hi
-
user3434
can someone help me?
-
user3434
when trying to use monero GUI, i keep getting "daemon failed to start"
-
selsta
user3434: Are you using simple mode?
-
selsta
If yes, can you try restarting your computer. Then start the GUI again and wait 2-3 minutes.
-
user3434
selsta, no i am not
-
user3434
I am using advanced mode
-
user3434
this also happened on two OSes,
-
selsta
Can you go to Settings -> Node and look if something is written inside the bootstrap-daemon / bootstrap-port textbox?
-
user3434
I see bootstrap port
-
user3434
I had choosen a remote node before, because i needed to use it faster
-
user3434
but idc either way
-
user3434
but it was exhibiting this same behavior before i added in
-
user3434
so you can consider the bootstrap port to be exhibiting the same behavior when its blank
-
user3434
it says daemon startup flags also, it says "(optional)"
-
selsta
Can you make a screenshot?
-
selsta
The bootstrap daemon and port textbox should be empty.
-
selsta
And daemon startup flags also unless you wrote something in it.
-
user3434
eh
-
user3434
selsta,
-
user3434
its gonna be hard to take a screenshot and upload it and send it to you, im on qubes
-
user3434
I do not even have a bootstrap daemon textbox
-
user3434
the boostrap port has numbers in it, ill make em blank
-
user3434
its only becasue i tried to use a remoten ode
-
user3434
that did not work either lol
-
selsta
Can you start monerod from the command line?
-
user3434
i tried that
-
user3434
i will show you what it did 1 sec selsta

Segmentation fault
-
selsta
Looks like a corrupted blockchain.
-
user3434
why would this happen and what can i do
-
user3434
and is there any way i can avoid downloading the entire blockchain lol?
-
selsta
It can happen if you didn’t shutdown the system properly.
-
user3434
I really dont wanna have to wait on that. It may be worth mentionign that I'm doing it over tor, so it'll take longer
-
selsta
You can use a Tor remote node.
-
user3434
but thatt doesnt make sense, this is the first time ive opened monero-gui
-
user3434
I cant use the normal ones?
-
user3434
over tor?
-
selsta
I don’t know.
-
selsta
Did you sync the blockchain on this system before?
-
user3434
no
-
selsta
Open the GUI, select remote node under Settings -> Node and try ones from this list:
moneroworld.com
-
selsta
Try Tor remote nodes and non Tor.
-
user3434
so
-
user3434
whenever ive tried connecting to remote nodes
-
user3434
its happenign rn also
-
user3434
it basically does nothing
-
user3434
and the terminal, where i run the gui from says
-
user3434
Generating SSL certificate
-
user3434
never gets anywhere
-
selsta
did you try onion remote nodes?
-
user3434
i did.
-
user3434
it literally just started working as you sent that message, lol ty, still dont see why my daemon wont start?
-
selsta
because your blockchain is corrupted
-
user3434
ok. how do i fix that?
-
selsta
delete ~/.bitmonero/lmdb/data.mdb
-
user3434
okay
-
selsta
but I don’t know if sycing will work on Qubes
-
user3434
why not?
-
user3434
im using it in a whonix-ws qube
-
user3434
also isnt there a way to only download part of the blockchain? I read that online somewhere I think
-
selsta
I don’t know how Qubes works exactly.
-
user3434
lmao, i just started using it a week or so ago, so im only fimiliarizing myself with it now
-
user3434
fam
-
user3434
its pretty cool though, you should check it out
-
selsta
does monerod work now after deleting data.mdb?
-
user3434
i need to try

I've a problem, maybe someone can help me, this is what I'm getting when I try to check the downloaded binary for latest monero version: SHA1 hash of monero-win-x64-v0.15.0.1.zip:e8ef14b1808068b516927d38498442c0b820a60aCertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.

but i should be getting this according to github: a1d2a4a0a9f2cdb17808c0b7a2a872a70c9f3e6487494b29cc1627b5490f25e9 , no?

ah nevermind, I was checking against sha 1, on sha 256 it's okay, it matches

Hello, how long is the average sync time for a full node? 0% to 100% ?
-
nofxx
tryphe, yup... sending some xmr to there too... dexes are very nice, and at least waves isn't only erc tokens
-
moneromooo
free28: it depends a lot on your specs, so average isn't super helpful. It can range for maybe 3 hours (SSD, fast machine) to a week (slow rotating hard disk).
-
moneromooo
Using a SSD is the main sync speed factor, by far.
-
free28
Thanks!

MalMen
personal tought: anti-DDoS systems based on PoW could be done for monero where you proof that you make some hashs for yourself
-
MalMen
ie: You login page of site Y require some PoW for validation, it could give us some random nonces range and expect us to give back and hash with some dificulty inside that nonce range, but we can make the PoW work for our wallet rather than the site owner
-
MalMen
I am making some sence ?
-
moneromooo
Yes, in general. Monero's PoW is fairly lengthy to check though.
-
asymptotically
MalMen: when the site owner validates your shares, he will copy your nonce back into his block template
-
asymptotically
and if you change the reward address, the hash probably won't be valid anymore
-
MalMen
asymptotically my point is that it is possible to make a anti-DDoS system where the guy that solve the hard problem get the reward instead of the site owner
-
asymptotically
sorry i worded that badly. the miner can't do that. otherwise a miner would be able to mine on multiple pools at the same time and get rewards from all of them
-
moneromooo
I don't see why it's not possible.
-
asymptotically
i thought he was asking if it was possible for the customer/user to cheat the system
-
moneromooo
Alice asks Bob for a message. Alice mines to her address, including Bob's message in the tx. If she solves a block, she shows it to Bob, who can check his message in in here, with a block that passes difficulty checks.

-
Mochi101
wrong channel
-
Mochi101
:P
-
MalMen
asymptotically I dont want to cheat the system, I am thinking in a new one that could give some incentive to use PoW instead of the damn google recaptchas that are almost default nowadays
-
MalMen
moneromooo yea, kind of that
-
moneromooo
You have to be careful not to turn your anti dos system into a dos system where people go to the site just to play lottery :D
-
asymptotically
ok i understand now, im just a little slow tonight/always :p - i think it would be much better if you just asked for a small payment to use the site though
-
MalMen
well, if the case is to "win lottery" it would be more profitable to just mine xmr directly :P
-
moneromooo
Which non technical people don't do.
-
MalMen
thats right
-
MalMen
github.com/tevador/RandomX Web mining is infeasible due to the large memory requirement and the lack of directed rounding support for floating point operations in both Javascript and WebAssembly.
-
MalMen
damn
-
gingeropolous
eh, but you could do a plugin like primo
-
MalMen
such system would require the browsers to make randomX natively
-
MalMen
well, its way off my league anyway, but I think it would be a good idea to implement if someone thinks of it one day
-
Mochi101
like hashcash?
-
asymptotically
maybe you could say give me a valid monero share with at least x difficulty, then keep a log of all of the shares you've received so that people don't give duplicates
-
Mochi101
Maybe ask flufflypony what he thinks.
-
MalMen
asymptotically yeah, could be something simple like that
-
MalMen
well, thinking better, that will make people with large processing power can just hash in advantage and then using it all at once
-
MalMen
It may be better to force hashs from the current block hight
