i got approved for coin swap API so technically i could integrate it into the bot

What's a good manageable amount of fiat to deposit without getting screwed by fees?

tough to say you need to decide what you're comfortable with

I just read your earlier reply Bill48105 ... nice 👍

lol which one fibonacci

about the escrow stuff

wtf, I was just checking poloniex "You cannot withdraw or deposit this asset, but it can still be traded."

I've had some XMR there for years

and now they tell me I can't get them anymore?

nice

lol well trade for ltc then withdraw :D

^

and buy monero back somewhere you can lol

still feels like a scam, and I wonder if that is legal

Bill48105: why do you suggest ltc?

ltc is common, cheap to move vs btc & fast compared to btc

sounds good

ltc is my go to for moving around coins between exchanges, platforms

probably just temporary

never know with exchanges

bunch of em stopped doge during the hype

What's the best place to buy and sell monero?

Did binance resolve its eth withdrawal issues?

<silverdragon[m] "What's the best place to buy and"> Depends on which country you are in. For some it's kraken.

<mmxxx[m] "Depends on which country you are"> What about exchanging from ETH ortl BTC? Same place?

<silverdragon[m] "What about exchanging from ETH o"> Btc? Yes.

hi, how much disk space is needed for a full

monero node

echelon: at least 100GB

mine's using 98GB as of this moment.

however, you can also run a pruned node which is more like 35GB i think.

SSD is also highly recommended. rotating drive will be much slower. still more or less usable, though.

yeah i made mistake of trying HDD at 1st. it was gonna take 800 years or something to sync lol

Bill48105: as opposed to ssd?

how come?

dunno about syncing, but it takes much longer to create transactions, i think it's because the ring signature needs random outputs from all over the blockchain.

i ran it that way for a year or two, so like i said, still more or less usable (if you are willing to wait), but flash media is much much better.

i'm actually running one off a microSD card and that is almost as good as an SSD, much better than HDD

microsd is better than hdd?

i find that hard to believe

why?

but true

microsd, like all flash storage, has much better random access than spinning drives.

don't think a microSD has anywhere near the life span of a nice SSD

better meaning faster, in this case.

nioc: that's probably correct.

in this case the node is an SBC with a microSD slot and no USB3 or other convenient way to attach an SSD.

yeah when i switch to even sata ssd it sync'd in hours

nvme would fly i bet

i've had nvme die on me

but non mechanical is key

that sucks

no warning?

what brand

nope

uhh

yes nvme is nice

i've had 2 ssd die so far

both zero warning just dead

oof

but they were both sata & cheap shitty ones

what the hell are you guys doing to your drives?

one was from a dell i forget bran like nvix or something lol

you're sure your system has proper cooling?

the other was some other common shit one

I have a hynix on pre buolt and a samsung 970 on the one I built

i only buy samsung or intel now

hynix was the dell one that died!

i have a 970 evo in my desktop but it's nowhere near as fast as it could be because i have an ancient CPU that can only decrypt 1.2GB/s

mine is acer but yeah'

but yeah SSD is a must with monero

dont even bother trying on hdd

monero, bringing you into the future!!

when i saw the warning i was like "yeah i can wait awhile longer"

days later eta was 100's of year something stupid

i was like UGGH

like i said, i ran mine from an HDD for a year or two. it wasn't pleasant. but it worked. so "don't even bother trying" is a bit strong IMHO

lol

moved to ssd & sync'd right away within hours

that definitely didn't happen for me. it synced in a couple of days tops, probably less

the bigger issue was that every transaction took like 5 minutes to construct

i was running in ubuntu under vm so maybe that was partly why

yeah a couple of years ago you could get by with an HDD but now, well...........

for IBD

knock on wood i have not had issue with any intel or samsung ssd after years & years of 24x7 use

i'm not seeing how 70GB->100GB blockchain size could possibly explain a couple of days->hundreds of years sync time increase.

