cool

<᷾s> Wen tx_extra nft 😦

<BobbedBort> how large can t_extra padding be?

Hello

I have monerod set up and synced the blockchain, i have xmrig running as well. When I run monerod status i get his message: Error: Problem fetching info-- rpc_request: Then in the status I get mining info unavailable even tho I can see xmrig running. Output of status also shows 0(out)+0(in) connections. I can get info from the RPC in tor browser. I feel like I've set something up wrong but don't know what

rpc login is blocking monerod status

Or torsocks

Torsocks is unneeded. I sugeest you make these changes to your config

Add... (full message at <libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/do…d15f1f3278c37c6dd2689f6a4f3af1a4697>)

And dont use torsocks

The above disables torsocks (old method) in favor of --proxy (new method), and adds a new port for restricted calls, allowing full use of unrestricted port while on localhost.

If this doesnt work, its probably rpc-login

Not sure about that one. It shouldn't, (unless you also use the node with monero gui and have mining enabled?)

Pcubensis[m]: did you enable background mining in monero-wallet-cli?

selsta: Yes i did

I assume that's why it says smart mining?

disable it if you want to use xmrig

oh ok, let me try that

nvm i forgot to change the virtual port in torrc

I dont understand

ofrnxmr[m]: HiddenServicePort 18081 127.0.0.1:18089

changed to HiddenServicePort 18089 127.0.0.1:18089

I assume when running the node and xmrig it should say not mining?

sudo systemctl restart tor

After changing torrc

Yes i did

thanks!

Is there a way to pull up xmrig status since its running the background?

does this help github.com/xmrig/xmrig#usage

or does monerod status show the mining hash of xmrig?

<plowsof11> "or does monerod status show..." <- Is that the net hash in the ```monerod status``` output? If it is, then yes

net hash is the whole network, if monerod status says "not mining" them i would be worried

unless monerod is xmrig mining hash agnostic and will always display "not mining" , i do not know

Ok, I'm running on ssh, when i run xmrig the miner comes up, but the process ends if i disconnect the ssh session, is there a way to make it run in the background?

ok, there was an option in config.json for background

but still says not mining in monerod, guess i'll just watch my balance and see if i earn any moneroj

we're asking tech support questions play - by - play here, we can do this all day / week for you

P. cubensis: Go to #xmrmine:matrix.org

I don't think monerod knows that xmrig's hash rate. Easiest way to keep a process running (but still accessible to shell commands later) after disconnect is to use screen. Or you can add & after the command and it will push the process to the background in Linux

Yes, screen or tmux

Yes, monerod doesnt know xmrig hashrate.

Typing `h` into xmrig will show current hashrate

<ofrnxmr[m]> "Yes, screen or tmux" <- I went into ```config.json``` and set ```"background":true``` and it runs in the background, but now i can't check hashrate

guess i'll try tmux

You can have it log the hash rate.

HI

Soo does anyone here mine Monero with renewable energy?

Yes me, technically, with a modest PC and solar energy

Really, really, really?

Say no more! Time to say more

Nothing more to say. Also, there's no time

WinterStar: In which county do you mine?

mb wanted to ping @WinterStar

* mb wanted to ping @WinterStar

In the tiny country of The Netherlands

WinterStar, how does it feel to be independent (at least more than most)?

I have a quick question, if I bought my BTC through a KYC exchange, can they know that I swapped it in monero on another exchange ?

I assume they can

Anonymous__: independent how?

because of doing my own mining or the renewable thing?

XMRPriest[m]: They can know you deposited btc to an exchange but not the swap part

Both feel good: monero is not from an exchange so truly anonymous, and renewable doesn't tax the environment

If they're not colluding of course

The bad thing however: mining goes painfully slow

xmrig in a tmux session on an old AMD system

but hey. at least it's doing something, and the PC is a small always on system

WinterStar, power as well as currency :D

Oh really, good to know!! I thought they can follow till the swap but they could always come after me wanting to know what I did with my BTC cockliuser do you buy off local monero ?

both

WinterStar, wait what do you mean tax the environment? Don't tell me you didn't install the system yourself?

XMRPriest[m]: I don't really buy Monero I just sell stuff for Monero

nice

I have a laptop, but I don't want to stress it too much.. please live as long as you can, you little butterfly

Nice, what other do you sell then they email domains ?

