18:36:06 <m-relay> <l​evi:envs.net> Hello everyone, a new cat just arrived.. 😺
18:38:05 <moneromooo> meow
18:38:09 <moneromooo> er, mooo
18:39:05 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> hi, I am syncing my monero GUI and its taking forever any tips to make it faster?
18:39:22 <moneromooo> Use a SSD to hold your blockchain.
18:40:00 <moneromooo> If you never mined, set your wallet to ignore coinbase txes (though this really only matters for early chain data).
18:40:14 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> how do I do that, also I just realized I never updated my GUI does it need manual updates?
18:40:36 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> version 0.18.3.3
18:40:38 <moneromooo> Make sure your "refresh-from-block-height" (or similarly named) is set right before when you first used your wallet.
18:40:45 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Yes, needs manual updates
18:41:04 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> 18.3.4 is the current release
18:41:09 <moneromooo> IIRC the GUI tells you when an update is available, but doesn't update automatically.
18:41:12 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> I just put 2024 because I dont remember
18:41:23 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> link to monero site please?
18:41:31 <moneromooo> getmonero.org
18:41:33 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> is it the .org
18:41:37 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> getmonero.org
18:41:48 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> https://web.getmonero.org/downloads/
18:41:52 <moneromooo> monero.com is a squatter (but not a scammer).
18:42:41 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/lVEasphZzzKaCIvKTjnpgbAM
18:43:01 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> In my testing, the upcoming release (18.4.0) is much faster than 18.3,4
18:43:03 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> does this mean I need to make block height way smaller?
18:43:07 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> sorry I mean bigger
18:43:09 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> I had many TXs im looking for my history rn
18:45:26 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> how do I move it to SSD
18:46:22 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> dont need it on ssd
18:46:33 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> It says your daemon (or the one you are connected to) is synced
18:47:24 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> It has 480k blocks left to sync for the _wallet_ (not node). The thats about 2 years of blocks
18:47:57 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Are you intentionally syncing back to beginning of 2023?
18:48:19 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> yes
18:48:28 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> im actually changing it to 2022, I need my full history
18:48:54 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Ok, thenbyeah. Just wait it out
18:51:16 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/JWlpJOMRQZIrjenKFViHZTBl
18:51:18 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> am I cooked?
18:52:19 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> No
18:52:35 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Will speed through the first 2.8m
18:58:46 <m-relay> <r​ucknium:monero.social> Goatskey: Are you using a local node on your own machine or a remote node?
19:10:10 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> how do I know?
19:15:26 <m-relay> <r​ucknium:monero.social> Goatskey: Settings --> Info. Then look at Wallet mode. If it is "Simple", then you are using a remote node. If you are using a remote node, you don't save the blockchain to your computer, so the choice between a SSD/HDD doesn't matter. If you are using a remote node, probably there is nothing you can do to speed up your sync.
20:00:34 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> simple yes
20:04:58 <plowsof> Follow steps here to change to advanced mode https://www.getmonero.org/resources/user-guides/remote_node_gui.html you can then choose the node you connect to 
21:30:06 <jamaljr6000> Is antimoonboy in here somewhere?
21:31:00 <jamaljr6000> I heard he's contemplating a dualboot with Windoze to use ableton, just want to say he should checkout Bitwig instead (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwig_Studio)
22:40:48 <fibonacci12358> Hey 👋 
23:08:22 <uncle_rae> hi fibonacci12358 
23:35:25 <m-relay> <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> will it scan faster?
23:42:40 <fibonacci12358> Hey uncle_rae
