hi

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> heyy UwU

i need some help. I want to test the proof of payment and if I go under advenced -> prove check there is a section for check transaction / reserve. I enter the transaction id, receiver address, message (I set with set_tx_note) and the signature I got as a proof starting with OutProofV2. I get a bad signature. any idea or is it a bug?

ok weird if I skip the message it works. anyone know why?

ok I got it. monero gui generates a signature without a message thats why. I have to use a manual way to generate a signature with a message. thought that a transaction note is always part of a signature.

I'd like to join P2Pool, but am seeing diff info on which miner to use..

MineXMR, XMRig, etc

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> xmrig

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Or just use the built-in miner for p2pool

Built-in?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> p2pool is a miner as well as a pool

O

I have monerod running on a headless VM. I've set up a reverse SSH tunnel to bring port 18081 to my workstation. I've pointed my Cake wallet at it, but it only says, "Attempting Sync".

Is there any way to know whether something's wrong?

<e​ddie:oblak.be> `curl localhost:18081` should say "empty reply from server"

<e​ddie:oblak.be> at least then you know the tunnel is working

Egh: curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

<e​ddie:oblak.be> `netstat -tuplan | grep 18081` -> can you see the port listening on your localhost?

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:18081 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5283/ssh

<e​ddie:oblak.be> To me it seems like the problem sits within your vm

Thx, I'll investigate.

<e​ddie:oblak.be> How did you do the port forwarding. Is the daemon on your vm really listening on localhost:18081 and not some other interface?

Ok now it's working. I had to restart my tunnel service.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Is monerod fully synced?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Cake wallet is on desktop, correct?

Yes finally fully synced. Cake is on desktop.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Open your browser

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> or terminal

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> And go to

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> localhost:18081/get_info

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> (or curl it). Does it load?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Nvm, i see that its working now

Actually, apparently not. Neither works.

My gosh.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> does it work on the server that monerod is running?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> curl localhost:18081/get_info

Good test. On the headless: "curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: self-signed certificate"

"curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not establish a secure connection to it."

<e​ddie:oblak.be> and what about `curl -k localhost:18081/get_info`

<e​ddie:oblak.be> this skips the verification

<e​ddie:oblak.be> but your wallet will probably still be annoyed by this

With -k it hangs. I can see it listening on 18081 using # lsof -i -n-P

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> ssl, by default, is in auto-detect mode for monerod. Cake will accept self-signed certs

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> It if is hanging, the node is probably not running

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Run `monerod status` or `.monerod status`

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> the second one should be `./monerod status`

<e​ddie:oblak.be> I wonder, what's the logging config of your node?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Also check top/htop, syatemd, or ps for monerod

<e​ddie:oblak.be> can you tail the logs somewhere?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> first question: how are you running monerod? (systemd, dockern, cli)

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Second: are you using a custom monerod config?

My systemd service has: ExecStart=/usr/bin/monerod --config-file /etc/monerod.conf --non-interactive --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 --disable-dns-checkpoints --enable-dns-blocklist

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Ok so check systemd status

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> And the config file, oh gawd lol

active (running)

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Why are you using a config file _and_ flags?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> what is in the config file

Hmm, good question.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> paste.debian.net or www.zerobin.net

It's not too bad, but I didn't realize I can use that instead of command-line switches.

<e​ddie:oblak.be> not entirely sure, but I'd increase your log-level

<e​ddie:oblak.be> unless ofrnAI disputes this 😄

<e​ddie:oblak.be> Are there logs in your log file?

(privatebin)

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Can you use a different paste website

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Like one of the ones i shared. Privatebin requires webassembly

It thinks it's 15:23, when it's 08:23.

<e​ddie:oblak.be> The debian paste worked better for me too

O

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> I just say you posted on debian, thz

The Debian one blinds me.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Try switching removing --non-interactive and adding --detach

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Oh lol nvm

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Your node isnt synced

Oh, the log thinks it's 15:23, but the headless knows it's 08:23.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Synced 3108437/3452573 (90%, 344136 left, 0% of total synced, estimated 1.9 months left)

Oh shit...

I thought it is finally caught up.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> 1.9 months left is crazy. Are tou syncing on an HDD?

