  moneromooo, question...
• 12:32
  Mochi101
  I connected to a remote node on stagenet... told my wallet cli to start mining
• 12:32
  Mochi101
  I think it started the remote node mining to my address
• 12:32
  Mochi101
  Is that possible?
• 12:35
  moneromooo
  Yes, the wallet is just a proxy here.
• 12:35
  moneromooo
  With the pay-for-service patch, the actual wallet can now mine, but using start_mining_for_rpc.
• 12:35
  Mochi101
  These are for sure mined blocks: Balance: 413.297206492788, unlocked balance: 166.667164579276 (59 block(s) to unlock)
• 12:35
  Mochi101
  This is not right...
• 12:36
  Mochi101
  I shouldn't be able to start a remote node mining to my address.
• 12:36
  Mochi101
  (stagenet)
• 12:37
  moneromooo
  If you mean the node operator should not allow it, then it does sound likely. Complain to them :)
• 12:37
  moneromooo
  People exposing their... RPC to the world should use --restricted-rpc.
• 12:37
  Mochi101
  ok, but shouldn't that need explicit permission rather than normally open?
• 12:38
  Mochi101
  ah yes, true
• 12:38
  moneromooo
  It does.
• 12:38
  moneromooo
  Someone who exposes RPC had to specifically bind to the outside NIC.
• 12:39
  moneromooo
  Setting RPC to restricted by default when someone binds to the NIC but not when binding to the loopback seems... convoluted.
• 12:40
  moneromooo
  I might be OK with such a patch I guess. It'd have to include a --unrestricted-rpc flag too.
• 12:40
  moneromooo
  Though I won't write it, I think it's fine as it is.
• 12:40
  moneromooo
  Oh. Reminds me.
• 12:41
  Mochi101
  ok, I trust you know better than me
• 12:41
  Mochi101
  :)

  I found github.com/jlopp/bitcoin-core-config-generator a good while ago, and thought I could adapt it to monero.
• 12:41
  moneromooo
  This would be handy in cases like this.
• 12:42
  moneromooo
  However, I have no clue what this language is. It looked a bit like javascript IIRC, but doesn't show naything in a browser, and node.js doesn't run it.
• 12:42
  moneromooo
  So if anyone knows how to make this run and wants to adapt it to monero, please feel free :)
• 12:42
  moneromooo
  Otherwise, tell me how the hell that is supposed to run and I'll do it sometime late.r
• 12:44
  Mochi101
  hmmm
• 12:46
  moneromooo
  Not you particularly I mean, just anyone who might know.
• 12:47
  Mochi101
  sudakan you should turn on --restricted-rpc
• 12:47
  Mochi101
  :D
• 12:47
  Mochi101
  Thanks for the mining.
• 12:50
  Mochi101
  (I turned off the mining in case anybody is wondering)
• 13:55

  Mochi101: sounds good, hope to see you there if you make it!
