just some feedback on the monero gui latest release version. is the simple mode too simple? Cant select remote node or see what you are connected to?. Cannot find a way to get to advanced mode either from the gui unless im missing something?
-
gingeropolous
modul8[m], yeah. you have to goto close wallet
-
gingeropolous
and then there's an orangre button on the bottom that says change mode
-
gingeropolous
i have also felt the same way about simple mode, but i've realized i have no idea what a new user actually expects.
-
gingeropolous
ive become too intimate with moneros stuff to appreciate what a noob needs
-

Maybe you could write a paperback gingeropolous, "Getting Intimate with Monero".

Monero could have a whole series.

Hey anyone here know monero's dev donation address? I'm working on a project and want to donate
-
justcallmeroot
I should probably find it elsewhere, but too lazy and busy coding atm
-
justcallmeroot
No BS please, I will cross check the addy.

Where can I get started developing my own personal monero miner? I'd like to see if I can get it working on WebAssembly.
-
gingeropolous
Woodpecker, thats gonna be a tall order for randomx
-
gingeropolous
i mean, first starting point would be xmrig repository i guess
-
Woodpecker
gingeropolous: been reading through the code and documentation. I thought this would be a fun way to familiarize myself with the blockchain etc.
-
moneromooo
First step is probably to take librandomx, convert it, see if the hash rate isn't too dire.
-
gingeropolous
word on the street is that web page mining with randomx is DOA
-
gingeropolous
i assume thats what webassembly does
-
Woodpecker
Newb question, but what miner is the monero wallet using?
-
moneromooo
monerod.
-
gingeropolous
it uses the one in the monerod code
-
Woodpecker
#include <wallet/api/wallet2_api.h> << its not that, is it?
-
Woodpecker
prob not.
-
Woodpecker
oh wait, okay yeah right.
-
Woodpecker
got it
-
Woodpecker
Yeah the first challenge I see is the current lack of multithreading
-
Woodpecker
Though Qt does seem to be experimenting with it.
-
gingeropolous
a low hanging fruit could be the implementation of new pruning features into the GUI
-
gingeropolous
and the hash for rpc feature
-
gingeropolous
also needs to be implemented in GUI
-
gingeropolous
thats somewhat mining related :)
-
Woodpecker
gingeropolous: I'm down. All gui is QML, right?
-
gingeropolous
the actual coders in #monero-gui would know better. when i expressed interest in trying to code stuff, i was told i needed to know qt, some javascript, and c++
-
gingeropolous
maybe it was qml. something with a q im sure
-
Woodpecker
gingeropolous: thanks. I'm a 5 year qt developer, so it shouldnt be too difficult in that realm
-
gingeropolous
well hot diggity dog
-
moneromooo
QML and javascript. Some C++ glue.
-
Woodpecker
My green area is that I do not have an intimate knowledge with crypto writ large.
-
Woodpecker
But I got time to kill so
-
gingeropolous
cool. well, people idle here and on irc. and as always, the best documentation is in the code or the commits... so don't go looking far for any documentation
-
gingeropolous
and as your figuring out the code yourself, please leave comments to help others
-
gingeropolous
"here and on irc". damn i did not sleep last night. i meant here and on #monero-gui
-
gingeropolous
and yeah irc in general. i'll go back to drinking coffee now
-
Woodpecker
gingeropolous: thanks, appreciate that.

