00:00:04 hi 00:00:12 the cake wallet telegram group was banned a few minutes ago 00:00:15 same with my account 00:00:19 we have no idea why 00:00:31 hmm annoying 00:00:46 The payment is safe, unless there is a rare flaw in the generation of your keys multifractal_: 00:01:02 selsta: yes. where it says "address"? 00:01:06 yes 00:01:30 it's on a different computer i don't know how i could paste that long string to you 00:01:41 is it a .onion remote node? 00:01:46 yeah 00:01:52 hmm, maybe this node is down 00:02:05 try a different one 00:02:41 there should be a list here: xmrguide42y34onq.onion 00:02:52 Why would it report as synchronized though 00:03:18 changing node as first step is still good to find the root cause of the issue 00:05:54 selsta: ok i selected one of the addresses from the list on that site, and hit connect. it says same as before, daemon is synchronized, synchronizing wallet progress bar is unfilled. 00:06:14 maybe i'm on an old version or something 00:10:23 multifractal_: which version are you using? 00:10:29 you have to use v0.17.1.1 00:10:38 you can check on Settings -> Info 00:10:54 yeah it's out of date 00:11:28 KnifeOfPi_: does Telegram have support? 00:12:14 Vik already contacted them 00:34:46 So now I'm on version 0.17.1.1, and both progress bars are filled (wallet is synchronized, daemon is synchronized). But I still haven't got the payment I was expecting from elude. Maybe I just need to be more patient but it's been a few hours. It's always been quicker than that for me before. 00:37:13 Do you have a transaction id / hash? 00:38:26 selsta: yeah 00:38:49 can you enter it on xmrchain.net ? is it found thre? 00:38:51 there 00:41:05 selsta: it found no result. but maybe i'm not entering the correct information. looks like what i have is the transation id of the btc deposit i made to elude. 00:41:39 it should look like this: 862cb15734ea10daebcb374e595a0d6798108266189b0d6730626d712ad36b19 00:41:59 not sure what elude is, but they should provide a transaction id usually 00:45:20 https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/jfowx7/telegram_has_banned_the_cake_wallet_community/ 00:45:27 the post is saying it got removed...? 00:45:47 needmoney90: ^ 00:46:27 approved, I thought kop was on the cake filter 00:46:49 knifeofpi_ can you or vik PM me on telegram? 00:47:15 my telegram account is banned, i'll use my alt 00:47:19 what's your telegram username? 00:47:33 needmoney90 00:47:45 KnifeOfPi_: are you logged in twice on irc? 00:47:55 KnifeOfPi also seems to exist 00:48:07 pretty sure that's from my phone? not sure 00:48:30 hmm, okay, just asking with people impersonating cake wallet team members :P but your reddit account looks legit 00:48:47 hi 00:48:49 yes that is me 00:48:51 lmao 00:49:01 i just have my irccloud poorly configured 00:49:22 you can use the same login details on desktop / mobile 00:51:28 oh, i just mean i had two sessions open 00:52:02 oh it looks like my btc payment to elude (btc>xmr converter) had 0 confirmations and never went through. not sure what that's about i just used the default options when making that payment. 00:52:23 bitcoin mempool is full 00:52:39 lots of transactions I guess 00:53:34 i'm just relieved i didn't lose a bunch of money. i'll try again later when i'm less sleep deprived. 00:53:45 thank you for your help 01:03:40 Is elude trustworthy? 02:31:37 selsta: is the proper way to set --limit-rate-up/down to unlimited to set them to -1? 02:31:54 I never noticed those were set to a fairly low bandwidth number until today. 02:32:10 Testing a pruned sync with 256 out_peers and both limit-rate set to -1 02:32:32 limit_down -1 does not work here 02:32:48 ah, do I have to just set an arbitrarily high number? 02:32:54 just set e.g. 100000 or so 02:33:04 ok great 02:34:55 sethsimmons: wait, when doing pruned sync adding --prune-synced-blocks might help 02:35:08 --sync-pruned-blocks 02:35:40 I'll wait to test pruning 02:35:50 restarted this without for a better comparison to my other non-pruned syncs 02:36:01 But ill save that detail for later :)\ 02:39:40 Although it’s probably not a great test as I’m also syncing Bitcoin Core at the same time 04:40:27 Monero is <3 05:28:04 My entire monerod system just rebooted 05:28:16 Spooky 05:32:20 Now I'm more confused as to how it rebooted, I didn't have the wallet open to summon it. It rebooted by itself, and I didn't know Qubes could do that. 05:37:34 All it did was complain about slow blocks and missing peers in the log, but that was 2 hours ago unless the clock is wrong. 