<g​ee:matrix.start9labs.com> Hey kayabanerve, wrt full chain memberships, could something like this apply / help?

<g​ee:matrix.start9labs.com> nitter.poast.org/n1ckler/status/1790758313992327258

<k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> They're also using Curve Trees. They have much worse performance so I'm unsure help is possible in this direction. I should stop by and let them know though.

<h​anshan:monero.social> whats wrong with OTR?

<h​anshan:monero.social> except that you cant get messages offline etc...

hanshan, "needing both participants online" is a pretty significant downside. Also it means only 1-to-1, so no using several devices.

Hello!

I had the Monero blockchain downloaded on my laptop ~3 years ago. It took a few days as I did & do not have an SSD. But since then I did not run the daemon and now I want to get the rest of the blockchain, but it says that the rest will take much longer:

> Synced 2422043/3154526 (76%, 732483 left, 0% of total synced, estimated 2.2 months left)

The first 75% which I downloaded 3 years ago took only a couple of days whereas the remaining 25% is said to take >2 months. Any ideas on how to improve the situation?

will take a long time but 2 months seems like not an accurate estimate

make sure that you are running the latest version

it will have the most updated checkpoints

it is normal for the beginning of the chain syncs fast and then get slower as the number of txs per block gets larger

> make sure that you are running the latest version

Actually downloaded it 3 days ago since it didn't look so good, but it didn't change anything, surprisingly.

I might try to do it nonetheless. More specifically, you are suggesting me to run monerod binary of v0.18.3.3, right?

...try to do it again* nonetheless...

No need, running version gave me the following:

> 0.18.3.3-release

yes 0.18.3.3 is the latest

I synced from the beginning a month ago using an SSD and it took ~24 hrs

I'd be happy with a week :').

the last few months of the chain will be the slowest as there were many txs

a week would be best case, probably a bit more

no idea about HDDs nowadays

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> If you want to run a monero node on a HDD I recommend first synchronizing it on a SSD, then copying it on a HDD

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> Then running the monerod there

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> Then running the monerod there, you won't have to wait 1 week for the sync

<j​ohndoe427:matrix.org> It would probably be insane on an HDD these days. It was for me back when it was only 50gigs, so I can only imagine now. I refused to use SSDs back then, but I think maybe Nihilist [blog.nihilism.network]: is on to something with his idea of switching it from SSD to HDD to speed things up if one prefers HDDs.

I did not expect the switch from HDD to SSD to be this breathtaking.

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> ./monerod, I am trying to setup the CLI node but I cannot install it with an RPi. Why am I being told "Permission denied"

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/WYtTiFrLpHQxpZbwbbKFrXrP

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> I am following a guide from Mental Outlaw where he is able to run ..monerod with no problems.

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/rkEbqHrHpKsaSeoXRXBCXwSz

<s​needlewoods:monero.social> With `ls -l` you should be able to see who owns `monerod` and with `chown PiXMR monerod` you can change the owner (have to prefix `sudo ` if owned by root)

looks like it's a permission problem

<e​dge7:matrix.org> You should be able to fix the permission. Have you tried?

<e​dge7:matrix.org> Can you run ls -l

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> 256013 monerod

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> ls -i 256013 monerod

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> ls-I just listed the folder contents minus monerod

<e​dge7:matrix.org> Take a screenshot, don't be lazy. It lists files, users and groups

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/dtbbFaYeRDoGiXLPWseEKCWd

<e​dge7:matrix.org> ls -l

<e​dge7:matrix.org> L lowercase not i

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> -rwxr-xr-x 1 PiXMR PiXMR 24548392 Mar 12 16:46 monerod

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> -rwxr-xr-x 1 PiXMR PiXMR 24548392 Mar 12 21:46 monerod

<e​dge7:matrix.org> It has execution permission for your user. Looking at your screenshot it looks like you have given it and tried to execute but it's complaining about the binary.

<e​dge7:matrix.org> Have you downloaded the monero version that fits the RPI architecture, aka Arm?

<e​dge7:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/rsJqzmLSiixgdNbNJMWhDnLE

<e​dge7:matrix.org> If you have rpi3+ probably you want arm v8 version

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> I will try that. Thanks for your help.

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> Same error even with ARMv8.

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> Hell yea, chmod +x worked, installing now.

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> Hell yea, chmod +x worked, <del>installing now.</del> Must setup to install on my SSD attached to my RPi, at least a way forward.

Has anyone tried running Monero binaries on OpenBSD (Specifically FreeBSD)? I don't think it will work but there is a glimpse of hope :).

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> I have my SSD attached to my RPi, how I get it to show on terminal so I get the node installed on it?

<5​m5z3q888q5prxkg:chat.lightnovel-dungeon.de> serial console? SSH?

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> SSH

<c​hiefprivacy:matrix.org> sudo parted -l only shows my 128GB mSD card, not the 1TB SSD.

pixificial: it should work, yes

selsta: Cool, thanks :).

<p​reland:matrix.org> Completely unrelated; this reminded me that when I upgraded from 8GB to 32GB of RAM that I forgor that 4GB of RAM magically vanished

<p​reland:matrix.org> Should probably check on that, I can’t let the feds keep running their shadow VM on my system forever

<c​haser:monero.social> what are all the required config entries for running a node that makes connections exclusively through Tor, but is not a public node?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> If I understood correctly. github.com/monero-project/monero#using-tor Should answer your question

ugh

just noticed that the using-tor part is outdated

using --proxy is preferred over torsocks

<c​haser:monero.social> SyntheticBird this^ is why I'm asking for an explicit entry set. I found a dozen or so guides, some obviously wrong, some ambiguous. monerod usage on Tor seems to be very underdocumented.

if you want all traffic over Tor, use `--proxy 127.0.0.1:9050` (or whatever port you use), if you want transactions over Tor and blocks over clearnet use `--tx-proxy`, see github.com/monero-project/monero/bl…b/master/docs/ANONYMITY_NETWORKS.md for more info
