  Hi all, I noticed the following in monerod's log ("REORGANIZE on height"/"BLOCK ADDED AS ALTERNATIVE ON HEIGHT"/"REORGANIZE SUCCESS"). It's not something to worry about, is it? TIA paste.debian.net/1172779

  PS: I am using latest monerod v0.17.1.3 with the new --ban-list option using selsa's ban list.

  It's a catastrophe for whoever mined the block that got bumped.
• 02:08
  moneromooo
  The one who mined the new one is very happy.
• 02:08
  moneromooo
  Others don't really care.

  OK, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't due to some new type of network attack. Thx.

  Anybody else having syncing issues?

  For the past two days my wallet is not able to fully sync.

  Visionz[m]: use a custom remote node
• 07:34

  as explained here monero-project/monero-gui #3140#issuecomment-706440354

  Visionz[m]
  <selsta "Visionz: use a custom remote nod"> Awesome thanks. Is node.xmr.to usually more reliable?
• 07:38
  selsta
  which remote node did you use? or were you using simple mode?
• 07:39
  selsta
  see here for more information reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/jv8v2r…you_run_a_public_remote_node_please
• 07:39
  Visionz[m]
  Simple mode.
• 07:40
  selsta
  switching to an updated remote node solves this
• 07:40
  selsta
  e.g. the xmr.to one
• 07:43
  Visionz[m]
  <selsta "switching to an updated remote n"> Yes I did switch to xmr.to and it solved my issue. I was wondering if xmr.to send to be more reliable than others?
• 07:43
  Visionz[m]
  * Yes I did switch to xmr.to and it solved my issue. I was wondering if xmr.to tends to be more reliable than others?
• 07:45
  selsta
  difficult to say
• 09:29
  Visionz[m]
  Ok. Thanks for the info though.

  but whatever. think its important enough to share
• 12:18
  midipoet
  or scary enough, or whatever adjective you wish to use
• 12:18
  Lyza
  is the creepy part that the EU is harvesting global facial data?
• 12:20
  charolastra
  "This is an art project by Tijmen Schep that shows how face detection algoritms are increasingly used to judge you. It was made as part of the European Union's Sherpa research program.
• 12:20
  charolastra
  No personal data is sent to our server in any way. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. All the face detection algorithms will run on your own computer, in the browser."
• 12:22
  midipoet
  to be fair, those in the SHERPA project are fairly good (some are my colleagues). i
• 12:22
  midipoet
  its clear that other "project" and "companies" are not so benign
• 12:24
  Lyza
  yeah I saw the part about not harvesting data and immediately went "oh so they're harvesting data"
• 12:25
  Lyza
  but Idk anything about who' running this I was mostly joshin. Surprised the algorithms run that well in the browser though, in JavaScript
• 12:25
  Lyza
  if that's what it's doin
• 12:26
  charolastra
  we have stuff like WebASM and fast processors now
• 12:27
  midipoet
  Lyza: i don' think SHERPA could lie so blatantly about whether or not there is data sent to the server. would not be good optics
• 12:27
  Lyza
  I'm from the US when I hear Sherpa I think of Tibet
• 12:28
  midipoet
  Tibet is nice also
• 12:29
  Lyza
  yeah though at this point I'd just assume keep wearing a mask in public forever tyvm
• 12:29
  Lyza
  get me one of those ones that messes with recognition heh
• 12:41
  charolastra
  that page is rather buggy and doesn't detect me at all. maby i don't look human
• 12:44
  Lyza
  this is actually a new captcha method. sorry to say charolastra it turns out you're a bot =p
• 12:45

  moneromooo: is there a way to calculate/estimate ? like make a request to node ?
• 13:03
  moneromooo
  There's a RPC to get you the current fee.
• 13:03
  moneromooo
  Something like estimate_fee or similar name.
• 13:03
  moneromooo
  It's guaranteed to stay valid for 10 blocks IIRC.

  hi, it seems mymonero node got stuck
• 13:37
  arandomguyxmr
  i've been waiting for hours but no progress
• 13:39
  arandomguyxmr
  anyone do know how to fix this?
• 13:39
  moneromooo
  Try #mymonero, but AFAIK it's fairly common-ish, just needs their server to catch up.
• 14:41
  Frenn_
  thx !

  raz
  hm, my last tx was over an hour ago, shouldn't full balance be unlocked now?
• 21:46
  dEBRUYNE
  Do you use a local node?
• 21:46
  raz
  no, osx gui client in easy mode
• 21:50
  dEBRUYNE
  Is your wallet and daemon fully synced?
• 21:50
  dEBRUYNE
  The status bars on the left
• 21:50
  raz
  well, it says two blocks remaining... trying restart
• 21:52
  raz
  hm, how long should it take to sync up 2 blocks
• 21:52
  raz
  it just hangs there
• 21:56
  raz
  sigh, now it jumps between 1 and 2 daemon blocks remaining
• 21:56
  » raz rolls eyes
• 21:59
  Inge-
  raz: what block height?
• 21:59
  raz
  Height: 2232840/2232842 (99.9%) on mainnet
• 21:59
  raz
  local height: 1 (0.0%)
• 21:59
  Inge-
  didn't AHP's start sending out a HIGHER block number ?
• 22:00
  raz
  that's what console says
• 22:00
  raz
  i could send a successful transaction earlier... and then it went into this state
• 22:01
  raz
  guess i'll re-create the wallet and hope it syncs better then
• 22:02
  Inge-
  cna you choose remote node in simple mode?
• 22:02
  Inge-
  if so, that might help.
• 22:02
  raz
  i can only tell it to switch node
• 22:02
  raz
  when i do that it shows a different ip in console, but stays stuck in same place
• 22:04
  selsta
  raz: see here monero-project/monero-gui #3140#issuecomment-706440354
• 22:04
  selsta
  ^ for switching to a custom node and resolving this issue
• 22:05
  selsta
  22:59 <+Inge-> didn't AHP's start sending out a HIGHER block number ? <-- yes and that is causing outdated nodes to get stuck in sync mode
• 22:05
  raz
  tried that
• 22:06
  selsta
  what is the issue now?
• 22:06
  raz
  yay, now it's syncing i think
• 22:06
  selsta
  ok
• 22:06
  raz
  well now it says 72k blocks remaining
• 22:06
  raz
  seems it jumped back in time
• 22:06
  raz
  i also got my balance back, i'm rich again!
• 22:06
  Inge-
  Funds are Safu
• 22:06
  selsta
  72k wallet blocks or daemon blocks?
• 22:07
  raz
  wallet blocks
• 22:07
  selsta
  okay, wait for it to sync afterwards transacting should work fine again
• 22:07
  raz
  awesome, thx so much
• 22:08
  Inge-
  selsta: do you know if updating node to .1.3 is enough, or if it needs other juju as well, such as banning known AHP's, deleting p2pstate.bin, increasing outgoing connections ?
• 22:08
  selsta
  from what I have seen updating to 1.3 is enough
• 22:09
  selsta
  all reports of this issue were from outdated nodes
• 22:09
  Inge-
  Will be interesting to see what the trixy hobbitses do next