05:38:42 slow block warning is normal 05:38:49 so that is not related 05:39:20 That's why I said it was 2 hours ago 05:42:10 This happened every hour it says 05:42:10 https://paste.debian.net/hidden/c49dbf26 08:16:01 selsta: that tweet you posted "This is not available for you" .. oh well. 08:41:32 Inge-: reload. happens alot with shitstagram lately 09:15:40 charolastra: you were right. 09:16:04 yeah, very stupid error message 09:27:46 Hi, who knows how to set up i2p on mac os? 09:29:00 i2p-zero? 09:35:15 ++ 09:35:53 or is there a working node? 09:36:10 What? 09:36:38 https://github.com/i2p-zero/i2p-zero 09:36:43 https://web.getmonero.org/resources/user-guides/node-i2p-zero.html 09:37:27 The seed nodes are listed in the second link 09:37:56 node tor with https://moneroworld.com/ does not work ( 09:39:02 You asked about I2P? I2P uses a different protocol and doesn't use Tor links. 09:45:16 I understand. ip2 could not be configured, so I decided through the tor node, but the wallet does not connect through it ( 10:35:47 korteshok: what error is displayed? 12:16:20 ids habbeding 12:17:14 btc rise, monero rise too 12:17:17 why don't you guys open a matrix chat? come over at halogen.city 12:17:45 Telegram has pretty shady policies with groups 12:18:17 marmulak: for example? 12:19:16 they just block people from joining them randomly, like in the past because I had registered an Iranian phone number I just couldn't join group links at all 12:19:35 With Iran, there are some dicey issues. 12:19:40 they probably have some control algorithm to compartmentalize their user base 12:20:51 Telegram doesn't let Iranian users from chatting in some of the groups. I guess this was due to gobbermint of Iran threatening to ban the Telegram from Iran completely. 12:22:08 I'm not sure Telegram cares if it gets banned there or not. They made a big deal about fighting Russian blocking attempts but when Iran blocked Telegram a while back they did nothing. I think for them it's more of a QoS issue, just blocking a country helps keep the groups clean from spam and people who don't speak English 12:22:32 but one can only guess 12:22:39 since it's not transparent 12:22:56 yeah that's something i don't like about tg 13:10:45 Hello everyone, it seems the telegram monerotipbot is already working. I will make an external transaction and will update everyone. Thank you. 13:15:24 .seen luigi1111w 13:15:33 ded 13:19:30 can you write the telegram username of that bot? I want to confirm that I am sending xmr to a legit bot. 13:20:12 @MoneroTipBot try with a smal amount first 13:20:22 small** 13:20:25 tiny 13:22:34 i want to run an open node. What string can i put in my conf to disable mining permanently? I dont want anyone interacting with the node to be able to change settings or enable mining 13:23:04 --restricted-rpc 13:23:24 ok. I have that, i wasnt sure if there was more i needed. thanks 15:28:46 selsta: 256 out_peers and --limit-rate-up 1000000000 --limit-rate-down 1000000000: 15:28:46 Sync time: 148.826 min, idle time 1.48358%, 83654.2 + 32799 MB downloaded, 6.04369% old spans, 0.214233% bad spans 15:28:50 HW: 3700X/16GB/1TB NVMe SSD 15:29:26 2.5h? 15:29:37 is that better than last time? 15:31:15 8 out_peers: Sync time: 590.647 min, idle time 71.2448%, 70988.6 + 318.8 MB downloaded, 5.07672% old spans, 0.00153747% bad spans 15:31:21 50 out_peers: 3h57m 15:31:29 So yes, out_peers has a dramatic impact on IBD 15:32:04 We may want to look at either just bumping the default out_peers during IBD, or having some programmatic way of increasing it until the bottleneck lies somewhere else on each system 15:34:03 I guess that all depends on your total bandwidth available 15:34:27 your ISP gives you more than any of your peers has, so you're kinda lucky in that regard 15:35:29 True, I do have 1gbps up/down, but I'm not hitting anywhere near that during the IBD 15:35:50 Would love someone with a worse ISP connection to test 8/50/256 out_peers and see what they get 15:36:51 if you have 1 gbps down, wouldn't it ultimately be faster to just download the lmdb file outright? 