13:26:28 <Bunnyh> does monero have good error messages? ran into a new low recently, nbd-client complaining there's not enough magic
13:26:46 <Bunnyh> didn't find anything about that on google, only another problem regarding "wrong magic"
13:27:29 <Bunnyh> so funny it makes me think of ditching the software for an alternative (iscsi)
13:28:59 <Bunnyh> could be a great user story if someone has a hdd error but monero complains about wrong magic and wallet seems gone
13:41:49 <moneromoooo> I don't understand your question, try more smurf.
13:42:27 <moneromoooo> That said, non trivial improvements to error reporting are likely to get merged.
13:43:04 <moneromoooo> Magic in a software context typically refers to hoped unique enough well known chunks of bytes used to detect some particular format.
13:44:28 <moneromoooo> So, I'd totally see a "wrong magic" error being "the data you asked me to process doesn't look to be the kind of data I need as first glance".
13:45:00 <moneromoooo> If it's supposed to be seen by non tech users, the rewording would be good.
15:30:13 <Bunnyh> just asking are monero error messages informative. should just develop something with it to find out i guess
15:33:11 <Bunnyh> isn't there a mining proxy that mines all the randomx coins profit switching? IIRC moneroocean was doing that at some point at least
15:33:17 <Bunnyh> paying above 100%
15:35:34 <Bunnyh> I have such a proxy pool project I did myself, last used for a ghostrider miner pool paying out in litecoins. maybe could do a monero pool. the biggest reason I never got around to it is so far I worked only with wallet software that's cloned from bitcoin
15:35:47 <Bunnyh> so monero felt quite alien
15:39:16 <Bunnyh> https://miningpoolstats.stream/monero heh still some prop pools (my proxy was initially for pool hopping...) herominers the only prop pool at top 10 and the only with regularly spiking in hashrate, what a coincidence...
15:40:12 <Bunnyh> could reach even 150% payouts on average pool hopping in best times, but that never lasts of course.
15:41:26 <Bunnyh> I was right, monero would transition away from that mistake all coins seem to repeat before I could get my shit together and adapt my pool hopper for it. the situation was much more lucrative 2 years ago. im just too lazy
15:42:10 <Bunnyh> though I wonder is pool hopping even that easy on monero as it seems to be on other coins?
15:42:56 <Bunnyh> a pool hopping proxy is pretty similar to a profit switching one on the same coin, and sure the 2 strategies can even be combined. but with monero it seems mostly the profit switching (between coins on same algo) strategy remains.
15:43:13 <Bunnyh> many randomx coins regularly spike above monero for a moment in whattomine
15:44:41 <Bunnyh> running such a proxy on a scale significant to those coins but insignificant to monero should have a pretty predictable outcome to their value..
