<eddie:oblak.be> It's an old article, from 2019

<octagonsupreme:matrix.org> @eddie:oblak.be: Maybe this useless proof of work is using botnets.

<ravfx:xmr.mx> Is it possible for the IRC bridge to keep the IRC people connected on matrix even if they disconnect from IRC.

<ravfx:xmr.mx> You know, I don't leave the Matrix room every time I close or reboot my computer... And it's not like libera Monero rooms allow annons to connect now anyway

hey

I have issues with retoswap because of the monero daemon. is the issue known and can someone share some background information why it happened and if there is a fix?

05:21:56 <br-m> <ravfx:xmr.mx> Is it possible for the IRC bridge to keep the IRC people connected on matrix even if they disconnect from IRC.

yes, and no. I can't assure it's the same person as they reconnect. their nick might be equal but be different people

they also cannot be messaged or pinged, nor will they see messages meanwhile

I track the away status for active IRC people

Matrix now gets to share the joins/parts as well :D

Hello. How can i see the process of the fetching of the whole blockchain? Because I selected the local node option in monero-wallet-gui, specified a bootstrap node and the thing is working. And I can see how the lmdb directory is increasing in size but I cannot see the progress. 2 questions: how do i see the progress? When it finishes, can I just copy the lmdb folder from my desktop to my server

and start a node using monerod?

<nhnn:nhnn.dev> sakura1312: as long as they're using the same architecture, yes.

yeah both are amd64 is that's what you meant

<nhnn:nhnn.dev> yes

thannk you <3

<nhnn:nhnn.dev> what does wallet show instead of daemon synchronization progress?

"Wallet is synchronized" and "Daemon is syncrhonized"

but lmdb keeps growing

<nhnn:nhnn.dev> sakura1312: but daemon logs show that sync is still in progress, right? (Settings -> Log in monero gui)

Hmmm. I'll change the log level and restart the daemon, it hasn't logged anything since an hour ago

Yes, there it is. 2%! at 1kb/s :^3

I'm creating a monero node and plan to make it public in Tor & I2P I guess, as it is my node, it would be as private as if I was running a node in my local machine. right? I'm running monerod in another machine in my LAN

<ravfx:xmr.mx> Anyone have the link about the issue with monero 0.18.4.1- (privacy related I think)

<ravfx:xmr.mx> I'm looking ofr the discution about monero-project/monero #10015.

<ravfx:xmr.mx> I need to push it in Alpine throat so tu merge my pull request
