I got a question

does anyone have a torrent version of the blockchain?

no

ok

sync up using the daemon, it also uses P2P

Yes.

!torrent

something like that.

.torrent

.torrent

!torrent

huh, weird

selsta: it is clearer. thanks for the link. An account is a selection of subaddresses derived from the seed, and then presented to the user as a collection. if you create another account, they are still subaddresses derived from the seed, but presented as a separate collection. However, there is still only one main (4....) address/public key for your wallet, correct?

Correcto

who in here uses Monero?

If I want to backup my wallet all I need to do is to backup the .key file right?

And the password.

Will it also backup the accounts/addresses/labels?

No. You need the wallet cache for that.

Where do I find the cache?

Next to the keys file. If your keys file is foo.keys, the cache file is foo.

Is integrated addresses still a thing?

Yes.

What is the command to create one?

ErCiccione[m]: I'd suggest checking in MRL regarding the audit - sarang probably has fairly up-to-date information on it. But clearly the actual fork/release date for including clsag is still months off.

integrated_address

Is the payment ID integrated into the matched address?

Defined "matched".

matching*

Define "matching".

A payment ID is integrated into the integrated address, if that answers your question.

So the payment id returned is more for lookup?

I don't understand what you're asking.

monero address + payment_id = integrated address (only short form payment id. the older long form payment IDs are no longer usable)

Which address will it use to create the integrated one?

The one from the wallet you run it from, unless you specify another as parameter.

er, I think it can do that, lemme check...

No, it doesn't. So it's your address.

The one labeled "Primary address"?

Probably. The one that starts with 4, there's just one.

Inge-: is sarang himself that passed the task of organizing the audits to the audit orkgroup or whatever is called, but yeah, he is definitely more informed than me about that

So all other addresses are derived from the one starting with 4?

They're derived from your secret keys, from which your main address is also derived.

Does anyone in the Monero community speak Korean?

So if I backup my key (without cache) I will end up with only my address starting with 4?

You can regenerate the subaddresses, but not the labels (since they're whatever you typed at the time and are saved in the cache).

What are the chances of generating the same integrated address again?

Depends. If you use incrementing numbers, 0 until you generated 2^64 of them. If random, 1/2^64 if you generated one. If you use a bad random thing, more than that.

is that the [device] parameter?

BinaryFate just posted this: 1. Potential 32~64 rings w/ similar size and verification time as now (now=11), 2. 5-25% speed up for BP verification, including past transactions. Faster sync for all wallets soon!, 3. 50-70% speed up verification of future txs. Anybody know if this requires hard fork?

1. yes, 2. no, 3. not sure I think yes

"2. no" no speedup or no hard fork required?

no hardfork required

No hardfork required.

3. not technically, but yes if implemented will be with a hard fork

Although many BTC maxis will keep telling you about the awesome privacy of Lightning...

You have to understand Lightning as a metaphor

to discuss it in the year of our Lord 2020 is pointless

It was relevant during the block size debate - Cash people said "bad scaling" and Core people said "but what about LN tho, just check back in 18 months"

ex-post, it's not of any relevance at all

a metaphor for ED or..?

ED?

BTC maximalists remind of Star Citizen backers (a pc game in production for 8 years). They just keep on plowing money into a dead idea.

Very old editor.

thought that was spelled ed

either way

Some old systems had only uppercase if memory serves :D

ed, man! !man ed

dead? nah, it's just ran its course and transmuted into something different

lol., tone vays got his yt channel banned

how did he manage that?

Sounds like YT is taking a hard stance against crypto to me

except the Google coin

And dont forget CCP coin. I guess china is moving full speed ahead with their centralized crypto.

hey folks

xmr noob here

I'm having some issues and was wondering if anyone would be able to help me

waddup ckbd19

just ask and see

aight, cool

so I just bought my first xmr yesterday and tried to set up the offical wallet but gave up on it after realizing the size of the daemon

and now I've got it all up and running on a remote node

but the funds I sent to my wallet aren't showing up

nor are any transactions

I have the xmrchain info but no idea how to decipher it

pretty sure the funds went through but idk how to really check or how to make sure they end up in my wallet

Is your wallet fully synchronized?

it says it is

I'm going through settings now to make sure

ckbd19: are you using the CLI or GUI?

gui

Check in the lower left corner (GUI) if the wallet is synchronized.

it says it is

ckbd19: monero.stackexchange.com/questions/…hat-my-transaction-actually-arrived

You can use that to verify the transaction

and for futher info check this out: monero.stackexchange.com/questions/…nsaction-to-in-the-gui-zero-balance

yeah I actually already have both of those pulled up lol

I'll try again real quick

I just put status in on the log and got a could not connect to daemon

that's probably my issue

Easiest way to fix it if you received the coins but they are not showing up: Go to Settings -> Info, click on Change wallet restore height and enter the date you first started using this wallet in YYYY-MM-DD format

ckbd19 yeah for sure. glad u found the issue!

then click ok if it asks you to rescan

thanks for the help y'all

(^^)/

are there any remote nodes you can recommend?

node.xmr.to 18081

sweet, thanks

node.supportxmr.com 18081

ahh I'm still getting couldn't connect to daemon. I bet my router is giving me trouble again.

it should look like this when properly connected

yeah I'm getting that but in the log it's giving me the ol' "2020-04-16 22:19:03.569 I Generating SSL certificate

Error: Couldn't connect to daemon: 127.0.0.1:18081"

are you using simple mode or advanced mode? you can check on settings -> info

advanced

okay, on settings -> node you selected remote node and entered node.xmr.to port 18081?

yep, that's what I did

and then clicked connect?

yeah

I even tried restarting the client

what does it say in the bottom left corner?

network status

remote node

okay, sounds like you are connected

> Error: Couldn't connect to daemon: 127.0.0.1:18081

the number by "daemon is synchronized" is steadily increasing

is normal due to using a restricted remote node

ah, so should I run it as admin?

no, you are using a public remote node

which means you can’t execute commands on the daemon

oh. durr. lol

due to it being restricted

should've realized that

hmm

the message is confusing

the entirety of xmr is confusing to me haha

compared to other cryptos I've dealt with anyway

privacy makes things more complicated

for suure

did your transaction show up?

nothing yet

or is it still increasing?

it's still going up

ok

it's at like 2078306

would that mean it's still synching?

and the bar above?

what does it say

The current block height is 2,078,306.

that is current height

I mean both wallet and daemon say they're synchronized

okay and no transaction?

nothing

did you do what I asked in the beginning with changing wallet restore height?

