02:51:54 <Awaru> is monero great or is monero great?
02:59:48 <DanIsnotthemanBr> Thats a leading question officer
03:25:56 <ofrnxmr[m]> I dont know who that is sir
04:18:48 <binaryFate> FYI I've published a general fund transparency report: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/11fslu9/monero_general_fund_transparency_report_march_2023/
04:33:24 <Torr> binaryFate: Thumbs up
09:15:18 <DanIsnotthemanBr> Lol
09:15:40 <DanIsnotthemanBr> 👍
09:15:40 <DanIsnotthemanBr> Like that?
12:43:51 <plowsof11> +1 :-o
13:32:41 <Yaru_1> I just saw Majestic Bank's logo in the r/cryptocurrency banner, nice way to introduce privacy and XMR to normies
13:52:55 <nioc> thumbs_up

16:41:32 <fried-feds[m]> am i doing this right mom
16:44:41 <ceetee[m]> You might be interested in #monero-community-dev:monero.social
17:36:32 <xfedex[m]> fried-feds pls stop using windows
17:37:12 <fried-feds[m]> xfedex[m]: i didn't steal this username for nothing
17:53:35 <great_taste> stole from who?
23:25:09 <monerodtxproxy[m> can somebody explain to me how a remote hidden service is chosen when I use --tx-proxy?
23:25:09 <monerodtxproxy[m> is it random each time the node restarts or does it stick to the same node?
23:25:09 <monerodtxproxy[m> how does it get the list of available nodes?
23:26:33 <ofrnxmr[m]> If you have txproxy and anon inbound setup they will relay tx to your onion peers 
23:26:51 <monerodtxproxy[m> i mean for local txs
23:27:00 <ofrnxmr[m]> Im a bit confused what your  talking about though 
23:27:11 <monerodtxproxy[m> so if i restart my monerod node
23:27:26 <monerodtxproxy[m> will it try to reconnect to the last hidden service it was using for tx-proxy
23:27:31 <monerodtxproxy[m> or randomly select it again
23:27:33 <ofrnxmr[m]> Txproxy and anon inbound are for relaying tx among other days, txproxy isnt your rpc
23:27:36 <monerodtxproxy[m> sticky behavior
23:28:11 <monerodtxproxy[m> --tx-proxy forces local txs to be broadcat through hidden services
23:28:28 <ofrnxmr[m]> "The last service it was using" txproxy doesnt connect to "1 onion/I2p" node 
23:28:34 <ofrnxmr[m]> You have many peers. It chooses one
23:28:47 <monerodtxproxy[m> are the peers sticky then?
23:28:58 <monerodtxproxy[m> on restart
23:29:13 <ofrnxmr[m]> You are connected to many peers at once. No, they stent sticky,  your node will rotate peers regularly
23:29:23 <monerodtxproxy[m> thanks
23:29:29 <monerodtxproxy[m> what do you mean txproxy isnt your rpc
23:29:52 <ofrnxmr[m]> Although there arent many tor nodes so you'll usually be cycling between the same 20-40 or so
23:30:11 <monerodtxproxy[m> i am correct that when i generate tx through monero-wallet-cli with monerod --tx-proxy enabled it will go through hidden service right?
23:30:21 <ofrnxmr[m]> Your rpc onion comes in over 18089
23:30:21 <ofrnxmr[m]> Txproxy proxies that to onion nodes 
23:33:28 <monerodtxproxy[m> so if i stop my node, get new tor identity and then restart node
23:33:49 <ofrnxmr[m]> You're connecting to onions..
23:33:56 <ofrnxmr[m]> Doesn't make a difference 
23:34:09 <monerodtxproxy[m> yes it does
23:34:10 <monerodtxproxy[m> new circuits
23:34:46 <ofrnxmr[m]> Alrighty 
23:34:55 <monerodtxproxy[m> is that sarcastic?
23:35:00 <monerodtxproxy[m> you understand it gives you new circuits right?
