy = stack wallet 00:26:24 > stability = cake wallet 00:26:24 Update: Cake latest update is out, includes updates that bring privacy to a level on par with stack and monerujo 00:30:02 ofrnxmr[m]: Cake and Monero.com wallets 00:34:07 Little feature that most should be interested in: trusted nodes 00:34:07 If you add a trusted node (one run by you or a friend..) you save 5-10mb of data on each startup, which as a consequence results in faster start to the sync process. Particularly noticable over slow networks or low data allotments 00:35:47 7mb vs ~100kb on startup 00:36:18 Reckon they integrate lws into monerod? 00:37:43 Thats a question for dev / vtnerd / jberman etc. 00:37:43 I would like to see it developed in line with monero and be an "official" repo of monero-project 00:42:16 im considering mining xmr at home using multiple machines, but im afraid it will up my electricity bill drastically. 00:45:23 might just use a vps instead, but i dont know if i would have capable enough hardware 00:46:04 i haven't done enough research on crypto and i dont know where crypto is going or if its worth mining anyways after the ftx scandal 00:46:26 Mining for profit? Wrong coin 00:48:01 are you considering heating your home? that could up you electricity bill, buy some ear plugs instead and mine monero 00:48:45 Ftx is different that was a Ponzi scheme 00:49:18 Need to mine some scamcoin if you want to play the get rich off of dummies-inflating-the-price-beyond-actual-value game. 00:49:18 Regarding the state of crypto.. monero doesnt care what happens to shit/scamcoin. Monero is a utility first and foremost, with a lower inflation rate and more utility than. .. any other coin 00:49:38 More utility than* (not lower inflation) 00:49:43 > are you considering heating your home? 00:49:45 lol 00:50:16 tough decisions 00:50:37 So.. if youre mining monero because you want to save money in your piggy bank, go for it. Were not luna 00:50:37 If you want to mine monero to buy lambos, better hold those neros and stomach the electiricty costs 00:55:05 Regardless of what you mine, my 2c, convert to xmr. 00:55:05 Buying pressure on xmr = price appreciation = increased mining profit (fiat) > increase in miners. 00:55:05 So while buying monero might not be mining directly, it incentivizes mining 00:55:21 Tldr, mine whatever you want, but male sure your xmr valance is increasing as a result 00:55:35 Make* 00:55:35 balance* 00:56:20 plowsof11: my miners are quiet 00:57:16 "Wait.. its not supposed to sound like a turbine?" 00:57:44 no sir 00:58:56 cryptogrampy should chime in and say "MINE TOO, CAN'T HEAR A THING!" 00:59:37 one thing to note, if you have a cat the power button should be in the front of the case, not the top 01:00:12 if top a simple hack can prevent shut down 01:00:30 nioc: That's because they're scared: https://oshi.at/PAhY/ZkWF.jpeg 01:00:47 the top of the case provides a tactical advantage (height) and is also warm, i could see why that would be an issue 01:01:49 my cases have a mesh top so the heat seekers end up there 01:14:56 ofrnxmr[m]: i wasn't hoping to get rich, but make a small amount of money. i dont know what coin would be best for that. i dont know much about coins in general, but i was considering exchanging some money for crypto and see if it goes up or down. i dont have that much of a practical use for crypto. it seems very interesting, especially monero and ethereum because of their decentralised and private 01:14:58 nature, but cash is prety private too, and less volatile. 01:19:01 ofrnxmr[m]: will it take up too much electricity if i leave xmrig running on 3 of my computers 24/7 ? 01:19:39 ETH isnt decentralized or private 01:20:03 aren't all coins decentralised? 01:20:08 no banks 01:20:08 Nope 01:20:16 or governments 01:20:33 100% of eth was printed before it was launched 01:20:43 what does that mean 01:20:50 Today, still around 70% of eth was preprinted 01:21:02 can you send an article 01:21:22 Its common knowledge since day 1 that eth was a 100% premine 01:22:36 Other coins have taxes on mining rewards, or taxes on using the features 01:22:36 These "taxes" go to central entities 01:23:43 Wasn’t mostly owned by exchanges? 