Does the Monero wallet GUI support creating new raw addresses? As in, no payment ID and not a subaddress. I know the performance cost of this format; just prefer it for privacy.

Sure, paste it here I'll check if your balance is still there.

How much space does a fully sync'd monerod takes?

~90GB or so

neat! thx

92GB for me at the moment.

I have 150GB available, so that's good.

You can always prune as well, which would reduce disk space needed to ~30GB or so.

30GB only if you use pruning during initial sync

i'm a bit confused with tor and --tx-proxy. Am i supposed to just google around for finding suitable .onion address(es) for --add-peer?

you don't need to use --add-peer

there should already be onion addresses in the public peer lists

ok, thanks!

jarkko: v0.17.1.3 has tor seed nodes, so you just have to add the --tx-proxy 127.0.0.5:9050 flag

--tx-proxy tor,127.0.0.1:9050

^ that is the correct syntax

wait.. i'm still running 0.17.1.1, thought it was latest

updated... now i can see some connections to 127.0.0.1:9050, so i suppose it works

LocalMonero is looking for a full time flutter developer, remote and paid in XMR.

PM me if interested.

jarkko: enter print_cn

it will show you if you have tor peers

nice.. have 12 ipv4 and 5 tor peers

@moneromooo: understood, yeh I’m not going to be creating a new wallet for each user

I’m just wondering what would be better

Accounts or just addresses with labels on the main account for each user

i think it does not matter

Ah ok :).

addresses might be better, then you can send out the whole balance

with accounts you have to send from each account individually

because they are like separate wallets

Oh so if I used accounts

but I don’t know what you are programming

I wouldn’t be able to do

Multiple input transactions

Between accounts?

yes

you can’t use inputs from different accounts

Ah okay. Then I’ll settle with addresses with labels for each user

Also when listening for new incoming transactions on the wallet, would you recommend using tx-notify or the Monero RPC command to check for incoming transfers

And I’m programming an application where Monero will be one of the possible deposit and withdraw options, so each user will be able to deposit/withdraw Monero and will require a deposit address.

theoretically you could spend outputs from multiple wallets (I think) but that would be an extremely annoying transaction to construct and there's certainly no functionality to do that

Yeh I figured, just wanna make it as easy as possible.

Like when a user withdraws an amount and the amount withdrawn is larger than any balance in a single address, using the RPC transfer command will automatically choose which addresses to send from

Lovera[m]: This will not broadcast your transactions over Tor

see reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/jrh7mv/_/gbt7bwp/?context=1

<selsta "Lovera: This will not broadcast "> Thanks selsta, I just find that i need to add tx-proxy tor,127.0.0.1:9050,10

<selsta "see reddit.com/r/Monero"> Thanks i will read it

yes

thanks dEBRUYNE

Hello everyone

Does anyone happen to have any idea what this error might indicate pastebin.com/dstKT01T

I am trying the reproducible build script with Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver in a VM but it seems to always fail. I am using the LXC setup

I didn't really deviate from the instructions at all so I dont exactly know what the issue might be

Vaguely looks like networking issues. Check whether something might deny networking permissions.

Could that be if it happens after the script has been running for a while

It seems like it gets a lot done before that specific error happens

Could of course be something about the LXC setup that I dont understand, havent really had experience with it

But it's easy! youtube.com/watch?v=RXJKdh1KZ0w

It all makes sense now

Even docker doesn't work for me

what's the docker error?

what's your host system?

I am running Ubuntu 18.04 in virtualbox on MacOS

Let me get that error for you in a second

Sorry this is taking a bit, should be any moment now lol

This is IRC, you have all the time in the world

What on earth is pastebin doing

It lets me upload this thing then it says removed by admins or something

I wonder if theres a better alternative to it

Ok, heres the error i get with docker zerobin.net/?5ec75c68dfb330f2#vfUSV…iQJD7s+1SL/G8OmIb/iYs26O6AXTT6Ys8Q=

I included some stuff that went down before the error incase it helps

are you running this with the user `gitianuser` that you have added to the sudo group? i'm kinda thinking it's the setup steps that were missed because the instructions aren't exactly in a tutorial fashion

I am running it as gitianuser yes

And I added it to the docker group which if I understand should do it?

Unless theres something im missing

docker group and sudo, i think

It says docker group grants privileges equivalent to root user

On the docker website linked in the README

<selsta "yes"> Hi again selsta, sorry i have one more question... Regarding "Anonymity Networks with Monero" when i use --tx-proxy tor,127.0.0.1:9050 Do I need to specified a peer over tor? Something like --add-exclusive-node rveahdfho7wo4b2m.onion:28083

mine is in docker and sudo groups. maybe unneccesary? not sure

no this is not necessary with v0.17.1.3

<selsta "no this is not necessary with v0"> Oh Thanks

PingMan747: ^ are the steps I use

pong

Thank you selsta

do you get an output from docker ps ?

