07:12:45 <viperperidot[m]> Hello, I tried to create a view-only wallet from my hww in the monero gui. It was created successfully but when I try to open it it says 'Couldn't open wallet file: does not correspond to viewonly.keys'
07:13:02 <viperperidot[m]> All I did was click the create view-only wallet button so what is going wrong here?
07:13:03 <viperperidot[m]> Thanks
09:19:41 <dEBRUYNE> viperperidot[m]: Is your hardware device still plugged in?
13:04:12 <dixie__flatline[> Why is forum.getmonero.org look abandoned? I don't know much about the origins and prime times of that forum. But looking at it now, the most recent posts seem to be from Feb 2019.
13:07:16 <dixie__flatline[> To be honest, I would appreciate having a "proper" forum other than l'eddit.
13:08:44 <rbrunner> I think it *was* abandoned, or better inactivated, after problems with spam, and maybe also generally low participation.
13:09:20 <dixie__flatline[> I see.
13:29:34 <nioc> yeah spam
15:48:56 <rehrar> dixie__flatline[: low participation. Was mostly used for the forum funding system. FFS became the CCS on the new platform, so it wasn't used for anything.
15:49:21 <rehrar> Rather than continually get rid of spam, it was placed into read-only. But yes, there has been discussion several times about spinning up a forum again. Flarum specifically.
16:59:22 <viperperidot[m]> <dEBRUYNE "viperperidot: Is your hardware d"> No it's not, isn't that the point of a watch-only wallet is that you do not need the spend key to view it? I thought the view key gets exported when you create the watch only wallet which is enough to open it and view.
17:17:12 <dEBRUYNE> viperperidot[m]: It gets exported to RAM
17:17:25 <dEBRUYNE> So it is essentially only available on a per-session basis (I am simplifying, but still)
17:17:37 <dEBRUYNE> Thus, I am fairly it only works with the device plugged in
17:26:25 <viperperidot[m]> <dEBRUYNE "So it is essentially only availa"> Hmm ok, this would be a nice feature to have included in the future.
17:27:19 <viperperidot[m]> Thanks
17:27:40 <viperperidot[m]> I wish my ssd I ordered would arrive so I can start using monero..XD
17:28:13 <viperperidot[m]> Downloading on my harddrive is just too slow and slows my laptop down immensly
17:30:56 <dEBRUYNE> SSD should be a blessing if you initially started with a harddrive :P
17:31:33 <viperperidot[m]> Yeah i'm excited to get started!
17:32:07 <viperperidot[m]> Is there a reason that I keep getting kicked out of my wallet and having to re-enter the password after an amount of innactivity?
17:32:13 <viperperidot[m]> Is there a timeout setting in the gui?
17:32:55 <dEBRUYNE> Yes
17:32:59 <dEBRUYNE> You can change it on the Settings page
17:34:36 <viperperidot[m]> Ok thanks
17:35:23 <viperperidot[m]> What do you do for a node, is the Pi-Node-XMR project a good option?
17:38:08 <dEBRUYNE> Not familiar with the project, but anything under the umbrella of monero-ecosystem is fairly decent normally
17:59:09 <viperperidot[m]> dEBRUYNE:
17:59:27 <viperperidot[m]> So I tested opening the view-only wallet with the hww open and it still is not working..
18:00:36 <viperperidot[m]> Sent you a dm
18:40:11 <dEBRUYNE> viperperidot[m]: I see
18:40:17 <dEBRUYNE> Where did you send the DM, because I don't see any here?
19:00:39 <viperperidot[m]> dEBRUYNE: Just sent again
19:05:06 <Inge-> sgp_: around?
19:05:37 <sgp_> What's up
19:10:59 <dEBRUYNE> viperperidot[m]: Still haven't received anything
19:11:02 <dEBRUYNE> I suppose I could try PMing you

19:15:13 <needmoney90> You guys feel free to rip into the guy, he's deflecting the allegations with outrage
19:43:14 <sgp_> I mean he doesn't have a god-given right to be a recommended exchange so
19:43:40 <hyc> sounds like he just doesn't know. if it happened before he joined the company etc.
19:48:24 <needmoney90> hyc did you read his new comments lol
