Revuo Issue 87 - revuo-monero.com/issue-87.html

fluffypony: mymonero.com SSL cert expired

tobtoht: tks we're fixing

Last time I got an award like that was in a primary school football team. It had three stars too and said that I'm special :')

I just binned it though instead of showing it off to naive groupies.

<marcimbimbo "I just binned it though instead "> ok, you are just so cool to value such a certificate.

mechanic41turk: please ignore the spammers

ErCiccione: sure.

hello

some strange output when monerod start

This is from the logs, right ? You don't get that displayed ?

yes

from monerod logs

Is anything not working ?

monerod works but this is very strange

Are you a programmer ?

no but i give a try

Then this is a stack trace, it shows the state of the call stack at a given point in the execution, here in this example when it tried to allocate some memory.

do i need to update anything for this logs to dissappear

You can run with --log 0,*stack*:FATAL if you dont' want them.

If it's because it\'s just spammy, there's a recent PR to just log it once.

This particular one means (IIRC) that you don't have enough memory to start a miner. I could be wrong there.

so is smth that dont need to be fixed

Well, you can try to free more memory. Or just ignore.

ok not smth serius

thnx a lot!

Hello. I have a question regarding RAM usage of "monerod.exe". I'm running a full node, public, on Windows, with 12 GB of physical RAM. When I launch "monerod.exe", the RAM starts slowly climbing up. I don't see that RAM pinned to a specific service or application in Task Manager so, I'm guessing this is monerod.exe buffering it's database in memory, using all of the available RAM?

Yes.

moneromooo there's also 7098 where I fixed one memory leak

Indeed :)

moneromooo: Thank you for responding so fast. Is it possible to limit that or is it just by design?

doctorx: It is most likely windows keeping in "cache" every bit monerod touched, so to say, since you have "free ram"

fuck windows, use linux!

doctorx: as long as you dont run into problems running other applications there is no problem with the observed behaviour.

Well, I have, and I have not. For instance, if I wanna launch another app that requires a big chunk of RAM, it gives me errors.

As long as I don't open any other app that requires a high amount of RAM, it seems to run nicely.

doctorx: also see: Windows ressource monitor or what its called, and its memory tab. Is this memory green (== not usable for anything else), or rather blue (thus cache, which can be reclaimed)

monerod.exe working set 8.6 GB

By design. Though your OS might have knobs for this.

In theory, the OS should be able to discard the cache but in practice when the pressure is fast and high, it might not work.

Mhm yea, 3.5G of ram might just not be enough nowadays to "surf the web" :X

lynx?

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

hi y'all. im looking for docs on best practices for running a public node. i found the page for running a node on monero.how which has a section about public nodes. is there any other good articles or such on running a public node? thanks

moneroworld.com is more likely than not to have something.

Otherwise... use --restricted-rpc at least

Maybe set up the pay-for-rpc system

word. i would like to do that

I've opened two PRs to add the ban-list to BTCPayServer if anyone who uses it (or has Docker experience) wants to test:

sethsimmons: can't test right now, but looks good

Sweet, please comment on those if/when you are able to test.

It's such a simple change I'm not sure how it could break, but don't want to break Monero further for BPS users :P

<moneromooo "Maybe set up the pay-for-rpc sys"> ok this pay-for-rpc is pretty cool! deff gonna have to make me a dashboard. the credits are a super cool idea! good work!

so on the public node does the monero daemon have to be background mining to use the hashes that are submitted to it? or does it somehow use those hashes that the clients submitted to it automatically?

It does not. It uses them somehow.

rad

on the wallet-cli i set the credits-target option and it works great. though i noticed that the wallet-cli will stop doing this auto mining if i stop using the cli... tben when i enter another command on the cli it starts doing its credit-target mining.. is there a way to keep the cli going even if i stop entering new commands in the cli? thanks

Had it reached its target (rpc_mining_info) ?

no

rpc_payment_info

its working now. i had 2 wallets connected to the node. i restarted everything and not its keeping going. its only stopping when it should at the credits-target. so no issue.

* now its keeping going"

after restoring from nmemonic seed, I currently have an empty Monerujo wallet and I'm not sure why. i changed the restore height to months before my first monero just to be safe

reason i restored is becsuse when trying to access the original wallet, it says 'node connection failed. check username/password'

is it possible to have xmr stolen by a public node? ive only ever used the defaults

No, they can't steal your XMR.

Try a different node like from here: community.xmr.to/nodes.html

Or run your own and be sure the restore height is properly set.

Or try restoring the wallet from see in the GUI/CLI wallets

as in full node wallet on pc?

thats worth a try, thanks

Yes, or use CLI/GUI with a remote node as well if needed.

But running your own node is always recommended.

Beags[m]: you only need to worry about stolen coins when you have synced the wallet so you see your old transactions AND a new unknown transaction emptying your wallet.... If you see no transaction history, you just aren't synched yet

thats a good point. theres no transaction history listed

* thats a good point. theres no transaction history listed, although its showing synced

<Beags[m] "thats a good point. theres no tr"> Check that the sync is to the correct block according to a second source like localmonero.co/blocks and that the restore height is set to a block before any monero was sent to the wallet. I can't see what you said previously, only that it seems you have a wallet which should have monero in it without any monero in it.

monerujo is acting strangely, so im trying with cake wallet

okay that worked. cake wallet shows the xmr

I'd guess there was an issue with the node monerujo was connecting to
