<l​ycax44:monero.social> what do you think about increasing my BTC:XMR proportion from 90:10 to 75:25

<l​ycax44:monero.social> on one side the XMRBTC price is at all-time low, on the other side monero is going to be delisted from all the major exchanges, so the price could plummet even more

<l​ycax44:monero.social> (I get paid in Monero and don't hold any other kleptocurrencies)

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Will it plummet or go up

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> No price suppression

Anyone else having other nodes report incorrect block height?

i had to put up --block-sync-size 10 flag

<l​ycax44:monero.social> was there precedent of major cryptocurrency being pulled off exchanges over legal/compliance stuff?

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> You’re going to want to lose at least 20 monero due to a “demagnetized hard drive”, and accidentally find or recover the seed 50 years from now.

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Anything over that no one should know what you own.

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> In fact you own 0 monero 😎.

will have to scuba dive to retrieve the seed from the wrecked boat

so binance will delist xmr?

Infinity8 logs? Paste.debian.net

<d​ooropener:monero.social> If you say it to make a case that mining crypto is good for the environment, that will make a great joke.

<e​laryan:hackliberty.org> Mining crypto is good for the environment. It creates CO2 emissions that are good for plants, makes them grow.

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> I have to make the argument because there’s idiots who won’t accept something that benefits them because they think it’s destroying the environment.

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> In order for global, and mass adoption we have to debunk myths, and lies about crypto.

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Unfortunately, that includes informing the dumbest people in our society how things work.

hey my connection broke off so I couldn't see the answers sadly. So I'll ask again, if you run a node with server=0 / listen=0, does that mean your node only receives the blockchain information but does not offer itself as a node for other to commit transactions?

reverseducky monerologs.net may have logged it (assuming you received help)

plowsof: thank you, it seems that my message was never sent, maybe I had it on the text input area before moving.

<e​rwan00:matrix.org> Hi

<e​rwan00:matrix.org> Following too much writing load on my SSD drive by the Gui Wallet in Simple mode (bootstrap), I switched to Simple mode. My restore height is block 2004000. This time the SSD is not overly stressed, but it's been going on for a while and it's not ready to be finished. I thought in this simple mode things were much faster. I am wrong?

<e​dge7:matrix.org> Bootstrap mode" is called in the GUI Simple mode (Bootstrap) but shouldn't be confused with Simple mode. What does it do? It connects you temporarily to a remote node, while downloading the blockchain in the background, but without telling you about the blockchain download process, and without telling you that you are connected to a remote node. Once the blockchain download in <clipped message>

<e​dge7:matrix.org> the background is completed, you become a local node.

<e​rwan00:matrix.org> Yes I agree. So in simple mode, since there is no download of the blockchain, recovering the data from block 2004000 (around early January 2020) should not take any time, right?

wrong

the wallet still needs to read every block from January 2020 till now

<e​rwan00:matrix.org> And reading the blocks takes as long as downloading them?

certainly. how else can it access them, if not downloading?

<e​rwan00:matrix.org> OK, thanks
