when not mining it shouldn't use more than 512MB

<rbrunner7> Maybe this quite interesting list is common knowledge, but I saw it for the first time today:

what counts as money? M0? M1? M3?
-

<rbrunner7> Looks like M2 if I compare the number given for the USD with this here:

sethsimmons
Inge-: definitely want to see your results :D
-
Inge-
sethsimmons: I did a sync right after one of the releases, and then it took like 1 hour from start to finish. SSD + reasonably OK cpu.
-
sethsimmons
On your monster rig?
-
sethsimmons
1h is nuts
-
sethsimmons
I've seen 4-6 on my crappy NVMe drive and 1950X
-
sethsimmons
But its always running other nodes/procs at the same time
-
Inge-
I think the hashes or whatever is included to help has a lot to do with it just after release
-
Inge-
at least it seemed to me that it synced far faster JUST after release, than the next time I tried it
-
sethsimmons
True, you get a more recent checkpoint after a major release
-
sethsimmons
But still have to validate a bunch either way
-
Inge-
I think I got like 1 hr on this same hw just after relase, but like 4 hours later. and quite similar on ssd + xeon E5-2670
-
Inge-
cooling is definitely not up-to-snuff on that box. shut down all the cpu-hogs, cpu low powering down to about 1Ghz on all cores and struggling to get cpu cores below 70C
-
Inge-
resumed monerod and immediate jump to 100C on one core. Sigh.
-
sethsimmons
no you have to make some physical change
-
Inge-
indeed
-
sethsimmons
No CPU should reach 100C, that means your cooling setup is very broken.
-
sethsimmons
I'd turn it off immediately if I was you
-
Inge-
hah. I ran my xeons around 100c for weeks. I wonder how much life I took out of them
-
sethsimmons
it's just thermal throttling to save itself ATM
-
Inge-
hm. it is an Intel NUC. so check fan and replace thermal paste I guess.
-
sethsimmons
Yeah, and clean up dust
-
sethsimmons
But probably needs new paste, or the cooler just isn't seated properly.
-
sethsimmons
<Inge- "hah. I ran my xeons around 100c "> :X yikes, poor CPU ☹️
-
Inge-
yeah that was a failing fan. But those things are rugged. been running 24/7 for quite a few years.
-
Inge-
and pretty much 100% cpu since .. Nov 30th last year
-
Inge-
but at a somewhat nicer 77-78C
-
sethsimmons
much better 🤣
-
Inge-
unfortunately the 3970x is a bad boy to cool, so it mostly runs around 80C
-
Inge-
hoping for better cooling solutions in the future.
-
sethsimmons
Eh thats not bad at all, you just lose some performance for higher temps
-
sethsimmons
What are you using to cool that? Custom LC loop or a high-end air cooler?
-
Inge-
just high end noctua with TR4 baseplate
-
Inge-
so air
-
Inge-
with an extra fan, but not .. a fan of that fan - as it provides a bit of an irritating noise, and doesn't help all that much
-
Inge-
so hoping for a nice TR4 style water cooling solution in the future.
-
sethsimmons
yeah a push/pull would help a bit but that's a LOT of TDP to get away from the CPU lol
-
sethsimmons
Would probably have to build a custom LC loop
-
sethsimmons
To get better temps out of it assuming you have good fans/paste on the Noctua already
-
Inge-
yeah not sure what I can improve on the fan front here now. with dual fans doing push-pull over the heat sink
-
Inge-
and good airflow through the case.
-
asymptotically
i use a 50cm box fan on my pc, makes quite a big difference :D
-
Inge-
lol I'm sure
-
Inge-
sethsimmons: 58% now. around block 1 270 500 not sure what the bottleneck is. CPU is just cruising along at 1.1GHZ
-
sethsimmons
Yeah it never maxes out any CPU I've used
-
sethsimmons
It's normally just IO AFAICT
-
Inge-
well, it does intermittent spikes up to 4ghz and short jumps to 100C, but mostly sticks around 70c and low speed
-
sethsimmons
oof shut that poor thing down
-
Inge-
hm. disk queue length seems to be only 0.32
-
Inge-
sethsimmons: still running, 94% now. I also started a test run on the Threadripper/nvme raid
-
sethsimmons
nice
-
sethsimmons
pretty quick overall it seems!
-
Inge-
yeah not too bad, with the SSD and decent internet. Given it some competition now.
-
Inge-
TR: 29%
-
Inge-
NUC: 94%
-
sethsimmons
Its a race :D
-
Inge-
100K blocks left vs 1.4m blocks left ... I'd be pretty sad if the NUC doesn't win easy. up to 60-75% is fairly quick, but then it gets thorny for a while.
-
Inge-
heh. at 40% of the blocks, only 6GB of space used.
-
Inge-
NUC: 95% TR: 57%
-
sethsimmons
Come on TR you can do it
-
Inge-
has about 10x as many transactions to go
-
Inge-
heh. the NUC can boost to 4Ghz, so not much of a clock speed advantage (assuming cooling works ...)
-
sethsimmons
Yeah, but clock speed isn't a very useful metric these days
-
sethsimmons
Thats a mobile CPU vs a server CPU
-
sethsimmons
And a beast of a server CPU at that
-
Inge-
sure. but like 95% of it isn't helping :P
-
sethsimmons
Touche :P
-
artefact
yeah. my old atom laptop is maybe half the clockrate but more than 10x slower on useful work
-
artefact
like compiling a tex document
-
sethsimmons
Yeah can't compare at all on clockrate
-
sethsimmons
Especially since boost is very variable, so boost clocks are even worse of a comparison
-
Inge-
heh. the TR is slowing down now around 60&
-
Inge-
60%
-
sethsimmons
yeah thats where you start having to actually do some work :P
-
Inge-
NUC: 97% TR: 64%

-
sethsimmons
there's still hope
-
Inge-
Fading fast, unless the TR does an amazing comeback at the end
-
moneromooo
Are they on the same LAN ? Maybe the TR could launch a DoS attack against the other...
-
asymptotically
the threadripper could try heating up your room to kill the nuc. like a fever and a virus
-
moneromooo
Oooh, deniable out of band attack, clever.
-
Inge-
Like bees killing murder hornets
-
Inge-
NUC: 98% (23.6K) TR: 74% (544K)
-
d4ndo[m]
I like water-cooling. Simply because it is much more comfortable to mount.
-
d4ndo[m]
There is no difference in performance.
-
Inge-
I can tell you that the 280mm radiator with fans on my water cooling AIOs are way more silent than the Noctua fan cooler, when both run at full tilt
-
Inge-
TR is speeding up now, currently at 78%
-

Is anyone here from /biz/

i'm here from /r9k/. (no, not really.)

-
Inge-
NUC: 11K TR: 100K
-
Inge-
looks like it the TR + raid0 nvme might get the upper hand after all
-
sethsimmons
wow
-
Inge-
NUC: 10K TR: 72K
-
Inge-
NUC: 8K7 TR: 39K
-
Inge-
those last 30K blocks are pretty tough for the TR as well
-
Inge-
NUC: 4K8 TR: 29K
-
Inge-
Aaaand the NUC takes the win, with 25K odd blocks remaining for the TR
-
Inge-
7.5 hours full sync from scratch

We finally got BTC working for payments at shop.monerodevices.com today (for pre Defcon badge distribution.) Still no XMR, no COD, no SEPA, sorry.

If anybody is waiting for their badge and wants to use XMR, just ask separately. Either during Defcon in our village Discord channel or by email.