15:37:16 I've tested with a single peer on my LAN. should be possible to setup arbitrarily many peers on LAN and use tc or something to control their speed 15:37:51 Probably, but thats neither a good test of IBD, nor is it full verification, which I always want to do 15:37:58 I would never trust someone elses bootstrap TBH 15:38:21 full verification? i thought you only had to check the top of a tree hash to ensure integrity of the whole tree? (like a git HEAD) 15:38:50 how do you know what the top should be? 15:39:03 if you're downloading an entire DB and only check the hash of the last block, you have no idea what's in the rest of the DB 15:40:05 right, the db itself isn't a tree, my bad 15:46:02 sethsimmons: it would be nice to try increasing number of peers until either CPU is maxed or banwidth is maxed 15:46:18 yeah will have to keep raising it and testing 15:46:31 Maybe I'll just try 4096 and see where I get bottlenecked lol! 15:46:33 but getting reliable stats for that will be a pain, highly non-portable 15:47:45 also a bit of luck involved, since some peers will be faster than others. 15:48:28 if you had an algorithm that doubled out_peers every N seconds while polling stats, then backing down again to zero in on an optimal value 15:48:58 when you reduced out_peers again you'd be eliminating connections of varying speed. so, not easy to optimize 15:49:07 That’s seems to be the best past forward, but not simple 15:50:29 sethsimmons: m5m400 had pretty similar hardware, also gigabit 15:50:37 but at least your sync was faster this time 15:50:53 There's one other thing you might want to do, is try to use the fastest peers to request the spans you need next. 15:56:42 Hi guys 15:57:28 I'm trying to invoke Monero RPC API using C++ but I get a parse error. Here is the JSON-RPC string 15:57:43 std::string params = "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"id\":\"0\",\"method\":\"import_multisig_info\",\"params\":{\"info\":[\""+ms_info+"\"]}}"; 15:58:04 {"code":-1,"message":"Error calling import_multisig"} 15:58:51 looking in the source code it seems such error comes from WALLET_RPC_ERROR_CODE_UNKNOWN_ERROR case 16:08:23 selsta: sethsimmons: it's worth mentioning that I maintain ~ 10 other nodes in the same physical DC. didn't check the peer list if they were used in syncing, but might well have been the case. usually north of block 2M when syncing I see intermittent slowdowns, but that night data just kept pouring in... 16:08:24 Did you bump the logs ? 16:09:29 M5M400: v0.17.1.1 has super recent checkpoints so probably only a couple days were fully verified 16:09:39 yes it says "Wrong number of multisig sources" 16:34:41 Good to see monero bouncing back today :) 17:48:44 Is someone here who has a stagenet node running? 17:49:05 yes 17:49:34 I'm still looking for a P2P onion address 17:49:50 P2P !RPC 17:50:35 stagenet blockchain is ~2gb 17:50:52 https://community.xmr.to/nodes.html 17:50:55 did you try this one? 17:51:01 xmrtof3g2rwu6xia.onion:38081 17:51:22 :-) Thanks I've been looking for it for a week 17:55:01 :-( these are all RPC addresses for the wallet. I'm looking for P2P for --add-peer (seednode) 17:55:27 sorry misread your last comment 17:55:46 I have one running on mainnet 17:55:54 (Tor), but not stagenet :/ 17:58:08 My mainnet also runs as .onion. wanted to test beforehand via stagenet 18:00:16 If binaryFate is online I have to ask him. xmr.to has a stagnet Tor node. 18:01:08 boldsuck, https://community.xmr.to/nodes.html 18:01:59 These are all RPC addresses for the wallet. !P2P 18:02:37 stagenet tor: xmrtof3g2rwu6xia.onion 18:02:40 Did you try all these with 38080 ? 18:02:58 38081 (default) 18:03:06 scroll to the bottom of the page 18:05:19 guess it would be 38080 hey 18:05:27 Tried 38083. I'll take 38081 18:05:39 and 38080 18:06:30 I have 9 incoming Tor peers but only 1 outgoing hmm 18:06:33 Might be 65536 18:06:41 guess many run without anonymous-inbound 18:22:22 Interesting first stat -- averaging ~380 peers with out_peers set to 4096 18:22:36 So I'm guessing thats near the max public nodes I can reach on the network 18:22:44 how long did you wait? 18:22:51 I didn't block the AHPs, so its possible I'm getting a good chunk of useless peers 18:23:09 sync has been going about 2h I think, but will have a firm time in a minute,a lmost done syncing 18:23:18 if you want to test with blocking: https://gui.xmr.pm/files/block.txt :P 18:23:34 is this windows or linux? 