since I went away for the night and left it running

I should mention I did check the sha512, so I know that unless it was corrupted while unpacking the tarball the program is unmodified

unlikely that the program itself is corrupted

well I thought it was worth mentioning

cryptocurrency is the kind of thing where I always check the hashes

that’s a good habit

I know that maybe P = NP and all

but for now, I'm going with checking the hashes

P=NP if N is 1.

Also 0.

And if you squint hard enough, inifnity.

And that's not even getting into negtive numbers.

Oh, negative doesn't matter. /me smartarse fail

I'm talking about the useful numbers

if P = NP for the other stuff well then RIP

RIP in pepperoni

imagine the monero project having an actual office where people send their USB drives "pls copy me a PSK sir, I beg of you"

wait that wouldn't really work well

since the software itself would be RIP too

not just checking whether the software is valid

OH

locustlord: which version are you running?

0.17.1.5

linux cli binaries

it could be fixed by monero-project/monero #7070

but moneromooo has to look at it

Yes, that's 7070.

Good :)

v0.17.1.6 will be out tomorrow with the fix included

something I have to ask

why isn't there more testing done before releasing?

Because testing takes time, has a huge surface, is annoying, is something where you often redo the same things, you don't see what is worth testing until it bites you... off the top of my head.

If you want to test more, please do. It's always good :)

I mean

my assumption is that the windows GUI and linux CLI versions would be the most used

since anyone running a service would use the linux CLI and anyone using it to pay is probably on windows

locustlord, I'm on Windows and prefer the CLI

Locustlord: are you volunteering to be a QA tester?

We could always use more.

I can

Morning all, some advice? How good is GunBot from Gunchy for automated trading?

* Morning all, some advice? How good is GunBot from Gunchy for automated trading? Is it idiot proof? perhaps any others anyone can suggest? THANKS!

Another question please. For mining XMR is it better to use Linux or Windows? Which is preferred system and hardware/ software requirements? What would be a good firewall to use?

I would use linux wolfkeeper[m]

and I would use pf for the firewall

as that is my firewall of choice

<locustlord "as that is my firewall of choice"> Thanks for the reply. What is pf???

a firewall

just look for the package for whichever distro you use

<locustlord "a firewall"> I gathered that thanks.

in my opinion the best firewall

and Gunbot....?

what's gunbot?

unless you mean gnubot, the irc bot

I don't see why you'd need an irc bot for mining though

Oh, automated crypto trading bot.

....for trading...

I wouldn't know

I've never used it

it might have linux support

it might not

<locustlord "it might have linux support"> 👍️😀

well I'm not just going to talk out my butt here

what do you want me to say, "yes, your trading bot works on any operating system you could ever use"?

if I don't know I don't know

Why lie about something that can be easily disproven?

Why steal from your community and then laugh at them?

Reason is the same - to laugh at morons that are gullible enough to believe you and repeat your lies.

Hello. I'm trying to setup the monero GUI wallet for Windows that's available on getmonero.org, but after entering my private keys, I get an error "Failed to store the wallet". I've added exclusions in Windows defender, but there's no effect. Would someone kindly tell me how to get my Windows wallet working?

Are you trying to save it somewhere you don't have write perms to ?

Like / or something. Or \ in windows.

moneromooo, yeah i DID get the error that I dont have permissions.. so I ran the setup as administrator

moneromooo I've been told on #monero-pools that I should wait for version 0.17.1.6 which should released mostly today

Good suggestion.

thanks moneromooo, have a great day!

Thanks, same.

Bye for now :)

hi guys

anyone here used monero node library before?

?

I've tried twice to use a newly installed 18.04 vm for deterministic builds following this github.com/monero-project/monero/tr…ster/contrib/gitian#gitian-building but it stopped both times with g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus) .. could be useful to try to understand what I did wrong or what didn't work?

not enough ram

what did you set for -j ?

-j 5

how much RAM does your VM have?

4096

should try -j 2?