It's been syncing for weeks.

Yes HDD.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Or an sd card 😂

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Yeah. Use an ssd.

Too poor.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> you have an android phone with 256gb?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Sync it there then copy it over 😅

Good idea. But does it make that much difference?

I mean, 1.9 months?!

<e​ddie:oblak.be> can you do `du -sh /srv/bc` .

<e​ddie:oblak.be> can you do `du -sh /srv/bc` ?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> "<q​uantum`> Good idea. But does it make that much difference?" Yes

184G /srv/bc

It's a 5T drive.

<e​ddie:oblak.be> Yeah it seems you're missing about 60GB in chain

<e​ddie:oblak.be> rough estimate

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> I think that G is GiB? If so, 40gib, if not, yea 60

<e​ddie:oblak.be> you could to `iotop` to see how fast / slow the sync is writing to disk

<e​ddie:oblak.be> you could do `iotop` to see how fast / slow the process is writing to disk

<e​ddie:oblak.be> BTC, you have a 5TB HDD attached to a VM?

<e​ddie:oblak.be> btw, you have a 5TB HDD attached to a VM?

<e​ddie:oblak.be> I don't know what you pay for that but it sounds like you could have a 500GB ssd for +/- same price ?

<e​ddie:oblak.be> afaik the G is for gigabytes

I've had the drive for a while doing nothing. I can't even afford my utilities.

GB is bytes. Gb is bits. Typically for storage it's bytes, and for networking it's bits.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Im refering to giga vs gibi bytes

<e​ddie:oblak.be> But you are renting the drive?

Nah, I own the HDD.

In Debian no iotop, and biotop malfunctions.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> eddie its gibi (GiB)

I can't find monerod in Android.

<e​ddie:oblak.be> `apt install iotop`

Sure enough...

<e​ddie:oblak.be> Did you look that up?

Yes but messed it up somehous.

Practically nothing going on in iotop.

<e​ddie:oblak.be> Ha, it seems I've interpreted this wrong since always 😂

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> I just checked the size of mt blockchain

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> 232G but thats 248... bytes

<e​ddie:oblak.be> I'm looking at `du` manpage .. *The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y,R,Q (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (powers of 1000). Binary prefixes can be used, too: KiB=K, MiB=M, and so on.*

<e​ddie:oblak.be> I'm looking at `du` manpage .. _The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10_1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y,R,Q (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (powers of 1000). Binary prefixes can be used, too: KiB=K, MiB=M, and so on.*

<e​ddie:oblak.be> I'm looking at `du` manpage ..

<e​ddie:oblak.be> Seems you are right

<e​ddie:oblak.be> *Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y,R,Q (powers of 1024)*

On Android, CakeWallet has zero network traffic.

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> hold that thought

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> data saver enabled? battery optimizations enabled? if using a privacy rom forgot to grant network permission?

data saver battery optimizations disabled. Running Lineage. Checked permissions for monero.com and there is nothing for networking.

<b​asses:matrix.org> weird

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> so you got it like this?

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/qMQXhXwgBPTDjSFPvRSMLips

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> His node isnt synced

Nah, I just installed the Monero.com app from the Aurora Store.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> You dont have fdroid?

I can't ind monerod for Android

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> You need to use termux (from fdroid)

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> can't be true. aurorastore is downloaded from fdroid

I do have fdroid and try to always use that first.

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> based <3

<e​ddie:oblak.be> you can just fetch the APK too afaik

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> you can download it from auroraoss.com

monerod?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> fdroid.cakewallet.com/fdroid/repo

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> monerod is not an app its a cli util lol

I have Monero.com Cake app. And Aurora Store.

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> monero.com and cakewallet are different.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> github.com/nahuhh/android-termux-monero-node

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> for monero in termux

git clone in Android?

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> lmao

Yeah, I'm a loser.

Not telling me something I don't already know.

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> n-nooo :(

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> termux is an linux environment you can install on your android device

Using termux I can't get onto /sdcard. Permission denied.

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> inside there you have the full debian apt repository, you can apt install git cmake etc like usual

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> termux only lives in its own dir

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> type "cd", then "pwd"

/data/data/com.termux/files/home. But that's not /sdcard where all the space it.

is

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> termux can't directly access the sd card

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> can't you install it on the sd card? iirc android let you install apps on your sd card

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> am i old or something? they nuked that feature 😭

I believe so. Used to be we had to set a special setting, but Idk now.