18:26:41 heh 18:26:43 Windows 10 18:26:46 v0.17.1.1 18:29:04 ok I had a daemon compiled with --block-list functionality but only on linux 18:29:51 so guess we can’t test that until we have a new release 18:32:28 * sethsimmons sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/mGlLhQQQoTKCIXYJpjfdMnCk/message.txt > 18:32:54 so a bit slower 18:33:10 I also was doing other things on the computer, including a video call 18:33:22 So its not very representative, but it wasn't significantly faster at last 18:33:23 *at least 18:34:18 Crap no reload. I was too fast, https://paste.debian.net/1168302/ 18:34:37 * sethsimmons sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/CVAyhMkeNXqueaixUYwwNXyH/message.txt > 18:42:03 hyc: selsta Inge- Interesting IBD numbers above 18:42:45 boldsuck, might help to see your config file 18:44:23 sethsimmons: not sure where in the scrollback. maybe you can summarize on gist.github 18:45:38 your long msgs aren't relayed to IRC 18:45:56 Oh, that’s odd 18:46:45 Selsta saw them... 18:46:50 https://paste.debian.net/1168305/ 18:46:56 matrix sends them in a weird way 18:47:07 when you post long messages 18:47:25 so, 2h40m with 300 peers 18:47:51 would still prefer to see a summary on gist, something a little less ephemeral than this 18:48:03 and also the numbers for the other out_peer attempts 18:48:26 total disk activity only 10.9% is reassuring 18:49:02 so on your machine none of the resources were anywhere near maxed out 18:50:58 could disk seek delay cause the disk activity being low if only a small amount of data is required? 18:51:05 as compared to sequential read 18:52:34 "disk activity" should include all time the device is busy, including busy seeking 18:53:23 I suspect that number only looks so good because that SSD is fast... 19:00:02 I assume when importing the raw file we should get the minimum sync time if network would be in perfect conditions? 19:00:13 Or is import code different? 19:12:29 Q: If I already have a node running fine (sync'ed etc) on a VPS, and periodically rsync backup its /home/monero (user running monerod) to my local PC, could I just use the files in .bitmonero dir or should I let monerod sync from scratch ? 19:13:11 The DB is compatible across any platform of the same endianness. 19:13:42 but rsync isn't guaranteed to make a clean copy of the DB unless monerod is stopped 19:14:29 selsta: importing the raw file can actually be slower than network sync, because it requires its own amount of disk I/O and RAM for fs cache 19:16:33 But in this case I wouldn't "import" it. I'd just rsync the entire ~/.bitmonero dir from VP to my local PC and start monerod locally. Or did I miss something? 19:16:42 VP=VPS 19:18:04 the database is not in a clean state unless you exit the daemon if I understand hyc correctly 19:18:14 so if you start it on the other machine there might be issues 19:18:56 yes 19:19:21 mdb_copy + rsync should work if monerod keeps running at backup time. 19:19:22 you can safely make a copy of the live DB using mdb_copy, but not with rsync 19:19:40 (but not using only rsync) 19:20:01 Port 65536 is invalid. All other don't work, eigther. 19:20:06 user@crypto:~$ /home/user/monero/monerod print_pl|grep '.onion' 19:20:08 white 60107cbd63a14167 xmrtof3g2rwu6xia.onion:38081:0 - - 0 never 19:20:09 white b20079c9eac6cfb0 xmrtof3g2rwu6xia.onion:38088:0 - - 0 never 19:20:11 white b05f768cfae5738e xmrtof3g2rwu6xia.onion:65535:0 - - 0 never 19:20:39 boldsuck: port numbers are only 1-65535. 19:20:44 who said 65536? 19:21:11 Might be 65536 ;-) 19:21:38 oh well, they were wrong 19:22:00 've taken port 65535 19:22:57 hehehe... hyc :P 19:23:08 last hope is binaryFate 19:23:42 hyc, you know that was on purpose right? 19:23:47 In similar cases (RDBMS), I first do an initial rsync of the live db (assuming it will be in inconsistent state) and then I stop the DB and rsync again, which typically finishes very fast. Would this approach work for rsyncing ~/.bitmonero ? 