<mrpump:matrix.org> gm!

how often does the wallet-cli update with the daemon? It just says out of sync, but the daemon is synced

<hooftly:matrix.org> Type refresh

<mrpump:matrix.org> Hi I wanted to help out decentralization with my own laptop, apparently I can get much better hashrate with dedicated software like xmrrig? Rn I'm just solo mining with monero wallet cli

<hooftly:matrix.org> @mrpump:matrix.org: Xmrig is optimized for sure. You just need to point it at your daemon with the --daemon flag if I remember correctly

<mrpump:matrix.org> @hooftly:matrix.org: rn my speed is 2k, i'd prefer not to install yet another software and also starting mining from monero cli wallet is practical.

<mrpump:matrix.org> However if the gain is noticeable by using xmrig I'll use it

<mrpump:matrix.org> Do you know the % gains by using xmrig vs through monero cli wallet ?

I'm talking about the RPC connection on port 1808[1-2] between the wallet and daemon, I have to close the monero-wallet-cli and reload it, it always says out of sync and never updates the current block amount even though daemon says 100%

wallet: Refreshed 3539425/3539449, syncing, daemon RPC v3.16, SSL

daemon: Height: 3539449, target: 3539449 (100%)

<sbt:nope.chat> "Unlicensed" says the most corrupted pigs

<sbt:nope.chat> Coinbase openly launders for actual terrorists but they don't count

I wonder if there is at least hope for them to avoid the trauma of touching an actual prison.

<sbt:nope.chat> BlueyHealer: They still would have been fine if it weren't for NK. Whatever they touch gets cursed. Tornado cash faced same fate but the network is still functional

<sbt:nope.chat> Monero devs are at extremely high risk and it wouldn't be distant future if someone gets picked up. Very essential for them to maintain anonymity

Yeah, very much. Such things are always a possibility.

I am more interested in the chances of avoiding trauma like this, for whatever cost. Because this terrifies me due to not being curable.

<sbt:nope.chat> BlueyHealer: There's nothing you can do tbh. Let's hope they don't throw them in a nonviolent prison.

<sbt:nope.chat> Violent*

But a nonviolent one is more than enough for a PTSD in a gentle person, and that is a horrifying part... So was wondering if maybe home arrest or something was possible. Something that does not cause an uncurable illness (at least hopefully uncurable *for now*).

<hooftly:matrix.org> @sbt:nope.chat: One could argue that this is actually more dangerous. When you are a public person working on a high profile project its much easier to make you dissapear when you are anon just saying. Either way its tough and anyone working on Monero or in the ecosystem deserves a thanks. We are on the precipice of a time where Monero will be needed most.

But your family and friends will know you disappeared and then take the same actions?..

And yes. Hats off to the people working on projects like this.

<hooftly:matrix.org> Its also easy to make whoever you need to be gone in that situation if needed. Ideally I want to believe that it wouldnt happen or get there but its a possible scenario. Gotta run all the scenarios at all times haha

Yeah, I just know I'd be unable to exist under a risk at all lol

<hooftly:matrix.org> I can understand that.
