03:15:43 C) :( 03:15:45 D) :'( 03:15:47 E) :'''"""( 03:21:38 Lost my wownero and tari and some xmr 03:21:39 Still hope 03:21:41 Start cope 03:23:12 This exchange is 200 years old 03:23:13 why me fuck 03:44:10 Not your keys not your coins 03:49:33 Lost some Raven dust, nothing really important 03:49:49 I don't leave important shit in exchange 04:14:59 I kept all of my dero there 04:16:16 maybe next time you'll use basicswap (for wow) 04:20:42 Hello, I am trying to sync a monero node, but it seems it will take 30 days. I went from 41% to 43% in 12 hours. My internet has 700 Mb/s down, but sync_info in monerod shows 563 Kb/s. What gives? 04:21:11 are you using am ssd or hdd? 04:21:24 ssd 04:21:39 Must be hdd 04:22:30 I have no hdds plugged in 04:22:59 563k/s = it doesnt download too far ahead. It stops downloading until you start to catch up 04:23:55 Paste your sync_info output onto a paste website like www.zerobin.net or paste.debian.net 04:24:05 my ssd is rated for 1050 Mb/s 04:24:13 ok 04:24:25 specifically looking for the mooooo line 04:25:00 And the line above the mooo line that says # of spans and size 04:25:32 226 spans, 478.359 MiB 04:25:37 Do you want the rest of the info? 04:25:50 The moo line 04:26:10 Dont need the ips 04:26:50 Is what I gave not the moo line? 04:27:11 i need the line under what you sent 04:27:25 the actual mooo 04:27:31 [moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.o...] 04:27:33 This ? 04:27:43 Yes, ty 04:27:46 wait do the number of o's actually signify something 04:27:52 I thought it was a divider lol 04:28:21 This shows that spans on blocks are downloaded and ready to sync 04:29:28 So the slow sync is likely due to some IO or cpu issue, likely the former 04:30:36 Is your drive running out of space? Are you on windows and using an version if monero earlier than 0.18.4.0? 04:30:51 A version of monero* 04:30:55 I'm running a T7 1TB over usbc thunderbolt, i've run monerod with a data-dir flag set to /mount/path/.bitmonero 04:31:30 The 1TB is basically unused, 67G including 42G of the data.mdb file 04:32:02 version is 18.4.0-release 04:33:42 i'm on linux 04:34:33 what is the filesystem type? Are you able to try a different usb connection (like usb-a 3.x)? 04:36:20 exfat, i could try a different connection. do you recommend doing that? 04:36:33 I havent tried, but i assume an external ssd should still be plenty fast. 04:36:33 some filesystem types dont play nice though 04:37:23 Since its mostly unused, id probably partition some of the drive ad ext4 or xfs etc, and try that 04:40:56 hmm, i could try that, is there documentation of bad file systems? 04:42:55 not up-to-date, i think the closest is some older tests for lmdb 04:45:24 iirc, journaling filesystems were best. ext2 ext4 etc. 04:46:02 would you expect such a drastic difference between exfat and ext4? 04:57:29 m at start means 'matching': it matches the next set of blocks that we need to ad to the chain (ie, it's right after the current tip. 04:57:49 o means we hae that set of blocks downloaded and ready to be checked when the CPU wants it 04:58:08 . means the set was requested from a peer, and is being downloaded. 04:58:30 Other characters are rarer and can indicate unexpected cases. 04:59:03 So a line starting with mooo is great, you won't be starved of data. 04:59:27 The more uninterrupted o in the line, the more the CPU can churn at stuff without having to wait for input. 05:07:02 i'll try it, but if it ends up being only marginally better, I might as well just use a remote node... 05:09:06 Damn, this food is just to difficult to chew. I'll get someone else's mouth to do it for me then slurp the result. 05:10:22 But, Ms Cow, aren't you afraid of evil chewers who might spy on your feeding habits, and the general grossinitude of it ? Why, no, everybody does it so it must be safe, right ? 