19:26:13 Yeah, I’m compiling results across two machines and will share in a post/gist after 19:26:17 Just sharing here in short form as I discover things 🙂 19:27:07 monerouser1144: sure, as long as you do a pass where the DB is stopped you're fine 19:35:04 How come I see everyone recommended using kraken to exchange btc to xmr? 19:35:07 Why not just use bisq? 19:36:09 bisq client crashes my computer 19:40:39 Because as far as kyc exchanges go, they are not too bad (they don't require excessive amounts of personal info for fiat operations), they have a good reputation, good security practices, good support, and very low deposit and withdrawal fees for Monero 19:41:55 Every now and then I read some horror story about some user that gets their exchange account hacked and I think to myself "ew, who thought _that_ was secure?" 19:42:26 Or maybe I've just been very lucky so far, who knows 19:42:38 binance is alright 19:43:51 I've only used bisq 19:43:54 With no issues 19:44:00 The worst part is probably just the fee you pay 19:44:15 And the minimum amount you can exchange is usually around 0.03 btc 19:44:44 But for higher amounts like above .1 btc you pay 2% so its not terrible 19:45:48 Idk why you would want to use a kyc exchange for btc to xmr 19:46:04 Hello everyone, confirming the telegram bot is working well. Thank you hoster. 19:46:22 Seems to defeat the purpose when anyone can just say you've bought x amount of xmr 19:46:52 But they have no idea what you do with it after you withdraw 19:47:10 That's where the privacy kicks in 19:47:16 I feel its still giving them something that is not needed 19:47:42 I agree 19:48:05 But as far as evil goes, they are the 'least evil' 19:48:19 And they provide a good service in exchange for it 19:48:27 I see the point but why even use "evil" when there is another option that avoids that 19:48:47 imo unlink and morphtoken are to the best to switch between xmr/btc 19:48:56 Is morphtoken trusted? 19:49:03 Oh right, we're in the context of btc-xmr 19:49:13 I was thinking more fiat-xmr 19:49:32 I use morphtoken occasionally but I worry they are just storing my public address 19:49:35 But the fees on kraken are quite low either way 19:49:41 Use subaddresses 19:49:44 Which is more of an issue with my opsec as I reuse a public address 19:49:45 Yeah 19:50:02 And you have good liquidity and less 'fee overhead' 19:50:35 Morphtoken also is not working with TOR for me 19:50:42 I have to set the webpage as trusted to get it to work 19:52:04 aaaaaaaaaaaa: theres a python script to use morphtoken w/o js 19:52:22 Oh do you have the link 19:52:31 That would be useful 19:52:39 you can find it on dread's d/monero 19:52:48 Thank you 19:53:34 You can use this site to use morphtoken over tor without actually going to their website, very simple and works well. 19:53:36 http://olnjdsj745kqe62evxtdkcohvgknnpgho7asvxkmfzzu53im7afklxqd.onion/ 19:53:55 nice mitm 19:54:09 Lol 19:54:15 ill be sure to involuntarily donate my xmr to it 19:54:31 Lol 20:02:41 what's mitm? 20:04:07 Man in the middle viperperidot[m] 20:07:24 That's what I thought 20:07:37 251 ms) 20:07:37 [2020-10-19 01:27:44.369] miner speed 10s/60s/15m 1405.0 1418.4 1409.4 H/s max 1539.2 H/s 20:07:40 [2020-10-19 01:27:47.844] cpu accepted (1861/0) diff 50000 (527 ms) 20:07:42 [2020-10-19 01:28:25.124] cpu accepted (1862/0) diff 50000 (1785 ms) 20:07:45 [2020-10-19 01:28:32.877] cpu accepted (1863/0) diff 50000 (1426 ms) 20:07:47 [2020-10-19 01:28:44.422] miner speed 10s/60s/15m 1408.1 1417.1 1410.4 H/s max 1539.2 H/s 20:07:50 [2020-10-19 01:29:37.470] net new job from pool.supportxmr.com:3333 diff 50000 algo rx/0 height 2211148 20:07:51 Is there a problem with that site? 20:07:53 [2020-10-19 01:29:44.485] miner speed 10s/60s/15m 1412.8 1413.9 1411.1 H/s max 1539.2 H/s 20:07:56 [2020-10-19 01:29:56.431] cpu accepted (1864/0) diff 50000 (1795 ms) 20:07:59 [2020-10-19 01:30:08.582] cpu accepted (1865/0) diff 50000 (2732 ms) 20:08:34 viperperidot[m], maybe not... but in general Monero users are more paranoid than normal people. 