I got a beast but it's too loud lol

Laptop mining destroyed one of my laptop's GPU's way back in 2012

XMRPriest[m]: On another website (sellix) I sell some other digital goods :P

Also do some developer bounties

So no laptop mining. The system I use for monero is a mini build with a desktop CPU

WinterStar, I was surprised how good GPU mining can be for me

I honestly don't even use this computer and probably shouldn't sell it

I cannot seem to get GPU monero mining operational

Might as well mine with CPU and GPU xD

should throw this PC into cold weather outside and let it cool that way

I tried CPU+GPU XMR mining

I don't think it made such a difference

I think it might be better to mine ETH or something and then just exchange for XMR :D

XMRPriest[m]: The government can potentially follow, even the swap step, but a public observer like the KYCed exchange can at most only know that you deposited some money to an address belonging to another exchange

Isn't the ETH difficulty much higher than XMR?

Anonymous__: Eth can't be mined now 😅

^

Wiat what?

not since the merge

WinterStar: ETH switched to PoS in like 2021 but yeah accumulating all that ETH for staking is pretty difficult

September 15, 2022

Hmm

What merge?

Anonymous__: ethereum.org/en/upgrades/merge

<cockliuser[m]> "The government can potentially..." <- That makes sense because when I’ve seen diagrams from governments tracing coins from hacks, they can show when the Bitcoin was swapped to monero which is scary in it of itself

scary?

Welcome to reality - where bad shit actually does happen, instead governments brain-washing you lol

> we'll nail every bad bad

> we'll bad bad

> we decide what is bad, fuck you

Governments control news, can fake crimes (or place like drugs or smtn), and come-out as a hero in the end while getting your hearts warm lol

You have no idea how much control it is POSSIBLE to do.. now whether they're doing it or not - it seems to be yes more day by day

From my experience, you should never underestimate how much governments are subject to Hanlon's razor

to wot

It's amusing to me how in the US people perceive goverment officials to be all-powerful schemers

you think they're powerless?

where in reality, governments are mostly way too stupid to pull of anything coherent

really?

is there any evidence for such claim?

as2333: not powerless, but overestimated

Yes

There is

are you aware for instance that the US has the highest incarceration rate on the planet?

I met a government official who could not succesfully distinguish metal from plastic

:)

but I digress

as2333: yes. But what proof of anything is that?

of course there are some pretty stupid government 'officials'

I don't have eye-health to read that ETH post.. how bad is proof-of-stake? I recall feeling very bad about it

You could train monkeys to stuff people in prisoins

> <WinterStar> It's amusing to me how in the US people perceive goverment officials to be all-powerful schemers < Same here, but I doubt it's US-specific xD

perceiving them as powerful is part of the "programming"

WinterStar well, it seems kinda obvious the US govt has enough power to put millions and millions of people in jail.

they need you to have fear

I am referencing my own country, to be sure. But in general, governments are inefficient, civil-servant filled mologs

> <WinterStar> where in reality, governments are mostly way too stupid to pull of anything coherent < Well not really.. I mean.. maybe, but the power they posses - is huge.. even 1 smart person can do so much damager with it

ah yes I wanted to say - plant evidence

i'm a bit slow in brain

WinterStar and that's just one example, although it should be a rather shocking one in my opinion.

Perhaps they meant over-congratulated?

social programming yall

WinterStar the netherlands is pretty evil and corrupt

it happenign for decades

> my own country < you have a country?

Honestly - we should stop having wars and be like "my country", "your country", "my country better because well umm - because I AM IN IT!!!", and be like humans - you is human, I am human, human.

Human help human = help self

WinterStar governments are the most efficient criminal organziation in town. That's how they keep their power.

overpopulation my ass

as2333: that is true

People have wars while the generals/presidents drink alcohol and celebrate together

WinterStar I do agree that government criminals are stupid in a way, and unable to produce useful stuff, but they are good at their criminal 'trade'

I plan on writing digital books

if my eyes get better

You won't believe how much i can open your eyes..

you might commit suicide because it's seriously like Matrix

hopefully not, Monero users are nice

as2333, I agree

But I think govs they money from ads

I'll write about it

I forgot the thought

Basically I think that governments get some of their money from corporations by spying, like ads

Not sure if that's all of it

but also - yeah - tax. Imagine paying someone to spy on you and use you

you fund your own slavery

as2333: indeed, all politicians are prone to shady behaviour, but also (fortunately?) pretty incompentent in their assigned fields.

Anyway, I have to go.

cheers and until another time

WinterStar laters

The cost of underestimating the government is so high that it's folly not to err in the other direction.

indeed

they seem incompetent because you believe they are trying to do the job you think they're supposed to do

I often see "analysts" trying to explain why the gov decided to do this or that and how it makes no sense etc... that's a typical mistake, to think that their actual goal is to do what you think they're supposed to do

Heh, yeah. Not to mention numerical/scale bias (you could meet thousands of (incompetent) government workers and still not scratch the surface of most government workforces).
