08:55:54 <Buyer1000[m]> Hi there
08:58:09 <MoneroisKing[m]> Hello
08:58:57 <Buyer1000[m]> MoneroisKing[m]: Hi there, King
09:00:54 <MoneroisKing[m]> I do love seeing new people join on this side of monero. 
09:01:30 <Buyer1000[m]> MoneroisKing[m]: thank U indeed
09:07:40 <Buyer1000[m]> <MoneroisKing[m]> "I do love seeing new people join..." <- pls what would be your best advice to me for buying some XMR in the best secure and anonymously way? 
09:09:21 <MoneroisKing[m]> Buyer1000[m]: Well I purchase monero on agoradesk/localmonero by sending funds via mail. 
09:09:39 <MoneroisKing[m]> MoneroisKing[m]: Takes a while, but I receive the monero.
09:10:07 <Buyer1000[m]> MoneroisKing[m]: I see
09:10:45 <Buyer1000[m]> Buyer1000[m]: how does it really work that funds sending via E-Mail?
09:13:19 <MoneroisKing[m]> Buyer1000[m]: Never tried that before to be honest with you. The only methods I've used are cashapp, mailing funds, and rarely gift cards. Those are the ways how I purchased monero so far. 
09:14:33 <Buyer1000[m]> MoneroisKing[m]: I see, I got U
09:29:50 <Buyer1000[m]> <Buyer1000[m]> "I see, I got U" <- what about sending U a gift card's amount for buying some XMR directly from U?
09:32:30 <MoneroisKing[m]> Buyer1000[m]: I wouldn't mind I'm just not holding a lot of xmr at the moment. 
09:33:58 <Buyer1000[m]> MoneroisKing[m]: if so, we should probably talk more in detail about the idea
09:34:48 <MoneroisKing[m]> Buyer1000[m]: I guess so 
09:36:25 <Buyer1000[m]> MoneroisKing[m]: how could I get in touch with U for a 1 on 1 chat??
09:38:01 <MoneroisKing[m]> Buyer1000[m]: I mean I mainly use discord, here, session messenger, simplex. I don't really use much social medias at all. 
09:41:38 <Buyer1000[m]> MoneroisKing[m]: I do not use social medias at all too;
09:41:39 <Buyer1000[m]> In relation to the XMR's transaction would I find U on  the platform called "BISQ"?
10:01:01 <k4r4b3y[m]> <Buyer1000[m]> "pls what would be your best..." <- Use localmonero.co
10:12:35 <Buyer1000[m]> <k4r4b3y[m]> "Use localmonero.co" <- pls any feedback about using "BISQ"?
10:16:01 <MoneroisKing[m]> Buyer1000[m]: Oh sorry I don't use bisq. I do plan to use it later on the future. I just gotta finish setting my PC. 
10:17:11 <Buyer1000[m]> MoneroisKing[m]: fair enough
10:27:41 <k4r4b3y[m]> <Buyer1000[m]> "pls any feedback about using "..." <- High fees due to BTC. Wait for  haveno.exchange

12:50:21 <Den4ikRus> Hello, what is the current size of pruned monero blockchain?
13:28:13 <selsta> Den4ikRus: 60GB?
13:28:17 <selsta> approximately
13:34:58 <Den4ikRus> selsta: strange I did monero-blockchain-prune and the resulting db was 120G
13:35:25 <Den4ikRus> what is the correct way to prune already existing chain
13:35:35 <selsta> Den4ikRus: which exact command did you use?
13:37:02 <Den4ikRus> monero-blockchain-prune --data-dir=/some/path
13:37:28 <Den4ikRus> but first I imported blockchain.raw I downloaded from getmonero.org
13:38:40 <selsta> the easiest way would be to just sync up with ./monerod --prune-blockchain
13:39:33 <selsta> you didn't do anything obviously wrong, I don't know why it's 120GB on your system

13:42:29 <hbs[m]> Was reading "Tracers in the dark", Monero gets mentioned towards the end.

13:54:44 <Den4ikRus> selsta: I see
13:55:15 <Den4ikRus> does prune-blckchain=1 line in /etc/monero/monerod.conf
13:55:23 <Den4ikRus> the same as --prune-blockchain?
13:55:56 <selsta> yes, but you have to sync from scratch
13:56:53 <Den4ikRus> Ok thx

14:47:38 <M-coffeeplease-[> Hmm, crypto gets connected to "crimelords" and "wrongdoing" in this book. Nice book.😒
15:43:35 <Buyer1000[m]> <k4r4b3y[m]> "High fees due to BTC. Wait..." <- thank U very much indeed
18:03:57 <mrcheers> Hi. New here. Is this a good place to get some technical support with funds that have been sent from wallet to another but not arrived at the recipient wallet despite 3000+ confirmations? I've checked and re-checked the txn and can't work out what has gone wrong. Not an expert so now stuck. The amount transferred isn't massive but enough to want back if I can recover. If nothing else, want to know what went wrong. Had the funds 
18:54:47 <plowsof11> mrcheers: what wallet is the receiver using? (Or did you send to yourself) #monero-support:monero.social for further assistance/tech support
18:56:17 <mrcheers> I sent it to myself. Shall I switch channels?
19:02:09 <oldmancoffee[m]> How are fees calculated? Are they taken out of the transaction amount or from the wallet?
19:02:34 <recanman[m]> The node calculates the fees, but I am not sure what parameters are taken to calculate them
19:02:58 <pastel3[m]> oldmancoffee[m]: they are not included in the amount you are sending
19:03:34 <oldmancoffee[m]> nevermind, user error - I was testing sweep all - makes sense why the total amount would be less the fee if you're sending everything
20:51:39 <merope> <recanman[m]> "The node calculates the fees..." <- The base fee depends on the median blocksize
