Whatttt

How

As in getmonero.org?

Or are you cut off from the entire P2P network?

they could block the p2p ports I suppose. but other protocols use 18080 too.

<spender> "my cell provider is blocking..." <- that's scuffed

<Bon 💗> That's messed up

I'm pretty sure the UK late last year banned XMR on fiat exchanges too

<Bon 💗> Is there any other way to get it

DEX's

<Bon 💗> Do you guys have access to trovador.app at least

so stuff like UniSwap, paraswap

bridgerton[m]: I use ledger for my hardware,

s/trovador/trocador/

and then also other wallets like phantom and metamask that I have my ledger wallets synced to

just easier to have someone scan a QR code to send you crypto then having to write out an entire wallet address

<Bon 💗> Fair enough

yeh haha

<bridgerton[m]> "<Bon 💗> Fair enough" <- im assuming you're on the discord server btw cuz of the <bon <3> tag lol

luna24: did you try to DM me?

Alex|LocalMonero: nah, was just tryna read you name fully and it started some weird verifaction shit lol

havent used element in a hot minute

stax

Have you guys heard about the ledger stax?

Yes. But not out yet, from their shop page: "We have received all the pre-orders we can deliver through Summer 2023."

God localmonero is so based

"Monero banned in X country? We'll continue services like there's no law"

Run by chads

Just 10 minutes ago saw their Wownero banner on r/CryptoCurrency :)

Teh wow banner is jw funded

Lotsa burnt moons

Ah, the usual suspects then

<cockliuser[m]> ""Monero banned in X country? We..." <- Yeah it’s great, helps a lot

<cockliuser[m]> ""Monero banned in X country? We..." <- afaik localmonero blocks russia, and xmr is not even banned there

is there a monero space on element?

#monerospace:monero.social

xfedex[m]: Ok thanks. I feel like a crazy person because their does not seem to be an easy way to search for Spaces? I only kept finding rooms...

erembax yeah matrix has always been like that

i only found the space because someone else shared its link

Have a fileserver running a full node. I want other machines in the LAN to work with this one blockchain, but I find no instructions. I gather that I can either set LAN machines up as 'renote nodes', or set up my own private pool, but no instructions are evident.

<dark[m]> "Have you guys heard about the..." <- I prefer the nano x, stac just seems like a gimmick

Don't know, finally room for our long addresses on the display I would say, reading Monero addresses on the Nano X is more akin to torture

And just wait for Jamtis addresses :)

Ok seems I'm doing New Science once again. a remote node is not the answer.

Oof

Ok you don't have to worry about me anymore. I've got it.

<rbrunner> "Don't know, finally room for our..." <- True, granted I’d rather just be sent dai or usdt using MetaMask or phantom and then using uniswap to make it monero, just less of a hassle

Wish monero did a qrcode lol, would make sooo much easier to send and receive

<Encore> wonder what he's talking about

That's the heroin talking

<Encore> he's the lead dev of Lokinet btw

monerod: crash, crash, crashy-crash-crash

<Encore>

bridgerton[m]: Figures, that Session was glow af

... only when started with systemd.

<Encore> >soystemd

Lokinet were involved with quite a few honeypot+"terrorist" associations

Terrorist as in three letter agencies

<Encore> source?

They were involved with 8kun and Brendan and some other *stuff*

8kun is probably the biggest honeypot on the internet

s/Brendan/Brennan/

<Encore> interesting, how was lokinet involved?

Initiative was from Lokinet not 8kun

Btw is that UI mastodon or nitter

Wait wrong article 😭

Here's 8kun.top/g/res/13024.html

twitter.com/CodeMonkeyZ/status/1190663933754925057 (this guy is the main dev+moderator behind 8kun)

Looks like a beta male who is a self identifying alpha chad

Def knows karate

Mebee tai kwon do...

Anyone set up a private p2pool?

{crickets}

<rooter0_> "Anyone set up a private p2pool?" <- I haven’t, I plan on setting up my own pool though when I finish setting up my libre renegade cluster

Gonna mine monero and another coin along side each other lol

The .json config file can not accept my wallet gibberish. It's supposed to accept the command switches which go with p2pool.

... eh but it will not.

That’s weird,

Might want to check this miner channel: matrix.to/#/%23xmrmine%3Amatrix.org

Yuh, and alarming to someone like me who depends on computers following the fsking rules...

rooter0_: it doesn't

the config file is for consensus info

not wallet parameters

They are pretty helpful

those are cmdline only

^^

if you mean something like this github.com/SChernykh/p2pool/blob/master/config.json

DataHoarder: Why is this config file different from others?

?

different from what

Maybe default?

p2pool --help gives the proper switches, and each of these should be implimentable in the config file.

no

config file is not for that

... but --wallet is different?!

but for CONSENSUS parameters

these ones

Ok. Anachronistic. Do you know of any other excepions, maybe reasons why?

what exceptions?

config.json is not for cmdline parameters

it's its own file for consensus sidechains

it's for example what differentiates default from mini (but that's for ease of use passed via --mini)

Ok. That's not in the docs. So don't mess with it at all?

none of the parameters here can be passed on config.json

rooter0_: No, don’t mess with the config.json

it's in the docs, I linked the config file

but yeah don't mess with that

Use the cmd

> // p2pool side-chain settings

> // If you change anything here, you'll most likely be mining alone on a different p2pool side-chain!!!