20:09:27 Has a lot to do with being educated about how things really work and what is possible to be done. 20:11:59 Well the only info that site could get from you is your onion address and address you are sending to which would be the same amount of information given on bisq 20:12:58 that site is literally in the middle and change data on the fly. Substitute their own receiving address 20:13:06 *can change 20:13:17 ^^^ 20:13:24 yes 20:13:31 thats the problem 20:13:35 It's actually a double mitm 20:13:35 So could morphtoken though right? 20:13:38 :-P 20:13:52 of course 20:13:57 And if morphtoken uses cloudflare, a triple. 20:14:14 men in the middle 20:14:21 this is all chain of trust and adding one more element to it only makes it worse 20:14:25 Yes I agree if you want custody 100% then bisq is the way to go 20:14:31 morphtoken just makes it a bit quicker and easier 20:14:55 man sandwich 20:15:43 But once we get atomic swaps that will be the best method :D 20:17:31 atomic swaps will still need some kind of exchange 20:17:48 I read that chain analysis can tell that you used Bisq (due to the way transactions are done). 20:18:05 Bisq will be adding it once it comes out 20:18:54 Yeah bisq transactions are fairly obvious on the blockchain but they still don't know who the parties are 20:19:12 And I think with taproot bisq transactions will be less obvious from my understanding 21:21:23 I'm too lazy to join #monero-markets to say that Monero price is going up again 21:25:44 TamaraneanGirl: that's ok, there'll be a few others to do that 21:27:17 i quoted you in #monero-markets 21:29:05 I didn't really join the community to talk about price as a trader, but how currency is valued is an important conversation. 21:32:05 too philosophical for me. number go up? 21:42:35 @selsta (I think it was selsta) could you re-send the URL to list of IPs of bad monero nodes? 21:43:14 https://gui.xmr.pm/files/block.txt 21:43:46 does that get updated every so often? 21:44:00 is xmr.pm your domain? 21:45:51 Thank you. Since they are quite a few, I'll just create an ipset from it (for Linux iptables firewall). 21:48:48 lza_menace: dsc_ domain 21:48:57 ah, ok 21:48:59 was going to say 21:49:33 I do update it if I find new ones 21:57:45 Will it be possible for someone to tell if a Bitcoin was swapped to/from Monero? Is there a possibility that all swapped Bitcoins will eventually get tainted, blocked at exchanges or devalued? 22:03:16 what do you mean by swapped to/from xmr? 22:03:49 you aren't destroying btc/xmr to create xmr/btc 22:03:57 AIUI, the bitcoin txes can be known to be a swap, but the monero txes don't. So you don't know what it was swapped with. 22:04:34 Unless only monero supports those, I guess. 22:09:05 artefact: i mean once the new atomic swap protocol gets implemented. 22:09:31 iirc it won't be a thing with monero? because swap txes could be discriminated against 22:09:53 but i know very little about this, except from what i read here 22:10:50 me too, that's why I'm asking.. totally don't understand how the atomic swap works yet. was just wondering if there was a danger of all swapped bitcoin to get tainted somehow.. 22:11:54 That'd be going really, *really* far. So it might happen. 22:12:34 And that's why immortality sucks. You want out of the panopticon at some point. 22:12:51 I am using *Incognito wallet*. It has this feature that lets you make Private address it just gives limited address time. But don't tech behind it so I don't know how much secure it is. 22:13:09 Or is this make Mondeo more secure 22:18:51 @selsta applying your bad node list to an iptables rules (with ipset) immediately cleared my "sync_info" list. Now all 12 connected nodes are at the latest block height. :-) 22:19:35 these nodes also appear on the latest block height if you are on the latest block height :P 22:19:36 * Or is this make Monero more secure 22:19:44 so that’s not a way to find them 23:27:58 The last few days I keep noticing this message in the logs "here were 21 blocks in the last 90 minutes, there might be large hash rate changes, or we might be partitioned, cut off from the Monero network or under attack, or your computer's time is off. Or it could be just sheer bad luck." I suppose it's due to the drop from ~2.4 Ghashes/s to ~1.7 ? 23:34:34 Yes. 23:43:20 I cannot determine if my wallet is slow, or if the Matrix browser tab is slowing the whole system, or both.