I'm gonna try now

I think that might've done it, the wallet is synching again now

still nothing?

still synching

and nothing

ah ok, misread :)

yeah it finished and nothing changed

ok, are you sure that you received monero in the first place?

did you send from an exchange?

yeah

do you have a transaction id?

hold up I have the xmrchain info right here

would it be safe to link that?

if so I'll just post the url here so you can get a look at it

yes. if you prefer you can PM it

okay, two ideas

what does it say as your restore height when you go to settings -> info?

well, since I reset it, it says 20200415

okay, can you restore a new wallet from your seed and enter 2077500 as your restore height?

probably, it'll take me a minute though

ok, just restored it, connecting now

that did it selsta

thank you so much for helping me

hmmm

should have shown up the first time when changing the restore height

yeah idk why it didn't. probably because of the weird shit I did in the beginning trying to do a local node and aborting

possibly, wallet restore has always been kinda finicky

especially if you don't run your own node

because you actually have to scan every block to see if it has any of your txs

yeah I figured as much. I think I went into it a little too quickly the way I did things

like I didn't realize I'd need 30gb

lol

it's not like bitcoin where you can just give it your addresses and it knows which blocks you need

yeah, that's not something I learned until today

xmr is pretty awesome from the privacy side of things

I find the mobile wallets are pretty good, maybe cause they basically always rely on remote nodes

monerujo and cake

good job selsta

good to know, I've been looking into getting mobile wallets for a couple of different cryptos

CRYPTO IS NOT CRYPTOCURRENCY ಠ_ಠ ~ IT REFERS TO CRYPTOGRAPHY, ckbd19

lol

nice bot

restoring from seed is usually solves everything lol

so, if we image monero will become the future world currency the size of the blockchain would increase faster and faster and it would get bigger and bigger. running a local node wouldn't be practible anymore right? it just took me half of the day to sync my new local node. isnt that a problem?

I was kinda wondering the same thing earlier propatte

since I waited like 24 hours and wasn't finished before I got low enough on space to give up on it

half a day to sync 6 years is not too bad

it can be synced in 2 hours on good hardware

propatte, this is why bitcoin keeps blocks at 1 MB

it's just impractal for new users who might want to make a transaction right away

fullnode blockchain is ~80Gb ;-) Sync 1-2 Days

that's why there are public remote nodes

ckbd19: you can start the daemon with --bootstrap-daemon-address auto

average block size now is probably 50 kb or so

yeah the remote nodes make it more feasible

and why the wallet sets a default retore height of "today"

even with increased activity lately

it will sync and you can start using the coin instantly due to it connecting automatically to a remote node

damn that's cool

so still way less data being added per day than bitcoin

however, it is more computationally expensive to verify monero blocks as well

so it syncs and uses a remote node at the same time and once you are fully synced up it switches to your node

is it worth trying to mine on a system not built for mining?

ckbd19, CPUs are really the only thing worth mining with now

I have a quadcore xeon and a 1050ti, was considering giving it a go

yeah a friend of mine had told me that the other day

the GPU will be a waste of electricity

you might get a few mXMR per day

hm, not too bad

and Intel chips in general have not enough on-chip cache to fully utilize them

but you might do OK using 50% or less of the CPU

I don't know what you would get with xeon, but 10 kh/s would earn about 0.01 xmr/day

yeah if I did it at all it'd be background mining

my i7 gets about 3 kh/s

your i7 is probably a lot more powerful

don't mine with the GUI tho

unless you want to solo mine

this pc is a lenovo thinkserver from like 2014

I think that is "background mining"

what is most important total cache size or total core number

so it probably wouldn't be great for it

newyearday: there is no "most important" - everything must be balanced.

that's some real zen shit right there hyc

=b

lol

ok well I'm outta here, I desperately need a shower to wash away my anxiety sweats lmao. thanks again for the help y'all.

which is better Xeon® E7-8857 Opteron(TM) Processor 6272

for mining

I'm new with monero. Someone tried 'solo mining'. Full node on supermicro blade E3-1230 v5 CPU 32Gb Ram?

boldsuck, what is your hashrate

I started remote node with 'monerod --start-mining --mining-threads 4 --detach'. How can I see the hash rate? In the debug log?

Try ./monerod status

It should show the hashrate

Ahh, OK: :-) Height: 2078322/2078322 (100.0%) on mainnet, mining at 1.92 kH/s, net hash 1.24 GH/s, v12, up to date, 64(out)+36(in) connections, uptime 0d 3h 58m 21s

Looks good :)

If you want to exit it, you can run ./monerod exit

I think that's totally awesome with the separate wallet and the daemon.

For all the commands, I have to create bash aliases.

exit? No server rus 24/7/365. a tor-relay

*runs

./monerod mining_status

Nice. ;-) help shows all commands

Are there any instructions on setting up a tor node on windoze?

bigslim[m] windows was over 20 years ago. Do you mean a client or relay?
