when Tari goes fully online with it's merged mining, will we need to update mining software yet again for Monero mining alone ?

Unlikely.

kk thanks

The point of merge mining is to piggy back on an existing chain without having to modify it.

got it

You'll want to ask the tari people to know what they're planning to do though.

time will tell, see you later.

Hey, I am working with python and monero's lmdb. Is there a document/documentation that describes how the data is stored in the database, e.g. the 'blocks' db. I can extract most of the data but some does not make any sense like the timestamp e.g. This is an example of a block in the 'blocks' db: paste.debian.net/1143893

Structures near the top of db_lmdb.cpp for the monero specific stuff. lmdb.h for the overal lmdb format.

no point in parsing the raw LMDB format, just use the library...

py-lmdb is quite a good wrapper, too

Ah, nice. Thanks a lot for the hints. I will have a closer look.

No point in parsing the monero layer either, use blockchain_lmdb :)

yeah, the logical layer is easier to use than the K/V layer

that's kinda how it always should be
