08:42:09 Where to buy monero without kyc 08:46:30 P2P 08:48:39 @jueyy:matrix.org: retoswap 11:28:06 Are there any downsides to using --db-sync-mode fastest with monerod if I have stable power? 11:43:38 as far as I'm aware, no 11:43:55 @TheFuzzStone:matrix.org hey, do you mind if I DM you? 12:12:09 @maxlpm:tchncs.de: It already uses fastest i think. That command won't do anything 12:12:38 --db-sync-mode arg (=fast:async:250000000bytes) 12:12:43 It's using just fast 17:33:19 How does it work ? 17:33:19 It downloads large number of bytes without verifying all of them ? 17:35:39 It uses some sort of C++ magic that I'm not advanced enough to decipher 17:35:44 https://github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/f65b2864552f855af1ef58c031dafffa58aae90c/src/blockchain_db/lmdb/db_lmdb.cpp#L1441 17:36:44 It still verifies everything though 17:46:03 maxlpm: afaik fastest is only helpful when everything is stored in RAM, like a RAM disk or so 17:46:22 if you store things to regular SSD using `fast` is preferred 17:48:54 Ah, ok, thank you! 17:50:54 Using fastest may also make the OS load and save data in a different way 17:53:56 https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/p/iv-nsN4KdF9wb25W/1.txt (code snippet, 6 lines) 17:54:44 - safe = fdatasync/fsync (or equivalent) per stored block. Very slow, but safest option to protect against power-out/crash conditions.