05:11:18 gd 06:08:40 lol 06:09:55 if i have a need to make an xmr transaction soon (hypothetically of course), then maybe i need a blender to chew my food 30 times faster than I can... 07:11:24 " would you expect such a drastic difference between exfat and ext4?" 07:11:25 ive obly uaed exfat on usb drives and it was horrible 07:12:34 i wouldn't personally use exfat for anything aside from android (android requires it) 07:16:27 I cant say what to expect, aside from ssd should be fast, and usb3+ or usb-c should be fast, and you dont have an issue downloading blocks. I can only suspect that the problem may be exfat 09:05:09 Hey, i was wondering, does the monero network have any protection against a simple 18080 port block? 09:05:42 Yes, it can use any other port. 09:05:58 Now if all the ports are blocked, it'd be a bit unsure what to do. 09:06:48 yeah, but how does the connection with the rest of the network work (from the node to the network, not node to client)? does it use random ports? 09:07:28 It works... the same ? It will use whatever port you tell it to, 18080 is just the default. 09:08:43 (except privilege ports under 1024 unless you're root which you should not) 09:12:34 guess i'm just missing how the p2p network (like initial discovery and so on), up to searching more i go 09:36:28 qubic planed to dominate 51% of Monero’s hashrate? 09:56:30 initial discovery is done by connecting to a set of known nodes, from which you get lists of other current nodes. 09:57:23 Those known nodes are specified in the source. You can make that part unneeded by specifying at least one other reachale node instead on the command line. 10:21:11 got it, so it bootstraps from there, I guess if eventually govts decide to block those nodes we could still connect through tor (assuming that doesn't get blocked as well somehow) 10:48:46 by default where does monero cli stores .shared-ringdb ? 10:49:09 I had it set to a local user dir via extra flag - works. otherwise it complains that it can not create it 10:49:15 where it want to create it lol 10:53:51 in $HOME 10:54:23 Because it's meant to be shared with chain forks too. 11:57:29 <1​7lifers:matrix.org> https://www.change.org/p/make-steam-accept-monero-xmr well uhh crazy idea but ok 11:58:06 <1​7lifers:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/ojnPVrefVoYgJjPHPlyrNStk 11:58:07 <1​7lifers:matrix.org> ooooooof course ._. 12:03:31 Dumbass zcash shill. Valve would never support crypto, instead someone should make a whole different game store. 12:04:05 It's likely to have much larger initial success, given the "censorship" from payment processors is a hot topic right now. 12:20:15 "even using the latest android wallets!" 12:24:08 <1​7lifers:matrix.org> "is a pain and takes forever" 12:24:13 <1​7lifers:matrix.org> select the fastest node in cakewallet and itll sync in 3 seconds 12:32:27 I mean it IS slow if it's an old wallet you haven't touched in a long time, but it's funny to me they seem to think android wallet is the gold standard somehow 12:38:08 And zcash is fast? 12:39:57 Lol and Zcash isn't private by default. 12:41:17 even if zcash privacy set is 1/4 billion, the feds only have to guess between you and that other zcash user, because that's the amount of users it has 😂 13:26:06 tradeogre still down :/ 13:28:47 Use tracador. 13:29:14 I guess you could say that.....it's ogre 13:33:56 he haz coins on ogre 13:34:48 Had* 13:35:08 :D 13:35:23 Why would you keep coins on an exchange? 13:36:21 To trade 13:38:59 I've seen comments sending coins to DNMs right from exchanges. They don't want to wait until transaction completion and wallet sync, but apparently fine with waiting the jail sentence :/ 13:39:14 Get rekt. Well deserved lesson. 13:40:49 DNM users are the dumbest of all. Tainting monero as well as Tor with their mediocre use of buying recreational substances. Fucking losers. 13:41:09 lots of ppl do that. Even get some issues on github about missing funds 13:41:21 I have seen some of the posts on Dread. Majority are clueless. 