People keep talking about the market cap of Monero

How can you know the market cap without knowing the total number of coins in circulation?

all the coins ever issued are considered to be in circulation

with stuff like xrp they have to exclude the stuff owned by the company that they say their just holding

the total number of coins mined is known, so long as there is no bug allowing people to mine extra

fluffydonkey[m]: we do know the total number of coins in circulation

lost coins are still in circulation, they're just inaccessible

How long should it take to import and verify the entire blockchain from a .raw file?

koork: depends on the speed of your computer

fluffypony: Old laptop - Intel i5-7300U (2.5GHz dual core), and 8gb ram. rn I'm using a hard-drive, and it had completed a bit more than half in more than 24 hours. How much faster can I expect an SSD to be?

I'm switching soon, so the actual question is if I should keep it running, or just do the whole thing all over again with an SSD

I can download the entire Monero blockchain on a i7300U in about 24 hours.

mabye it's a 7200U? I don't remember. But at any rate, set it to run overnight, and there's a good chance it'll be done by morning

Moneqro: You're right, it's 7200. Typo haha. The .raw file is already on my computer - took it only a few hours to download. The problem is the verification process

koork: it's quite IO bound

so an SSD will make a MAJOR improvement

I can import the .raw in an hour on an SSD

but that's on very fast PCI-e gen 4 nvme, so ymmv

Oh nice. Thanks a lot

An ssd would take a few hours to do the whole thing

test

test failed

lol Mochi101

Is it semi-safe too buy a second hand Trezor T? Found one on marketplace that saves me 80 bucks lol

I wouldn't touch it

same as picking up a USB drive in a parking lot

woodshack[m]: I wouldn't...I would either buy it in person from their booth at a conference, or from an authorised distributor that's listed on their site

woodshack[m]: twitter.com/fluffypony/status/949640461941080064

Thanks Fluffy, might aswell spend the extra 80 bucks and not have to worry

yeah exactly

"viable awesome hamster design" is an accurate representation of what happened :D

lol

LOL

perfect

can anyone help me with an issue I'm having with the monero daemon

I managed to download about half the blocks but then I started getting an error "Exception in cleanup_handle_incoming_blocks: Failed to commit a transaction to the db: File too large"

Are you using a DOS filesystem ?

Or some other funky not modern one ?

fluffypony, recovery words included "viable", "awesome", "decision"

Check whether the current size of the data.mdb file is close to 2 GB or 4 GB.

oooh design

nvm... read that wrong

that is crazy though

I'm using ext4 and data.mdb is 9gb in size

2021-01-23 15:56:43.269    W There were 79 blocks in the last 90 minutes, there might be large hash rate changes, or we might be partitioned, cut off from the Monero network or under attack, or your computer's time is off. Or it could be just sheer bad luck.  ... many blocks popping up, everything okay?

it was mentioning sinc data returned a new top block candidate a lot but I only half the blocks downloaded

I'm still 4 years behind

actually a very low average on my node too: Last 100: avg. diff 210488194292, 68 avg sec/block

too lazy to calculate the chance of that happening.. from intuition I would say it is a bit unusual

anyone can give some feedback.. I'd say more the unusual

that link is awesome. 6 std is a discovery in high particle physics ;)

*high energy

that's why I'd say it's more than unusual

Remember kids. If you call project coral reef for what it is - fluffy embezzling half a mil usd from the monero fund for a website with smaller adoption than monero woo plugin, you will get excommunicated.

Would quantum computers be able to retroactively trace transaction history?

noone44[m]: mfoolb there has indeed been a large hashrate change

strange indeed

koork: yes, as it stands.

also note that firo is currently suffering from a 51% attack

matryoshka: yes.. I saw that.. probably some botnet that switched to xmr mining

also from 2miners.com

it is interesting indeed.

koork: it's a real concern with every blockchain based system. Bitcoin at least has the benefit that you'd share your public key widely.

depending on one piece of tech for your opsec will always fail

Clali: Thanks

Anyone alive?

I'm trying to use monero-wallet-rpc on stagenet using a remote node. But the client doesn't seem to be able to connect. Within the monero-javascript library I get a "Wallet is not connected to daemon" error. I used the following command to start the monero-wallet-rpc on Mac OS X "./monero-wallet-rpc --stagenet --daemon-host

stagenet.community.xmr.to:38084 --rpc-bind-port 38084 --rpc-login rpc_user:abc123 --wallet-dir ./"

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I am alive RichBrown

sorry cant help you xrv0 maybe you know my answer... have you ever used XMRIG, why is some difficulty % in red and others green?

hi

hai

--rpc-bind-port 38084 --rpc-login rpc_user:abc123 <= Remove those two

^ xrv0

Are you sure? I need the rpc server to connect to via monero-javascript