23:35:08 <ofrnxmr[m]> monerodtxproxy[m: Continue your question ^
23:36:31 <monerodtxproxy[m> i answered my question in the process of explaining
23:36:56 <monerodtxproxy[m> i thought i could stop, new identity, start
23:37:12 <monerodtxproxy[m> but the remote node can correlate the connections and disconnections
23:37:22 <ofrnxmr[m]> Yep
23:37:39 <ofrnxmr[m]> And your lagged behind blockheight 
23:37:40 <monerodtxproxy[m> so it doesnt achieve anything if i get unlucky and select same nodes
23:37:54 <ofrnxmr[m]> And your onion will be on oeerlists and obvious as to when itbreconnected 
23:38:16 <ofrnxmr[m]> But hey, you like flipping switches 👍 
23:38:27 <ofrnxmr[m]> Always fun doing top opsec wrong 
23:39:00 <monerodtxproxy[m> i havent done anything wrong
23:39:07 <monerodtxproxy[m> im coming up with the idea
23:39:33 <ofrnxmr[m]> And trying to tell me switching circuits is a good thing before figuring it out on your own 😅
23:40:07 <monerodtxproxy[m> my assumption was a single remote node was used as tx proxy
23:40:13 <monerodtxproxy[m> wihch would make circuit solution valid
23:40:16 <ofrnxmr[m]> Switching circuits + shutting down a service that is connected to many other people and then reconnecting with a known address (onion)
23:40:23 <ofrnxmr[m]> When simply using an onion does the job
23:40:45 <ofrnxmr[m]> But hey, im wrong so 🙃
23:41:32 <monerodtxproxy[m> what do you mean simply using an onio
23:42:30 <monerodtxproxy[m> if you just use an onion then you send multiple txs over same circuit
23:42:47 <monerodtxproxy[m> it doesnt periodically drop connections like is documented
23:43:41 <Sir_Teal_Esq> Is there a problem with the monero network?
23:43:59 <ofrnxmr[m]> Sir, why whatsup?
23:44:32 <Sir_Teal_Esq> I am syching the block chain and I am getting the following message.
23:44:44 <Sir_Teal_Esq> SYNCHRONIZATION started

23:45:27 <ofrnxmr[m]> Something happened to your connections 
23:46:18 <monerobull[m]> Lol
23:46:18 <ofrnxmr[m]> Are you running gui, cli, on windows, linux, or mac?
23:46:18 <ofrnxmr[m]> Oh wait nvm
23:46:18 <monerobull[m]> 7 months
23:46:22 <ofrnxmr[m]> Your running v17.3
23:46:26 <ofrnxmr[m]> .2
23:46:36 <Sir_Teal_Esq> Cli
23:46:54 <monerobull[m]> We're on v18 now
23:46:59 <ofrnxmr[m]> Update cli to 18.2.0 (18+ is fine)
23:47:05 <monerobull[m]> There was a hardfork last August
23:47:33 <Sir_Teal_Esq> Actually while I am here how do I update the cli?
23:48:05 <ofrnxmr[m]> Getmonero.org > downloads > download > extract 
23:48:21 <Sir_Teal_Esq> 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
23:48:34 <Sir_Teal_Esq> So that is probably why I am behind.
23:49:08 <ofrnxmr[m]> Itd because youre running v17.3.2 or earlier. Most likely
23:49:28 <ofrnxmr[m]> You have to run 18+
23:50:54 <Sir_Teal_Esq> Ok so how do I update is there a simple update command with yum? Or what?
23:51:14 <Sir_Teal_Esq> I am UTFS but maybe you can save me some time.
23:51:20 <ofrnxmr[m]> ofrnxmr[m]: ^
23:51:41 <ofrnxmr[m]> I could give you a direct link but I have no idea what system you are running
23:51:42 <ofrnxmr[m]> Ya didnt answer 
23:52:52 <Sir_Teal_Esq> Manjaro
23:53:07 <Sir_Teal_Esq> Can I just use the official site.
23:54:40 <plowsof11> <ofrnxmr[m]> "Your running v17.3" <- ??? resetting the counter again seriously?
23:54:41 <dANBs[m]> jamaikos[xmpp]: ow
23:55:26 <ofrnxmr[m]> Getmonero.org > downloads > download > extract 
23:55:47 <Sir_Teal_Esq> Will do thanks guys
23:56:04 <Sir_Teal_Esq> @plowsof11 what do you mean by that?
23:56:11 <Sir_Teal_Esq> resetting the counter again? 
23:57:01 <plowsof11> N days since customer states: im using the pre hard fork version from 7 months ago 
23:58:20 <ofrnxmr[m]> The name Sir doesnt help 😆😆
23:58:20 <Sir_Teal_Esq> LoL I have a legit excuse
23:58:23 <plowsof11> 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) 
23:58:40 <plowsof11> issue solved 
23:58:51 <nioc> cars no longer have keys
23:59:05 <plowsof11> :'( 
23:59:09 <Sir_Teal_Esq> Why whats wrong with Sir?
23:59:21 <ofrnxmr[m]> Sir asks the same question everyday
