hi guys, i'm a bit new to Monero, tried to talk in Telegram but it seems to be very quiet so i seeked my way here
-
vampyren
i'm using the ledger to store my monero i recently got but trying to learn the wallet first...
-
vampyren
i tried to copy the blockchain from C:\ProgramData\bitmonero to D:\Blockchain\bitmonero , is this the folder i point out i the wallet?
-
vampyren
daemon is not starting right now for some reason
-
d4ndo[m]
The wallet is @ Documents\Monero
-
vampyren
if i want to specify a port for the node i'm guessing it has to be in starup flags field?
-
vampyren
find some old picture in google where there is field for IP and port but they are not there in new wallet
-
vampyren
found this: --p2p-bind-port myport
-
vampyren
right?
-
d4ndo[m]
settings -> node -> remote node
-
vampyren
i meant to run local node but defining my own port, maybe its not possible?
-
vampyren
need to do a portforward i think since daemon not starting now
-
d4ndo[m]
Just use 127.0.0.1
-
d4ndo[m]
Or wait let me check for that daemon flag
-
ErCiccione
vampyren: it is possible and you were on the right track with --p2p-bind-port
-
ErCiccione
-
vampyren
ahh nice thanks
-
vampyren
yesterday the wallet started fine but now it wont start the daemon
-
d4ndo[m]
--p2p-bind-port xxxxx
-
vampyren
i did change the location of blockchain
-
vampyren
D:\Blockchain\bitmonero
-
d4ndo[m]
--data-dir D:\Blockchain\bitmonero
-
vampyren
ahhh nice, with the --p2p-bind-port xxxxx it now started fine
-
vampyren
d4ndo[m]: for the Blockchain location there is a dedicated field so i used that field
-
d4ndo[m]
ah - ok
-
vampyren
still good to know the right param :)
-
vampyren
thanks for help
-
d4ndo[m]
np
-
vampyren
one last thing(i hope), now each time i start it ask if i want to use custom setting with the countdown, is there a way to make the wallet use the customer flag without me clicking on "use custom settings" each time?
-
d4ndo[m]
no idea. Anyone!?
-
vampyren
also i see from the stats that blockchain size is about 60GB but my mdb file is 85gb right now, thats a big diff , do i need to do "pruning" ?
-
ErCiccione
is there a way to make the wallet use the customer flag without me clicking on "use custom settings" each time? <-I don't know if those settings are persistent. Selsta?
-
ErCiccione
vampyren: yes, you can prune from the beginning, so your blockchain size will be about 30GB
-
» ErCiccione afk
-
selsta
ErCiccione: not sure what you mean
-
vampyren
thanks
-
vampyren
moneroblocks.info/stats shows full size is 60GB so was wondering why the extra 25GB, maybe normal?
-
asymptotically
vampyren: monero stores it on the disk in a way that makes it faster to access, and that takes up more space
-
vampyren
selsta: i have set custom port but each time i start the wallet there is a countdown....if i dont click on the button "use custom settings" the wallet will use default value, this is fine if the user hasnt change anything but if i have custom value i want them to be used by default
-
ErCiccione
selsta: see vampyren's question above. Unless i misunderstood their question
-
» ErCiccione gotta go now
-
selsta
vampyren: I don’t think this is true.
-
selsta
Use custom settings means that you can change the settings but they should get saved.
-
selsta
So you don’t have to click it.
-
vampyren
sure they are saved, i check the registry in windows but what happens if i dont click on "use custom settings"
-
vampyren
will it actually use the saved values that i have set you mean?
-
vampyren
asymptotically: so the 60GB is expanded to 85GB for fast access you mean?
-
selsta
vampyren: yes
-
selsta
It just means don’t start the daemon yet, I want to go to the settings
-
selsta
it does not mean start with default settings
-
vampyren
ooh i see
-
vampyren
its a bit missleading with the text "use custom settings" in that case
-
vampyren
but now i understand it :)
-
vampyren
thanks guys
-
d4ndo[m]
*is also a bit confused by that popup.
-
selsta
yea that popup should get updated at some point
-
vampyren
i would simply remove the popup or just say daemot starting in... (and show the countdown as is)
-
vampyren
*daemon
-
vampyren
still the wallet has been much improved since last i saw it
-
vampyren
+ ledger support is a huge plus
-
d4ndo[m]
I like the dark mode best.
-
selsta
vampyren: but some people don’t want to start the daemon yet and change settings
-
selsta
I use it often
-
selsta
but yea I guess I will find a solution
-
vampyren
d4ndo[m]agree, i use darkmode in everything, much easier on the eye :)
-
vampyren
selsta: totally agree , that is why i suggested the text should maybe say "Starting the Daemon in"... instead of "use custom settings" , since basically what the button does is stop the Daemon from starting :)
-
selsta
-
selsta
this is one design suggestion ^
-
vampyren
yeah exactly :)
-
d4ndo[m]
Start local node 10 ... 9 [Cancel] [ ] Dont show this popup again.
-
vampyren
i use to make windows application so i love tweaking and making things more easy for end users ;)

