I don't think so

changenow works in US

<ndorf "changenow works in US"> Are you in the US? I get blocked when I try to exchange currencies on there

I have to use Tor

i'm in the US and it works for me, yeah

interesting, i thought they blocked tor actually

You have to turn JavaScript on, but it works

I had to constantly change my identity until I got an exit node that wasn't from the US

i've used it directly within the past week. from a very obvious Comcast residential IP

same here

however, I seem to remember them blocking me when i tried over Tor, with a german exit

there's also godex.io which does not seem to block anything

.

with monero wallet cli how do i set a payment id?

the syntax just says address amount

oh nvm payment id is last

bah says invalid argument

wah its deprecated

so if someone requires a payment_id i basically can't pay?

oof

vekin Payment IDs are now integrated into the address you are sending to, if you are asked to manually send to a payment ID the service you are using hasn't had any updates in multiple years.

yeah i'm realizing that now, previously i had just sent the monero to their main address

they only just now started asking for a payment_id so it was confusing for me

How am I supposed to configure threads in xmrig?

JSON configuration settings for threads aren't really documented by xmrig.

* JSON configuration settings for threads aren't really documented well by xmrig.

vekin What are you trying to do? I'm confused and a little interested.

an online merchant i had been purchasing from used to just ask for payment to one address

which was fine, but now the email asking for payment points to a page that asks for order number as payment id

i'm just going to message them informing them that the feature was deprecated

although if i'm being honest having a bunch of sub-addresses for literally every single payment seems cumbersome

guess they will have to figure it out :/

Yeah, sounds like a case of they went out of their way to find good documentation just to find out dated documentation. Su addresses can be reused though.

Integrated addresses docs: monerodocs.org/public-address/integrated-address

Could even have the order number encoded as the payment ID, just need to encode it because when the two were separate people would deposit to exchange without ID and get charged a recovery fee.

fehho[m]: yeah it looks like they just need to update their payment system, i'm probably the only one using it LOL

Can I mine to a subaddress instead of the primary address?

Why can I not label subaddress 0 of an account?

* Why can I not label subaddress 0 of an account in monero CLI wallet?

Ah, the label for subaddress 0 is account label.

fatcat[m]: Yes

Yes???

All subaddresses are derived from your seed. It all goes to the same wallet

Configuring xmrig is goddamn hard.

fatcat[m]: web.getmonero.org/2019/10/18/subaddress-janus.html

Once you have it configured it's smooth sailing

I'm using xmr-stak-rx because I get the same hash rate

Which mining software do you recommend?

What's your CPU?

I tried to mine with a not so old 8 cores intel xeon

but it was like 2€/year payout

but I was using monerod for mining, probably it's not great

lol

monerod is solo mining. You'll have more luck with pool mining

does xmrig have the background mining featuer?

it's not really a mining machine, it's a server I use

so if I want to use its cpu for whatever reason I don't want to have to stop mining mnually

pos computer keeps hard locking

pretty sure my motherboard is toast

you're running linux Infinity8_ ?

please past last liens of kern.log

<Infinity8 "What's your CPU?"> 5600X

I don't know how to make xmrig use all huge pages instead of 11% of all huge pages.

are you sure hugepages are better?

MMU access time shouldn't be the bottleneck here

It is written that huge pages increase performance a lot.

According to youtube.com/watch?v=nPLDjBh9BwA, using all huge pages increases hash rate from 6780 to 7200.

mawk: yes. Feb 16 00:28:06 mintyworkstation kernel: [ 6980.949474] perf: interrupt took too long (3935 > 3913), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50750

Feb 16 00:28:07 mintyworkstation kernel: [ 6981.813268] ata3: SATA link down (SStatus 1 SControl 300)

It does it in Windblows as well

hm

to me it looks like an issue with your hdd

but maybe not in the hdd itself

memtested already for 8 passes

mawk: possibly

I am getting SATA messages at boot

How can I make xmrig use all 2MB huge pages?

do you have latest microcode for your cpu?

your cpu doesn't support 1GiB hugepages fatcat[m] ?

I'm not sure if it would be better or not

mawk: I think it may support 1GB pages, but I want to first experiment with 2GB pages.

2MiB you mean?

Yes

2MB pages

`xmrig --bench=1M` says `huge pages 11% 128/1168 +JIT`. I want 100%.

mawk: Sometimes when I'm turning it on, it'll just constantly restart itself and not successfully post

* `xmrig --bench=1M` says `huge pages 11% 128/1168 +JIT`. I want 100% instead of 11%.

ah Infinity8 yeah that seems like a real hardware issue then

I was leaning on the driver side for a bit

do you have your latest cpu microcode?

are you asking me or fatcat?