01:23:47 central entities to support the blockchain? 01:23:58 Some coins are fairly launched, POW, decentralized networks... but often they arent private at all 01:25:29 A LOT of coins are just tokens living on the eth network. 01:25:29 ETH is more like the current system, just on the internet and with no privacy or regulations. 01:25:29 There are "ICO"s etc. These are obviously not money. These are stocks 01:26:49 I'm not sure I fully understand. Are there any resources I should read? 01:27:19 Hm. Its a deep rabbit hole.. but leads you hear anyway 01:27:46 The longer you stick around monero and compare the core values of monero vs anything else, you'll see what you need to see 01:28:05 One is money, the rest all have some other goal 01:28:18 Wow xmrig really drained my x200's battery. 01:29:08 How much HR from that x200? 01:30:46 [2022-12-14 20:30:21.175] miner speed 10s/60s/15m 141.6 132.1 147.8 H/s max 183.0 H/s 01:31:00 RavFX[m]: 01:31:54 I'm gonna try mining on my gaming laptop with gpu and my proliant server too 01:32:11 Use the GPU for something else 01:34:22 ofrnxmr[m]: not mining? 01:34:39 Not mining monero* 01:34:56 Mine and dump xhv or something 01:43:23 will that take up a lot of power? 01:44:02 Only all the power it can take from the part you use to mine 01:48:57 I'm not sure if that means it will use a lot or not 01:52:07 nah forget it, it's not worth mining at home. i might try dumping a coin though. 01:52:20 i dont know how effective that is 01:54:39 still gonna try mining for a few days on my other machines just to mess around 01:56:36 fmlatghor: Thats some math ya did there.. 01:57:08 I assume youre saying its somehow its better to mine on a vps. Youd be terrible wrong 01:57:50 But yeah.. dont let me waste my time if you dont actually want to mine anything 01:58:20 Tldr. Use your gpu to mine xhv and use your cpu to mine monero 01:58:43 Sell the xhv for monero, and pay the electric bills out of pocket 02:04:36 ofrnxmr[m]: i might try that, but i definitely need to do more research first. are you speaking out of your own experience? 02:09:10 ofrnxmr[m]: i wasn't saying it'd be better on a vps because of practical reasons, but for electrical costs 02:09:51 VPS are to soft for there price, you gonna pay more 02:11:18 If electricity is more expensive than mining income. 02:11:19 Then buy the electricity price worth of coins instead of mining, you gonna have more for the same cost 02:17:19 makes sense 02:46:36 thanks for all the information, I'm learning a lot 03:36:28 See ya folks 05:09:53 Anybody want to buy some pre-bulletproof XMR? These are collectors items so the price is a lot higher than market XMR price. 05:10:47 I'm charging 1.5 XMR for every pre-bulletproof XMR. Full coins only please. 06:32:50 Mochi101: Is that a thing? 06:33:09 oh yes, of course! 06:33:21 weird 06:41:25 You want to buy some apotheon? 06:41:56 This stuff is going fast, so you have to hurry, 06:41:56 nah, thanks 06:42:29 Yuo have to know it's BS, right? 06:42:33 If I want NFTs, I'll probably get 'em from Aurora so I get discounted compute time, or something like that. 06:42:38 yeah 06:42:59 ok, good 06:43:03 gnight 06:43:10 I was playing straight man for the joke, until the NFT comment. 06:43:22 g'night 06:53:50 guys that was funny lets just love each other 07:48:59 love, but verify. 13:11:49 any recommendations for IRC GUI? i've been using hexchat but migrating to a new lappy (finally... ) 13:24:55 https://thelounge.chat/ 13:25:04 but you need to host it somewhere 13:25:37 i already have a bouncer..... hrm 13:26:09 just install thelounge there 13:26:33 oooh smartphone 13:26:36 ruh roh 13:26:47 yep, I can shitpost on IRC from my smartphone now :D 13:26:53 danke 13:44:45 +1 for The Lounge, I run it with znc in front for other needs 13:45:13 A lot of the features are disabled by default and you need to configure them 13:50:21 ugh. is this the thing that'll make me deal with docker.... 13:50:38 no 13:51:31 node.js . im having nightmare flashbacks of running the monero pool.... 13:52:30 presumably its gotten better since then 13:53:31 theloun+ 8452 0.0 1.2 1536516 802504 ?

