01:40:41 when not mining it shouldn't use more than 512MB 10:42:06 Maybe this quite interesting list is common knowledge, but I saw it for the first time today: https://fiatmarketcap.com/ 11:29:52 what counts as money? M0? M1? M3? 11:47:09 Looks like M2 if I compare the number given for the USD with this here: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/money-supply-m0 12:39:52 Wow someone really likes wownero on TradeOgre 12:40:07 the future is wow :) 12:40:32 The next best thing since sliced bread maybe 13:21:44 Inge-: definitely want to see your results :D 13:22:13 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. 13:22:30 On your monster rig? 13:22:35 1h is nuts 13:22:51 I've seen 4-6 on my crappy NVMe drive and 1950X 13:22:56 But its always running other nodes/procs at the same time 13:22:57 I think the hashes or whatever is included to help has a lot to do with it just after release 13:23:15 at least it seemed to me that it synced far faster JUST after release, than the next time I tried it 13:23:19 True, you get a more recent checkpoint after a major release 13:23:28 But still have to validate a bunch either way 13:27:04 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 13:36:27 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 13:37:06 resumed monerod and immediate jump to 100C on one core. Sigh. 13:37:33 no you have to make some physical change 13:37:52 indeed 13:37:55 No CPU should reach 100C, that means your cooling setup is very broken. 13:38:01 I'd turn it off immediately if I was you 13:38:22 hah. I ran my xeons around 100c for weeks. I wonder how much life I took out of them 13:38:25 it's just thermal throttling to save itself ATM 13:39:45 hm. it is an Intel NUC. so check fan and replace thermal paste I guess. 13:40:26 Yeah, and clean up dust 13:40:37 But probably needs new paste, or the cooler just isn't seated properly. 13:40:54 :X yikes, poor CPU ☹️ 13:42:56 yeah that was a failing fan. But those things are rugged. been running 24/7 for quite a few years. 13:43:09 and pretty much 100% cpu since .. Nov 30th last year 13:43:27 but at a somewhat nicer 77-78C 13:44:15 much better 🤣 13:48:39 unfortunately the 3970x is a bad boy to cool, so it mostly runs around 80C 13:48:55 hoping for better cooling solutions in the future. 13:49:39 Eh thats not bad at all, you just lose some performance for higher temps 13:49:52 What are you using to cool that? Custom LC loop or a high-end air cooler? 13:50:04 just high end noctua with TR4 baseplate 13:50:06 so air 13:50:33 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 13:50:51 so hoping for a nice TR4 style water cooling solution in the future. 13:51:05 yeah a push/pull would help a bit but that's a LOT of TDP to get away from the CPU lol 13:51:12 Would probably have to build a custom LC loop 13:51:27 To get better temps out of it assuming you have good fans/paste on the Noctua already 13:58:24 yeah not sure what I can improve on the fan front here now. with dual fans doing push-pull over the heat sink 13:58:35 and good airflow through the case. 14:00:28 i use a 50cm box fan on my pc, makes quite a big difference :D 14:05:00 lol I'm sure 14:06:28 sethsimmons: 58% now. around block 1 270 500 not sure what the bottleneck is. CPU is just cruising along at 1.1GHZ 14:07:02 Yeah it never maxes out any CPU I've used 14:07:10 It's normally just IO AFAICT 14:07:32 well, it does intermittent spikes up to 4ghz and short jumps to 100C, but mostly sticks around 70c and low speed 14:12:03 oof shut that poor thing down 14:15:15 hm. disk queue length seems to be only 0.32 17:14:30 sethsimmons: still running, 94% now. I also started a test run on the Threadripper/nvme raid 17:23:37 nice 17:23:44 pretty quick overall it seems! 17:25:02 yeah not too bad, with the SSD and decent internet. Given it some competition now. 17:25:07 TR: 29% 17:25:15 NUC: 94% 17:25:29 Its a race :D 17:26:59 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. 17:29:20 heh. at 40% of the blocks, only 6GB of space used. 17:39:19 NUC: 95% TR: 57% 17:42:50 Come on TR you can do it 17:46:20 has about 10x as many transactions to go 17:46:49 heh. the NUC can boost to 4Ghz, so not much of a clock speed advantage (assuming cooling works ...) 17:47:22 Yeah, but clock speed isn't a very useful metric these days 17:47:30 Thats a mobile CPU vs a server CPU 17:47:37 And a beast of a server CPU at that 17:47:46 sure. but like 95% of it isn't helping :P 17:48:06 Touche :P 17:48:43 yeah. my old atom laptop is maybe half the clockrate but more than 10x slower on useful work 17:48:55 like compiling a tex document 17:49:17 Yeah can't compare at all on clockrate 17:49:30 Especially since boost is very variable, so boost clocks are even worse of a comparison 17:51:23 heh. the TR is slowing down now around 60& 17:51:25 60% 17:51:51 yeah thats where you start having to actually do some work :P 18:13:49 NUC: 97% TR: 64% 18:27:14 \quit 18:27:17 \exit 18:32:05 try / 18:33:53 #monero /exit 18:34:07 messed up the joke. too bad heh 18:45:28 NUC: 98% (39K left) TR: 68% (689K left) 18:52:21 there's still hope 18:57:38 Fading fast, unless the TR does an amazing comeback at the end 19:01:29 Are they on the same LAN ? Maybe the TR could launch a DoS attack against the other... 19:02:15 the threadripper could try heating up your room to kill the nuc. like a fever and a virus 19:02:41 Oooh, deniable out of band attack, clever. 19:27:08 Like bees killing murder hornets 19:28:04 NUC: 98% (23.6K) TR: 74% (544K) 19:41:15 I like water-cooling. Simply because it is much more comfortable to mount. 19:41:55 There is no difference in performance. 19:44:57 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 19:45:16 TR is speeding up now, currently at 78% 19:50:26 Is anyone here from /biz/ 19:58:29 i'm here from /r9k/. (no, not really.) 20:11:57 NUC: 99% (12K) TR: 93% (140K) 20:15:58 NUC: 11K TR: 100K 20:16:36 looks like it the TR + raid0 nvme might get the upper hand after all 20:16:51 wow 20:19:07 NUC: 10K TR: 72K 20:23:52 NUC: 8K7 TR: 39K 20:35:34 those last 30K blocks are pretty tough for the TR as well 20:35:59 NUC: 4K8 TR: 29K 20:51:12 Aaaand the NUC takes the win, with 25K odd blocks remaining for the TR 20:53:56 7.5 hours full sync from scratch 22:55:35 We finally got BTC working for payments at shop.monerodevices.com today (for pre Defcon badge distribution.)
