<gasperx:matrix.org> Hello everyone,

<gasperx:matrix.org> I’m developing a personal-use system where I intend to perform transactions via atomic swaps.

<gasperx:matrix.org> I’m currently using a rendezvous/discovery node (please correct me if this terminology isn’t accurate), but I’m having difficulty finding enough peers online and available.[... more lines follow, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/krrBgeIKNVBVdGN4 ]

Any thoughts on current market opportunities or new projects worth watching?

Does monero-wallet-rpc only bind and start listening for RPC calls once the block sync is done?

deavmi yes unless you add flag --no-initial-sync

no initial sync will allow all other components to immediately start

and then synchronization countinues elsewhere (seprate to start up thread)?

correct, you can then poll the wallets height to check if its = to current block height

ah

neato

thanks plowsof

works :_

* :)

plowsof: should RPC calls take so long though, feels like sometimes I am waiting forever, at least whilstn the blocks are syncing...

Even with that option you provided

Is some internal lock held for the duration of block sync

?

I wonder if --max-concurrency could be set to somethine maybe...

nvm not that, just gotta wait for this sync I guess

Thing is I open and close an RPC connection, so that initial connection that I get due to --no-initial-sync is not re-used. I should probably look into that

The wallet rpc server does take a bit to start even with no initial sync, i have no idea what you're using but e.g. in python you can start the binary and read stdout and wait to see the rpc init line print. Then make your calls

Using github.com/moneropay/go-monero

Ah some calls require the wallet to be synced

Ah

Could be encountering that?

Dummy me should have read that

Probably

If I remove the --daemon from monero-wallet-rpc then calls work fine as it (the go library) doesn't see it syncing

makes sense

thanks plowsof, ;)

[15:08:57] <@plowsof> Ah some calls require the wallet to be synced

Yeah the ones I am doing are getBalance related

There is #monero-community-dev also for none core help and sharing what you're working on too

so makes sense

plowsof: Will join, thanks!

Althogh seems like my first call, getting adresses, even takes some time. I will let the wallet sync and once that's done I will then give this a shot again

Ofc, in whatever I end up building, I'll add timeouts and all for this, go makes that relatively easy from the get-go (no pun intended)

Just tryna get my feet wet with how monero's side of things work
