is monero great or is monero great?

Thats a leading question officer

I dont know who that is sir

FYI I've published a general fund transparency report: reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/11fslu…fund_transparency_report_march_2023

binaryFate: Thumbs up

Lol

👍

Like that?

+1 :-o

I just saw Majestic Bank's logo in the r/cryptocurrency banner, nice way to introduce privacy and XMR to normies

thumbs_up

am i doing this right mom

fried-feds pls stop using windows

xfedex[m]: i didn't steal this username for nothing

stole from who?

can somebody explain to me how a remote hidden service is chosen when I use --tx-proxy?

is it random each time the node restarts or does it stick to the same node?

how does it get the list of available nodes?

If you have txproxy and anon inbound setup they will relay tx to your onion peers

i mean for local txs

Im a bit confused what your talking about though

so if i restart my monerod node

will it try to reconnect to the last hidden service it was using for tx-proxy

or randomly select it again

Txproxy and anon inbound are for relaying tx among other days, txproxy isnt your rpc

sticky behavior

--tx-proxy forces local txs to be broadcat through hidden services

"The last service it was using" txproxy doesnt connect to "1 onion/I2p" node

You have many peers. It chooses one

are the peers sticky then?

on restart

You are connected to many peers at once. No, they stent sticky, your node will rotate peers regularly

thanks

what do you mean txproxy isnt your rpc

Although there arent many tor nodes so you'll usually be cycling between the same 20-40 or so

i am correct that when i generate tx through monero-wallet-cli with monerod --tx-proxy enabled it will go through hidden service right?

Your rpc onion comes in over 18089

Txproxy proxies that to onion nodes

so if i stop my node, get new tor identity and then restart node

You're connecting to onions..

Doesn't make a difference

yes it does

new circuits

Alrighty

is that sarcastic?

you understand it gives you new circuits right?

monerodtxproxy[m: Continue your question ^

i answered my question in the process of explaining

i thought i could stop, new identity, start

but the remote node can correlate the connections and disconnections

Yep

And your lagged behind blockheight

so it doesnt achieve anything if i get unlucky and select same nodes

And your onion will be on oeerlists and obvious as to when itbreconnected

But hey, you like flipping switches 👍

Always fun doing top opsec wrong

i havent done anything wrong

im coming up with the idea

And trying to tell me switching circuits is a good thing before figuring it out on your own 😅

my assumption was a single remote node was used as tx proxy

wihch would make circuit solution valid

Switching circuits + shutting down a service that is connected to many other people and then reconnecting with a known address (onion)

When simply using an onion does the job

But hey, im wrong so 🙃

what do you mean simply using an onio

if you just use an onion then you send multiple txs over same circuit

it doesnt periodically drop connections like is documented

Is there a problem with the monero network?

Sir, why whatsup?

I am syching the block chain and I am getting the following message.

SYNCHRONIZATION started

2023-03-03 00:46:48.232 W There were 0 blocks in the last 90 minutes, there might be large hash rate changes, or we might be partitioned, cut off from the Monero network or under attack, or your computer's time is off. Or it could be just sheer bad luck.

2023-03-03 00:46:51.558 I [72.21.17.69:18080 OUT] Sync data returned a new top block candidate: 2679402 -> 2833490 [Your node is 154088 blocks (7.0 months) behind]

Something happened to your connections

Lol

Are you running gui, cli, on windows, linux, or mac?

Oh wait nvm

7 months

Your running v17.3

.2

Cli

We're on v18 now

Update cli to 18.2.0 (18+ is fine)

There was a hardfork last August

Actually while I am here how do I update the cli?

Getmonero.org > downloads > download > extract

I help run my local blockchain meetup. So I really just bust this computer out for that and I am mining monero as an example for noobies

So that is probably why I am behind.

Itd because youre running v17.3.2 or earlier. Most likely

You have to run 18+

Ok so how do I update is there a simple update command with yum? Or what?

I am UTFS but maybe you can save me some time.

ofrnxmr[m]: ^

I could give you a direct link but I have no idea what system you are running

Ya didnt answer

Manjaro

Can I just use the official site.

<ofrnxmr[m]> "Your running v17.3" <- ??? resetting the counter again seriously?

jamaikos[xmpp]: ow

Getmonero.org > downloads > download > extract

Will do thanks guys

@plowsof11 what do you mean by that?

resetting the counter again?

N days since customer states: im using the pre hard fork version from 7 months ago

The name Sir doesnt help 😆😆

LoL I have a legit excuse

customer states: can't see monero, and my car doesn't start -> instructed customer to update software , and turn the key in the ignition fully (not just the first click)

issue solved

cars no longer have keys

:'(

Why whats wrong with Sir?

Sir asks the same question everyday