I had an HDD machine for my monero comp and the HDD dies

the only time I had an HDD die

ubuntu VM doesn't seem like it would be explain it, either, unless you were using some really wacky setup. the default, virtio and qcow2, should work fine

hehe

funny story at my expense, i had like 3 hard drives die within a few months

i was cursing the name western digital and swearing never to buy them again

turns out my case fan was pointed in the wrong direction.

now an HDD sync should be less than a week

fixed that and still using the replacement drives like 13 years later.

never did apologize to WD, though.

so i definitely run a full node on hdd?

shouldnt*

echelon: not unless you are ok with stuff being painfully slow.

well i was running trusty under hyper-v running on 2 slow ass NAS WD HDD's mirrored

oh hyper-v

yeah sorry, all bets are off :P

kek

hehe, did not mean to say that hyper-v is definitely bad.

i think the mirrored nas drives were bigger issue than hyper-v

only that i know nothing about it, and therefore my earlier statement that VM should be fine doesn't apply.

i always mirrored my drives, so i don't think that was it. not sure about those NAS drives though, that could maybe be a factor

dont miss the slow ass NAS drive part :D

yeah

Hey, my blockchain got corrupted because I had some HDD issues. The error is: "Attempt to get block from height 2300155 failed -- block not in db". Tried --db-salvage, didn't help. Can I force re-sync from that specific block height?

i wouldn't advise that, you have no way of knowing if earlier blocks aren't corrupted also.

that being said, if you're just feeling adventurous, you could try the pop_blocks command.

is it huge deal to just sync from start to be sure they're all ok?

Bill48105: yes, it took me one week to sync, at least

I'm on HDD

ndorf: I'll try with pop_block

however, isn't the whole point of blockchain to be fully checksummed/hashed, so corruption should be easily verifiable?

get into 2000's with SSD :D

verifiable if checked

not sure why anyone needs to store entire chain anyway once sync'd.. unless going back to import old keys or verify old transactions. then again depends on age or your inputs in your wallet too to be able to spend

monero-blockchain-import --pop-blocks 500 gives me the same error :/

any other suggestions? at least, until I buy an SSD :D

Hi

I want to build a pool support RandomX for different coin

nice how's that going

I mean I want someone help me in that

Just take the implementation out of a monero miner like XMRRig 🤷‍♂️

done

I am not talking about the miner, setup a pool

You haven't actually asked a question 😕

<Shay> Hey

<Shay> So I have some questions about mining

<Shay> If I get multiple miners pointed to my main wallet daemon, will it put their power together and act as one giant miner with more hashpower or will it act as separate miners with small hashpower individually?

is there a difference?

either you mine a block or you don't

<Shay> How are you guys talking btw

<Shay> Since you're talking through webhooks

<Shay> Is there a live chat website or smth?

irc

Matrix

go to app.element.io, homeserver is monero.social

Are there authorized trezor sellers in the U.S?

I don't want to wait 2 weeks for it to get here 😪

mine took about a week to arrive let me check

yup mine took 4 days after they shipped it

I'd just order from trezor direct

safest that way :P

fluffydonkey

hey guys

thats the one! :D

Yes.

Recursive mining

There are a bunch of transactions in every mempool. The coinbase transaction is part

of the master block header, and is not in the mempool. Each mempool has to a high

degree of percentage the same transactions as every other mempool. The transactions

are the most important elements in this system because without users there is no

system. And without transactions from the users in the system, the miners are less

motivated to mine blocks, because the rewards are less. Transactions with higher fees

should be prefered. So in each mempool the transactions are sorted first in ascending

order by the fees. The second sorting criteria also in ascending order is by the sha 256

hash.

Each miner after finding a block wants to propagate that block in the system with the

minimum information as possible. Let every mempool have the same amount of full

?

wtf?

lol

Mom: "Don't worry, we have moneromoo at home"

The moneromoo at home:

where do we download aeon gui?

or aeon cli

I think they have binaries on their github repo. Try #aeon though.

I connected trezor t, opened it with pin, started steup in gui but im getting an error msg. anyone know whats up with it?

Error writing wallet from hardware device. Check application logs... and on the bottom it says device connect failed

hello

Howdy!

do i have any chance with 4.12 kH/s

i left server almost 5days on this speed and zero until now!

a chance of what?

of having any monero,piconero whatever

femtonero

solo mining

femtonero?

Type "mining_status"

A joke. It doesn't go that low.

At 4120 h/s with network diff of 2.44e+11 your expected time for find a block is 5.93e+07 s or 686.23 days.

Mining at 3.05 kH/s with 31 threads

 0.001254972204 monero daily, 0.038276652245 monero monthly, 0.446770104903 yearly

Wow. Femtomonero would be pretty darned low-value.

