<k​ufecure:xmr.se> Quick question, just curious if there’s any update on the FCMP++? What’s the latest on it? Thanks!

<3​21bob321:monero.social> monero.town/post/6260944

<t​hemisplacedphilosopher:matrix.org> Imagine what will happen if there is a futures trading dex on Tari. Just look at Hyperliquid.

I only have eyes for Monroe

<t​hemisplacedphilosopher:matrix.org> You can trade XMR futures without KYC, without going to centralized exchanges. Then governments cannot ruin us by crashing the price as we will be able to hedge.

<e​verythingxmr:matrix.org> How?

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> fuck governments

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> btw hi yall

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> I am thinking to run monero node which hosting should I choose?

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Locally on SSD, you can get static IPv4 from some hosting, of course better choose from those who support monero payments, such as servers.guru 5€ per month or ihor.online 1-3€

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Actually some ISP can give static IP too afaik, but you can also host node in Tor, there will be no need for static IP or port forwarding, etc

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> wow makes sense

<e​ddie:oblak.be> The one at home :D

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> I cant do that because I dont have good internet

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> that's why I ask

<e​ddie:oblak.be> You can go to 1984.is

<e​ddie:oblak.be> there you can pay for your VPS with monero

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> they are cheap?

<e​ddie:oblak.be> no, they're a bit more expensive, but totally worth it imho

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> i see

<e​ddie:oblak.be> they don't ask questions, you can sign up without providing personal details

<e​ddie:oblak.be> If you don't mind about providing personal details you can find cheaper solutions, and mostly your storage will be costly depending on the performance

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> dude, the lowest end server on that service that can run a node is 249 a month! 1984.hosting/product/pricelist

<e​ddie:oblak.be> that's not true

<e​ddie:oblak.be> it's like 7 euro / month or something

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> what the fuck

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> yeah, as eddie said, if your threat model is lighter, you can find stuff on lowendbox.com

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> oh wait, i see the other options. VPS3 is like 30 a month

<e​ddie:oblak.be> I think you were looking at the annual price

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> i forget what the pruned node is at now, but 80gb of storage should cover it

<e​ddie:oblak.be> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…d/oblak.be/XWXSsvCQtZEgVwPdMDMGsXtK

<e​ddie:oblak.be> but yes that doesn't cover the storage for an XMR node, true

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> 25gb disk aint gonna cut it for a node

<e​ddie:oblak.be> but other providers I have 1TB for 4 euro

<e​ddie:oblak.be> you can connect them over wireguard

<e​ddie:oblak.be> it all depends :-)

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> dedirock.com

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> just be mindful that some VPS providers may not be a fan of all the bandwidth or the CPU and IO thats involved in the initial sync

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> so just be prepared to get fuct and move on

<e​ddie:oblak.be> I don't like to rent servers in the USA :-)

<e​ddie:oblak.be> but that's a personal preference

<a​lbertlarsan68:albertlarsan.fr> For some reason, my node (while syncing) got to more than 180GB of storage used (for a pruned node)

<a​lbertlarsan68:albertlarsan.fr> The 200 GB disk was almost full, so I asked btrfs to compress the disk even more (the instance is a 24GB ram 4-core Ampere instance, with 200GB of storage)

<a​lbertlarsan68:albertlarsan.fr> Now it is 88 GB

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> why?

<e​ddie:oblak.be> Because I am not a US citizen

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> because of data safety?

<e​ddie:oblak.be> Also yes.

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> where should I rent a server or at where you would rent?

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> also you will probably run into less problems if you find some dedicated server options. some are out there for 25$ a month

<e​ddie:oblak.be> For dedicated machines I haven't found anything cheaper than Hetzner so far.

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> what about ovhcloud?

<e​ddie:oblak.be> Also a good option

<e​ddie:oblak.be> A bit more expensive though

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> agree

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> we host our xmr stuff on royalehosting

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> allows hosting proxy n node

<a​lbertlarsan68:albertlarsan.fr> Oracle has a permanent free VPS (the one I mentioned above: 4cores of ARM Ampere, 14 GB of Ram, and 200 GB of storage). You can even make multiple VMs as long as you stay within the limits.

<a​lbertlarsan68:albertlarsan.fr> Also included are free public IPv4 and IPv6 (if you do it correctly, you can get 58 public IPv4 for free on a single account)

<a​lbertlarsan68:albertlarsan.fr> And up to 8 /56 IPv6 prefixes reserved for you IIUC

Free oracle vps? A moment of silence for busyboredoms node who survived only until its 2nd birthday iirc

<e​ddie:oblak.be> Batuhan: lowendtalk.com is a good forum to find out more about all sorts of hosting solution (shouldn't you have heard of it before)

<a​lbertlarsan68:albertlarsan.fr> I mostly use it to have a node to sync my node on my laptop, it is not accessible publicly.

<a​lbertlarsan68:albertlarsan.fr> I mostly use it to have a node to sync my laptop's node, it is not accessible publicly (only the p2p port is open)

<a​lbertlarsan68:albertlarsan.fr> Also, just found this in my logs:

<a​lbertlarsan68:albertlarsan.fr> ```text

<a​lbertlarsan68:albertlarsan.fr> 2025-06-24 09:55:13.994 I [167.235.231.155:18080 OUT] Sync data returned a new top block candidate: 3440899 -> 3442983 [Your node is 2084 blocks (2.9 days) behind]

<a​lbertlarsan68:albertlarsan.fr> ```

<0​xbatuhan:matrix.org> oh thanks

<e​verythingxmr:matrix.org> Bruh

<o​rpheus:envs.net> sorry for that

<o​rpheus:envs.net> revoking their admin perms rn

<e​verythingxmr:matrix.org> Who did that

<o​rpheus:envs.net> Nyx

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> can you guys fucking not nuke a room in less than 2 hours holy shit

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> 100gb

<x​3cc:nope.chat> So ddosing xmrig-proxy with invalid shares make pool ban it? I wonder if it can be scaled to a massive operation and cut off a large portion of hashrate

<x​3cc:nope.chat> en.fofa.info/result?qbase64=aGVhZGV…mVkLUJ5OiIgJiYgc2VydmVyIT0ibmdpbngi

<x​3cc:nope.chat> 500 unique IPs of xmrig-proxies found

<x​3cc:nope.chat> 94.198.54.151:8080/1/miners

<x​3cc:nope.chat> One proxy - 34.000 bots, just for example

<x​3cc:nope.chat> But why exactly pools ban IPs with invalid shares? Wonder how serious is it

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> FOFA MENTIONED

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> better than shodan fr

Probably treated as an attempt to ddos the node. Perhaps monero-project/monero #8827 will help this? Genine mining operations can be taken offline by their competition if so

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> "you suck so i'll boot your hashrate off"

Genuine* as in not botnets , mama and papa operation xD

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> server overload

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Maybe not critical, but those guys should probably disable http API in their xmrig-proxy config.json

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> confused emoji reacted: if you ddos a pool the monero network hashrate will dwindle and the server will catch fire. ips with invalid shares are banned to prevent it

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Understandable

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Bro fofa is superior, Chinese know what they are doing fr

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> nahh

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> 360quake is best

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> does ipv6 and hosts

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> xd

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Cool

Hi! Been looking around but unable to find an official trustworthy information about the blockchain current size. I see 'should be around...' but no actual statistic. Is there a way to know if the blockchain is 218GB or 400GB, etc?

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> if you are buying a vps, get one with 512gb disk

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Or get one with 256 and use a pruned node

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> running a full node on a vps is a bit overkill

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> ^_^

<p​yxmr2025:mozilla.org> a littel node only need 100GB
