  If you're worried people might click, just put the domain name with a (dot).
• 15:45
  moneromooo
  And yes, this is an appropriate place unless you're shilling scammy stuff :)

  Hmm, 0.14.1.0 has libs, plugins, qml, 0.15.0.1 doesn't.
• 16:03

  yes it’s not required anymore

  How do I check what version daemon I'm running?
• 16:14
  moneromooo
  "version"
• 16:14
  darsie
  Where do I put that?
• 16:15
  moneromooo
  in monerod
• 16:15
  darsie
  Does that connect to the running monerod and queries its version?
• 16:16
  moneromooo
  If you can put it in monerod, it is the running monerod. If you can't (ie, you're running detached), then "monerod version" will do that.
• 16:20
  darsie
  I get the version of the monerod I'm launching, not the one of that's running.
• 16:20
  moneromooo
  Then it's running an old version, since this got fixed.

  nm i guess i got banned for posting the link on reddit and asking if its legit or not
• 16:23
  moneromooo
  Maybe it's not fixed then...

  monero gui doesn't snap to desktop borders in xfce.

  Only if I alt-mousdrag it.

  needmonero90
  Heebnoid: you posted a referral link to a 'free monero' site asking if it was legit. Debruyne responded probably not and removed your post. Ten minutes later you reposted it and were spamming your referral link, again, asking if it was legit, after debruyne told you otherwise.
• 16:28
  needmonero90
  You got banned. Read the sidebar rules.

  I'll let the regulars in this channel decide if you should be unbanned. I suspect it'll be a resounding no.
• 16:31

  reddit shows you who deleted a post?
• 16:31
  moneromooo
  :o needmonero90 spamming scam links :o

  looks like spam rather than sincere information seeking.

  yeah, a spammer would just make a new account

  Reposting after it was removed tripped my red flags :/
• 16:38
  moneromooo
  For reddit ? I don't care.
• 16:38
  moneromooo
  It does seem to me like the ref link was intentional.
• 16:39
  needmonero90
  *very* intentional
• 16:39
  moneromooo
  That said, they didn't post it here but asked. Shrug.

  How old is the account?

  Half a year, but hasn't posted in a month or two
• 16:41

  And before that literally shilled reflink services for doge

  needmonero90
  That's it

  y u do dis Heebnoid
• 16:42
  needmonero90
  Lol not only shilling reflinks, but doge admins deleted them all, and he kept posting them
• 16:42
  needmonero90
  Yeah no thanks, ban appeal denied

  im not a scammer i didnt know i wasnt aloud to ask if that site was bad or not. i dont want people to click it if it is a bad site. i was only asking if it is legit or not.
• 16:44
  » needmonero90 presses X to doubt
• 16:45
  moneromooo
  I wasn't sure, but assuming the doge history is accurate, you clearly knew.
• 16:45
  Heebnoid
  idk wtf i did louipc .
• 18:57
  Heebnoid
  thats fine dEB
• 18:57

  again im sorry for causing a stink. i didnt mean to mess anything up.

  So I made a transaction to my monero wallet before my blockchain has been fully synced. Will those funds be effected in anyway?
• 20:17
  moneromooo
  You'll see it once your wallet catches up.
• 20:17
  sinaptik
  thanks for the confidence in monero good sir
• 20:18
  sinaptik
  My node is literally massive, it's at 70GB+ right now
• 20:18
  sinaptik
  I did not expect this at all
• 20:19
  selsta
  sinaptik: You can prune it
• 20:19
  sinaptik
  how so?
• 20:21
  moneromooo
  monero-prune-blockchain (while monerod is not running).
• 20:21
  moneromooo
  It's apparently pretty slow on HDD. You need an extra ~25 GB (then you can delete the 70 GB).
• 20:22
  sinaptik
  should I do that once the sync is complete though?
• 20:22
  sinaptik
  I had to move from SSD to HDD because I ran out of space on my SSD
• 20:22
  moneromooo
  Doesn't matter.
• 20:23
  sinaptik
  yeah sure, but it'll be slow :(
• 20:23
  moneromooo
  If you're really out of space, you can delete the blockchain and sync again with --prune-blockchain :)
• 20:23
  moneromooo
  Then you only need the 25 GB.
• 20:23
  sinaptik
  argh O
• 20:23
  sinaptik
  I've come this far
• 20:24
  sinaptik
  I'm at 70GB+
• 20:24
  sinaptik
  and I'm at 97% complete
• 20:24
  sinaptik
  might as well finish it
• 20:25
  KiloLima
  74.6GB
• 20:25
  needmonero90
  moneromooo: is there any way we can precalculate space available on drive before downloading? Then either suggest or auto set pruning from the outset if the chain is below X
• 20:25
  needmonero90
  X gb
• 20:26
  KiloLima
  74.6GB is total monero blockchain, BTC Core is 269GB.
• 20:26
  moneromooo
  Do you trust the people you'd ask ?
• 20:27
  moneromooo
  If you run your node in bootstrap mode, it can get this in get_info.
• 20:27
  moneromooo
  Quantized to 5 GB IIRC.
• 20:27
  moneromooo
  (up)
• 20:29
  moneromooo
  IIRC the GUI is pruning by default.
• 20:29
  selsta
  not yet
• 20:29
  selsta
  the problem is that we don’t know if the current daemon is pruned so we can’t simply start it with --prune-blockchain
• 20:30
  moneromooo
  You can start it normally, then check its height after it started. If < 5000, call prune_blockchain.
• 20:30
  moneromooo
  It'll be super fast at that height.
• 20:30
  selsta
  yea that would be a solution
• 20:30
  selsta
  if we do this existing blockchains won’t get pruned if I understand it correctly
• 20:31
  moneromooo
  Right.
• 20:31
  moneromooo
  Unless they really were < 5k :P
