what does very long mean for you? seconds? minutes? hour?

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> i haven't synced lately but it looks like the remote sync took 30 minutes, the local node sync takes like an hour+

can you clarify if you mean catching up the daemon sync for 1 month, or if you mean syncing when opening a wallet?

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> i mean syncing when opening a wallet for the remote sync and daemon sync for the local node sync

remote node sync over tor?

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> clearnet

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> both numbers clearnet

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> this is why i dont support the unlimited block size proposals it will be impossible to sync after like a week

synced up local node, opening a wallet after a month takes around 15 seconds to scan on my system

with remote node probably 30-40 seconds

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> my remote node sync downloaded like 500 mb this is not sustainable for ordinary users

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> according to feather

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> i am seriously skeptical that it only takes 30 seconds to sync a wallet with a remote node after a month without opening it

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> because i just had to sync 21000 blocks for this one wallet and it took 30 minutes

it's my own remote node in neighbouring country

if you use a random remote node it might be overloaded or slow for other reasons

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> feather is connecting to some random dude's node apparently

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> all public remote nodes i used have been roughtly this slow though

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> i tried many

feather uses tor by default that's why i was curious

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> no, i disabled that

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> it would have taken an ungodly amount of time if that was still on

<elongated:matrix.org> With fcmp, lws wallets will be the way to go for most of the ppl.

i just timed it, 6000 blocks took 10 seconds on my own remote node in a neighbouring country, so for 21000 blocks it would be 35 seconds

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> doesnt sending my viewkey to the server defeat the entire point of the project

<elongated:matrix.org> @kiersten5821:matrix.org: Run your own lws server or use your uncles

there are also various optimizations still possible, we are nowhere near the limit of wallet scan speed

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> selsta: do you have super high bandwidth or something? i think if you restore a random wallet with feather/gui/cli at a blockheight 21k blocks behind and try some public nodes, you will see how painful it is, especially with anonymity networks

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> how long does it take your node to daemon sync a month of blocks? because i recall that is like 1 hour+

on mainnet my node syncs at 5.5 blocks / second

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> how is that even possible

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> my fastest ever is 3 and average 2

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> on good hardware

so yea that's an hour for 1 month

if i calculated it right

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> i think it was like < 1 when the spam was happening 2 years ago

5.5 blocks / second when there is no spam

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> i get around 2.5/s normally without the spam

what cpu do you have?

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> about 5 years old

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> i got the same speed on diff machines with diff cpus

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> the sync time should really be at a minimum of 100x faster than the generation time on reasonable hardware otherwise it will be impossible to sync, imagine a guy is offline for a few months and the ratio is 10x, has to wait a week to use the coin, i think the sync time is already cutting it close, mine is only 150x.

<assholeorangecat:matrix.org> Another one bites the dust. Germany planning to put an end to taxfree profits if you hold over one year. Who's gonna tell bitcoiners you can't win an economic war with a transparent blockchain? Well once they get a letter from the german IRS I think they might.

<pyratevevo:matrix.org> @assholeorangecat:matrix.org: Where's that meme.

Where is the meme from?

Hey all, I can (or rather was about to) complete the Monero-GUI translations in French & Turkish but do I really have to provide my real name? Assuming the translations are done on translate.monerodevs.org/projects/monero-gui this seems mandatory :/

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> real names not necessary

<john_xmr:matrix.org> Hey everyone! Seeing the latest news about governments tightening their grip, it’s clear we need to take Monero offline and into the streets. I’m launching a physical street activism campaign here in France to orange-pill the general public IRL. The digital community is strong, but everyday people won't look into privacy tech if they don't even know it exists.

<john_xmr:matrix.org> I just set up a Kuno to fund the printing and nationwide distribution of our first massive batch of custom, weather-resistant Monero stickers and posters.

<john_xmr:matrix.org> If you want to help make financial privacy visible in the real world and support the French cypherpunk movement, check out the roadmap here:

<john_xmr:matrix.org> kuno.anne.media/fundraiser/rd9f

<john_xmr:matrix.org> Let's make some noise. 1 XMR = 1 XMR! ✊

<plowsof:matrix.org> inflation is out of control , just a year or 2 ago it only costed about 30 euros monerosupplies.com/product/fund-a-guerrilla-get-funded

<kowalabearhugs_> Affordable sticker packs for the guerilla are still available, xmrbazaar.com/user/EvianX

<plowsof:matrix.org> but he has a background in e-commerce

ofrnxmr: Thanks, so I can just put random stuff for my name when registering and contributions are still going to be accepted? That's good to know. I'm going to take a closer look at the hosted weblate instance.