Woodpecker
As opposed to, "Auditing the coin" which could be synonymous with POW ?
-
nioc
yes code audit
-
gingeropolous
yeah Woodpecker , it was an audit of the code implementation of randomx and also, somewhat, the underlying concept of asic equivalence
-
gingeropolous
-
gingeropolous
-
Woodpecker
Asic Equivalence. RandomX is supposed to be Asic Resistant, right?
-
moneromooo
Hopefully.
-
Woodpecker
And what does it imply, when "The network gets pwned"?
-
Woodpecker
Am I understanding this right, that in order to resist asic, the algorythm has been changing every six months?
-
moneromooo
It could get pwned in many ways. Since you were talking about mining, the most relevant one is when a miner has so much hash that they can rewrite at will.
-
moneromooo
Recently, yes.
-
Woodpecker
moneromooo: That would require something like 60% overall power?
-
moneromooo
Depends. It starts getting annoying much earlier.
-
moneromooo
It's a random process, so you can get lucky runs with a lot less than that.
-
Woodpecker
moneromooo: Has such a thing been attempted on Monero yet?
-
moneromooo
I'm not sure.
-
moneromooo
There were certainly points where it could have been fairly easily.
-
Woodpecker
And I imagine that one of the issues, is that as the hash becomes more difficult and Asic's are specializing,
-
Woodpecker
Like with bitcoin, people have given up mining with cpus etc
-
Woodpecker
so the power becomes less distributed and more prone to being pwned?
-
moneromooo
Yes. There are forces going in both directions though.
-
Woodpecker
They said RandomX would be implemented in October. Is it implimented yet?
-
moneromooo
Yes.
-
Woodpecker
`RandomX is a new Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm that Monero is scheduled to begin using in the next network update. ` <<< so that happened already?

<xmrhaelan> Hyc are you here?
-
gast
Hello, which filesystem should I format my partition to, to work as filesystem for the monero daemon hosting the blockchain?
-
moneromooo
Something that has good mmap support and does not corrupt.
-
gast
BrtFs ?
-
moneromooo
Do you mean btrfs ?
-
gast
yes, sorry
-
moneromooo
Does it have good mmap support ? Does it corrupt ?
-
gast
I can not tell. I heard it is good
-
gast
Is ntfs recommend?
-
asymptotically
if it's an ssd you can try f2fs
-
hyc
ntfs works poorly on linux
-
gast
It is a ssd, I will try f2fs
-
gast
I do now know much about filesystem or linux unfortunately
-
gast
Thanks, using f2fs seems to work well for me! :-)
-
gast
Prior to the format, I received this error: monerod Failed to commit a transaction to the db: Input/output error - Unfortunately I do not know, which filesystem I used, I think it was Ext4 - Now I can keep syncing.
-
gast
Do you reccommend to sync faster using: --block-sync-size 10 ?
-
moneromooo
That usually means "your hardware is bad", though liblmdb reuses it a bit.
-
moneromooo
No.
-
gast
I use a raspberry pi 4
-
gast
I thought it should be possible to run a monero daemon with a raspberry pi 4 or isnt it ?
-
Mochi101
it is
-
gast
Maybe my problem was, using --block-sync-size 10 prior to format the filesystem which bugged me
-
gast
ok thanks
-
Mochi101
-
gast
I used this tutorial to start :-)

thank you

textmate
yo whats up
-
textmate
im having this slight issue, I recently compiled monero-wallet-gui for my debian sid system
-
textmate
and Im trying to import my wallet from monerujo
-
textmate
I got the .keys file over to my system, but when I add it to monero-wallet-gui, it adds the file etc but when it asks me for the password, it says its the wrong one even though it is the correct password
-
textmate
I am 199% sure its correct, Ive even copied the password over from my phone which worked and tried it on the computer, its one hundred percent correct, but the gui says its not.
-
textmate
what should I do?
-
moneromooo
Does your password include non 7 bit ASCII characters ?
-
moneromooo
ie, accents, language specific chars, etc.
-
selsta
textmate: Can you use the seed to restore the wallet? AFAIK monerujo uses some special passwork system.
-
textmate
moneromooo: it does not use any odd characters
-
selsta
-
textmate
selsta: im gonna check that out, thanks for the tip

oh hai rottensox
-
textmate
I remember you from somewhere
-
textmate
selsta: Your wallet files were never encrypted with the password you chose, they were encrypted with the much safer CrAzYpass.
-
asymptotically
textmate: do you have your seed phrase written down?
-
textmate
asymptotically: no
-
asymptotically
did you write down your "wallet files restore password"?
-
textmate
asymptotically: I didnt see anything like that
-
textmate
so no
-
asymptotically
it looks like you get it when it asks you to write down your seed phrase
-
textmate
yeah I mustve skipped it too then
-
selsta
do you still have access to your phone wallet?
-
textmate
selsta: no
-
textmate
I mean yes*
-
selsta
open the wallet and write down the seed
-
textmate
selsta: yep I figured I should do that.
