07:15:14 100 is quite tight, even for a pruned node 07:33:01 Pruned node right now: 95 GB 07:33:22 Full node right now: 277.5 GB 07:33:59 I'm running both types of nodes on different servers 07:38:23 And you need space for the OS, so a pruned node wouldn't fit easily on 100GB. 07:38:35 Also, is there any way to un-prune a node? 07:42:11 No 07:42:17 Only sync again from scratch 08:43:48 > 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? 08:43:49 @Eager2Learn: Because of the way that LMDB works, the size of the bockchain is going to be slightly different for every single user, which is why most people say "around X GB". There is no official size, even given the same block height. 08:44:48 It is basically empty, plus or minus 1 TB. 08:45:03 And the blockchain is constantly growing in size at a sort of unpredictable rate, dependent on transaction volume, so there's not usually a reason to rattle off the exact size in bytes 08:45:17 Lol 08:48:38 Ha that's interesting 08:48:54 I was looking at the size of my node and it's around 230 GB 08:49:13 So I wondered why it is different than the 277 reported by sech1 08:49:44 it's either not fully synced, or you switched to the pruned mode mid-sync 08:49:58 I can say for certain that the blockchain size is less than or equal to CRYPTONOTE_MAX_BLOCK_NUMBER * CRYPTONOTE_MAX_TX_SIZE * CRYPTONOTE_MAX_TX_PER_BLOCK. So if you buy one 32 Zebibyte drive, that should be pretty future-proof 08:50:21 hmm, my other full node is 246.9 GB (230 GiB) 08:50:44 yeah my node is fully synced afaik, when I connect a wallet to it it works like a charm 08:50:49 it's not one fixed size, it depends on how it synced and for how long it has been running after sync (database resizes are not deterministic) 08:51:10 hello. how do you back up your monero blockchain? i use rsync but i cannot do incremental backups with that one 08:51:49 I don't , if something goes wrong just resync it.. 08:52:15 i successfully used rsync for backups back in the days when i used bitcoin 08:52:16 Is there a good reason to back up a distributed ledger? 08:52:56 Solar flares, nuclear fallout, Noah's ark level floods 08:52:58 m-relay: resync from scratch requires lots of bandwidth, and it's cpu and disk intensive 08:53:41 and takes days 08:54:04 restoring from backup would take minutes 08:54:33 I see 08:55:08 LMDB uses random-access to the data in the memory mapped file. Incremental backups are going to be very slow and heavy even if they worked. If you need to back your blockchain up, just do a raw copy each time 08:55:30 Just a random related question, what's the best type of disk to store the blockchain? 08:55:51 Something that doesn't spin 08:56:18 In the past I had a samsung evo 2TB disk that just broke down when I hosted a bitcoin and monero node on it simultaneously. 1 month and it died. 08:56:42 it was a "classic" ssd disk 08:57:13 could also be sheer bad luck? 08:57:33 https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/2714 08:57:46 Hmmm... Monero shouldn't be *that* rough on SSDs, it doesn't write very often. Probably was bad luck? 08:58:18 i fried a ssd once while synchronizing monero on btrfs 08:58:39 now i use ext4 08:59:49 I assumed so. 09:07:23 If you copy the db, make sure nothing is writing to it in the meantime, or use mdb_copy, which can copy to a consistent state even in the face of writes. 12:38:18 Hello. Is this still the most up to date list of malicious nodes or have there been updates? https://github.com/Boog900/monero-ban-list 12:44:37 Yes 14:31:28 so did qubic happen 14:34:05 pinging preland 14:44:07 gingeropolous i think they 51%'d us and now orphan all of our blocks 15:01:42 @xmr 15:01:43 315.23 16:14:00 not strictly related to XELIS 16:14:19 not strictly related to MONERO 16:14:24 but QUBIC has over 50% of XELIS network hashrate now 16:14:55 edit: they had over 50% for a while in pool "minerlab.io", now much lower 16:15:14 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/EMmYteUexiAthKABrLRFDnqO 16:39:25 To be fair, you need to have a high IQ to understand Qubic. 17:13:46 that guy is like a mad professor cfb or whats his name 17:18:53 But this "fastest blockchain ever" .. idk, they claim they do 15 million transactions per second, where even visa claims only 65k TPS. Not saying it's impossible but seems like a very bold claim. 17:24:52 According to the lib25519 website, a single ed25519 verification is 112841 Zen3 cycles. 17:24:53 Assuming 5 GHz and 16 cores, it means you can only verify 5*1e9*16 / 112841 = 708k signatures per second. Not quite there even on a very fast CPU. 17:24:55 Ed25519 is much faster than secp256k1 and, to my knowledge, one of the fastest secure signature scheme. 17:25:57 Oh, and assuming transactions are 200 bytes in size, 15 million transactions per second would need a stable 24 gigabit per second connection between all nodes. Not quite possible. 17:27:09 They also claim 150k community members, but their github has 300 followers. It doesn't add up to me. Does have 95k twitter followers, but everyone knows they can be bought.. 17:27:09 maybe 15 million transactions per second is possible on a very beefy dual EPYC server running a private node (not connected to the P2P network), with another beefy server just to generate the transactions... 17:28:01 He's just scamming the miners to mine xmr for him and then disappear 17:28:08 150k community members = github followers + twitter members + discord members + telegram members probably 17:32:56 Also what I don't understand / find suspicious are "feeless transactions" 17:33:07 Maybe I am missing something, but it seems odd to me. 17:41:56 <17lifers:matrix.org> feeless transactions 17:41:57 <17lifers:matrix.org> (fees are hidden) 17:42:24 The idea seems simple and elegant, instead of "wasting" resources on computing a puzzle to "just" validate the transactions, the computation itself is "useful", in this case to train AI models. 17:42:45 Afaik understand that's the big innovation of this project 17:44:11 But I am an absolute n00b regarding proof of X algo's, so don't ask me how this is done 😛 18:11:32 that innovation has been tried b4 :) 19:01:35 raiblocks/nano 19:35:15 <0xbatuhan:matrix.org> at where I can buy cheap vds? 19:47:16 If you want to have a look we have vds here : https://servers.guru/anonymous-dedicated-cloud-servers/ 19:48:38 kyun.host you can get basic servers for like 4$ a month, no account or kyc required, monero accepted 20:00:50 <0xbatuhan:matrix.org> thanks 20:00:56 <0xbatuhan:matrix.org> thank bro 23:29:52 I don’t think AI nor training it are useful things. 23:39:24

alguien habla español 23:41:56

tengo porblemas con la sincronizacion de las wallet 23:42:15

existe alguna forma de conectarlas que sincronicen mejor 23:55:01

Gentlemen, I need help. I have a problem with the wallets not synchronizing properly. 23:55:45

And no matter what wallet you use, the wallet guide is the worst, super slow 23:56:11

Is there any way to make them work better? 23:56:33 what? 23:56:40 Hablo 23:56:48 to go https://matrix.to/#/#monero-support:monero.social 23:57:26

Thanks Jackie