-j2 could work, could also not work

ideally you have more than 2GB RAM per job

ok .. missing that bit on the cited guide..

will try that again.. --rebuild should do the trick, right?

yes

thnx

aubergine: github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-javascript looks maintained

What did I miss, whats this about what fluffy did?

it was spam

So the whole reddit thread is fake?

selsta I always get 401 error upon connection despite setting rpc login params correctly

try without rpc login

for testing purposes

viperperidot[m]: the thread is real and 3 years old, the accusations are not true

I need cors, they can only be enabled with login

viperperidot[m], it was an event that happened like 3 years ago

Hello, im finally fully synced.

I wanted to ask.. When im mining, is the clio or the node doing the job?

I mean.. Would it make sense to have multiple clis mining with just one node?

The node is what mines, no matter how many wallets are connected

The CLI wallet is just using RPC to instruct the node to mine

Ok, so what i want is multiple nodes and one cli.

In theory sure, but the best mining software is XMRig if you’re serious about mining.

Each node would need distinct hardware, multiple nodes on one PC doesn’t help you.

xmrig can connect to your node directly too

Yes, thats what i meant.. I saw xmrig.. But is xmrig or the node doing the job?

in that case it would be xmrig

XMRig is doing the job in this case

So i can have multiple XMRig s with one node then?

With one remote node to be more specific?

Im thinking about using free cloud computing, but most time they have not enough hard drive space to fit the blockchain in..

pruned blockchain is 30gb

It still wont fit. So the idea would be to run one node locally and connect to it remotely with xmrig.. Would that work?

New binaries (CLI and GUI) for v0.17.1.6 are available on getmonero.org

Most cloud providers do not allow mining via their ToS

Read something about it, but I want to know if its technically posible?

Guess there's a way to find out, lulz.

you can use one node in combination with multiple XMRig

locustlord: v0.17.1.6 is out which should fix your crash issue

And that would multiply my hashing power right? +selsta ... Do you think there'd be some kind of bottleneck in them using the same node that could slow it down or something?

maybe ask in #monero-pools

Is that what they do? Run just one node for all their users?

No. Large pools run multiple nodes.

+selsta they said it would work, and that one node can handle quiet a few xmrigs

I've got ample python/PHP experience, that's my dayjob. I'm interested in compiled languages, and would like to contribute to the monero community via programming, and I'm brainstorming for ideas. anyone got anything?

\/runon sentence

People are always clamouring for easier to use stuff. Not sure if that's your thing.

New binaries (CLI and GUI) for v0.17.1.6 are available on getmonero.org

Release thread also up on Reddit

+nioc can i update or do i need to reinstall?

I just installed 17.1.5 yesterday..

If i install the new one will I have to resync the blockchain?

no need to resync

you can move wallet files from .5 to .6

the blockchain is in it's own location

+nioc what happens if i dont update?

+nioc will things stop working?

no

should really upgrade though

<aubergine "anyone here used monero node lib"> i checked it out. it looks full featured. but i am just writing one myself for all the RPC calls so i can set it up async style.

mrtrousers it will work but there are important network functionality updates in .6

helps everyone if you update

I will, I will, trying to decide if today or tomorrow.. Will i still have to use the --ban-list block.txt with .6 ? +nioc

no need to use the ban list in .6

A note for public RPC node operators upgrading to v0.17.1.6 — if you’re using the _—restricted-rpc-bind-port_ option currently you will need to add the new _—restricted-rpc-bind-ip_ arg or else the daemon will bind restricted RPC only to _localhost_.

I ran into this issue myself and was confused why I could no longer access my remote node after upgrading.

mrtrousers update whenever is good for you

I tried paying with monero on a site, and I noticed they have a "Click to pay" link with the `monero:...` uri scheme. Is there a way to properly make use of this on Linux? I'm not sure what program or desktop file I should invoke, and I can't find a concrete answer online.

sorry if i should know this already, but what's the url for the current bad peer list?

thanks.

but should not be necessary with v0.17.1.6 - but still recommended if you want to block known spies

oh, nice, hadn't realized that. is .6 able to detect/block them in realtime somehow?

yep

until they change behaviour :D

awesome

So many point releases

All because these people spamming the network

.6 is working great for me so far on mainnet and stagenet on Arch Linux

Same, running like a dream :D

double dream feet ~ youtube.com/watch?v=5L1tr0PIx20

seams smoother somehow

Should be quite a bit smoother due to how much spam is now being dropped/mitigated

sethsimmons and moneromooo thanks for you replies, sorry for the late response :)

Hello its me again

Remember how you told me if i had a remote node and xmrig, it would be xmrig doing the mining? right?

