00:37:49 <fluffydonkey[m]> I got a dumb question
00:38:10 <fluffydonkey[m]> The monero block-time is 2 minutes. Why is that so?
00:38:10 <fluffydonkey[m]> Why can't it be 10 secons?
00:38:17 <fluffydonkey[m]>  * The monero block-time is 2 minutes. Why is that so?
00:38:17 <fluffydonkey[m]> Why can't it be 10 seconds?
00:47:57 <gingeropolous> orphans and overhead
00:48:10 <gingeropolous> it *is* possible, but what do you achieve?
01:05:35 <kloinka[m]> coz processing, distributing and storage of "all them pesky blocks"!
01:07:22 <fluffydonkey[m]> <gingeropolous "it *is* possible, but what do yo"> Faster transactions, mostly. I'd make monero useful for coffee-shop  type of a setting

01:30:36 <gingeropolous> fluffydonkey[m], monero's already useful for coffee-shop re: time.
01:30:50 <gingeropolous> if your gonna try and double spend your 5$ latte , well... you're bored.
01:31:00 <gingeropolous> you don't need even 1 confirmation for that
01:31:10 <gingeropolous> the whole fast blocktimes was a meme / scam during the first altcoin era
01:46:06 <song1111[m]> Why can't I mine?
01:59:20 <fluffydonkey[m]> Is your computer plugged in?
04:20:02 <gingeropolous> song1111[m], how are you trying to mine? also, checkout #monero-pools

09:03:36 <Pixy> hi, is there any chance of an ARM compatible binary package for monero being put on the AUR, or alternatively a -git version?
09:40:15 <xmrdog> !seen moneromooo
10:49:53 <hyc> Pixy: AUR is Arch *User* Repository. If you want it, put it there yourself.
10:50:07 <hyc> But what's wrong with the ARM binaries that are already on getmonero.org download page?
11:10:37 <xmrdog> hey guys. what's the primary difference between the branch that v0.17.1.9 is on, and the master branch? there are quite a few divergences.
11:11:15 <xmrdog> is master currently stable for production and fully 0.17.1.9  compatible?
11:29:47 <xmrdog> ?
11:31:31 <xmrdog> bbl
13:05:49 <supus> Error: failed to load wallet: internal error: "<wallet>.keys" is opened by another wallet program
13:06:05 <supus> any way to restore a wallet from just the wallet and wallet.keys files?
13:21:12 <dEBRUYNE> supus: Is this a normal wallet or a Ledger wallet?
13:27:40 <supus> normal wallet
13:31:41 <dEBRUYNE> Try rebooting your system
13:35:46 <supus> It's an old wallet I found lying around. No monero software is running rn
14:43:27 <waselox> hello
14:51:50 <p1tt1> waselox: Hi
14:53:02 <Lyza> <supus> not 100% sure how the software knows when a wallet is open in another wallet, but I know it's not done at the OS level so it's proooobably in the cache file. try renaming 'wallet' to 'wallet.old'
14:54:07 <Lyza> if you do this you'll have to rescan the blockchain for your transactions, but I think will prolly work for you
14:54:48 <Lyza> wallet.keys holds the important secret, wallet is just cache stuff, not essential
14:56:28 <supus> that worked, thanks
14:56:36 <Lyza> yayy! no problem :)
14:57:01 <supus> let's see if past me left me a gift :)
15:03:29 <Inge-> it is amazingk to find forgotten treasures in wallets :D
15:06:06 <_I3^RELATIVISM> more like scary but sure Inge-
15:06:54 <Inge-> You sound like you are easily scared :D
15:07:01 <supus> green line is good, purple line is bad
15:07:04 <supus> very exciting
15:24:25 <stickaround> Hi

15:40:20 <raecarruth> maybe :D
15:42:42 <Mochi101> How much are we going to be paid to be crypto scammers?
15:43:00 <raecarruth> Inge-: how much you paying for crypto scammers nowadays?
15:43:08 <Inge-> Unfortunately all my ETH is stuck in the rigging of a DEFI ship going down off the Cayman Islands
15:43:19 <raecarruth> kek
15:44:53 <stickaround> I provide free cryptosystem guidance
15:44:56 <stickaround> It is free