13:41:46 Drug addicts arent the smartest 13:42:05 Couldn't agree more. Never trust an addict. 13:43:11 I only trust my dealer 13:46:48 I have +- 1000 USD in tradeogre, I was trading XMR-BTC pair 13:47:44 I hope the website back 13:48:16 Sarai cant come soon enough, any guess on when it will be released, 1 year, 2 years? 13:48:36 I do also but from past experience I have little hope 13:50:22 serai? check their discord :D 13:50:43 I can't do that 13:51:36 The best person to give an estimate would be [@kayabanerve:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/@kayabanerve:matrix.org) 13:53:33 On one hand, it is concerning to coexist with such people on the blockchain. But on the other - I am glad they exist because their mistakes are a very interesting way to learn about OPSEC and LE capabilities. Also they prove that the tools we use are suited for way more extreme threat models than ours. 13:53:39 has tradeogre already released a statement? 13:55:43 I can assure you, their threat models are far from sophisticated. It's nothing more than basic opsec. 13:55:48 m-relay: no 13:56:17 You're pinging the bridge username. 13:56:57 <1​7lifers:matrix.org> user is assumed to respond to eddie. but still, no. 13:57:19 well, no, no statements, nothing 13:57:35 sbt, yeah, I know, I meant those who actually do it properly (apparently they exist). 13:58:14 And the big targets because it's more dramatic. Although sometimes it's just amusing to see them do down in funny ways (hi Incognito). 18:28:02 Just seen on twitter .. *CfB just confirmed that $QUBIC will take over 51% of the Monero network this weekend. Mark the date: August 2.* 18:29:30 It's like the end of the world back in 2012 and I remember the guys face when it didn't happen as he predicted 18:46:29 Two choices: 18:46:29 1. Mine qubic, dump it, but 2x as much xmr, cost cfb $ to keep subsidizing 18:46:31 2. Mine xmr, and let cfb keep dumping 30k/day into building buy walls on qubic to try to prevent a price crash if people do 1 18:47:24 Either way cfb will shout that he won, but ultimately doesnt matter which one people choose. 1 might actually he better, to bankrupt cfb asap 🙃 18:49:43 I don't completely understand your reasoning for 1. 18:50:30 <1​7lifers:matrix.org> someone just ddos his infrastructure 18:50:37 <1​7lifers:matrix.org> could some kind blackhat save us 18:50:38 <1​7lifers:matrix.org> xd 18:52:42 It costs cfb $ to subsidize the qubic price (which implies 325k/day in network security. 2x moneros) 18:53:30 If we mine and dump qubic, he has to keep paying out of pocket to inflate the qubic price. 1 is an attack on his pocketbook 18:54:02 As long as we dong give qubic 51%, the attack will cost him $ and be useless 18:54:24 is it cheap to mine qubic? 18:55:13 <1​7lifers:matrix.org> acquire hardware, cant be any easier 18:55:46 It should cost half as much as to mine xmr, since cfb is subsidizing miners out of pocket 18:56:28 how is he doing that? 18:58:24 Has been mining monero and building buy walls on qubic to pump the price of qubic 18:58:47 Also might be funded externally, who knows 19:00:11 <1​7lifers:matrix.org> yes, from parents money 19:01:03 If that'd be the case it could become a fierce battle 19:15:29 I've met drug dealers/users in real life. There are all kinds of people on public transportation. I was approached a few times right in front of a police station too. You can also join just about any discord server. From what I understand, most of these people use telegram and litecoin to trade drugs. In the UK it was Instagram not so long ago (??????) So using monero and dnm is a 19:15:31 lready way beyond the curve. 19:18:15 Reminds me of how I see graffitis advertising those stores or "courier" jobs :/ Either on clearnet sites or outright on Telegram. Some of them say "VPN/Tor" lol 19:18:49 My dealer literally wanted to be paid in USDC because it was easier for him to lose in copy trading scams 😅 19:19:09 #monero-offtopic:monero.social 23:57:09 sup holmes
