<redti1989:matrix.org> Whats so revolutionary about Monero that some freaks clame its gonna change the world? For me it's just another merchandise on the market and you need centralized bank money to be able to own some and use them.

br-m
<redti1989:matrix.org> How is this merchandise gonna change the world??

I've never heard claims that it would end poverty and inequality

imyxh1
hey, i'm confused about the concept of an "output" in monero. if i go on a chain explorer, all i see for each transaction is the sender's key image and the two receiver public key. but elsewhere i see talk of 7 digit outputs/TXOs. are the list of 16 different outputs not public for each transaction? where do I see those on chain?
-
imyxh1
and also, when are these outputs created or destroyed? if Alice sends some monero to Bob, and Bob sends it back to Alice, can an observer see that the same output has gone back and forth?
-
br-m
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> imyxh1: In monero, outputs are inputs
-
br-m
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> The real out(in)put is one of the 16 decoys
-
br-m
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> When you view a tx on an explorer, it will show a list of 16 ring members for each input.
-
br-m
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> If a tx spends 2 inputs, youll see 2 groups of 16 ring members in the tx details
-
br-m
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> 1 ring member in each group is the real input
-
imyxh
can you link me an explorer that actually displays the outputs? i'm not seeing them on the first few explorers that popped up (or i don't know where to look)
-
imyxh
ah, i see. the outputs are identified by offsets. so if Alice sends to Bob (let's say she uses an output with index 100), then Bob sends to Alice, then the index of that output Bob just sent is _not_ 100, it's the offset of the previous Alice→Bob transaction. is this right?
-
imyxh
s/index/offset
-
DataHoarder
Offsets are global
-
DataHoarder
Otherwise you'd know receivers
-
DataHoarder
The index is the number of that output in order as included in Monero blocks
-
DataHoarder
-
DataHoarder
-
DataHoarder
The second transaction continues the output indices
-
DataHoarder
And so on
-
DataHoarder
This is different how other TXO chains refer to spends, where they refer them by the transaction id
-
imyxh
ah thank you, p2pool shows it very nicely

<ofrnxmr> "I've noticed that many UK users have issues syncing their wallets and it looks like its not isolated to just one ISP" @monerobull:matrix.org sauce?
-
br-m
<nthpyrodev:nthpyro.dev> I'm in the UK, and I rarely have issues
-
br-m
<nthpyrodev:nthpyro.dev> even on a worse connection that I just upgraded anyway
-
br-m
<ofrnxmr> A) use a better node

Hello

johny_
does someone use openmonero here? I have setup everything, everything seem to be working fine when I check the logs, but tx list is always empty even after importing the transactions, I tried to use curl to call my node with tx hash and this is working
-
br-m
<nthpyrodev:nthpyro.dev> I wouldn't touch openmonero
-
plowsof
johny_ if you are hosting a private instance, i would consider switching to monero-lws
-
plowsof
openmonero only scans when you login as it does not maintain a database of viewkeys
-
plowsof
-
johny_
yes that's a choice, I prefer not storing view keys as well
-
johny_
br-m why you wouldn't touch openmonero?
-
br-m
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Theyre prob referring to the localmonero clone
-
br-m
<nthpyrodev:nthpyro.dev> yeah
-
br-m
<nthpyrodev:nthpyro.dev> I thought that's what you were talking about, mb
-
johny_
-
johny_
plowsof, do you have any idea how to fix my issue with openmonero? that's the first time I am trying to set it up, there isn't any error in the logs so I don't know what is wrong
-
johny_
I have build v0.18.3.4 because I couldn't compile openmonero with latest monero version
-
plowsof
i forgot about the localmonero clone who stole the name lol
-
plowsof
johny_ honestly i would use monero-lws, or is there a specific reason you want to use openmonero instead of monero-lws
-
johny_
well I prefer not storing view key and use mariadb
-
johny_
is openmonero something supposed to be working? if it is not it would be great to write it on the github repo...

