<agentpatience> Hi, I have a question I am using monero wallet GUI miner (linux package) and only get about half the hashrate that I get when I mine to a pool using xmrig. Can anyone help me get better performance solo mining using Moneros official node GUI?
-
moneromooo
Make sure you have huge pages on. Also using the same number of threads. xmrig has various optimizations moenrod does not have though.
-
hyc
unlikely. unfortunately there's a lot more overhead in the monero code
-
hyc
huge pages would be on or off for both xmrig and monerod, so that won't be a differentiating factor
-
moneromooo
Unless there's few enough monerod doesn't get all it needs.
-

<agentpatience> I am not running monero gui as root is that a problem? I wouldn't think you would want to run that shit as root.
-
moneromooo
The GUI should not be run as root.

moneromooo: How come I can't get the blockchain to prune?
-
matthewcroughan_
I've supplied --prune-blockchain, has been sad there for 3 hrs

monerod | 2020-11-30 22:28:30.092 I Pruning blockchain...
-
moneromooo
Is it an already synced chain ?
-
matthewcroughan_
yes
-
moneromooo
You're best resyncing, pruning this way is known to be very slow.
-
matthewcroughan_
how do I measure its perf though?
-
moneromooo
perf, top, iotop
-
matthewcroughan_
it's consuming 80% of 18GB system memory.
-
matthewcroughan_
It is not using up much CPU at all.
-
moneromooo
Swapping maybe ?
-
matthewcroughan_
swap is not enabled
-
moneromooo
OK, perf then. sudo perf top -a
-
moneromooo
Or maybe it's deadlocked.
-
moneromooo
To check this: gdb ./monerod `pidof monerod`
-
moneromooo
thread apply all bt
-
moneromooo
Or maybe just slow filesystem and it's busy reading/writing.
-
matthewcroughan_
nope, reading and writing is in like 10MB/s
-
matthewcroughan_
I'll just get rid of the chain and resync
-
matthewcroughan_
syncing 1000 blocks per second, it's good

<skelly> Hello, quick question from a newbie. In the ledger-monero-app settings there is an option called "Select Account", I want to clarify does this allow one to mitigate the Janus attack as described by Justin in the Breaking Monero series?
-
xmrmatterbridge
<skelly> Specifically, does "changing the account" so to speak change the wallet address, or is it more equivalent to changing the account in the monero wallet gui (in which the account is derived from the same seed, just a different address)?
-
xmrmatterbridge
<skelly> Relevant article talking about the janus attack ->:
web.getmonero.org/2019/10/18/subaddress-janus.html
-
sgp_
skelly: you need an entirely new seed, not just a new account

Hi, I am getting some runtime error running latest version (.5) on linux, it was happening before upgrade too (running .4 I think). Where is the best place to paste the stack trace and get support?
-
moneromooo
paste.debian.net, paste.ubuntu.com are good.

suggestion to improve privacy with simple mode/3rd party remote node. could an option be made to scan from a lower block height than previously used to minimise tracking? (running over tor helps with the ip linkage) and great to see socks5 proxy option.
-
modul8[m]
in simple mode in the gui, there doesnt seem to be a way to see what public node ip address you are connected to?
-
selsta
modul8[m]: type status inside Settings -> Log
-
modul8[m]
yes thats true. a more gui friendly way may be needed for most users? just an idea.
-
modul8[m]
also with gui updater on tor. getting response code 403 on failed to fetch and verify hashes.txt - can see this message on the console. so i dont think the auto fetch will work?
-
selsta
How do you use Tor with GUI?
-
modul8[m]
playing around with an oldish whonix vm. i think updates are handled by whonuix anyway. but noticed this on my other whonix vm too that i installed monero on manually
-
modul8[m]
this is via whonix virtual box
-
selsta
And does this VM allow you to access clearnet websites?
-
modul8[m]
yes it sure does.
-
modul8[m]
i could try stop/startng tor on the gatway see if it makes a difference, could be the exit note ip or something?
-
modul8[m]
btw, the gui does recognise the new .5 version as per message in the console, just issue with the hashes.txt it seems
-
selsta
-
selsta
not sure why this does not work over Tor
-
modul8[m]
was able to visit getmonero site ok
-
modul8[m]
issue still persists, restarting tor and also using tor obs4 bridge. just putting it out there thats all.
-
modul8[m]
thanks!
-
selsta
Not sure, but yep there were reports with the auto updater not working over Tor
-
modul8[m]
oh right, wasnt aware it was a known issue :)
-
modul8[m]
trying to wget the hashes.txt gets me the same forbidden 403 error code, so its not a gui problem per se
-
modul8[m]
from the tor browser it works :) i dont know whats up
-
dEBRUYNE
modul8[m]: The GUI already sends an approximate height to the node, not the exact height, exactly to counter this kind of leakage
-
dEBRUYNE
(afaik)
-
modul8[m]
good to know!

<asdadasasdqw "Well, if nobody has any testnet "> yes it works for me

hello everyone. just a quick question here: is it alright if i send coin to a wallet that's connected to a node which is still syncing? I want to send monero to my personal wallet, but i haven't synced the daemon in a while
-
selsta
yes, this is okay
-
HazardousBit_
alright, thanks