<plowsof:matrix.org> John Doe is taken

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Yes. Probably put something related to your handle (like card puncher)

<plowsof:matrix.org> the translations will probably land here after approval monero-project/monero-gui #4562

Thanks for all the help. plowsof: who approves the translations, just out of curiosity?

<user2570:unredacted.org> Any vibe coded project detectors here? ofrnAI maybe?

<user2570:unredacted.org> At first glance monerowire.com didn't look vibe coded to me.

<user2570:unredacted.org> What do you think?

<intr:unredacted.org> definitely vibe coderino

<user2570:unredacted.org> how do you detect?

<intr:unredacted.org> style wise it looks like every other vibe coded website. Content wise, just read some of the stuff. It reads like an AI response, like here monerowire.com/resources

<intr:unredacted.org> also the footer

<intr:unredacted.org> mrelay.p2pool.observer/m/unredacted.org/hSWFqSUSUsuoeviTNatIXqgm.png (clipboard.png)

<intr:unredacted.org> who puts this in a footer?

<intr:unredacted.org> maybe he wrote some of the content himself though

<intr:unredacted.org> like, privacy is not optional? it's a news aggregator

<intr:unredacted.org> why does it need a cringe grok tier tagline in the footer

<user2570:unredacted.org> @intr:unredacted.org: Yeah text might be partially ai generated but overall not too bad.

<user2570:unredacted.org> What about the articles / blog posts?

<intr:unredacted.org> so far I'm leaning towards not AI

<user2570:unredacted.org> @user2570:unredacted.org: I was mainly asking about the website code?

<user2570:unredacted.org> Is it based on some engine?

<user2570:unredacted.org> @intr:unredacted.org: thanks for your opinion

<intr:unredacted.org> I'm seeing some punctuation issues you wouldn't get with AI

<user2570:unredacted.org> ok

<intr:unredacted.org> wait

<intr:unredacted.org> lol

<intr:unredacted.org> mrelay.p2pool.observer/m/unredacted.org/JLvvcfKKLgIkNrgfONtGMjnm.png (clipboard.png)

<intr:unredacted.org> I think he search-and-replaced emdashes with periods

<intr:unredacted.org> @user2570:unredacted.org: I don't know, but every cryptobro vibe-coded website has the same look and feel

<intr:unredacted.org> monerowire.com/articles/france-tax-employee-crypto-data-kidnappings

<user2570:unredacted.org> I mean it looks clean to me with no layout artifacts and does not seem to be bloated

<intr:unredacted.org> struggling to think of some vibe coded websites apart from moneroshamelist.com

<intr:unredacted.org> one thing I always notice is the thin, slightly rounded borders around a lot of elements

<user2570:unredacted.org> Asking because thinking about listing monerowire on monero.eco > <@user2570:unredacted.org> Any vibe coded project detectors here? ofrnAI maybe?

<user2570:unredacted.org> CypherGoat TWIM (This Week In Monero) is also a candidate, although the concept is too similar with Revuo, but revuo posts more randomly not weekly I think.

<ravfx:xmr.mx> Clankers design website in way to reduce harm. Pointy corners are too sharp

<intr:unredacted.org> he keeps doing it

<intr:unredacted.org> mrelay.p2pool.observer/m/unredacted.org/HGblCOSPyVEnojolMTIkETNO.png (clipboard.png)

<user2570:unredacted.org> What do you @intr:unredacted.org and anyone easle think?

<user2570:unredacted.org> Which monero news websites should be listed on monero.eco ?

<user2570:unredacted.org> * monerowire.com

<user2570:unredacted.org> * cyphergoat.com/this-week-in-monero[... more lines follow, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/36ahsYQLeE5seTBv ]

<intr:unredacted.org> Monero Moon is peak, and I have no opinion on the other ones

Okay, I extracted the tarball of the latest release and brought up the French translation to 100%. Just one string is puzzling me. On QtLinguist5, in the Transfer section there's a string only asking for a comment, it reads <context comment>. Any help would be really appreciated.

If everything checks out, I can happily start updating the Turkish translation.