br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> @kojikyo:matrix.org: Dvorak
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> It's good because people won't touch your computer (and in bonus you type faster)
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> It's anoying because you have to remap all the keys on most game you launch
-
BlueyHealer
BTW this reminds me of a funny flaw my keyboard has. I am very happy with it overall, and this could've been fixed with a new set of keycaps, but still amusing nobody caught this.
-
BlueyHealer
There is an RGB backlight... But the keycaps do not have transparent parts in them. So there's a light, but you still can't type in the dark unless you're capable of blind typing XD
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Yeah, lot of keyboard have that flaw, It's by design (I think it's cheaper and it still have that RGB flashiness even if it's technically useless)
-
BlueyHealer
It's not useless in that it looks pretty.
-
BlueyHealer
Didn't know it was common))
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Yeah, like my first keyboard with a light back in the early 2000
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> It was before RGB so I went into a car shop and got a flexible neon thing and made my own.
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> But yeah, it's so it look pretty.
-
BlueyHealer
nice
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> BlueyHealer: I think that RGB keyboard with opaque keys, are more common than the one with transparent letters
-
BlueyHealer
I just never thought of that because my laptop keyboard doesn't have such a problem.
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Now they have two type of lightning too
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> You have leds between the keys and leds "in the switchs"
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> The latter one are better if you have transparent cap (if you don't want the light to bleed all over but just want to see the keyboard letter illuminated)
-
br-m
<kojikyo:matrix.org> Interesting, i didn't knew that one. It's really that fast that you would change from a classic one ? > <@ravfx:xmr.mx> Dvorak
-
br-m

br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> qwerty have been designed to prevent jam in mecanical typewriter (and for marketing them)

br-m

-
br-m

-
Cindy_
all ISAs are open
-
Cindy_
you could literally reimplement one yourself
-
Cindy_
the difference is that RISC-V takes extensions from a wide variety of people
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Yep, and as long as you reimplement (not clone), then I think they can't even sue you
-
Cindy_
rather than just a company thing

