I knew a guy who would forward certain 3rd level domain names to servers offering referal links which looked similar to the real domain name, because most domain names are hosted at the same ip addresses as hundreds or thousands of others, it was impossible for outside parties to tell if the webserver is configured right, he said

so you might for example be going to googlesearchengine.com instead of google.com, and most people wouldn't even know its an affiliate link

like I own wieldfield.com, most people wouldn't necessarily think that ww68.wieldfield.com is an affiliate link

that bsv monero talk video was so bad

my man salty cuz he bought all the GPUs in the world and to realize RandomX was implemented

Craig was there?

Fake satoshi?

a BSV guy afraid of dev centralization in Monero? loool

still mining Monero Classic. What a guy

lmao

every time you utter the words faketoshi - someone - somewhere just left a meeting angrily

<GorillaQuest[m]> "my man salty cuz he bought all..." <- Haha that was a hilarious discussion. That guy should support Proof of stake given his mindset haha

cApiTalisM

the ending of the q&a was the best part

Nah that was lame

I'm surprised doug let that guy get to his head

I would've wiped the floor with that guy

the dude was literally claiming that network users don't determine what money is. Basically he doesn't think money is an emergent phenemon from market participants. He cray cray

Yeah sometimes they go on their own tangent

The dude sounded like a straight up scam artist too. The claims he was making about BSV were hilarious. You could tell the guy was just there to try to pump his baby and not discuss use-case or technical merits

I have absolute fuckton of UTXO from P2Pool mining. What's the proper way to send them? I can't send them normally.

First I tried in Feather Wallet. It errored "split transactions not supported". Then I trieded to manually select 145 coins at a time (most that wont error). Those transactions got sent but failed. Now I try in Official GUI wallet and it says node rejected becuse of double spend.

why can't you?

if it got rejected because of a double spend, then perhaps your transaction did actually go through

or at least, it's in the mempool

have you tried for the txid on a chain explorer?

*searching for

no i'll look

nope. not on the blockchain or mempool

resync your wallet

with so many inputs high fee (0.01) is normal, right?

perhaps the tx is stuck in your node's mempool but did not get relayed

there's a command to flush the tx mempool or something

then the wallet should not complain about double spending anymore

hmm that could help

i'll look at that

flush_txpool

ok tx sent. now i wait.

not seeing any 146 in tx in mempool

I see a few large txes in the last 20 minutes

node: E notify::send_txs provided message exceeding covert fragment size

and tx still pending in wallet

Does that mean too many inputs in the transaction? BTW I've read some conflicting stuff. Is sending all your balance to some other wallet okay for privacy? What about to the same wallet?

transactions failed

whiny

I'm using the Monero.com wallet on android, trying to connect to an onion node. I have orbot on and the wallet routing through it. Orbot shows higher than normal download activity which i took to mean it was syncing. However in the wallet. It just says either 'Connecting...' or 'Attempting to sync' If i go to the connection menu all nodes (including clearnet nodes) turn red. I wait a few seconds and they all turn green. Then I go back to

home screen and it still says 'Attempting to sync'. If I click connection settings again they are all disconnected and then they reconnect a few seconds later. Is this a bug or has anyone else experienced it?

Are you using the cake onion?

And are you running orbot globally or just for cake?

no, I'm using the boldsuck onion from xmrguide. It now shows the remaining blocks but if I leave the connection settings they all disconnect. Meaning I have to leave connection settings open to stay connected, meaning I don't get to see progress

ofrnxmr[m]: I tried both, currently just for the wallet. I tried with and without bridges, and with always on vpn on and off

Anyway.

Thats not a bug (red > green), it performs a check when you go to that screen.

Green implied cake has internet connectivity

The attempting to sync sounds like a bad node. Use a different one

As long as i stay on this page it works, but the second you leave it they disconnect

All 3 of them including the cake onion and clearnet nodes are doing it

I tried cake's onion node and it does the same thing

Dont go back and forth from the page

Just open cake and wait

Or add the trusted option.

Onion nodes move about 300-600kbps

without trusted you have to download 3-6mb after making the connection

Which can lead to 20-30 seconds of "connecting"

Dont use trusted toggle on random nodes you find on the internet**

So, actually, just wait 39 seconds since you dont personally knoe the node operator

> <@ofrnxmr:monero.social> Dont use trusted toggle on random nodes you find on the internet**

> So, actually, just wait 39 seconds since you dont personally knoe the node operator

Ok thanks

I just tried using cakes, took ~ 10 seconds to go from connecting to attempting, then immediately to sync

Can you explain? what is the 3mb of download?

boned how many inputs do you have in total? Try to just transfer 0.2-0.3 XMR at a time (it will require ~100 inputs if they're from p2pool). And flush_txpool on your node and rescan the wallet

I mean 0.02-0.03 XMR at a time

The trusted toggle = --trusted-daemon for cli

boned: check sech1's message a couple up

sech1: i have a few hundred outputs.

i tried transferring 145~ outputs at a time by selecting outputs in feather wallet. but those failed. maybe i should try with less, ~100 like you say

it should be possible to consolidate in 2-3 transactions

I don't know how feather works, but monero CLI works for me every time with p2pool inputs and it creates more than 1 transaction if needed

yep, when i tried, official wallet did create multiple tx but those failed. i think this is a node thing. could tx-proxy & anonymous-inbound be a culprit?

maybe. I run node locally

boned: tx-proxy can fail if you have large transactions

i'll try disabling those

see this issue

true^ and i also encounter some weird issues building large tx's

i enabled them to support tor/i2p usage, but i connect to the node on LAN

'lose connection to the node' can also happen during

boned: those should only be an issue if you dont have onion connections listed in sync_info

transactions are on the blockchain now. so the culprit was tx-proxy & anonymous-inbound. disable those if you have to send transcations with many inputs!

tho i guess that kinda means monero won't work fully with darknet-only P2P networking. (?) you have to accept inter-node p2p being clearnet.

boned: as it says in the issue you can keep them enabled by adding `--tx-proxy tor,127.0.0.1:9050,disable_noise`

this way you still have better privacy than sending tx over clearnet

and you don't have issues with large transactions

ah ok.

Finally I have one remaining question: If you "send all" your balance to another wallet or same wallet, does it impact you privacy in a significant way? I've read some conflicting stuff.

Also. If I want to allow for Tor/I2P P2P peers connecting to my node, but don't want to proxy my tx, is that possible?

<boned> "Finally I have one remaining..." <- Yes but it's basically unavoidable with P2Pool payouts:

The "standard advice" is to perform at least one churn transaction with some delay after such a consolidation. The standard advice has not been analyzed rigorously.

Rucknium[m]: You mean after sending yourself to consolidate, send yourself another time?

Yes. The advice is to do the churn transaction a random time after the consolidation tx

any of y'all into hawala?

I haven't really interacted with it at all, but it seems cool. Why do you ask?
