<coinpouch> I have few dollars in BTC in coinbase, pretty new to it all. I like the idea of Monero, but not sure where to start.

coinbase does not have monero

Kraken is a good exchange that does

+1 for kraken, great for all kinds of coin-shuffling, but beware their sudden demands for tissue samples

No more than coinbase I imagine

I don't use kraken for fiat, so they're not heavying on me

Kraken is increasing their banking support in 2021

They are taking the message, be your own bank, to heart

apparently, for customers in some jurisdictions (eg Aus), they don't permit XMR

aum: is that where you are?

nioc no thankfully

where I am, I can enter or leave XMR at will -- at least for now

<coinpouch> Ah,ok thanks for the feedback

selsta: another n+1: 178.128.189.134

n+2 ?

but seems to be one, also digital ocean

well it was blocking me with +1 height

it depends when you look

yea, but same guy

if you just get a block and they didn’t update yet they will say +1

ok

after a couple seconds they will update to +2

added it

thank

[2020-12-28 14:30:49.643] msr FAILED TO APPLY MSR MOD, HASHRATE WILL BE LOW

Running as root/admin?

no - as a low-priv user 'monero'

any way to get MSR working without root?

does 2kh/s sound reasonable for a full-throttle i5 miner?

<aum "any way to get MSR working witho"> Not that I know of

ok

<aum "does 2kh/s sound reasonable for "> Depends on the i5

xmrig topping at 300% CPU -- just 75% of total processor -- any way to get to closer to 400%?

the settings file lets you change the amount of threads

You probably don’t want it using all threads on that proc

The auto detection is very good in XMRIG

aum: how much L3 cache do you have

again 2MB per thread

It’s more cache dependent than thread dependent

my i5 is 6MB so 3 thread max

how do I set that?

bios?

set what?

L3 cache

or is that a fixed hardware sepc

it is what it is

yep

Unless you really know what you’re doing just let XMRig set the settings for you

it sets mine at 3 threads but being a prebuilt with marginal PSU I use 2 threads

it's just a spare hp prodesk I had sitting around, now it's doing nothing but running xmrig full time

ahh, nearly 4kh/s now - that's better

thumbs up

hmm, no binaries for linux over arm - is that a troublesome build?

xmrig, that is

should be no different than building for linux x86

would be interesting to compare the hardware $/h/s and the electricity $/h of ARM versus i5/7

to see if there's an economic case to build up a rack with dozens of raspberry pis

not for raspberrys

maybe for some other ARM models

all raspberry pis lack hardware AES

pretty much all other ARM vendors support it tho

I designed a mining farm using this amazon.com/Block-Erupter-Port-USB-220V/dp/B00GCQQE42

and a bunch of cheap ARM tvbox things

that was back in cryptonite days tho, not enough RAM on these things for randomx

lots of AMlogic sticks like amazon.com/Ocamo-Android-Amlogic-Octa-core-regulations/dp/B07F24VNNV

it would have done something like 5000H/s at 240W

contacted some ODMs in China to custom make more of the tvbox gadgets but never went to production

out of curiosity i imagine that the attacker is paying a lot of money to have all of these ip addresses. is there any way he could have got them on the cheap?

who is he paying and how much?

a bunch are at OVH. a VPS from them is $3.50/month

he's paying some money and the management of all these boxes also involves something. Guess he's really pissed.

he probably has nothing better to do with his time

ryo_ru: If i was on their place i would shit bricks daily from recognising a thought that

actually more inclined and financial backed guys can come and knock you down. So i would rush for resolution asap

fice: But they are stupid and short sighted, with each update they will think it is the last one, pat themselves on the back and declare victory.

Welcome to Monero. Are you tired of winning yet?

that was interesting lol

ignore it

did some news come out about grin?

Will you sell your Monero to buy Tari?

Hello

If possible I would need support for installing CLI on android

Can you advise an how to once downloaded the files, it's unclear to me how to deal with .bin files

* Can you advise an how to? Once downloaded the files, it's unclear to me how to deal with .bin files

Sorry in advance for the generic request

checkmate1984[m]: afaik you have to use something like termux

Installed, I am not rooted

So I have to cd /path and...?

yes

./monero-wallet-cli

Download termux, move the binary into termux's folder, chmod +x monero-wallet-cli, then run with ./monero-wallet-cli

<coinpouch> It was suggested to use Kraken, for buying Monero, I'm in the US. Which Deposit method is better?

<coinpouch> Etana or Synapse ?

<fehho[m]1 "Download termux, move the binary"> I was getting there considering the no root options... Thanks I'll proceed

CLI Android install Need to use a file manager to move the files because termux can't read outside of it's app storage without root.

