<rbrunner7> Is that awful fake Android MyMonero app visible for you as well, again, for the sixth time already now? play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mymonero.wallet

<rbrunner7> (Google recognizes me as being in Switzerland; maybe it's not visible everywhere, that's why I ask.)

Can't someone just create a stub MyMonero app and publish it, so that the name cannot be taken anymore by the scammers?

Or maybe just a basic app that shows the official website through a webview or something

endor00[m]: yeah we're working on that

Cool!

<rbrunner7> Note that unfortunately it seems apps can have the exact same title string, which is most visible; only the package name which is much less visible must be unique. Worst case a stub MyMonero app will push the scammers down to 50% or so, but not eliminate them ...

I am using MyMonero wallet. Do I need to specify a "payment ID" if I want to send xmr to my account on binance ?

No

I read somewhere that a payment ID needs to be specified if I want to send to Binance. But I couldn't find this payment ID anywhere on Binance

Just use the address provided by Binance

What about this? reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/7n83qt…ayment_id_xmr_lost_forever_no_heres

Payment IDs (the ones Binance used) were phased out a year ago or so

Alright, thanks, I will use the just the address provided by Binance

Should work

np

oops it seems that I have an old version of MyMonero wallet. I will update it first

<xmrmatterbridge "<rbrunner7> Is that awful fake A"> I reported it.

why is blockchain syncing slower the closer it gets to 100%?

it's at 95% for hours

daemon includes checkpoints, so up to the latest checkpoint it syncs faster

ah I see

I should've used a ssd maybe

yes that makes a large difference

download v0.17.1.3 which should be out today / tomorrow and it will sync faster again up until ~99%, as it includes new checkpoints

ah lol, I should've waited I guess

but it's a remote server, ssd is expensive on that kind of stuff

I guess I can interrupt syncinc then try again

I won't lose my progress

with the new version

If it's monerod, you can stop at any time and restart.

is it helpful to open a restricted rpc node? or just having a node run with the p2p protocol stuff enabled is good enough

incoming and outgoing p2p is typically what you want.

RPC, if you want to access your node from the outside. SSL and whitelisted key is best then.

Public if you want, but it just gives others more incentive to not run their node, which is counterproductive.

so I just have to open the right ports and that's all, no need to sign up to a register

Correct.

perfect

I know it isn't technical talk, but are you afraid of XMR delisting from exchanges?

like it just happened with that one I forgot the name

the only path toward actually decoupling is off of the exchanges. i would def be afraid, but only because it's such a lightly charted area .. a major cryptocurrency that can't tank in the same fashion as the others for lack of it being offered to suck up the daily market poundings .. of course the opposite could be true too .. where it also can't run up w/ the others .. still .. nice to have less 'paper monero' about :)

85733 blocks left to sync

it's not just checkpoint, it's really slower the closer it is to 100%

maybe it's because of the db that gets huge and the fact it's not ssd

like it has to seek or something?

mawk: yes it is verifying all blocks during sync

which requires a lot of seeking

mawk: the last checkpoint in v0.17.1.1 is on height 2210500

no new checkpoints for 0.17.1.3?

probably I should've enabled pruning from the start to gain time, but would that have precluded me from being a regular p2p node?

No, you can still be a helpful peer to the network as a pruned node, pruning in Monero was intentionally designed for that.

ah nice

well now it's too late I guess, I'll prune when I run out of space

sech1: no, it will have new checkpoints

2020-11-08 21:04:11.385 I [8.8.8.8:8888 INC] Sync data returned a new top block candidate: 2162445 -> 2226334 [Your node is 63889 blocks (2.9 months) behind]

that means my P2P node is working?

if it's "INC" it means someone successfuly contacted me

but none on IPv6 for now, I should see what's up

mawk: type "status"

12(out)+0(in) connections

means I have 12 out and 0 incoming connections

0 0

but I'm still syncing

both zero?

what does sync_info show ?

17 peers, 1 spans

but none ipv6

maybe a silly question but the p2p protocol is TCP right?

I saw some talk about SYN in a protocol description pdf

then I suppose it's punching NAT and I have to have public ip

or at least a permanent mapping between the node and my public IP

ipv6 is disabled by default

well I set bind address to ::

when starting monerod

I guess it needs to be synced first anyway

can you post the full command you used to start monerod?

ah yes nevermind it's not p2p which I started on ipv6, it's rpc; so I have to restart it with ipv6 p2p enable now

for reference the command was: ./monerod --rpc-bind-ip 0.0.0.0 --rpc-bind-ipv6-address :: --rpc-login foo:bar --bootstrap-daemon-address auto --confirm-external-bind

(the rpc port is firewalled, and open only for my lan which I access through vpn)

ok that explains why it said 0/0 when doing status

it's not explained by the fact it's syncing?

New version v0.17.1.3: CLI and GUI binaries are now available at getmonero.org

ah cool

See blog posts for more details getmonero.org/blog

I am infinitely disappointed, this checkpoint business didn't make it faster

mawk: then it is because your hard disk

there definitely are new checkpoints up until 3 days ago

hmm yes must be that then

mawk: is this a VPS?

it's a regular server, not a vps

ok

but running inside a container I made myself yes, so I guess actually you could say it's a vps

but I haven't put any I/O quota stuff

it's running under lvm, that's all

With SSD it is possible to sync up in a couple hours

<gingeropolous "Franck, bitinfocharts has those "> thanks!

I start monerod like this: ./monerod --rpc-bind-ip 0.0.0.0 --rpc-use-ipv6 --rpc-bind-ipv6-address :: --rpc-login nicolas:koraxkorax --bootstrap-daemon-address auto --confirm-external-bind --db-sync-mode fastest --p2p-use-ipv6

and I still have no connection on ipv6

mawk: does print_pl print any ipv6 addresses?

only ipv4 and ipv6-mapped ipv4 addresses

I'll try again when it finished syncing, it's maybe due to that

we don’t have ipv6 seed nodes, you might have to add ipv6 peers manually, or find peers that have ipv6 peers in their peer list

as far as I understand it, but I did not use ipv6 with monero much

ah I see, that's maybe why then
