12:54:51 <br-m> <mrpump:matrix.org> gm!
12:58:20 <puffybuf> how often does the wallet-cli update with the daemon? It just says out of sync, but the daemon is synced
13:00:04 <br-m> <hooftly:matrix.org> Type refresh
13:00:47 <br-m> <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
13:15:17 <br-m> <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
13:24:06 <br-m> <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.
13:24:06 <br-m> <mrpump:matrix.org> However if the gain is noticeable by using xmrig I'll use it
13:24:06 <br-m> <mrpump:matrix.org> Do you know the % gains by using xmrig vs through monero cli wallet ?
13:35:18 <puffybuf> 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%
13:36:40 <puffybuf> wallet: Refreshed 3539425/3539449, syncing, daemon RPC v3.16, SSL
13:36:49 <puffybuf> daemon: Height: 3539449, target: 3539449 (100%)
14:03:49 <br-m> <droid192:matrix.org> how to prevent future pool dominance!?

15:16:48 <br-m> <sbt:nope.chat> "Unlicensed" says the most corrupted pigs
15:18:54 <br-m> <sbt:nope.chat> Coinbase openly launders for actual terrorists but they don't count
15:29:20 <BlueyHealer> I wonder if there is at least hope for them to avoid the trauma of touching an actual prison.
15:36:23 <br-m> <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
15:38:39 <br-m> <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
15:38:57 <BlueyHealer> Yeah, very much. Such things are always a possibility.
15:39:42 <BlueyHealer> I am more interested in the chances of avoiding trauma like this, for whatever cost. Because this terrifies me due to not being curable.
15:43:47 <br-m> <sbt:nope.chat> BlueyHealer: There's nothing you can do tbh. Let's hope they don't throw them in a nonviolent prison.
15:44:12 <br-m> <sbt:nope.chat> Violent*
15:49:29 <BlueyHealer> 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*).
16:21:45 <br-m> <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.
16:35:54 <BlueyHealer> But your family and friends will know you disappeared and then take the same actions?..
16:36:15 <BlueyHealer> And yes. Hats off to the people working on projects like this.
16:38:25 <br-m> <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
16:42:46 <BlueyHealer> Yeah, I just know I'd be unable to exist under a risk at all lol
16:46:16 <br-m> <hooftly:matrix.org> I can understand that.