* Use cmdl

Ya saw that,but this is inconsistent with monerod.config and xmrig.json.

they are different tools

not p2pool

probably should be called consensus.json, but *shrug*

Fair enough.

I'll quit fscking with it.

:D

They arent supposed to be consistent, they are different

monerod and xmrig are consistent in this respect.

happenchance :D

Yeh haha

Thx DataHoarder.

DataHoarder: I'm starting the p2pool daemon but it keeps trying to get out 37889. I just want a local, private pool. What shuld I do?

private pool?

then it will not be a pool with others

Local to my LAN

that is still solo mining

I have plenty of horsepower.

so just use xmrig directly on something that makes the templates

look at solo mining setups then

no need for p2pool

Hm, I'd asked around and found no other answers.

it's an example on xmrig

you only need monerod

as curiosity, what is your expected overall hashrate?

I just want one daemon which tends the blockchain (and maybe mines), and many clients for it.

as said, you only need one monerod on a computer

then each client just uses xmrig to connect to it

nothing else

I tried that but can't figure out how to connect other engines.

> as curiosity, what is your expected overall hashrate?

anyhow see the linked example

where node.xmr.to:18081 is where your monero node rpc goes

you already need this open to have p2pool working

so if you have set this up, you already have it

I have an AMD EPYC 7542 32-Core Processor. I project ~20k but see others getting 45k so am confused.

that will still take a while to solo mine

I have other machines in the LAN but not a whole lot more horsepower.

even with 40kH/s that's an average of long term one block every 90 days found

Ouch.

probably as luck varies up to 900 days in between or so

Idk what accounts for the vast diff between my rig and 45kH/s.

... on a similar CPU.

ram timings, hugepages, msr etc.

Well it's just sitting there, and I need to warm the house, lol...

just use p2pool, it connects to the internet the same way monero will have to connect

but should see shares and payouts straight out every half a day or so it seems

or on mini mini.p2pool.observer/calculate-share-time?hashrate=40&magnitude=1000

shares more often but payouts every few days as blocks are found

payout is the wrong term but basically "rewarded share for everyone"

I did confidence testing and found that hashrate drastically goes down from 25 threads, up.

it will allocate L3 memory and only use up that many threads

that seems like something to check and also manage your expectations

cause it seems not much research was done here as how it works :)

I can only recommend around using p2pool at least, but if you want to solo mine, I posted how you can use xmrig directly :)

So my theory is staring multiple daemons at 5 threads each would get the highest hashrate.

... unless the limiting factor is L3 cache.

In which case I should give up.

it is L3 cache

that is RandomX

one xmrig will pick the optimum usually

also look at ram timings on BIOS

you might be running on subpar stuff there (or default MHz)

Will do. But if xmrig chooses 25 threads... wouldn't two be better?

no, cause then they step on each other

if it picks 25 threads it means there is not enough L3 cache for more

I'm in a KVM VM.

make sure to enable hugepages on the hypervisor then

and also on the VM

... hugepages set in host and mounted in guest.

also enable NUMA awareness

mounted?

RHEL /dev/hugepages

make sure cpu is also set to actual host cpu and not a generic kvm64 one

... automatically. Although the daemon does not seem to recognize.

hmm, that smells like containers, not VM, but you do you

if it's not recognizing it it means it's not proper

if it's a VM it works differently than "mounting"

Def not containers, which I do not trust except for podman, which I do not use.

# mount |grep huge

hugetlbfs on /dev/hugepages type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,pagesize=1024M)

also

run > cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name'

on the VM

and see it matches the hypervisor one

Passed through:

# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name'

model name : AMD EPYC 7542 32-Core Processor

50 times

yay

seems the question is not really the monero part but generic parts of the setup, but yeah read on design and why it will probably max out L3 cache on its own

Understand. Maybe it's hopeless.

and if the host is changing cores on the fly

that will also incur performance hits

so maybe pin cpu cores to the VM

Everything on the host is pinned, incl to host.

25 cores pinned to this VM, and threads matched to cores so no context-switching or cache flushes.

and numa awareness?

Haven't looked at that. Only one NUMA node.

AMD EPYC have multiple numa nodes on their own

this is important for the memory layout

or you will hit limits between nodes

Mobo is a server-grade Asrock ROMED6U-2L2. I did the inquiry for NUMA and only got one node.

On host: paste.ec/paste/mQc9mP8b#iAHPXghEIk-kIKi8Tb3VYPoZL1HpV85+aGYEIkJ1gxe

heh, I have only worked with AMD cpus with multiple numa nodes :D

That's Ok. Maybe I'm screwed.

well, follow the links with some info

Ty DataHoarder.

remember to check ram timings, maybe it can go higher than just 2900MHz

That's something I haven't done yet.

<rooter0_> "That's something I haven't..." <- Check the stick directly 🤷🏻‍♂️

When I was fixing my girlfriends sisters pc her ram in bios was 2600 instead of 3000, and it was a prebuilt