vampyren
playing a bit win Mint which is actually the first ever Linux dist that works perfect but sadly Linux wont work with Games and remote desktoping between my boxes isnt that awesome of experience
-
vampyren
still love Mint
-
vampyren
they done a awesome job with the package
-
vampyren
i'm noob at linux so
-
asymptotically
isn't it just debian/ubuntu with insecure package servers and extra vulnerabilities sprinkled in?
-
azy
and a cool name
-
vampyren
sure based on Ubuntu but as a noon it just works, like i installed Ubuntu and spend almost 2 days with people trying to help me get smb to work with my other windows machines and NAS, it just wouldnt work, seemed simple but it refused. And Mint just worked without any issue
-
vampyren
so for noobs its a nice starting point
-
vampyren
btw sorry getting of-topic here :)
-
vampyren
selsta thats is a nice suggestion btw
-
selsta
I was part of the original GUI design but we didn’t implement it yet
-
vampyren
ah i see, hope to see your work in action soon ;)
-
d4ndo[m]
selsta: Looks better. But Is the timeout necessary? Psychologically one feels compelled to press the button although it is not necessary.
-
d4ndo[m]
it's that pressure.XD
-
vampyren
hehe i know the feeling d4ndo[m] :D
-
vampyren
of to lunch, nice talking to u all

hey are subaddresses popular in the monero community?
-
maybefbi
because if you are truly paranoid you should know that there is the janus attack to link to subaddresses by creating a specially crafted transaction
-
selsta

maybefbi
selsta: cool. I didnt know they have already warned users about it

<Donkeybrrrrrr> Is something going on here,
miningpoolstats.stream/loki

<Donkeybrrrrrr> the big chinese pool had a massive hash spike earlier now its not on miningpoolstats

<Donkeybrrrrrr> \x ??

Donkeybrrrrrr: looks like a chain split. im sure its just problems with the traditional banking system and everyones funds are safe :D
-
asymptotically
at least 4 of the top 5 pools are following the same chain, i wonder why miningpoolstats.stream decides to show the shorter mine2gether chain as the main one
-
hv-bridge
<Donkeybrrrrrr> is it possible the big chinese pool forked it on them?
-
Nebraskka
hv-bridge, it could be related to a recent saltstack RCE and malware miners being run on thousands of servers, details:
saltstack/salt #57057

is there a way to make --block-notify not trigger when the daemon isnt synced up yet?

the whole point of topical rooms is to find people to discuss a specific projects. some projects have a social or offtopic channel, and you should be able to find something in channel list if you just want to shoot the shit with anons

netrik182[m]
Maybe someone how knows more about pruned nodes than me could help here. Is this sentence write:
-
netrik182[m]
It only stores 1/8th of unnecessary blockchain data while keeping the full transaction history.
-
netrik182[m]
Or it should read: It only stores 1/8th of necessary blockchain data...
-
netrik182[m]
s/write/right
-
selsta
netrik182[m]: no this is intentional, not sure how to formulate it better
-
selsta
it stores 1/8th of unnecessary ring signature data and prunes 7/8th of it
-
netrik182[m]
Yeah, I get it now. Reading another sentence on this subject I understand. The "unnecessary" that it refers to is a so called "not very important" data
-
netrik182[m]
In my translation I'm leaning to use something in the lines of "non vital data" which makes more sense in Portuguese at least
-
selsta
well I’m sure it could be formulated better :)

selsta

fruitoshisnakamo
I don't really only want to shoot the shit with anons, as I have some affinity to Moneroers... I had bought a fair share of dark now dash coin, and regret not getting monero: I was there from the beginning, and I have nothing to show for it lul
