  Inge-: i tested each system backed down top 1.25v, i can actually get 4.2GHz stable on one of them, the others are stable at 1.25v @ 4.15GHz

  anyone can recommend a good monero wallet?
• 03:06
  Epsilon[m]
  Desktop or Mobile?
• 03:07
  carlino3
  desktop of course
• 03:07
  Epsilon[m]
  The official wallet is pretty good
• 03:08
  carlino3
  link to official site?

  and a good and safe way to exchange bitcoin to monero without giving personal information?
• 03:10
  Epsilon[m]
  I don't know many good exchanges sorry but if you want to convert monero to bitcoin xmr.to is fine
• 03:11
  carlino3
  i'm looking for something simple
• 03:11
  carlino3
  just send BTC and receive XMR, no registration or bullshit
• 03:28
  fddicent
  i'm actually hopeful XMR<->BTC remains viable despite concerns about money laundering
• 03:28
  fddicent
  several delists in the past month for XMR over those concerns from regulators
• 03:28
  fddicent
  i'd be fine if the public exchanges limited you to trading XMR for a more transparent coin that you can then convert to cash if you want
• 03:29
  fddicent
  although ideally i'd rather there be no change
• 03:30
  carlino3
  why money laundring is a concern?
• 03:38
  louipc
  laundering is always a concern for people that want control
• 03:39
  louipc
  aka banks, govt, etc
• 03:43
  carlino3
  yes but criminals and tax evaders have better resources to accomplish that
• 03:47
  fddicent
  it's the lack of visibility/control, like luipc said
• 03:47

  regulators will use a worst-case scenario to say why they should be able to snoop on your transactions
• 03:47
  fddicent
  the same way the government uses terrorist attacks abroad to justify being all up in your shit
• 03:47
  fddicent
  PATRIOT ACT BITCHES
• 03:48
  carlino3
  sure
• 03:49
  carlino3
  but i think that involving cryptocurrencies in the equation makes the operation more suspicious
• 03:49
  carlino3
  not a good idea if you are a bad guy
• 03:50
  louipc
  depends on how its used tho
• 03:51
  louipc
  if theres corrupt banks then you should bet theres corrupt exchanges
• 03:53
  carlino3
  of course
• 03:53
  carlino3
  corruption is everywhere.

  whole space makes tools that use compressed version of accepted file format. so what do you do? release a tool that requires uncompressing the file. GAH!

  i love how developers reached the conclusion that instead of making software that will run on any computer, they would just re-recreate their computer virtually so that their software will run

  Sorry to break subject, a question.
• 22:07
  q-wayland[m]
  I have a PC with 2cores and 4 threads.
• 22:07
  q-wayland[m]
  When i mine with xmrig, it only utses 2 threads. Is this expected?
• 22:10
  nioc
  it configures according to the cpu, probably a L3 cache limitation
• 22:11
  asymptotically
  q-wayland[m]: that's fine. you can force it to use 4 cores if you want, but it will probably be slower
• 22:29
  q-wayland[m]
  > it configures according to the cpu, probably a L3 cache limitation
• 22:29
  q-wayland[m]
  I see, so with no configuration it should autooptimize then?
• 22:30

  > q-wayland: that's fine. you can force it to use 4 cores if you want, but it will probably be slower
• 22:30
  q-wayland[m]
  Oh okay, i set the --threads 4 flag. Or how would you configure it?
• 22:33
  nioc
  I change the #of threads with the config file
• 22:33
  nioc
  2 MB L3 cache per thread
• 22:36
  nioc
  I use windows and some things share the cache so even though I have 6MB cache 3 threads the 3rd thread gives only a small increase in HR which I find not worth it for the extra power it uses
• 22:38
  q-wayland[m]
  > I change the #of threads with the config file
• 22:38
  q-wayland[m]
  Okay ill try that, thanks for your reply
• 22:38
  q-wayland[m]
  Haha
• 22:40
  q-wayland[m]
  I installed dietpi on my thinkpad
• 22:40
  q-wayland[m]
  It uses 80 MB ram at idle
• 22:49
  q-wayland[m]
  Also only have 3mb L3 cache heh
• 22:53
  nioc
  I have an i3 with 3MB L3 and xmrig configured it for 2 threads
• 22:53
  nioc
  single channel of DDR3 memory, no AES-NI
• 22:54
  nioc
  gets 600H/s at 50% cpu usage
• 22:55
  nioc
  my dual channel ddr3 i5 gets 1200 H/s from 2 threads
• 22:56
  nioc
  60% cpu usage
• 22:56
  nioc
  using a 3rd thread only get 200H/s more and CPU is at 90% so I don't bother
• 22:57
  nioc
  new ryzen is great and makes me wonder why I run the intels lol
• 22:58
  nioc
  even with only 3 MB L3 on the i3 2 threads are worth running for me
• 22:59
  nioc
  just try and see what work for you q-wayland[m]
