Why does monerod use so much memory? Makes my system lag every time (maybe in part because I seldom run it and it has to do a lot of syncing)

<jonathan_doe> "Why does monerod use so much..." <- does it? or is it disk cache

I honestly have no idea how the flags work (dont seem to work as i think they do)

inside cake-wallet, LTC to XMR - should you choose 'fixed rate'?

it doesnt seem to make any difference in the estimate

<detherminal> hey?

Hey?

I was just shown this promoted tweet twitter.com/EU_Finance/status/1675438915229036547

Screenshots needed

Yeah

Elon borked it for us

Dickhead

Give me doge for a bluetick

ofrnxmr[m]: which linked to finance.ec.europa.eu/publications/digital-euro-package_en

Sweet offline payments

It works with tap to pay + insurance

Btw respublicae.eu/@EU_Finance

DanrdarkIsnotthe: if this was a crypto project it would be laughed out of the room. Chinese CBDC supposedly will also have this function.

Siren[m]: New daily source of cringe

spirobel[m]: I assume this requirement comes from the lobbying of the smartcard IC industry.

Comedy account

spirobel[m]: balance is checked before going offline> max limits are set ~100$ > everything is broadcast after

Already works with tap to pay on phones

ofrnxmr[m]: And you have a limited number of spends

Anyone here in Europe feel united by euro    

<ofrnxmr[m]> "balance is checked before..." <- maybe they can get it to work with lots of duct tape. In Taiwan they deployed mifare classic cards where the amount was stored on the ic card ( lol) but they counteracted it with lots of double checking on the backend, camera surveillance and not p2p payments only customer to POS terminal

but it is a cluster fucked system

Or, haha, it would imply that the digital euro works like an arcade card

Where the "credits" are loaded on. The merchant needs internet access, not the spender

Mifare desfire 2

ofrnxmr[m]: yes. that is pretty much it. the smartcard fabless company grift is also big in china. And the requirements are just copied from the Chinese. It will be the same trash

<ofrnxmr[m]> "I honestly have no idea how..." <- ... i forgot to follow up

`block-download-max-size=50000000`

something like this. I think its bytes.

<jollyboy[m]> "it doesnt seem to make any..." <- No difference in a few seconds timeframe. fixed: you send an expected amount, and get a locked rate exchange. for the variable, the rate can vary till they have your money.

<DanrdarkIsnotthe> "Anyone here in Europe feel..." <- Europeans are going to be feeling united by suffering

nah, too strong, not for my taste

<comradeblin[m]> "No difference in a few seconds..." <- Actually yes there is

Its just that cake takes a few seconds to update and sometimes doesnt like to go back and forth

To force it to update right away, delete the second field first

There is typically a 0.5% advertised difference between fixed and floating rates

how into monero payment streams?

Hm?

whats the encoding for xmr addresses? base58?

its a custom base58

aha

thanks

> Public key is deterministically derived from private key based on edwards25519 curve with a little Monero-specific twist.

oh man the docs could be expanded a little, this reads a little NIST like 😆

i do like the note though

ok this go in on it in the next page

I turned my 18 Monero short stories into a nice e-book in EPUB format, read more about it here: rbrunner7.github.io/book.html

do you have a story about sex with monero chan?

No. That might be your chance. Turn one into a manga and let your creativity ... flow

☝️☝️☝️🫡🆙🆙💯💯💯

if monero hits 250 eur and stays that way by january 1 2024 i'm getting a monero face tattoo

<naphtha[m]> "whats the encoding for xmr..." <- I'm a moron. Can someone explain why they took out characters '+' and '/' in base58

I understand they do not belong in the "alphanumeric" category, but I can't recognize ambiguity potential

probably so they can be embedded in URLs

without having to deal with url encoding

that certainly makes sense, I just didn't see it explicitly stated anywhere I looked, thanks

reddit.com/r/xmrtrader/comments/mq6…ts_420_during_420_im_getting_an_xmr (he ended up getting the tattoo)

lol yeah i remember that now

im gonna get a monero tattoo anyways

just not on my face lmao

talk about bag holding

lmao

lol

<boog900[m]> "its a custom base58" <- Reading encoding standards is a real pleasure, but now I'm dizzily confused; why does this custom variant not have it's own name? base57/59M or something?

stsh[m]: because base64/base32/base58 isn't a "standard"

it just means that there are 64/32/58 possible characters

how you implement the actual encoding is up to you

for example this library npmjs.com/package/base32-encode has 4 implementations of b32

s/4/3/

hey is blockchain syncing via monerod going to take up the blockchain size on your drive? Approx 80GB?

yes

but the blockchain is larger than that

* yes (unless you prune)

oh my okay. If I want to us a public node, would I have to use the ./monerod option --p2p bind ip ? I searched quite a lot, most people talk about using their own node rather than a public node

or maybe my search engine sucks, I don't know

you don't run monerod with a public node

monerod IS the node

but you can connect wallet-cli or wallet-rpc to a remote node

a daemon running somewhere else