I figured out xmrig couldn't utilize all huge pages due to permission issue.

I just need to figure out how to permit non-root users to use a lot of huge pages.

With all huge pages, I get 7250H/s

7139H/s

sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=1280

and then all users have them

put vm.nr_hugepages=1280 in /etc/sysctl.d/40-hugepages.conf

fatcat[m]:

then it's automatic at boot

mawk: I already have that. The problem is non-root users aren't permitted to use more than 128 huge pages by default.

I have to find a way to give permission to non-root users.

it's probably another sysctl

It can be /etc/security/limits.conf

I realized I have to mount hugetlbfs in order to allow non-root users to request huge pages.

<Hmm -_-> Hi guys! I want to ask you several questions: 1. Can I get balance in my wallet or perform some transactions with JSON RPC? 2. Exist some API to work with xmr wallet? 3. I was trying to use Web3 to work with wallet and use some public nodes but no luck with this. Need I some private node for this? (Check balance or perform transactions) Thanks in advance!

How can I make xmrig use 1GB huge page as a non-root user program?

* How can I make xmrig use 1GB huge pages as a non-root user program?

Hmm: get_balance; yes; much better to run your own

getmonero.org/resources/developer-guides/wallet-rpc.html should have a fairly up to date list of the wallet RPC.

<fatcat[m] "How can I make xmrig use 1GB hug"> Huge pages are only accessible as a root user, AFAIK. No way around running XMRig as root.

nvm, just read scrollback, ignore me :)

sethsimmons[m]: I realized monerod just fragmented RAM too much.

After stopping monerod, xmrig can get all huge pages it wants as a non-root user application.

The solution is to start xmrig before monerod.

3 1GB huge pages are only 0.7% faster than 1280 2MB huge pages. Disappointing.

I'm going to use 1280 2MB huge pages.

* I'm going to use 1280 2MB huge pages because it is easier to allocate smaller pages.

Can I change the number of used threads in xmrig during runtime through API calls?

You can force a load of a new config file while running

This does exactly that: github.com/dhensen/xmrig-auto-throttler

How does xmrig-auto-throttler measure system load?

sethsimmons[m]: ^^

Idk I'm not the dev, dig through the Github I linked and find out 🙂

sethsimmons[m]: His program depends on `xprintidle`.

I don't use X server...

I use sway.

This is also a terrible way to measure idle status on a headless server.

Ok, not sure how I can help you with that

I was sharing it as an example of how to change config file while running

Where is xmrig HTTP API documented?

DuckDuckGo is your friend

Thats the first link returned by "xmrig api docs"

hi there. if i send coins to changenow n they send me xmr, does the kyc exchange that i got coins from know about the xmr i get?

am i supposed to send coins to my wallet (only have xmr wallet from now) and then send to changenow for most privacy? thanks

sethsimmons[m]: xmrig.com/docs/miner/api/summary is not really useful.

I don't know what to do with it.

runnin gui with full local node n vpn

<fatcat[m] "sethsimmons[m]: xmrig.co"> Open an issue if those docs aren't good enough for you. Again, I'm not the dev for that, so I'm not sure how I can help.

I somehow figured it all out.

What kind of person steals from their own community? www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6d5yt5/what_fluffypony_just_did_is_not_ok/

y'all do this every damn day.

<Bananaboat> eh

<Bananaboat> who cares... he made a tweet and speculators bought like crazy

peanut butter jelly time!

<Bananaboat> dont buy crypto based off some dudes tweet

<Bananaboat> buy it based on the fundamentals

<Bananaboat> yeah he pry shouldnt of done it but fluffy does have a point >_>

No buy crypto based on whether the toast falls butter side down or not.

I have no idea what fluffypony supposedly did to prompt that reddit thread.

made a toungue-in-cheek announcement of the Monero Enterprise Alliance

Its just a spammer, ignore them.

Success has enemies

I noticed it was a spammer. I'm just curious about the historical context of the reddit thread.

Fluffy’s gotta be used to it by now

Thanks, re: MEA.

I assume there is no MEA, and the whole thing was just empty nonsense.

I think it was during the crazy 2017 bubble with ICO's, scammy pump and dump coins, pushing marketing hype and "partnerships"

And it was not meant to be anything but a joke as I understand it

It was about that long ago, judging by the reddit thread, yeay.