Yeah

Gviing it a go with additional steps in selstas paste

so I've got a question about tor / i2p with d++. in particular, when a transaction is relayed over an anonymity network, what does the first peer to receive the transaction do with it? like, is there a stem phase that goes exclusively through tor / i2p, or does it get stemmed over ip4 by the receiving node?

depends on if you use the disable_noise option

lets say I dont

AFAIK it gets sent to two Tor / I2P peers and these peers relay it using Dandelion++ to clearnet.

there are also randomized delays and noise to prevent timing / isp packet attacks

so origination --> anon peer ---> anon peer ---> clearnet peer? or do you mean the originating node sends it to two anon peers, who both relay over ip4

"or do you mean the originating node sends it to two anon peers, who both relay over ip4" <-- yes

alright cool, thank you. so if I receive a transaction from an anon peer, I know it in fact originated from that peer, is that correct?

you don’t know who the peer is

but yes, you know that it originated from that peer

okay, cool. so, I'm noticing on my node that I have outgoing and incoming anon connections that have the same peer ID. So, if I receive a transaction from an anon peer and am also connecting to their incoming address, and can see that the peer IDs match, then I know that the transaction originated with whoever owns that i2p / tor address?

afaik you can’t be connected to an outgoing peer that is also connected you

I currently am

unless there is a bug, vtnerd will know that

I highlighted the ones that are the same in cyan / red

what does sync_info show?

moneromooo: do you know if a new peer id gets generated per connection?

Lyza: would open an issue on github

yes I can open an issue

Yes. One does not.

Except cross zone.

Unfortunately no luck with those steps either selsta

Not sure what to try now, might let the issue rest for a bit

do you have a firewall enabled?

I dont have setup anything on it, its just a clean ubuntu install

you get 'inactive' with sudo ufw status?

just to double check

weird, I also use these steps on a fresh ubuntu 18.04 machine and never had issues

Yes, it shows inactive

Do you guys use desktop ubuntu or server? And 18.04 bionic beaver right?

selsta, have you had successful inside a virtualbox vm?

Yeah I use virtualbox

success*

PingMan747: afaik server ubuntu

pong

scoobybejesus: did not try in virtualbox, I found it to have awful perfomance on macos

usually connect to a VPS

I was wondering if buying VMWare would be worth it

it is free now

on Mac

oh?

yep, though you have to create a vmware account

I suppose its worth trying a different setup with similar steps

And troubleshoot more if theres still issues

vm's have a lot of magic under the hood. it's possible that the build simply won't work in that environment

Yep

They just are so convenient

"Fusion 12 Player for macOS 10.15+"

is the program

Ill take a look

Lyza: monero-project/monero #6380

talks a bit about peer_id, inbound connections becoming outbound connections sounds like something we want to avoid

at least with the same peer id

I was frequently seeing the same peer id on in and out tor, but usually the out would drop after a while

yeah 100% agreed. This issue even talks about possible solutions. Do you still want me to submit a new issue or should it just be dealt with under 6380? I can post my screenshots there instead

comment would be fine too I guess

even if it drops the association lasts until the peer ID rotates which rn seems to only happen when monerod is restarted

Peer ID doesn't even seem super necessary over i2p from what I'm reading in this post. peer IDs prevent self connection, but that's only going to happen over i2p if the user misconfigures the daemon

selsta I went ahead and opened a new issue and connected it to the previous issue monero-project/monero #7004

might also want to tag vtnerd has he wrote the majority of the tor / i2p code

moneromooo, I have something strange happening...

I have a successful tx on an address using the wallet rpc and then later on... maybe 15 minutes later to the same address it tells me WALLET_RPC_ERROR_CODE_WRONG_ADDRESS

nvm moneromooo... seems I wasn't at the latest release... :(

I thought that I was.

can I extract address labels from a wallet file? the wallet file wasn't properly closed so I cannot open it with the GUI

try restarting computer

or is it corrupted?

it's corrupted yes

my ssd died and remounted read-only while the wallet was doing something

actually the ssd died because of downloading the blockchain, bad bad monero

or bad bad btrfs, alternatively

what's the difference between OutProof and SpendProof? isn't OutProof better since it can give the amount and so on?

are there any known, empty private keys from the pre-ringct days? I want to figure out how signatures work, but feel like I'm missing half the puzzle only working with public keys

Ymgve: If you spin up a private testnet, it will start with non-RingCT outputs

ah, cool, might try looking into that then

dEBRUYNE: monero-gui-v0.17.1.4 works for me. Though suppose you start the client + daemon and then in the middle of sync quit, does it have to start the sync from the beginning once you start it up again?

no, it will continue where you left off. provided of course that you quit cleanly and didn't kill the process, which could (i think?) corrupt the db

ah got it, yeah I quit cleanly.