<kekzploit:matrix.org> I'm building out a platform, in my utopian vision i see some verifiably clean, distributed, monero optimized RISC-V boxes doing... something 😛
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Reimplementation used to be popular (just look at the number of chip you can put into 8086->pentium class machines
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> But more the time advance, the more the chip are better and faster and so re-implementation get exponentially more expensive and are not able to compete
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> anybody any good with golang at all?
-
Cindy_
kekzploit: unless they give you the Gerber files and shit, it's not open source silicon
-
Cindy_
it is a proprietary reimplementation of a "open source" ISA
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> Cindy_: Thanks, a lot to learn
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Is that even gerber files? We are talking about silicon, not pcb !
-
Cindy_
what file format do they use to design the transistors of an ASIC?
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> so, if you had to, in spite of all this, point to a device, or tinkerer, or something which looks to be the best option given all uncertainty, any suggestions?
-
Cindy_
i forgot
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Cindy_: I have no idea actually
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> we have a project like this:
libresilicon.com
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> but de facto, having full design of most CPUs is rather useless for the most part
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> @ravfx:xmr.mx: ive had kicad icon staring at me from my screen for like 6 months waiting to be used, anybody into pcb design and all that jazz?
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> unless you could drill out the fuse 🧌
-
br-m
<kojikyo:matrix.org> Cindy_: this discussion is way too complicated for me i don't even know what's an ASIC
-
Cindy_
it's another term for a chip
-
Cindy_
gan: "auditable chips" lol
-
Cindy_
how do you know that the CPU that you bought is the exact same as that file you got from the manufacturer
-
br-m
-
Cindy_
unless you decide to melt down the packaging and take a shot of the die
-
br-m
<ity:itycodes.org> Mars is not open hardware > <@kekzploit:matrix.org> As somebody who is a fan of monero doing what it can given a given threat model, but also doesnt believe privacy exsists as devices are born compromised, i have become super interested in open source silicon, risc-v and verifiably clean hardware to the max extent it can be
-
br-m
<kojikyo:matrix.org> oh yeah i just search it up i didnt knew what the letters stood for > <Cindy_> it's another term for a chip
-
br-m
<ity:itycodes.org> Nor is the SoC or the CPU
-
Cindy_
chips are the most hardest shit to audit independently tbh
-
br-m
<ity:itycodes.org> No > <@ravfx:xmr.mx> X86 is too
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> Most so-called open hardware is usually just have open PCB designs, and that it
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> @ity:itycodes.org: YEs, you can know all the commands (instruction set) of that (architecture)
-
Cindy_
you have to melt down the packaging of the chip with acid, and look at the die with an electron microscope
-
Cindy_
and study each and every transistor
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> ive been trying to make some sense of this in my spare time:
opentitan.org/documentation/index.html
-
br-m
<ity:itycodes.org> Open source RV CPU? Doesn't exist. There's the XuanTie OpenC910 but that's just a softcore for the C910, the hardware C910 can differ. > <@kekzploit:matrix.org> and better suggestions?
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Cindy_: It's too small to analyse at that point afaik
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> even with a SEM
-
Cindy_
yes
-
Cindy_
it's infeasible to reverse engineer modern chips
-
johny_
plowsof which frontend are you using with monero-lws? I tried mymonero-web-js, everything works fine but I am not able to send funds, I have an error on client side: TypeError: e is undefined after response from get_unspent_outs endpoint
-
Cindy_
people usually do it with like old or cheap ones with fewer transistor density
-
br-m
<kojikyo:matrix.org> @ravfx:xmr.mx: Wait could someone explain me what are exactly the commands ? I tought it was like jmp, mov, ret you can see when deassembling an executable but you made it sound different
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> Cindy_: Everything is feasible with some time, it's just that we'll be probably dust when they'll be liberated
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> the old, "trust always rearing its head" conundrum > <Cindy_> unless you decide to melt down the packaging and take a shot of the die
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> @kojikyo:matrix.org: no it's that
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> the command in assemblers is the instruction set
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> You can go lower (for example opcode, that are generated by the compilers).
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Lower than that you can't (ie, what the microcode do and the micro instruction, and even if you could it have no use for you)
-
Cindy_
lower than that soetimes you can
-
Cindy_
MAME managed to dump the microcode of the 68000 and emulate it at that leve
-
Cindy_
level*
-
Cindy_
but then again, that shit has been decapped and reverse engineered for years
-
br-m
<kojikyo:matrix.org> @ravfx:xmr.mx: Oh, but so you can know the commands of any architecture if you have it no ? You just deassemble an executable and you see them
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> ok so a slight pivot, to go with the better of 2 potential devils, best to go with some chinese tech or something if your in, for example, some 5 eyes country? or, futile due to some supply chain fuckery?
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Cindy_: That's nice actually, but you could also stuff a 68000 in the SEM so that make it more useful (to know what the microcode do)
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> @kojikyo:matrix.org: yeah, the ISA are all open, so people can make a compiler.
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> GCC can pretty much compile for everything
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> or its simply all an illusion and they are one? baah
-
Cindy_
kekzploit: the CPUs are made in taiwan mostly anyway
-
Cindy_
regardless where you go.. unless you go with intel
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> @kekzploit:matrix.org: depend
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> chose the lesser spy
-
Cindy_
i'd rather trust taiwan than china
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> who can touch you?, assuming they all spy on you
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> Cindy_: damn TSMC
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> yh but the US own taiwan, no
-
br-m
<ity:itycodes.org> It Depends™ > <Cindy_> it's infeasible to reverse engineer modern chips
-
br-m
<ity:itycodes.org> A few theoretical methods exist
-
Cindy_
they don't own taiwan
-
Cindy_
it's independent
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> have them int he back pocket?
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> @ity:itycodes.org: HAve a spy to steal the chip drawing files
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> big daddy protect you from china
-
Cindy_
more like everyone
-
Cindy_
because taiwan is the only one with the equipment to make the best chips ever
-
Cindy_
and most of the tech companies are depending on them
-
Cindy_
if china invades, it'll be suicide for them
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> Cindy_: yes, but arent much of the tech dutch?
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Cindy_: Actually no, the equipement in question is made by ASML
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> There from NL afaik
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> @kekzploit:matrix.org: ^^
-
Cindy_
regardless
-
Cindy_
most of the companies depend on TSMC
-
Cindy_
it would be suicide for china to invade
-
Cindy_
at least, that's what they're betting on
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Yeah, TSMC have the biggest collection of ASML machines!
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> and ASML don't sell them to the chinese or russian
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Cindy_: China can make chip actually
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> If they invade or just blow up TSMC, it's going to cause a massive chip shortage
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> as the other big one I think is like Samsung in SK
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> TSMC is going to start the production in US soon
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> am i right in my thinking that the whole china wanting taiwan is literally about TSMC?
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> so the china advantage for that is going away
-
Cindy_
TSMC is not dumb enough to give up all they got to the US

