Any tip on how to speed up monerod's blockchain sync? If I let it sync at the current rate it's not gonna finish this year
-
crm
I know you can import the blockchain manually, but will I have to do that every time I want to update the blockchain or will monerod do it automatically from that point onwards?
-
fehho[m]
That speed sounds like you have a spinning disk hard drive. Once you import you should be able to keep up with the network, but the only 'fix' is using a flash memory.
-
crm
Yea, I have an HDD on this machine. I'm on FreeBSD though so I suppose importing the 'linux64' tar will not cause any problems, right?
-
crm
Nevermind the 'linux64' part, I confused some stuff in the guide :-)
-
crm
I'm a bit confused with some stuff. If monerod hasn't synced the blockchain yet, will I be able to use monero-wallet-cli or does monerod first have to fully sync?
-
mmxxx[m]
Needs to sync first
-
crm
mmxxx[m]: Thanks :)
-
mycorrhizae[m]
Man all these new defi shitcoins are a little much
-
fehho[m]
crm: You could use someone else's node while yours syncs, but that is obviously using not your node.

multifractal
since yesterday the monero gui client on tails can't connect to any remote node. it just spins for a minute and says disconnected. no idea why, it worked the day before.
-
multifractal
I'm seeing "Some problems at connect, message: "Connection Refused""
-
multifractal
in the logs
-
multifractal
I've tried many remote nodes, and get the same problem with all of them
-
multifractal
Only since yesterday, prior to that I was able to connect and make transactions
-
moneromooo
Remote as in not yours ?
-
moneromooo
Or remote as in yours on another machine ?
-
manifest
are you the admin of your network, is it possible that someone has denied connections to remote node ports?
-
multifractal
moneromooo: I tried all the ones listed on moneroworld.com
-
multifractal
manifest: I don't think so, this is just at my home
-
multifractal
I put some of the console logs in a paste if that helps:
pastebin.com/LeugmPim
-
moneromooo
Oh, that's P2P. I am interested in that. I thought you meant RPC :)
-
moneromooo
Then rm p2pstate.bin, try again.
-
multifractal
moneromooo: hmm i don't know what you mean. i don't appear to have any file called p2pstate.bin
-
moneromooo
Look some more. It should be where the lmdb directory is. Usually ~/.bitmonero.
-
jonah_xd[m]
90% of the time i just scratch my head because i have no idea what you people are talking about.
-
multifractal
moneromooo: right you are, i found it in that hidden directory. deleted it and re-ran the monero gui app, but it still fails to connect.
-
moneromooo
Was monerod running when you removed the file ?
-
multifractal
moneromooo: i restarted it, i believe
-
multifractal
quick question - should i be running monerod daemon process manually before opening the GUI app? Of course normally I never used to do this, but I did it today so that I could view and paste the logs to you guys
-
moneromooo
Restart monerod with: --add-exclusive-node 88.198.163.90:18080
-
moneromooo
It should not matter either way.
-
moneromooo
(except if you want to run do things like adding options etc, or interact with the daemon)
-
multifractal
moneromooo: OK I restarted the daemon with the option you provided
-
multifractal
Want me to restart the gui app?
-
moneromooo
Does it connect ?
-
moneromooo
Just monerod.
-
multifractal
moneromooo: It seems to just be hanging on a warning called "no two valid DNS TXT records were received" (which I recall seeing before as well)
-
moneromooo
Does "status" show any outgoing connection ?
-
multifractal
moneromooo: I don't see anything like that - you mean in the console in the monerod output?
-
moneromooo
Yes.
-
moneromooo
sync_info then
-
moneromooo
Or just paste the line status prints.
-
multifractal
moneromooo: pastebin.com/3kuhTZ7p
-
moneromooo
Oh, that's TAILS isn't it.
-
multifractal
Hey, there's a new p2pstate.bin file where I had deleted it before
-
moneromooo
Expected.
-
moneromooo
Does "wget
getmonero.org" work ?
-
multifractal
moneromooo: yeah that downloaded a file index.html
-
moneromooo
You can remove it now.
-
moneromooo
It's failing at once so not timing out. I don't know why then.
-
multifractal
moneromooo: just FYI I had selected node.xmr.to:18081 a couple of days ago, and successfully made transactions
-
multifractal
i'm kinda hoping I come back to this in a month or so, and some updates have magically fixed everything
-
moneromooo
Well, you can try running with --log-level 1,net*:TRACE in case it gives better info.
-
moneromooo
With --add-exclusive-node 88.198.163.90:18080 again for less spam.
-
multifractal
moneromooo: pastebin.com/QCUMGnHU
-
moneromooo
Pastebin just started wanting js, I'll check that when it reverts to sanity.
-
moneromooo
(well, fucking cloudflare assholes do, not pastebin itself)
-
multifractal
moneromooo: is there somewhere else i can put it other than pastebin?
-
moneromooo
I use paste.debian.net usually.

moneromooo
Anyone knows whether "privacy pass" is legit or some knd of honeypot ?
-
moneromooo
Doesn't help. Seems to be an issue on your end tbh.
-
moneromooo
The instant fail hints no messge even gets on the wire.
