Serious question: Do people that hold BTC, ETH, etc actually spend their money on stuff, or is it mostly acquired to HODL?

Asking because I'm setting up a product payment method as only Monero, but could add the other stuff if there's demand for it

i'd guess that ppl are reluctant to sell in a bull market

<angrymonkeyboi[m "Serious question: Do people that"> Oddly something like Dogecoin is much more liquid - it was designed for tipping do gets used a lot. And of course 1D=1D! If you have a gold plated asset like bitcoin why would you sell it if you can loan it out and make a return?

Good points

Is it possible to short a cryptocurrency?

of course. on markets that offer it

Why do so many people have the [m] in their nick

Matrix bridge

Which ones?

dxrwzy9y[m]: You, from the perspective of IRC.

(a couple others who've spoken in the last half hour, too)

Like me?

It's an exclusive club for the 1%

Unfortunately, you're in the 99% :(

It actually looks like the 50% in the last hour.

honestly i thought the [m] meant they were on some kinda gen-z discord irc bridge

because they dunno how to use irc

Some might argue that's what using a Matrix bridge *is*.

I know what IRC is!

howd u know that

someone set up us the bomb

err, I mean leaked sensitive information to Matrix users

<sethsimmons[m] "Something without journaling/CoW"> How much performance hit would I experience with CoW or journaling? If CoW or journaling doesn't decrease sync performance much, I would use CoW or journaling.

Would `autodefrag` btrfs mount option slow down random read too much?

How reliable is LMDB on raw disk against power loss? Does LMDB have checksums for detecting corruption?

<vekin "because they dunno how to use ir"> Meh, I've used irssi+screen for a good number of years because the uni never closed out my account after I graduated, so I had a free bouncer. Matrix is basically a free easy way to keep doing that. Also you know, IRC is unencrypted if you care about privacy

xmrscott[m]1: i was mostly poking fun I don't actually believe that

interview candidate odysee.com/@RobBraxmanTech:6

Too bad that I can't buy LBC with other cryptocurrencies.

Or, I can't sell LBC for other cryptocurrencies.

* I can't sell LBC for other cryptocurrencies.

<fatcat[m] "Too bad that I can't buy LBC wit"> on dexchanges you need to find some trades which is relatively rare

bittrex is the easiest way to go to trade your LBC

<modul8[m] "interview candidate odys"> Hm..ok

as usual, bullshit headline

What does an "output offset" mean? The wallet GUI is asking me for it to mark an individual output as spent

And also, the "help" box says getmonero.org maintains a spent outputs list. Where can I find it?

It's the index of the output in blockchain order among all other outputs of its value (0 for rct).

Thanks! And why is it asking for the output amount? How is it relevant?

Because it looks like you're trying to tell it to mark an output as known spent. It wants to know which one.

Oh, misread.

Amount because there's a per amount list.

So outputs are indexed like "Nth output in the list of amount A".

So the second output of 1 monero and the second output of 2 monero would both have offset 1, but for a different amount.

So an output is uniquely described as a {amount,offset} tuple.

Does monerod ignore the value of `--db-sync-mode`? It seems that monerod turns on safe mode while it's synchronized and turn it off while it's not.

moneromoo: Oh! I didn't understand that the manual marking was also of outputs from the file. Thanks a lot

Not for the first sync, but it's possible it might do so when turning it off again.

The behavior of `--db-sync-mode` should be understood and documented.

hello. What would be the ramifications of daemon setting p2p-bind-port=80 from my home? Love

You might get extra non monero traffic from automated scanners that try to find a web server.

You would not be able to run a web server on the default unencrypted port, if you have one.

If it's a home, that's dependent on setting your router to the same ports I guess.

i don't have access to my router :/ would this setup be a 'safe' workaround? Gracias

What's the reason for forcing 10 confirmations in the GUI wallets? I know some exchanges are lower like 5 and 8, why is that not enough, has there ever been 3 or 4 orphaned blocks at a time?

To avoid (or make it very unlikely) transactions invalidating in cascade. Yes, resp.

I still don't love it, but oh well

Is it not possible to have a force send function like in the bitcoin wallets after it's been included in a block?

iirc, forcing everyone to wait 10 blocks helps with privacy

but a nice feature for a wallet might be to let the user queue up a transfer and have it autosend as soon as there are 10 confs. Although not sure if that can work or not

It can work.

<rupee[m]1 "iirc, forcing everyone to wait 1"> is that a feature of the wallet or the blockchain?

i think at the protocol level. some more info here: monero.stackexchange.com/questions/…eing-spent-without-10-confirmations

thanks

anyone know if the unstoppable digital wallet works with monero?

Test

Successful

wtf. I'm trying to set up BTCPay for my store, and while looking over the code for woocommerce, I see this:

Who checks in their encryption key?

Just PHP things, I suppose

The same encrypt/decrypt functions are declared twice

What is going on?!

Kk

wtf, one just has loging added

hi

It’s a placeholder

If all goes well, this channel will be bridged to the Discord tonight. It was bridged before, but if you have concerns lmk

I want to set up a monerod instance in order to accept payments on my website.

What's its behavior under load? How many CPU cores / RAM does it need?

once sync'd up monerod load is nearly zero

Is that RAM, CPU, and bandwidth?

hm, there will be bandwidth consumed of course

so, a 2 cpu, 3gb instance should be good?

I remember looking at the estimates for Decred and thinking that was a lot for a not-high-tier-adoption cryptocurrency.

but the p2p traffic is still pretty light right now. the big traffic consumers are wallet clients if you make rpc public

. . . but figured it was probably pretty "average" given blockchain needs.

yeah it should work fine with that. more RAM is always better of course but 3GB should be fine

2CPU, 4 GB is easily enough (you won't be able to compile it there though due to core_rpc_server).

3GB probably fine.

1 CPU would also be fine.

One more question: Has monerod been tested with ARM64?

Yes.

sweet

note that he didn't ask if th tst was successful

😆

Anyone got a systemd config for monerod?

Yes.

Please do share :)

contrib/systemd IIRC.

thanks. /utils/systemd

Thank you!

ah, now I see where people are getting their outdated mining advice old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/li…ool_0_pool_fee_moneromineco/gn427gy

sethsimmons: You're awesome. Thanks for creating that guide

Glad to hear its useful to people 🙂 That's why I do what I do!
