omega hello.  I am attempting to set monero daemon with tor using instructions here:  getmonero.org/resources/user-guides/tor_wallet.html#
- 
omega everything seems to be working except i have 0 in connections 
- 
modul8[m] <xrv0 "I made a provably fair monero lo"> i think that is very cool. its just inevitable that stuff like this will happen, thanks for taking the initiative for the community. 
- 
modul8[m] <Korbex "lol i was workin g on something "> choice is good :) 
- 
styxx[m] MONERO! IT'S THAT GOOD! 
- 
styxx[m] 
- 
mmxxx[m] Kudos for posting a lbry link 
- 
nvfanonlah[m] Btw, can monero at least verify sender?like a hash or smtg to verify it is that specific person sent to me 
- 
ndorf 
- 
nvfanonlah[m] Thank you 
- 
ndorf nvfanonlah[m]: tl;dr: the sender can prove to you that they sent the payment, but you can't determine this without their involvement 
- 
nvfanonlah[m] Oh yeah makes sense for a secure transaction.thanks a lot awesome .i will consider using this in future 
- 
pyu monero-dev 
- 
louipc where 
- 
nvfanonlah[m] ?monero dev, where? 
- 
louipc maybe #monero-dev

omega  hello.  I am attempting to set monero daemon with tor using instructions here:  getmonero.org/resources/user-guides/tor_wallet.html everything seems to be working except i have 0 in connections 
- 
omega fully selfish node 
- 
moneromooo Can you connect to it manually, for instance with telnet foo.onion 18080 ? 
- 
moneromooo (with torsocks maybe) 
- 
Jaska_ 
- 
Jaska_ worked wonders for me 
- 
omega thank you.  i'll check the link 
- 
omega I am able to connect to the daemon with my wallet and wallet rpc using the .onion address 
- 
moneromooo There's also a contrib/tor/monero-over-tor.sh script which should do it right. 
- 
omega only problem is myy daemon indicates 0 incomg connections 
- 
moneromooo Then it may just take some time before other tor peers learn about your address. 
- 
omega yes.  i was hoping that and left it over night, but it still says zero.  the instructions say that the p2p part should not go through tor.  only rpc conections.. 
- 
Jaska_ Have you added any TOR nodes to your config? 
- 
moneromooo If using --tx-proxy, that's right. I kinda forgot about that. 
- 
omega yes. the onion hidden service is running. 
- 
moneromooo Oh, the link you gave is about RPC, not P2P. 
- 
omega the instructions say: In this example, we don't use Tor for interacting with the p2p network, just to connect to the monero node, so only RPC hidden service is needed. 
- 
moneromooo Can you post your monerod command line then ? Maybe something else is odd. 
- 
omega ok. i'll get from other machine. thanks 
- 
omega ./monerod –prune-blockchain –in-peers=32 –log-level 0 
- 
omega Height: 2291560/2291560 (100.0%) on mainnet, mining at 329 H/s, net hash 1.96 GH/s, v14, 12(out)+0(in) connections, uptime 0d 8h 7m 15s 
- 
omega 2021-02-07 11:00:59.572 W No incoming connections – check firewalls/routers allow port 18080 
- 
Jaska_ Hmm.. so you're not using config file then? 
- 
Jaska_ that is not enough to run TOR node that is reachable 
- 
omega i'm using config file indicated in instructions no-igd=1 
- 
omega restricted-rpc=1 
- 
omega rpc-login=USERNAME:PASSWORD 
- 
Jaska_ add to your command-line --config-file /path/to/config/file to make sure it actually picks it up 
- 
omega ok 
- 
moneromooo I see no tor config there. 
- 
moneromooo Did you have any incoming peers on that node before changing anything to do with tor ? 
- 
Jaska_ he probably just want to access his node over tor, not connecting it to nodes over tor network 
- 
Jaska_ or? 
- 
omega I am able to connect a remote wallet to this daemon no problem.  Just the daemon or tor? wont allow incoming connectionsuld use 
- 
omega specifying config path still indictes 0 in.   i'll let in run more 
- 
omega the daemon gives this eeror after while:  No incoming connections – check firewalls/routers allow port 18080 
- 
omega this is the port indicated in instructions 
- 
Jaska_ Yup, that indicates you can't be connected over clearnet 
- 
omega but i thought that would be the rpc port not p2p 
- 
Jaska_ Just scratch anything you've done so far and start from the beginning, using this guide  monerodocs.org/running-node/open-node-tor-onion
- 
Jaska_ saves time and headaches 
- 
omega oh yeah. ok ok.  i'll do it.  thank you 
- 
Jaska_ just set public-node to 0 
- 
nioc 
- 
Yonatan[m] <Jaska_ "Just scratch anything you've don"> The monerodocs.org thing is amazing, never knew it existed before. 
- 
moneromooo IIRC it's out of date. Someone popped in a month or two ago relying on it and it was wrong. Can't recall what exactly though. 
- 
lululimon what should ulimit -l show? monero is telling me it isn't big enough 
- 
moneromooo Double it till it passes. It's not clear how much is needed. 
- 
lululimon apologies, what is the general command to increase it? 
- 
moneromooo ulimit -l X, with X being a number. 
- 
lululimon thank you 
- 
lululimon bother, now it tells me it exceeds a hard limit 
- 
lululimon Is this all held in a file somewhere? 
- 
moneromooo Need to be root to increase the hard limit. 
- 
moneromooo Probably. Not sure where though. 
- 
moneromooo Looking at the man page, looks like -H to set the hard limit. 
- 
fluffydonkey[m] sudo ulimit -l BIGNUMBER 
- 
fluffydonkey[m] but not too big :|

louipc over 9000 
- 
Kapli How good of an idea is to mine using the official monero wallet? 
- 
moneromooo It instructs the daemon to mine. It's slower than a pool miner. If you intend to mine solo, you can use a pool miner with the daemon (rather than wth a pool). 
- 
Kapli And comparing pool and solo mining what would be a better idea, I probably would just cpu mine, and can the daemon can be used to pool mine?