-
manifest
i'd suggest trying another connection yeah
-
moneromooo
wget worked so connectivity's fine.
-
multifractal
moneromooo: I haven't changed any settings since it worked successfully to send/receive money
-
manifest
maybe the isp hates monero
-
moneromooo
Looks more like some kind of local configuration.
-
moneromooo
If it's TAILS, the ISP doesn't see it.
-
moneromooo
I assume TAILS since amnesia user in the logs.
-
multifractal
yep
-
moneromooo
I just checked I can connect to the node above via torsocks.
-
multifractal
What is the "instant fail" part? Are there any tails settings I can try changing?
-
moneromooo
If I knew that, I'd have told you. Sorry, you're on your own now.
-
multifractal
moneromooo: can you explain to me in layman's terms what is the problem? I don't really know anything about networking
-
moneromooo
If I knew that, I'd have told you. Sorry, you're on your own now.
-
moneromooo
You need to find someone who knows what TAILS does to have an idea of where to look really.
-
multifractal
moneromooo: This may or may not interest you - as a test, I just created a totally fresh tails USB, downloaded monero gui, and created a temporary dummy wallet. It is happily connected to node.xmr.to:18081. So I guess this means there is something I inadvertently screwed up with my original Tails stick - some configuration or something.
-
multifractal
It wouldn't be a problem with my wallet, right?
-
moneromooo
It's vaguely interesting since RPC and P2P use the same low level network code.
-
moneromooo
Only low level though.
-
multifractal
moneromooo: well how do you like that.... I just deleted the directory ~/Persistent/Monero and re-ran the gui app (which then asked me all the first-time configuration questions). After doing that it connects to node.xmr.to:18081 just fine. I just sent myself a little transaction to test it all out!
-
multifractal
(making sure to back up my wallets, of course)
-
multifractal
I must have inadvertently screwed up some setting somewhere, and giving it a fresh start fixed everything.
-
multifractal
It would have been more useful to keep the old screwed up directory, to compare changes and hopefully isolate what the problematic setting was, but oh well you live you learn
-
fatcat[m]
Why do I have to enable large page support in order to silence RandomX large page allocator exceptions in monerod log?
-
fatcat[m]
large page support wasn't documented anywhere.
-
fatcat[m]
I am not really mining...
-
sethsimmons
Huge pages are necessary for bulk block validation IIRC
-
sethsimmons
Since you don't (and shouldn't) run `monero` as root, it cannot assign huge pages itself.
-
sethsimmons
<fatcat[m] "I am not really mining..."> "not really", or actually not mining at all?
-
hyc
not required, it'll just hash a little slower without
-
sethsimmons
I only hit the actual stack trace when mining alongside `monerod`
-
sethsimmons
* Huge pages are optimal for bulk block validation IIRC
-
sethsimmons
Changed wording to optimal :)
-
sethsimmons
<hyc "not required, it'll just hash a "> Do you mean verify?
-
sethsimmons
This gets hit even if you're not mining in `monerod`.
-
hyc
verify is one step that hashes, yes
-
hyc
mining is another
-
sethsimmons
Ah, ok, thanks for the clarification.
-
fatcat[m]
I don't run monerod as root.
-
fatcat[m]
I'm not mining at all.
-
hyc
nobody does, I'd hope
-
fatcat[m]
I read a thing about 1GB page. Is it applicable to monerod, too?
-
hyc
running as root wouldn't change that eception anyway. huge pages must be preallocated
-
fatcat[m]
Unless there are large pages, randomx large page allocator keeps polluting monerod log with exceptions.
-
fatcat[m]
This must be dealt with or documented. It's not documented.
-
hyc
there's plenty of stuff in logs that's not documented
-
hyc
if monerod keeps running, then ignore it
-
fatcat[m]
I want to analyze monerod log. large page allocator exceptions make it impossible to analyze log.
-
fatcat[m]
It occupies 99.9999% of monerod log...
-
hyc
it is definitely annoying. randomx library should never have been written to use exceptions
-
fatcat[m]
monerod log becomes a public toilet with randomx large page allocator exceptions..
-
sethsimmons
Then open an issue about it if there isn't already one: 🙂
-
sech1
well, allocate some large pages on your system then and make monerod happy
-
hyc
there's proably been several, closed by now
-
hyc
or just setenv MONERO_RANDOMX_UMASK = 1
-
fatcat[m]
What does it do?
-
fatcat[m]
I executed `sysctl vm.nr_hugepages=1280`.
-
moneromooo
There's a patch on github to silence that after the first one.
-
fatcat[m]
What does `MONERO_RANDOMX_UMASK = 1` do?
-
fatcat[m]
By the way, which filesystem do you recommend for synchronizing monero blockchain on HDD? I'm using btrfs without copy-on-write, but btrfs without copy-on-write is less reliable than ext4 or xfs.
-
sethsimmons
Something without journaling/CoW is fastest, RAW is even faster.
-
sethsimmons
IIRC LMDB has to be patched to support raw but that is the fastest options.
-
hyc
-
hyc
and yes, sethsimmons is correct about filesystems
-
