05:22:17 <testone> not having to enable js to pass anubis is a big improvement for me
05:22:46 <testone> still preferable not to have any such stupid 'challenges'
16:15:19 <narf> how good is monero
16:23:30 <m-relay> <1​7lifers:matrix.org> it makes you rich
16:23:34 <m-relay> <1​7lifers:matrix.org> buy when low enjoy when high
16:24:41 <m-relay> <w​ritemarble:matrix.org> Use wen high buy wen low
16:34:22 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Use wen high***.***
16:34:29 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Use wen high**.**
16:34:38 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Use wen high.
16:34:39 <m-relay> <b​asses:matrix.org> 99% good
16:42:28 <m-relay> <x​3cc:nope.chat> Good enough
16:43:17 <m-relay> <1​7lifers:matrix.org> the best.
16:47:02 <quantum`> Is a user ('monero') hardcoded in monerod?
16:47:55 <quantum`> I am trying to run monerod as a regular user, but it crashes unable to access the blockchain -- which it of course has rights to.
16:49:09 <quantum`> It can cat lmdb/data.mdb and lock.mdb.
16:50:04 <quantum`> nevertheless, "2025-07-18 16:49:09.810 W Failed to open lmdb environment: Permission denied
16:50:04 <quantum`> "2025-07-18 16:49:09.810 E Error opening database: Failed to open lmdb environment: Permission denied"
16:50:27 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> I took away his permission
16:51:44 <quantum`> The database is world readable, though only user-writeable.
16:58:53 <quantum`> Hmm, I wonder if it is a .conf file setting...
16:59:50 <quantum`> Oh, it is.
17:04:31 <quantum`> Looks like the blockchain uses Greenwich Mean Time.
17:08:40 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Only 3 more months to go
19:34:55 <m-relay> <r​avfx:xmr.mx> Do not, use FF.IO, to execute a XMR -> LN payment
19:37:26 <m-relay> <r​avfx:xmr.mx> If there payment fail (because usual choked LN fuckery), they can only refund your money thru you guess it, LN.
19:37:27 <m-relay> <r​avfx:xmr.mx> Meanin you need to aquire bitcoin, open a tunnel (minimum 0.002BTC) and flush that somewhere so you can get you 15$ back.