Done, the issue here is that it's still complaining that I am no root

Maybe it's something about termux settings also

Do you think that you are too intelligent to be in a cult? Then I would encourage you to look into how any other cult works. They aren't populated by stupid people. Aum Shinrikyo was almost exclusively university professors and graduates. For Pete's sake - they had the know-how and means to make WMDs.

thats what they said when i joined scientology also

best to not engage the spam

Look on the bright side. At least you don't need to look for signs of life from fireice_uk anymore.

What command complains about no root?

<fehho[m]1 "What command complains about no "> ./monero-wallet-cli

go moonero

When you do ls, the binary should now be green and you can run it.

<fehho[m]1 "When you do ls, the binary shoul"> $ chmod +x monero-wallet-cli

It does not change colour, it seems not to be executable.. Have I done something wrong?

Is it best to use stagenet or testnet with latest release? (Using this monerodocs.org/infrastructure/networks ) for reference. (Stagenet Faucet complains I'm using an invalid address.)

checkmate1984[m]: what platform? are you sure you have the right binary?

<coffeeroaster "CLI Android install: what platfo"> Amr8 for a fairphone 3? I guess..

checkmate1984[m]: what do you see with "file monero-wallet-cli" ?

<coffeeroaster "CLI Android install: what do you"> file monero-wallet-cli

* $ file monero-wallet-cli

The program file is not installed. Install it by executing:

pkg install file

I know I'm interrupting but to use the 'file' program to check what a file is, you need to install the 'file' program.

<ask6155 "I know I'm interrupting but to u"> True.. Installation command?

checkmate1984[m]: install it on your workstation (assuming you have access to a linux box)

how are monero hard forks represented by version numbers? (major, minor, etc.)

for example i am on 0.17.1.0 -- is that the latest fork?

and 0.18.xxx will be the next hard fork?

The major block number increases. Currently... 14. The minor version is what the miner supports (so 14 until a software version that groks 15 is out).

0.17.1.0 looks like a software version.

thats what i meant software version

sorry

but that is also interesting thanks :-)

node is running good with block_tor.txt from 20 hours ago. Height: 2262234/2262236 (99.9%) on mainnet, not mining, net hash 1.66 GH/s, v14, 12(out)+81(in) connections, uptime 0d 20h 57m 54s

Version .7 ?

yes

ok quick question from a new monero user..... .. if i create a "subaccount" called "MyOnlineShop".... and give it to 1000 people.... how do I know which 1000 actually sent money??? can they specify an ID/etc.. or is there one generated and I can verify by matching what they say the transaction number is to what it shows as a transaction under sub account "MyOnlineShop"??

grinchie: they can generate proof of tx

grinchie: however, most shops I've seen that used monero handle this issue by creating a new address for every purchase

*use

awesome... let me see if my google foo turns up anything

grinchie: you can see that option in monero-gui, by the way

hey guys, what kind of equipment do you recomend to mine?

shotgun_surgery[: look for randomx benchmarks, randomx is an algo that monero uses for mining

Amazing. Thank you onf

<coffeeroaster "CLI Android install: install it "> Ok, so just to reconcile a bit: 1. The bin files are normally manageable having root permission through CLI interfaces like Termux 2. A possible circumvention may be to change the permissions through chmod +x 3. To check the file details in to look for further possibilities (considering that is not possible to install "file" on termux) is to esamine the same files on

an Ubuntu machine using the software "files"... Correct?

hay I have a public node. Would someone be willing to look at the config files and tell me if I had any error. Doing clear and i2p so far.

mnt_grrrl, i'm not an expert so i won't help with the config but what happens when you do monerod status? that tells you if you have incoming p2p connections

62(out)+15(in) connections

from my own limited experience, if the blocks are at 100% and you've got incoming connections then you are doing what the monero community wants

ok. Wanting to increase the traffic + add tor

sure. i can't help with any of that

why do you have so many out connnections (just asking?). The default is 12. Does increasing the amount help with anything?

i'm asking from a position of ignorance. i wouldn't know

mnt_grrrl, they told me on this channel that increasing that amount of out connections won't accomplish much of anything

I keep mine at default 12.

h2017, somewhere it suggested that number given the current situation

for people doing vps bandwidth is plentiful and speeds up the propagation

It’s recommended to keep the out peers at the default 12 unless you’re doing the initial block download.

More than that actually harms the network in a few ways and is at the least not beneficial to you in any way.

Allowing inbound peers is the most helpful, and is unlimited by default IIRC.

sethsmimmons: thank you that is fixed

afaik a healthy p2p network spans over a large area and not "everyone is connected to everyone", that’s why it is recommended to keep at default

though I could not explain why :P apart from using less bandwidth