Thing is, on my headless disk writes by monerod are only about every 2 minutes.

It's def not disk-bound.

Must be getting throttled by my ISP.

<c​:frei.chat> How credible is moneroleaks.xyz

<c​:frei.chat> How credible is moneroleaks.xyz ?

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> holy-

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> that website is crazy

<e​ddie:oblak.be> something for antimoonboy to talk about :)

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> *dies*

<c​:frei.chat> Does anyone know who is behind this?

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/UVOwxFWBFiCuJxseGuOhPtam

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> always fear the chainalysis

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> Abdullahi Muhammad jauro helo!!

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> Abdullahi Muhammad jauro hello!!

<e​ddie:oblak.be> And warrants for searching your house. If they hadn't seized private keys it would've been much harder.

<e​ddie:oblak.be> The hacker was already arrested before the started tracing his monero, so it's not monero that lead to his arrest.

<e​ddie:oblak.be> It's good to be very aware about the limitations of monero though

<r​afael_xmr:monero.social> it's made by a guy called "supertestnet"

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> -20% fear \^\_\^

<e​ddie:oblak.be> Well, in almost all of these cases the target leaked an IP address tied to his identity, used a KYC exchange tied to his identity or leaked his private keys.

<e​ddie:oblak.be> If you are doing criminal things, be smarter 😅

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> enable mullvad b4 h4x0r1ng :3

<l​ordx3nu:matrix.org> Lol I've talked enough to super testnet on twitter. His latest gimmick is sending someone monero and saying that he traced it because he knows what output the other person is receiving. He argues in bad faith because he is scared of Monero adoption.

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> phew, that guy is bullshitting, we're safe gang

<l​ordx3nu:matrix.org> He actually argues that robosats is a darknet market

<e​ddie:oblak.be> Well for he is filling white space just for the sake of it, here and there

<e​ddie:oblak.be> Like: *every monero transaction leaks the amount received by the recipient to the sender*

<e​ddie:oblak.be> no shit sherlock

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> i'm going to get shot if i send any kind of monero transaction because the amount will be seemingly "leaked"

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> cakewallet is government declared illegal munition if you open it you get death penalty!!!

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> xd

<d​ormouse:matrix.org> According to old laws, it actually is.

<d​ormouse:matrix.org> Cryptographic algorithms used to be weapons.

<d​ormouse:matrix.org> I'm not sure on this, but I believe that even Americans are civilised enough to not have a death penal... Oh no.

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> lmao

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I'm glad to live in Europe

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> COME ON ofrnAI IM WAITING FOR YOU

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> EUROPE > USA

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> netherlands even

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> good european country

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> all the bulletproof hostings are located here

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> :3

haha

I'm not sure about that @m-relay, the pay in tech roles seem to be better paid in the US

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> As an LLM, I do not have a physical location

17Lifers, so the netherlands is where the biggest NSA hub is

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> .

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> python was developed by a dutch programmer

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> :3

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> cd/dvd and bluetooth too

python is decent - but not related to the NSA operations in europe

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> cd/dvd and bluetooth standards too

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Most of societal issues in Europe originate from USA

piece of shit ASML is dutch too - sort of

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> meh, no point in baiting as2333

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> ..

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> the asn doesnt even exist

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> lol

you mean, no point in telling the truth psychotic bird?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I wouldn't have imagined you to have an anti-usa stance

I obv disagree, especially in channels full of cops.

what

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> yes

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> all my opinions are mine and mine only

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> (in minecraft)

Holland definitely punches above it's weight

you never noticed I have an 'anti USA' stance? Are you pretending to be this stupid or what

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> if y'all hate the netherlands i should sudo apt remove myself

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> lol

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> i like netherland

Holland is one of the better Euro nations

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> i like north korea

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> bro

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> north korea is good

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> hackers and botnets are good

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> they make up monero hashrate

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> :3

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> i like the in minecraft part

@btc ath

$116,462.00 USD (on 2025-07-10)

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> oh that bot works

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> nice