Am I in the right place. 17:45:04 ? 17:45:19 yes, please give specifics 17:46:11 then wait for an answer 17:56:57 It's the first time I see that nowpayments.io way to donate with other cryptocurrencies than XMR. Is that new? And does this pay directly into the XMR address for the CCS? 17:59:19 ajs_[m]> with NowPayments donation button, BTC/LTC/ETC is automatically converted to XMR and sent to the CCS 17:59:27 rbrunner: ^^ 18:01:53 Yeah, saw that, a ChangeNow venture as it seems, just wondered how long it's possible already to donate that way 18:02:14 and where to see, well, whether I could trust that 18:02:49 (A question just out of principle, with almost all new things Monero) 18:20:59 If I cancel a blockchain sync with control C will it just pickup where it left off? 18:21:17 I am not exactly at home 18:21:31 I ma sure they will want me to leave sooner or latter. 18:22:09 don't know about control C, I just type exit into the daemon which will save the chain and then exit 18:22:41 that will allow you to sync from where you have exited 18:22:51 Ok thank you. 18:23:39 yw 18:23:56 Perhaps I should elaborate a little. I am doing this on a laptop. I run a crypto currency meetup and I want to start mining monero at that meetup. so pepole can see how the sausage is made. 18:24:52 Should be cool for newbies. 18:25:01 try gupax.io with a remote node if you're in a rush (its in beta though) 18:25:08 will you be mining with the built in miner in the daemon or using an external mining program like xmrig? 18:25:24 built in was the plan. 18:25:59 yeah daemon/chain needs to be synced 18:26:19 I was just looking at the names in the room. I know the name fluffypony. very cool. 18:27:34 that's the CEO of Monero (Chief Entertainment Officer) 18:30:49 I've seen a few interviews. 18:31:41 (That is a joke. Monero has no CEO.) 18:32:14 I got it 18:32:28 we don't have a Chief Entertainment Officer? 18:32:30 so sad 18:34:36 Its a unofficial mob appointment. 18:34:43 Well vote on it now. 18:34:52 All in favor type I 18:34:53 I 18:36:41 Sir this is a public library, i know you said you needed to synchronoise something on our wifi but we're closing in 20 minutes, and you please finish up 18:37:06 LoL 18:37:46 Actually I am at a Resturaunt. 18:38:48 anyone here has purchased a Telegram phone number on fragment using TON 18:39:19 Sir: do they have good internet speeds? or your off a hotspot lol 18:40:18 decent speed.

Even best buy everything was branded you basically have to order online for an unbranded one. 18:42:27 Ahh 18:43:14 so i can sit at a restaurant and have a drink, but i cant with this laptop.. because i wont trust the restaurants wifi 18:43:33 Yeah I am desktop and pad at home but this laptop is the walk about one. 18:43:34 yeah fuck the hotspot everyplace has free wifi nowadays 18:43:52 Gonna do any war walks with your new laptop? 18:44:20 Computers are just a hobby for me so i personally haven't gone that far. 18:45:30 war walks hahaha??? 18:45:46 war cycling war driving war walking 18:45:55 sniffing for wifi 18:45:56 I was chatting with a guy a few years back that lived above a cafe he didn't have internet at all just used theirs. 18:46:17 my personal favorite was war kitty. 18:46:17 ohhhhh 18:46:30 i alredy did that with my current one... 18:46:36 At some point I was using nearby 24/7 kebab kiosk's internet 18:47:05 most of my neighbors wifi pw are already cracked 18:47:18 Yeah same 18:48:06 then i wanted to try and find what network had the cameras so i can watch the cameras that watch me lol.. if you know what i mean 18:48:08 Sadly, or maybe not so sad, I am not that close to any buisnesses. 18:48:45 Yeah I have to admit that shit is anoying. Evry Dotard has ring cameras now. 18:49:07 Sir: Hahahaha 18:49:10 exactly lol 18:50:09 Not that I care terribly what some one does but you can't even take a walk without being on the Fing internet. 18:50:54 Yes sir i understand but the next customers are going to be here in 10 minutes and we need to clean your table 18:51:12 plowsof11: what lol?? 18:51:33 One would think you would have the decency to point those things at your own house not the street, but nope. 18:51:37 Nah there cool. 18:51:54 I keep ordering beers. 18:52:11 drafts? or bottles? 18:52:18 bottle 18:52:39 heineken or corona? 18:52:54 Neither, guess again, 18:53:42 https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/zmoqih/to_paranoid_or_not_to_paranoid_node_setup/ 18:53:42 This is what i was referring to with the guide 18:53:47 Take the 'what are you wearing' stuff to private 18:54:30 plowsof11: sorry sorry! lol 18:56:51 Sir: budweiser or samuel adams 18:57:33 Worm is trying to hack the local network see if I am a hot chick. 18:57:46 @worm dos equis 18:58:19 Wow its been a long time since I have been in an IRC chat i've forgotten the commands. 