00:02:10 <xmrmatterbridge> <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?
00:10:20 <moneromooo> Make sure you have huge pages on. Also using the same number of threads. xmrig has various optimizations moenrod does not have though.
00:10:20 <hyc> unlikely. unfortunately there's a lot more overhead in the monero code
00:11:03 <hyc> huge pages would be on or off for both xmrig and monerod, so that won't be a differentiating factor
00:11:51 <moneromooo> Unless there's few enough monerod doesn't get all it needs.
00:48:43 <xmrmatterbridge> <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.
00:51:10 <moneromooo> The GUI should not be run as root.
01:25:38 <matthewcroughan_> moneromooo: How come I can't get the blockchain to prune?
01:25:52 <matthewcroughan_> I've supplied --prune-blockchain, has been sad there for 3 hrs
01:25:52 <matthewcroughan_> monerod    | 2020-11-30 22:28:30.092	I Pruning blockchain...
01:26:08 <moneromooo> Is it an already synced chain ?
01:26:11 <matthewcroughan_> yes
01:26:31 <moneromooo> You're best resyncing, pruning this way is known to be very slow.
01:26:42 <matthewcroughan_> how do I measure its perf though?
01:27:00 <moneromooo> perf, top, iotop
01:27:03 <matthewcroughan_> it's consuming 80% of 18GB system memory.
01:27:11 <matthewcroughan_> It is not using up much CPU at all.
01:27:24 <moneromooo> Swapping maybe ?
01:27:31 <matthewcroughan_> swap is not enabled
01:27:52 <moneromooo> OK, perf then. sudo perf top -a
01:28:03 <moneromooo> Or maybe it's deadlocked.
01:28:23 <moneromooo> To check this: gdb ./monerod `pidof monerod`
01:28:27 <moneromooo> thread apply all bt
01:29:17 <moneromooo> Or maybe just slow filesystem and it's busy reading/writing.
01:30:12 <matthewcroughan_> nope, reading and writing is in like 10MB/s
01:30:47 <matthewcroughan_> I'll just get rid of the chain and resync
01:33:37 <matthewcroughan_> syncing 1000 blocks per second, it's good
01:37:20 <xmrmatterbridge> <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?
01:39:03 <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)?
01:39:58 <xmrmatterbridge> <skelly> Relevant article talking about the janus attack ->: https://web.getmonero.org/2019/10/18/subaddress-janus.html
02:24:24 <sgp_> skelly: you need an entirely new seed, not just a new account
02:39:13 <Franck[m]> 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?
03:16:24 <moneromooo> paste.debian.net, paste.ubuntu.com are good.
04:16:58 <Franck[m]> https://paste.debian.net/1175057/ thanks
07:28:29 <modul8[m]> 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.
07:34:51 <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?
07:47:36 <selsta> modul8[m]: type status inside Settings -> Log
07:53:52 <modul8[m]> yes thats true. a more gui friendly way may be needed for most users? just an idea.
07:55:57 <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?
07:56:51 <selsta> How do you use Tor with GUI?
07:57:16 <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
07:58:05 <modul8[m]> this is via whonix virtual box
07:58:25 <selsta> And does this VM allow you to access clearnet websites?
07:59:23 <modul8[m]> yes it  sure does.
08:00:21 <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?
08:01:38 <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
08:03:21 <selsta> yea, the GUI will try to access https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/hashes.txt
08:03:30 <selsta> not sure why this does not work over Tor
08:04:37 <modul8[m]> was able to visit getmonero site ok
08:13:00 <modul8[m]> issue still persists, restarting tor and also using tor obs4 bridge. just putting it out there thats all.
08:14:34 <modul8[m]> thanks!
08:18:04 <selsta> Not sure, but yep there were reports with the auto updater not working over Tor
08:19:22 <modul8[m]> oh right, wasnt aware it was a known issue :)
08:22:16 <modul8[m]> trying to wget the hashes.txt gets me the same forbidden 403 error code, so its not a gui problem per se
08:23:54 <modul8[m]> from the tor browser it works :) i dont know whats up
09:01:42 <dEBRUYNE> modul8[m]: The GUI already sends an approximate height to the node, not the exact height, exactly to counter this kind of leakage
09:01:45 <dEBRUYNE> (afaik)
09:12:52 <modul8[m]> good to know!
15:34:23 <Hundle74> hello
19:05:52 <donkeydonkey[m]> <asdadasasdqw "Well, if nobody has any testnet "> yes it works for me
22:46:10 <HazardousBit_> 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
22:46:26 <selsta> yes, this is okay
22:46:46 <HazardousBit_> alright, thanks
