02:23:08 <tired_turtle[m]> Anyone know how long MajesticBank transactions usually take? I just made my first transaction 🥴
02:27:28 <plowsof11> ask them on telegram https://majesticbank.ru/contact-us 
02:29:02 <tired_turtle[m]> Okay
02:30:46 <MajesticBank> to wow right?
02:31:46 <plowsof11> oh hello
02:33:14 <MajesticBank> no wow volume went ballistic in few minutes, no one wants to dump
02:33:23 <MajesticBank> but should be fixed very shortly 
02:34:27 <plowsof11> there was a rumour that wownero where going to donate 1 whole monero to monerokon - it must have caused a panic (1 whole wownero is 90% of the circulating supply)
02:35:14 <plowsof11> 1 whole wownero**
02:36:10 <MajesticBank> it's going to 1 usd in few hours
02:38:11 <MajesticBank> moon
02:38:59 <plowsof11> w0w

04:26:21 <MajesticBank> elitewallet 7th most used/searched monero wallet in google play store, 9th if you search for just monero
05:01:31 <tired_turtle[m]> <MajesticBank> "to wow right?" <- Yep. It's been over 2 hours now 😥
05:04:40 <tired_turtle[m]> R.I.P my 6 XMR 😭
05:17:01 <tired_turtle[m]> I used the onion link since they've banned U.S users. If I've been scammed then this is unreal 😔 ...
05:21:02 <tired_turtle[m]> I've contacted them and event sent proof of my payment. Hopefully I get a reply back. If not then I'm f*cked 😶
05:21:26 <tired_turtle[m]> even**

05:25:25 <tired_turtle[m]> Average exchange time is 23 minutes, apparently 🙄
05:29:57 <tired_turtle[m]> If you're in here admins of MajesticBank, here is the proof of my payment:

09:39:37 <tired_turtle[m]> Great their support ticket page doesn't work. I went on their Telegram and now they want me to go on XMPP 😒.
10:13:26 <ofrnxmr[m]> Why
10:13:39 <ofrnxmr[m]> You already spoke to them
10:14:00 <ofrnxmr[m]> MajesticBank:  please follow up
10:16:51 <tired_turtle[m]> One of their staff said he'll ping his boss. That's the last I heard from them
10:32:40 <ofrnxmr[m]> You spoke with majestic directly already 
10:32:43 <ofrnxmr[m]> Why go to their staffer after? 
10:34:53 <ofrnxmr[m]> They should resolve your issue sooner or later
10:35:13 <ofrnxmr[m]> Next time, use trocador.app
10:53:11 <tired_turtle[m]> <ofrnxmr[m]> "Why go to their staffer after?..." <- No, I went to their Telegram room seeking support and the staffer was the first to respond
10:53:29 <tired_turtle[m]> <ofrnxmr[m]> "Next time, use trocador.app" <- I think I've learned my lesson
10:54:34 <ofrnxmr[m]> You came here and majestic responded 
11:28:49 <tired_turtle[m]> Nevermind
12:09:12 <atomic557[m]> My monerod sync is pretty slow... is 38minutes for 1000blocks normal? .__.
12:09:57 <moneromooo> Is the database on a spinning disk ?
12:10:08 <atomic557[m]> Nope ssd
12:10:36 <moneromooo> Then it is not normal at all. Run top to see what's wrong. Especially the line with wa%.
12:10:36 <Siren[m]> Dial up?
12:14:42 <moneromooo> Dialling up... Now at 12 minutes per 1000... Dialling up a bit more...
12:15:42 <atomic557[m]> top says 160% cpu on two cores
12:15:48 <atomic557[m]> wa is 1.4
12:18:51 <hv-bridge> <kaloo> What is the pool address?!
12:20:30 <atomic557[m]> i remember the last time i used monero a few year ago that the last percentages are tedious but this...
12:21:13 <moneromooo> 1.4 wa% is ok
12:21:26 <moneromooo> Is your CPU a bit crap ?
12:21:57 <moneromooo> Like, raspberry pi ?
12:22:15 <atomic557[m]> ~10years old and runs proxmox
12:22:29 <atomic557[m]> but the first like 80% went smooth
12:23:03 <selsta> the last blocks taking longer is normal
12:23:11 <moneromooo> The first N%, with N plausibly about 80% (though I'd expect more like 90%) are fast, as various checks are skipped provided hashes match shipping known good hashes.
12:34:43 <atomic557[m]> You think the crappy cpu is slowing everything down? But cpu workload is overall only between 60-80%
12:35:30 <moneromooo> 80% means it's working a fair bit of the time.
12:36:01 <moneromooo> But you can run "sync_info" and check the mooooo line. It should start with 'm'atching and have a number of 'o' after it.
12:36:15 <moneromooo> If not, it'll wait from time to time for stuff to be downloaded.
12:37:23 <moneromooo> '.' means requested but not yet received. Other things indicate weirdness.
12:39:57 <atomic557[m]> [m...........oooo.ooo.....o..o....o..
12:41:25 <atomic557[m]> Not sure if i understand correctly so more dots are a bad thing?
12:43:55 <atomic557[m]> Wait now i only get o´s
12:45:26 <moneromooo> Then Siren[m] was on to something, it's waiting on network.
12:46:08 <moneromooo> Your mooo line shows the next block span that's needed is ready, but the next dozen or so are not downlaoded yet. And you have a few down the line ready to go.
12:46:29 <moneromooo> So once it's finished adding the next span (usually 20 blcks), it'll wait, unless it's received that span by then.
12:46:53 <moneromooo> But 80% CPU usage means it's not waiting very long anyway.
12:47:07 <moneromooo> Unless your CPU is being used by other programs I guess.
12:50:59 <atomic557[m]> i had to restart monerod be4 maybe thats why i got dots at the begining... now i only get o´s
12:52:14 <atomic557[m]> moneromooo: i am runing proxmox with 3 other linux containers atm but the 80% are only for the monero container
12:55:07 <atomic557[m]> but yea i think my cpu is the problem
13:19:09 <plowsof11> dialup aka tor? 
13:20:16 <ofrnxmr[m]> I dont have such problems with tor, even during ddos
13:21:45 <ofrnxmr[m]> Sounds like one of
13:21:45 <plowsof11> syncing a node on whonix from top to bottom how long sirs please advise 
13:21:45 <ofrnxmr[m]> too many connections on bad network = limit connections 
13:21:45 <ofrnxmr[m]> Bad peers = add a good one or delete the peerlist 
13:21:45 <ofrnxmr[m]> Old monero version = I hope not
21:22:11 <M10934dfasl[m]> is there any good monero research paper / academic articles besides the whitepaper, and book? 
21:22:16 <M10934dfasl[m]> s/is/are/
21:22:20 <M10934dfasl[m]> s/is/are/, s/paper/papers/
21:22:26 <M10934dfasl[m]> s/is/are/, s/paper/papers/, s/book/2 books/
21:30:23 <ofrnxmr[m]> Dont think so
21:30:27 <ofrnxmr[m]> (Joking)
21:31:38 <plowsof11> searching is a bit janky moneroresearch.info (alot of papers have 'monero' in the title too)
21:32:41 <ofrnxmr[m]> You did ask for research hehe
