just like my favorite marvel movie

Do they accept Monero?

Muh freedom 🤬

i have a old data.mdb and lock.mdb file for the gui wallet and i pointed the wallet's blockchain location to it. is that all thats needed to re-use an older copy of blockchain and resume adding to it? does it need to be checked? what kind of statuses should i expect

i see "waiting for daemon to sync" with no progress on the bar and "daemon blocks remaining: xxxxx" with slowly increasing progress on the progress bar

<azizLIGHT> "i see "waiting for daemon to..." <- So, what is unclear ?

what is the next step after this status

are there more steps

and is it working, what i did

or will it error out once it reaches the end

Wait for the daemon to finish syncing the blockchain, which might take a while.

It will need to complete before you can use it. Please confirm the version you are using e.g. in gui go to settings -> info

are there copies of the blockchain i can download myself (and verify) and plug into the dir

0.18.2.2-release (Qt 5.15.10)

when i went to sleep yesterday it seems like it did get stuck and didnt move. what was that about. i restarted the wallet and now the number is moving

why are there 2 progress bar

One is the wallet, waiting for the other, the daemon, to finish syncing, a that point the wallet will start syncing, after which you can start using the wallet 😆

Perfect, version is good. The daemon needs an up to date version of the blockchain. Your wallet then checks for transactions belonging to it. 2 separate processes that take time

TrasherDK[m]: thanks, that makes a lot of sense. wish it was labeled a bit better

Wallet: waiting for daemon to sync Blockchain: blocks remaining

maybe. idk

Yup, that's the one.

Oh, I don't remember the actual message in the wallet 😳

If I added tor onion monero node sites from monero.fail with the flag --add-exclusive-node would that then force syncing through those .onion websites and other traffic? or would other traffice not go through those nodes?

No

1. Those are rpc node ports

2. Onion p sync isnt a thing

onion blockchain*

Add-exclusive for onion and i2p only works to add anonymous-inbound configurd nodes

Reading the readme on monero-project/monero ctrl-f exclusive

It explains that if you use exclusive flag for anon-inbound nodes, you also require clearnet

Also require ie you also must use add-exclusive for clearnet nodes

Is it technically possible for monero to sync over onion? Yes. But its not (currently) designed or implemented to support that

I'm curious who would want to _sync_ over TOR. Syncing over normie-net only reveals that you are running a monero node. I wonder if some users find that an unaccepatble risk

Last time I did some deeper dive into monero over tor sync, I've noticed it worked best in feather wallet

since tobtoht did some serious optimization on his end