18:58:24 Hahahaha 18:58:40 ik what it is but never tried it 18:59:18 where is the temp ban for ignoring request to take the chats to private 18:59:34 is it forward slash pm 18:59:52 tag = myname && tab for auto comple... && (message) 19:00:23 Dan (Is not the man & Braxman Tomsparks Advocate) ok, i guess we really need to improve the getmonero guide, but, it can only be the very basic/simplest form 19:00:45 msg == /msg (message) 19:01:53 think that worked. 19:08:02 "How to run a node?" isn't specific enough. There are many ways to run a node for different purposes. 19:09:23 i agree^ 19:12:09 everyone wants the guide for their specific purposes though - some hate docker - some hate systemd 19:13:14 its a tough one, but i think simply adding run time flags to have a public restricted rpc port is the missing piece of a simplistic guide 19:13:49 I think it needs explanation in the guide and like simple and advance setup 19:14:01 Simple = gui 19:14:04 Adnvance could be with config 19:14:17 s/Adnvance/Advance/ 19:14:36 Even in the simple could reference gui has built in one 19:14:53 yeah simple is gui for yourself , and then 'how to run monerod with a restricted rpc port ' and then glhf is acceptable 19:15:34 I think there COULD ve "1 click" buttons to setup advanced stuff 19:16:23 But again, I dont think people should vs using obfuscation techniques that they dont understand, and they shouldt run a node expecting higher privacy 19:16:35 Yeah 19:16:38 Running a node exposes you to the entire network as a monero supporter 19:16:54 Probably why it needs explanation with each setup 19:17:01 guides on getmonero have to be as generic as possible - if you must change 1 word in the future - due to translations there will be a pull request with 4000 things changed 19:17:04 This how this setup works 19:17:34 I have a guide, dont look, its broken, on what do do for each use case 19:17:38 ofrnxmr[m]: Criminal ;) 19:18:05 Access from same device? To nothing 19:18:05 access from other devices on lan? Add flags 19:18:05 access from other devices on wan? Open ports + instructions 19:19:14 Setup an onion rpc? Easy too but not recommended for noobs 19:20:08 500kbps (onion RPC) isnt exactly a noob friendly ux, its a pain point 19:20:42 simple mode = DL CLI and start monrerod 19:20:57 Yeah needs disclosure i think 19:20:58 Simple,advanced, blah blah 19:21:13 I think its pretty simple and almost fine as is 19:21:28 If it needs a guide, its a DYOR thing as there are plenty of good guides available 19:21:29 I dont thing cli is for noob 19:21:30 rbrunner: nothing has come in yet. if you like, DM me your email and I could give you view-only access to the back end 19:21:37 s/thing/think/ 19:21:41 Gui can be 19:21:41 Otherwise, just add toggles in gui for restricted rpc 19:22:08 I am noob and only use CLI 19:22:29 cause never a bug 19:22:41 What are opinions of mining with GUI? Get only about 700 H/s. Not even worth it? 19:23:26 At 700 h/s with network diff of 2.84e+11 and block reward 0.62 you can expect 0.0001 XMR per day. 19:23:44 Most noobs cant use cli. 19:23:51 Yes they can 19:23:56 Unless you have a set of commands 19:24:04 My grandma can use cli if she wants to 19:24:15 * RavFX[m] uploaded an image: (7KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/monero.social/DICKPgdzBeajYpVVFYIGcGvG/image.png > 19:24:18 help = commands 19:24:23 People act like they cant copy and paste or read 19:24:24 CLI is fine 19:24:33 Every use case is diffrent though. I am using the cli because it will show more stuff going on that the GUI when I do the meetups. If it was just my personal machine I am not the best tech person so i would probably just try GUI, 19:24:55 Thats my point you would need to have a list of commands and explain them 19:25:02 that=Than* 19:25:35 even just a couple recomended links to Youtube videos would be great. 19:25:44 or you could just use the commands and see what happens 19:25:57 You dont want people to blindly cooy commands 19:25:59 you can't break it 19:26:04 s/cooy/copy/ 19:26:21 nioc I disagree i can break anything. 19:26:43 Yeah my special power 19:27:07 ok lis = help all 19:27:12 list* 19:28:09 DanIsnotthemanBr: Huh 19:28:13 Isnt that was gui is 19:29:06 DanIsnotthemanBr: And yeah.. help all has a list of the commands and explains them all 19:29:28 Except for --proxy 😝 iirc --proxy isnt explained lolol 19:29:28 Copy commands is fine if you can trust the source 19:29:29 truth is I started b4 there was a GUI and am too stewpid and lazy to learn the GUI 19:30:21 also people think I am hacker :D 19:31:12 lol Well I am out Im running out of juice and this outlet dose not work. 19:31:25 l8r 19:31:29 Re cli, I prefer config files to copy and pasting flags 19:31:42 Thanks for the help folks. 19:31:50 l8r. 20:10:35 nioc: "also people think I am hacker" <--- thats how it begins, and then you actually are a hacker 20:17:13 hey hey where can we go chistmas shopping with monero! 20:56:34 20:10 < wormrobot> nioc: "also people think I am hacker" <--- thats how it begins, and then you actually are a hacker 20:56:46 I once got accused of "hacking" someone's computer at a Panera Bread. 20:57:08 I was just using a text mode IRC client. 20:57:24 The guy didn't accuse me to my face.
