is there a way to check if a database is pruned?

If it's at height > 2e6 and less than 50 GB, it's pruned.

there's no version change or anything?

There's a property in the db. You can see it if you dump the properties table.

mdb_dump -s properties ~/.bitmonero/lmdb (I think)

The key name would be... pruning_seed I believe.

If present, it's pruned.

dope thanks!

It'll be a hex dump.

Is there a function that takes in a string that is either the 25 word mnemonic or the text string and converts it to the 256 bit equivalent of the private spend key?

Yes.

There's words_to_bytes, but you'd have to split the string yourself actually.

boost::split does it. Or strtok.

So I've never done html dev before, is it trivial to make variables local like at moneroaddress.org ?

WillSellBodyForX, prolly better for #monero

so I had a random idea. I don't know where the roadmap stands or people's thoughts on the future of monero. But it seems there's a general gestalt that monero will eventually implement bp+ and triptych, and after that, its sorta like a mist of unknown

im curious if after we get triptych in, if it would be time for a full-on audit of the codebase. like, massive scope

all the scope

that seems like a huge waste of money

i mean, i assume that eventually there will be something that comes along thats better than triptych, but i feel like triptych will get a lot of mileage

yeah

well maybe eventually all the institutional money coming into crypto will want to fund it.

or those that are concerned about mUh InflAtIOn bUg can actually see a pricetag for their piece of mind

peace of mind?

yeah probably that one. I'll let myself out

Sorry, will do

does Monero rely in any way on RSA encryption?

If so, the Monero blockchain might soon be facing lethal attack

The entire RSA cryptosystem has just been broken

the Monero blockchain doesn't use any RSA

seems like that would destroy gpg though

also that paper seems a bit weird, being a wip from 2019

i guess the author must be the same Claus Schnorr of Schnorr signature fame?

or not: nitter.dark.fail/bascule/status/1366911061857771521?s=21

misinformation spreads at the speed of light.

Howard Chu is a high IQ scholar, he has more Google images with a violin than Sting with a guitar, he singlehandely saved NASA from doom. Why can't the saviour of NASA save Monero?

For a community that prides itself on manipulating people, you can't manage a single guy that spends most of his time in his underpants :D

Did you know that all witdraw-buyer-seller-depoist chains are trackable in Monero? No? You should have read Breaking Monero. How many people are you endangering with your 'privacy' coin?

What kind of person steals from own community? np.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6d5yt5/_/ Your own leaders are laughing at how stupid you are for falling for thier 'Magical Crypto Friendship'

ohhh a quad-spam

We must be making progress!

“I thought, ‘I’m going to pump it and dump it,’ because I was interested and taking the ideas and implementing them in bitcoin. The bitcoin code base was far more interesting to me than monero, and I thought, ‘I’m not going to work on this codebase, it’s terrible,'” he recalls - fluffypony in an interview about Monero

FUK has bееn intеnsеly hostilе to Monеro for ovеr 4 yеars. Making minеrs for Monеro, making a pool for Monеro, making codе that Monеro copiеd, not using bugs to stеal millions from еxchangеs. Wow. Such grеat hostility.

maybe we quiet users here

Probably not a bad idea for this channel at least.

meh if anyone can't speak, please register

yay

ping (please confirm you read me)

I confirm

Good. Thanks :)

i read you but that doesn't matter, the matrix room would work anyway.

in the wallet-cli `incoming_transfers` verbose output lists the output pubkey along with key image, while the wallet rpc only lists key image. Is this the output pubkey something that could be added to the wallet rpc, or is there a specific reason they aren't totally in sync

It can trivially be added if you need it. Bump the RPC version minor number.

ping! Can you see my message?

ok ok. Don't strain your eyes. It's all good.

nxs: the wallet rpc documentation states that the key image will be returned if you pass optional verbose=true with the request. is that not the case?

It's about the output pubkey.

yes, the key image is returned, but not associated output pubkey, which is displayed in the cli version

oh sorry, misread. nevermind

There's also no verbose flag in that RPC. The documentation is wrong.

oops

thanks moneromooo will look into MR

When Tari finally comes out, will you dump your Monero to buy it? Will others?

There are multiple psychological hooks to keep Monero community members in place. Here is one:

Notice that Scientologists don't stand on street corners saying "Would you like to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Xenu?"

Put yourself instead in the shoes of someone who spent $10,000 and 2-3 years of their life on their courses

And you get a bunch of bad sci-fi - you have two choices:

- either swallow a very bitter pill that you wasted a pile of money and a portion of your life

- or swallow the sci-fi, and from that point on, you will swallow _anything_ they tell you.

In the cult trade that's called "insider doctrine".

Would you like to talk about our Lord and Saviour of NASA, Howard Chu?

nxs: check out #7422 is it what you had in mind?