Yes

You don’t even need a remote node with Xmrig if using a pool FWIW

I want to mine solo..

sethsimmons could i use a public remote node, one that doesnt belong to me?

LIke one from moneroworld or something?

Yes if you wanted to

If you want to solo mine I’d recommend using your own though for sure

Why?

I’ve never done that myself though so not sure on the details.

<mrtrousers "Why?"> Latency and ensuring you’re choosing the default transactions to go into each block you mine

The miner will get a block template from the node, so if you use Alice's node, she'll get you a block template that pays her.

That too 😅

Mmm, so the answer is no, i cant use a public remote node to mine with xmrig?

You can, technically :)

Elaborate more, i dont understand yet.. You mean there's a way to do it?

You'll mine to Alice's address.

Which is likely not what you want.

But if you're OK with that, it should work.

No, lulz, i want to mine to my address of course.

Also, if you've got a single xmrig on a single machine, you've got a tiny chance only of getting a block. That might also be too much.

Or too little.

So if i want to mine to my own address i need my own node right?

Yes.

If you use a pool, you mine for the pool. Which pays youafter the fact.

It should be fairly easy to make a network listener just for the purpose of maintaining a block tempalte and relaying any block found...

twitch: ^ :)

That'd be a self contained project, gets you to learn a number of monero systems, would help some people.

And you can make it easy to use too, some Qt UI.

What setup would that be for.. ? Remote node local xmrig? Mining solo or pool? My node my xmrig?

And later if I^Hsomeone ever look at p2pool, it can do that too.

The short of it is: use your own node.

Pruned is fine.

moneromoo did you mean i could somewhat change that template from the remote public node?

Yes, if you're a coder.

duly noted moneromoo, I'm going to take a shot at that!

I've got to run atm, I'm going to report back with progress/questions

cheers, thanks for the help

twitch im interested in

Cool, good luck, tech questions welcome :)

thanks! mrtrousers I'll be sure to get with you soon asap, I'm on IRC often

I regret having to run, but alas I do!

Cool! :)

peace

:)

Guys, what would you recommend more as a daily driver: Tor or vpn?

VPN unless you're committing crimes on the reg

in which case stop committing crimes on the reg

If only criminals use tor, it'll end up banned and we honest people won't have it anymore :/

i think it'd be outstandingly hard to ban tor

It depends. It’s not straightforward, but I generally lean towards Tor for daily browsing.

If I risk 5 years for using it, I don't think I'd use it. Close enough to banned.

jess: I kind of dont like the central point of failure of vpns...

Do you really trust tor? I have used it before but always been suspicious it's justa a huge NSA spying program, lulz

Everything else also is :)

with last verions following parameters are still useful: --ban-list ./block.txt --tx-proxy tor,127.0.0.1:9050,10

Yes.

5 years? that's only for like rapes and robberies. "computer crimes" more likely to be 50 years

moneromooo: think yes was to my question.. so blocking known offender is still good and proxying transaction via tor too

Yes.

sethsimmons: I have used tor for a month now, and I sometimes had to force myself to not tap the firefox button... Sometimes it s just so slow...

You definitely get used to it :)

Are there any other alternatives out there?

<xmrpow "sethsimmons: I have used tor fo"> Then run a relay node and help out 😉

;)

👏

I was thinking about spinning up more of them and reduce the costs with mining...

Do you run exit nodes?

No, I do not ATM but am interested in it in the future.

I think the biggest problem is hosting an exit node without having the police knocking at your door...

last i checked, tor project itself recommended against running exit nodes on your home internet connection

Even if you run it in a datacenter...

<ndorf "last i checked, tor project itse"> Yah I would never recommend that.

If the hoster does have your real name you are screwed as well.
