I have 2 "issue" or maybe bugs i want to check with you guys if i should report....

1) now that my node is finally synced i send a small tx to myself from exchange and it did not appear in the wallet even after 1 confirm....i restarted the wallet and i poped up! is that normal?

2) when i have the gui wallet open my screen keeps sort of doing these flickering, like the refresh rate change or something that is noticable.... This is only happening when i have teh wallet visible i think

azerx: which operating system are you using?

Win11 x64, highend pc ...

azerx: can you try to start low-graphics-mode.bat ?

Sure i can ...testing a bit more it seems this happens when i recently started the wallet or when it does something in background...it was stable just now and i shutdown the wallet and restarted and it came back....one other funny thing is that monero is time to time not even showing in task manager of windows! Isn't that odd? i search and nothing

See this screenshot 1drv.ms/i/s!Ag9C_L5-r1Cxifxl7Lx1bvw7EfDtqw?e=7TJaWG

btw my GPU is 4090 so it should not have issue with graphic ....

azerx: Is Windows killing the process? Sometimes Windows thinks monero is malware since malicious covert XMR miners exist.

azerx: I didn't mean to imply that your GPU is too weak lol just trying to isolate the issue

something is off, all these issues you are mentioning are not normal

are you running a insider version of Windows?

0xffc: There is a MoneroKon 2019 presentation on reforming wallet2 IIRC

Status: Still not reformed :P

People don't like to write docs. The code changes so much over the years, too

There is Mastering Monero and Zero to Monero 2.0 . They are both out of date, the former more than the latter

selsta: no windows is not killing the app, if you see the image wallet is running side by side of task manager :)

And no i run the zip version, always

and task manager shows it now, but that is not the case all the time, maybe also when i restart the wallet in the first few minute, still odd, let me try the low gpu thing

the process not showing up in the task manager sounds like a windows bug

yeah perhaps, i can't even find it in the list of processes and then it suddently shows....

i have just win anti virus nothing special + excluded the whole folder with monero

the start-low-graphics-mode seem to help with the flickering with this little test so far

do you have the latest version of your graphics drivers installed?

whats the difference using the bat file? looks low resolution :)

low-graphics-mode uses software rendering, the normal version renders using your graphics drivers with opengl

pretty much yeah, nvidia 536.40

thanks for info

what you guys think of ERGO? twitter.com/mahatma_crypto/status/1685908153433493504/photo/1

they recently enabled nipopows on mainnet

* what you guys think of ERGO as a foundation layer for privacy protocols twitter.com/mahatma_crypto/status/1685908153433493504/photo/1

Let me guess… a link to a chart where ergo has all green checkboxes and Monero and other protocols all have at least one red X

Yes

If it’s not a 10x improvement on Monero from user perspective, it’s a nothingburger

Nipplepows does sound nice though

chesterfield[m]: that is the question chester... they know their stuff;

i now the basics but not the crypto for privacy

s/now/know/

Tell me what makes it 10x better. Some minor tech improvement is meaningless. Does it get rid of scanning, can it be 10x more decentralized

Doesn’t bch do something similar?

is it bad though, that monero doesn't have "Non-monotonic UTXO set" or "Non-generic NIZKs"? I haven't looked into what those mean

Any coin with one of those comparison charts goes right into the brain dumpster for me. I’m not buying your onlyfans and your coin doesn’t have default privacy.

<the_forlorn_hdd_farmer> Every privacy chain can’t and shouldn’t use every obfuscation method concurrently - I’d be silly at best but probably also unusable.

SNeedlewoods: "Non-monotonic UTXO set" looks like it means coins are going into and out of the privacy protocol. I don't think there is any argument out there that says doing that increases user privacy. Looks like it's a blockchain database size feature.

Took the latest Ergo block, with 11 transactions: Seems *all* 11 are not of the private sort - addresses and amounts visible. Solid.

thanks for clarifying Rucknium[m]

anyone know the difference between monerod.conf and bitmonero.conf?

its when utilzing the cli in linux.

great. i updated element and now it won't open

why do i update software