15:46:30 <stickaround> This is because you're poor Mochi101
15:46:52 <Mochi101> exactly, I'm the second poorest guy in Europe.
16:22:42 <xmrdog> hi all. is the master branch software safe for production use and fully compatible with v0.17.1.9 ?
16:23:27 <xmrdog> commit cb70ae945 to be precise
16:23:31 <sethsimmons> No reason to use master for production, just use the latest tag and build from that.
16:23:45 <xmrdog> okay
16:24:13 <sethsimmons> Master would probably be fine but the latest tag will be the latest and most widely compatible/tested code.
16:29:11 <xmrdog> thanks!
16:37:34 <sethsimmons> NP.
18:17:50 <kulak> what is a good choice to buy monero?  I am starting with this link, but there are more options that I can choose from: https://www.cryptocoinsociety.com/guides/how-to-buy-monero/
18:18:55 <raecarruth> yes, kraken is good
18:19:18 <raecarruth> binance is another option, especially since they don't demand kyc for smaller withdrawal amounts
18:19:30 <kulak> what is kyc?
18:19:34 <supus> can also use tradeogre for no KYC crypto-to-monero
18:19:59 <raecarruth> also graviex
18:20:03 <raecarruth> know your customer
18:20:04 <supus> kulak: know your customer. It's where the exchange has to verify your identity
18:20:13 <raecarruth> it's anti money laundering crap
18:20:18 <raecarruth> cos, we're all crooks
18:20:21 <ndorf> KYC = Know Your Customer, aka you are required to dox yourself to the exchange.
18:20:25 <raecarruth> looking to fleece the government...
18:21:07 <raecarruth> https://graviex.net
18:21:11 <raecarruth> lesser known option
18:21:20 <raecarruth> but people i trust say that they're reliable
18:21:42 <supus> kulak: usually you have to upload a picture of your identity documents or verify them in a live videochat. Some exchanges also ask for additional documents such as proof of residence, occupancy etc.
18:22:06 <mmxxx[m]> volume is kinda low on graviex though
18:22:39 <supus> another option would be to buy them at a crypto ATM. Similar to regular ATMs where you can buy / sell crypto. Some require your phone number
18:22:54 <supus> check out coinatmradar.com for an overview of ATMs in your area
18:22:57 <raecarruth> how common are xmr atms....
18:23:55 <supus> don't know ... I have access to several in my area (given a bit of a drive though)
18:25:19 <raecarruth> you're in the EU
18:25:21 <raecarruth> ?
18:25:34 <supus> yes
18:25:54 <raecarruth> figures
18:27:51 <supus> non-xmr ATMs are useful as well though. Just buy litecoin or similar and exchange to monero via changenow / morphtoken etc.
18:28:08 <supus> once you're in crypto it's pretty easy to get xmr
18:34:24 <raecarruth> yep, that is true
18:44:34 <pyu> a list of exchanges, https://kycnot.me/
19:13:11 <raecarruth> thanks pyu
19:19:40 <XMRGONE> oday I exchanged $120 from BTC to XMR and it was sent to my sub address. After resyncing over 50 times and resetting the wallet creation height I have still not received the transaction. XMRChain and ExploreMonero both confirm the transaction was sent to the correct sub address, and the transaction is now at 55 confirms.
19:19:47 <XMRGONE> T*
19:20:17 <XMRGONE> I did the exchange into Exodus
19:20:32 <XMRGONE> Does anyone have any advice on what can be done...?
19:27:14 <sech1> Try to restore the wallet from seed words and use restore height 0
19:27:30 <nioc> exodus wallet 0_o
19:27:59 <sech1> Also, if you use many subaddresses there make sure that you generate all of them before syncing
19:32:34 <XMRGONE> This is the second time I have lost funds from Exodus and TBH I will never trust it again. Mind you it was only $120 but I'm poor and that's a really shitty loss. I tried importing the private key into the actual Monero GUI and started from 0 but I don't think that will transfer the funds from the sub address correct? I will also try to restore the
19:32:34 <XMRGONE> wallet from the seed words but will that keep the sub address?
19:39:05 <ndorf> yes it will, as long as exodus generated the subaddress in the standard way
19:39:23 <u29601mg6ba93j[m> XMRGONE: the advice from @sech1 will work. make sure you read both points restore from height 0 and generating subaddresses first
19:42:13 <XMRGONE> Does it matter if I restore in the Monero GUI, or should I try to restore on a new exodus install. I started the restore from seed on the GUI a couple hours ago 340000 blocks left.
19:43:24 <ndorf> i would use the GUI.
19:45:27 <XMRGONE> Alrighty, fingers crossed. Thank you all for the help and I'll let you know how it goes!
19:46:13 <ndorf> XMRGONE: do you have 200 or more subaddresses in this wallet?
19:47:14 <XMRGONE> No, just the one. Exodus allows you to add a subaddress and as soon as it receives a transaction it generates a new one
19:47:28 <ndorf> gotcha. then it should Just Work(tm)
19:48:38 <XMRGONE> Awesome I'll keep in touch the GUI should finish in around an hour or two
19:48:53 <ndorf> if you know for sure the block height of the first transaction, you can use that as the restore height, instead of 0
19:49:12 <ndorf> but it won't work if you get it wrong, so if you're less than 100% sure it's probably better to just wait
19:50:08 <ndorf> (it has to be less than or equal, which is why 0 always works)
20:43:06 <waselox> hello
20:46:12 <dEBRUYNE> hi
21:16:48 <waselox> for coin that  has 2 decimal places and fee is 0.01 per byte running with latest v14 why fee/transaction is 14.33 (too much)
23:12:34 <h2017> hi
