00:15:06 Hey kayabanerve, wrt full chain memberships, could something like this apply / help? 00:15:07 https://nitter.poast.org/n1ckler/status/1790758313992327258 00:42:12 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. 01:17:59 whats wrong with OTR? 01:18:01 except that you cant get messages offline etc... 05:29:50 hanshan, "needing both participants online" is a pretty significant downside. Also it means only 1-to-1, so no using several devices. 10:03:40 Hello! 11:19:59 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: 11:20:03 > Synced 2422043/3154526 (76%, 732483 left, 0% of total synced, estimated 2.2 months left) 11:21:15 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? 11:24:45 will take a long time but 2 months seems like not an accurate estimate 11:25:06 make sure that you are running the latest version 11:25:25 it will have the most updated checkpoints 11:29:02 it is normal for the beginning of the chain syncs fast and then get slower as the number of txs per block gets larger 13:39:59 > make sure that you are running the latest version 13:41:32 Actually downloaded it 3 days ago since it didn't look so good, but it didn't change anything, surprisingly. 13:42:40 I might try to do it nonetheless. More specifically, you are suggesting me to run monerod binary of v0.18.3.3, right? 13:42:56 ...try to do it again* nonetheless... 13:43:46 No need, running version gave me the following: 13:43:48 > 0.18.3.3-release 13:45:19 yes 0.18.3.3 is the latest 13:46:55 I synced from the beginning a month ago using an SSD and it took ~24 hrs 13:47:22 I'd be happy with a week :'). 13:47:34 the last few months of the chain will be the slowest as there were many txs 13:47:56 a week would be best case, probably a bit more 13:48:14 no idea about HDDs nowadays 14:03:59 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 14:04:15 Then running the monerod there 14:10:06 Then running the monerod there, you won't have to wait 1 week for the sync 14:12:05 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. 14:13:52 I did not expect the switch from HDD to SSD to be this breathtaking. 17:39:07 ./monerod, I am trying to setup the CLI node but I cannot install it with an RPi. Why am I being told "Permission denied" 17:39:21 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/WYtTiFrLpHQxpZbwbbKFrXrP 17:39:59 I am following a guide from Mental Outlaw where he is able to run ..monerod with no problems. 17:40:01 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/rkEbqHrHpKsaSeoXRXBCXwSz 18:04:23 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) 18:04:36 looks like it's a permission problem 19:14:26 You should be able to fix the permission. Have you tried? 19:17:21 Can you run ls -l 19:36:37 256013 monerod 19:37:32 ls -i 256013 monerod 19:37:58 ls-I just listed the folder contents minus monerod 19:38:59 Take a screenshot, don't be lazy. It lists files, users and groups 19:40:35 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/dtbbFaYeRDoGiXLPWseEKCWd 19:41:33 ls -l 19:41:46 L lowercase not i 19:44:34 -rwxr-xr-x 1 PiXMR PiXMR 24548392 Mar 12 16:46 monerod 19:44:35 -rwxr-xr-x 1 PiXMR PiXMR 24548392 Mar 12 21:46 monerod 19:50:48 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. 19:50:49 Have you downloaded the monero version that fits the RPI architecture, aka Arm? 19:53:19 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/rsJqzmLSiixgdNbNJMWhDnLE 19:58:40 If you have rpi3+ probably you want arm v8 version 20:51:02 I will try that. Thanks for your help. 21:01:59 Same error even with ARMv8. 21:03:00 Hell yea, chmod +x worked, installing now. 21:12:56 Hell yea, chmod +x worked, installing now. Must setup to install on my SSD attached to my RPi, at least a way forward. 21:20:22 Has anyone tried running Monero binaries on OpenBSD (Specifically FreeBSD)? I don't think it will work but there is a glimpse of hope :). 21:27:28 I have my SSD attached to my RPi, how I get it to show on terminal so I get the node installed on it? 21:30:54 <5​m5z3q888q5prxkg:chat.lightnovel-dungeon.de> serial console? SSH? 21:31:07 SSH 21:35:29 sudo parted -l only shows my 128GB mSD card, not the 1TB SSD. 21:35:29 Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 21:35:31 1 4194kB 541MB 537MB primary fat32 lba 21:35:33 2 541MB 128GB 127GB primary ext4 21:38:54 pixificial: it should work, yes 21:54:07 selsta: Cool, thanks :). 21:56:54 Completely unrelated; this reminded me that when I upgraded from 8GB to 32GB of RAM that I forgor that 4GB of RAM magically vanished 21:56:55 Should probably check on that, I can’t let the feds keep running their shadow VM on my system forever 23:00:57 what are all the required config entries for running a node that makes connections exclusively through Tor, but is not a public node? 23:16:17 If I understood correctly. https://github.com/monero-project/monero#using-tor Should answer your question 23:22:39 ugh 23:22:45 just noticed that the using-tor part is outdated 23:23:26 using --proxy is preferred over torsocks 23:50:44 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. 23:52:33 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 https://github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/master/docs/ANONYMITY_NETWORKS.md for more info
