<3​21bob321:monero.social> double spend?

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> Chain reorganization!

<s​trawberry:monero.social> same thing happened to me after a crash, room renamed itself to "izzy and 4 others" and the monero icon disappeared

<s​trawberry:monero.social> still hasn't fixed itself, I got used to it already

<r​eal_glitch:matrix.org> same here

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> weird things are happening. Some matrix.org channel rollbacked to my previous profile picture

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> and it was like almost 3 months ago

<3​21bob321:monero.social> cached

<l​uckyfindings:matrix.org> @SyntheticBird, totally unrelated to the potential matrix meltdown.. but am like ur cat! ₛᵤₚₑᵣ ᶜᵤₜₑ

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> haha lol thx, its not mine. I found it on kycnotme but it is so cute, a real furr ball

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> knowyourmeme* my bad

<l​uckyfindings:matrix.org> classic COPY CAT xD

<l​uckyfindings:matrix.org> criminal pawdulency

<s​tarlingfarchecker:monero.social> Now figure out how to anonymously perform a class action suit, we’ll be golden

Just like how you register an anonymous sim. You get a hobo from the street to use his passport for identification.

<s​tarlingfarchecker:monero.social> Btw this might be of use to you ppl

From what I heard, the free SMS services' numbers are all used up - might only work on some relatively obscure service. The meat is now on paid ones, although have not tried so idk about their rate of success on the big services either. Know for sure it is higher though.

<s​tarlingfarchecker:monero.social> Do you guys know if this is still operating? gratuitas.org .

<s​tarlingfarchecker:monero.social> I wanna buy some coffee w monero

<g​wm:matrix.org> I'll repeat my question from offtopic, since I don't think it's actually offtopic :)

<g​wm:matrix.org> Is there a good method (e.g. a website) to check the current size of blockchain (assuming you don't have it downloaded)?

<g​wm:matrix.org> It seems to be 200G now

<g​wm:matrix.org> ```

<g​wm:matrix.org> du -sh .bitmonero/lmdb

<g​wm:matrix.org> 200G .bitmonero/lmdb

<g​wm:matrix.org> ```

<g​wm:matrix.org> but

<g​wm:matrix.org> * 'raw blockchain' on getmonero seems to be very outdated (the file size is 86G)

<g​wm:matrix.org> * bitinfocharts.com/monero is even more outdated and says the size is 63G

<g​wm:matrix.org> * moneroj.net/blockchainsize seems to be up-to-date (according to the chart) but says the size is 146G..

I think some of those are pruned sizes

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> the getmonero blockchain is pruned yes, a PR which seeks to have it removed if anyone is interested monero-project/monero-site #2241

<g​wm:matrix.org> Yeah, might be

<g​wm:matrix.org> I'm wondering what's wrong with moneroj, why is the chart shows the current date, but 146G as size..

<g​wm:matrix.org> Oh I see, thanks for the info

<g​wm:matrix.org> The reason I'm asking about this is that I'm updating one of the user guides on the getmonero, and it has the following line

<g​wm:matrix.org> ```

<g​wm:matrix.org> You can estimate how much space you need by checking the size of the [raw blockchain]({{ site.baseurl }}/downloads/#blockchain).

<g​wm:matrix.org> ```

<g​wm:matrix.org> which either needs to be removed (and replaced with hardcoded value like "ensure it has at least 250G of space") or replaced with something up-to-date