(three year old thread)

Well we can see what some known entity like Elon Musk can do to the markets

I've never really traded cryptocurrencies, so I hadn't kept up with this stuff. I'm considering doing so now, in a very low-key way (more like a volatile savings account than "market trader" activity), but I don't have any intention of doing so with Monero -- which I would prefer to just use more like a checking account (a way to buy and sell actual products and services without holding paper

money in-hand).

Yeah, Elon was a grenade in a room full of daytraders.

.stock GME

Monero isn't meant to be pumped :D It is quite boring. It just does what it says on the tin - the most private p2p electronic money out there.

exactly what I'd want from Monero

Doesn't mean it won't appreciate in value over time though.

Basic economics suggests it should appreciate over time, at least for a while.

apotheon: mea.business

that's the announcement video

but nobody reads the whitepaper

or the closing credits

lo

lol

fluffypony: Thanks. I'll check it out later.

I imagine fluffypony sitting at home or work or whatever thinking "I'm getting pinged a lot. Are they talking about that MEA crap again?"

hahahah

pretty much

<Voker> why are we all bots

ur the bot

<Voker> :what:

You're both bots, only I'm real

you're a towel

<Bananaboat> its RTC feeds, they are using a different platform than you to connect to the channel etc

<Bananaboat> omfg

<Bananaboat> thats what this is about??? xDDDD

<Bananaboat> this video??

<Bananaboat> "ICO coming soon, obviously" is obviously a joke about all the ICOs >_<

Can I make a CCS to raise both money, and volunteers? I want to push for an effort but don't have the expertise in it myself

angrymonkeyboi[m: you can ask in #monero-community for CCS related things

mebbe get more response

okay thanks

howdy o/ is it possible to use wallet-rpc with a daemon that is never fully synchronized? my node is always lagging few blocks behind and rarely reaches the "Synchronized OK" state. but I still want to check if I received payments.

Yes, IIRC all wallets except mobile/GUI will still work properly if the daemon is a few blocks behind

But you shouldn't be always a few blocks behind -- have you tried running with the `--enable-dns-blocklist` flag?

Could be your hitting malicious nodes that are known and thats causing the sync issues.

yes I'm running with this flag, and it outputs hundreds of banned IPs from time to time

I think it's an issue with not enough CPU

What hardware are you running on?

amazon ec2 t3.micro

Hmm would expect that could stay in sync after a slow IBD

Odd

I really thought that once synchronized it would be really easy to keep up with the network, but apparently not. It was even worse when I tried with a nano instance

but when I change the instance type to a medium/small type, it synchronizes quite fast and stays in sync. but price wise it's not worth it

so I was wondering also if it's possible to connect to a remote node and hash to get credits on the node? I tried this afternoon to use a remote node with wallet-rpc but after several hours I got disconnected. it's not reliable. and running the full node on the instance, if not in sync it seems I can't use rpc :'(

I would recommend another provider other than AWS

What are you looking to spend?

Hetzner is a good general option, Linode isn't bad, cockbox accepts Monero and works alright

it's just convenient because my website/service is already on EC2 and I can safely/easily have a wallet-rpc instance with which I communicate to check payments

ah

hetzner doesnt accept crypto right sethsimmons?

Sadly, no.

I've reached out to them and they said they'll take it into consideration but I doubt it's a serious reply.

I pay my hetzner servers using xmr via a reseller

how?

if you look around there's a few people in the seedbox space offering this

just contact them and ask for the specific specs you need

huh

links?

so it's like 2nd hand server? Then not so interesting

it's always 2nd hand ;) but sure does sound interesting

walkerservers.com for example seems to be using coinpayments.net

(I get "THROW EXCEPTION: tools::error::no_connection_to_daemon" from wallet-rpc if my node is not Synchronized OK ready, which is never). So I was more thinking to use --rpc-client-secret-key and stay always connected to a remote node. Is that safe, will it work?

I just realized you are hosting some nodes sethsimmons xD

I'll give it a try

<d4boo "I just realized you are hosting "> Yeah should be quite stable 🙂

Use node-1, others might be going away for a bit as I switch hosters.

ha. my setup is in frankfurt I was thinking of node-2

but shouldn't be a big issue

ha sorry node-1 is also in frankfurt

perfect

will the --rpc-client-secret-key have any effect, as in hashing to get credits on your node?

I don’t have RPC hashing enabled, so don’t need to worry about that.

hi folks

I'm new in monero mining. I think that now a days its worth mining more than Bitcoin or Ethereum for example

If you just have a CPU, it's certanly worth mining monero a whole lot more than mining bitcoin :)