youtube.com/watch?v=vYqAMHQuNPw; "Chip Scan 3D X Ray Imaging of CMOS Integrated Circuits" > <Cindy_> it's infeasible to reverse engineer modern chips
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> @kekzploit:matrix.org: Yeah, maybe, but it's too late the moment TSMC start to make chip in the US
-
br-m
<interestingband:matrix.org> it's from 2022, I don't know what is the state of the art right now, but it will be feasible eventually to doo scanning and automatic reconstruction of IC within any hardware
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> trump got em building in texas?
-
br-m
<interestingband:matrix.org> * non intrusive scanning
-
Cindy_
ravfx: you know about Yamaha's FM synth chips?
-
Cindy_
it took a group of russians many years to reverse engineer and decap the chip
-
Cindy_
imagine that with a CPU from 10 years ago :P
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> due to the tech lag from what we see as ground breaking new tech from the likes of googles willow chip etc, how long ago do you think DARPA had this tech, 10, 15, 20 yrs ago?
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Cindy_: YEah, and that's like old, I have one right there let me check
-
Cindy_
it was OPN2 and OPL3
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> So it took how long to reverse a chip from.. 1993?
-
br-m

plowsof
johny_ im using a beta wallet atm called skylight wallet thats connected via tor to my own monero-lws instance , sgp_ shared it recently, you would need a google play store account to join the beta :( ive not used my.monero personally
-
br-m
<kekzploit:matrix.org> I see more talk of tor usage than i2p around these monero parts, why is this?
-
Cindy_
it took like 3 years or something
-
Cindy_
i don't remember
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> @kekzploit:matrix.org: there more people using Tor probably.
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Cindy_: I think back in the days, Crystal Labs (Cirrus Logic) did have decent reimplementation of OPL3 actually.
-
Cindy_
sure
-
Cindy_
but they could only use it after 1995
-
Cindy_
because of the patent on FM synthesis (which expired that year)
-
johny_
plowof I see, I am looking into mymonero source code to try to fix it
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Cindy_: Yeah, the CS4232
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> Released in early 1995
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> We should go in offtopic, I noticed we where talking on the main monero chan...
-
Cindy_
sorry lo
-
Cindy_
lol
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> lol, I thought it's offtopic
-
br-m
<hooftly:matrix.org> @kekzploit:matrix.org: Oh hai
-
johny_
plowsof great news I managed to fix my issue, I added fork_version property to get_unspent_outs endpoint then everything is working fine now
-
Cindy_
how do you identify spent outputs in a view-only wallet
-
Cindy_
(as of now, without carrots)
-
br-m
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Key images import
-
Cindy_
ofrnxmr: can these key images be exported?
-
Cindy_
in the first place?
-
br-m
<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Yes