So current block reward is ~1.1 monero, so 0.45 yearly means a block every two years on average, about what sech1 got.

It's a lottery. Might be very soon, might be ver ylong.

i have 2 sockets with Opteron  6272

is any command that can better exploit this cpus

  a  assembly miner optimized for this  cpus will help or im  exaggerating

You could run xmrig connected to the daemon. It's better optimized.

good but maybe an assembly miner optimized for this cpu can help

or not?

Probably.

i mean to exploit cpu arch and to play with cpu firmware

cpu firmware destroy cpu capabilities

.balance

fibonacci: • Your balance is: 0 XMR

cpu firmware is not known so is very possible lot of amd,intel firmware programmers are playing with mining

any thoughts?

xmrig already uses assembly optimized code for RandomX and even uses specific instructions availabe only on Opterons: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOP_instruction_set

the truth is, AMD CPUs before Ryzen suck at mining

whereis any good manual on using xmrig with daemon

google has lot of garbage

./xmrig

should auto populate the config

then you just add your pool

solo mining

use xmrig.com/wizard to generate the config, it allows you to choose solo mining to daemon

good thnx

this cpus will better than opteron 6272       "INTEL E7- 4870"

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get Monero added to txstreet.com to show the low fees and the minimal wait time to get your transaction added to a block.

I'm trying to determine the best way to get as close to a real time view of the mempool.

What is the best way to go about doing so?

I'm aware of get_transaction_pool endpoint from the Daemon RPC, but that would require constant polling.

“I thought, ‘I’m going to pump it and dump it,’ because I was interested and taking the ideas and implementing them in bitcoin. The bitcoin code base was far more interesting to me than monero, and I thought, ‘I’m not going to work on this codebase, it’s terrible,'” he recalls - fluffypony in an interview about Monero

anon_ijq28gn: you can use --tx-notify option to run a custom command on new transactions, or use the new ZMQ pubsub interface to be notified

I thought tx-notify is only for new incoming transactions associated with your keys

seems you are right, for some reason i imagined monerod had its own --tx-notify option. however, you can still use ZMQ pubsub

notfy per block isn't fast enough?

it's pretty easy, here's a toy python example: monero-project/monero #6775#issuecomment-679347348

Bill48105: he wants mempool

block-notify wouldn't work either

guess i don't get how mempool works then. guess it's waiting to be block not on last so need notify on broadcast then eh

Bill48105: mempool is the set of transactions that have been relayed, but not yet in a block.

but what i meant was notify on block isn't often enough to check mempool for what he's doing?

notify on block is by definition not checking the mempool.

kek i didn't claim that

if you need it and no notify event poll it

there is a notify event, if you use the zmq pubsub feature

not familiar with that but if so that solves it right

i hope so :)

Yes, I think this solves it. Thank you

anon_ijq28gn: cool. see the ZMQ.md file for more details and options of the pubsub interface

Is anti-fluffypony spam quite common here?

I've noticed it twice lately, and there are huge swaths of time that I wouldn't have noticed if there was more.

anon_ijq28gn: note that this will include confirmed transactions, if they were not previously seen in the mempool, so you will want to filter those out if e.g. you're trying to keep track of the mempool size

ok, and we'll have to make a call to get_transaction_pool, to get more info about the transaction... i.e. tx fee

if you want full details for every tx you can also subscribe to 'full' channel instead of 'minimal'

I've never used pubsub, can you provide more details on what you mean by full channel?

anon_ijq28gn: you will want to read the entire pub/sub section in ZMQ.md. but the short answer is, replace the word 'minimal' with 'full' in my example script, and the notification will include full tx instead of just the id

docs/ZMQ.md that is

gotcha, thank you

i'm running "-o 127.0.0.1:18081 -u --hugepage-size=1280 --asm=auto --cpu-max-threads-hint 100 --daemon"  but is worst than solo mining

what's the best place to see monero mining pools by %age of total hash rate?

makelaz: i don't think your --hugepage-size=1280 makes sense, it's supposed to be the size of one page in KB, not the number of pages

./xmrig -o 127.0.0.1:18081 -u address --coin monero --daemon  even this dont work

by dont work do you just mean lower than expected hashrate, or doesn't work at all?

What the hell happened in the market today?

"status" on monerod gives "no running"

not mining

sorry

that means the daemon is not mining, which is expected because xmrig is mining, not the daemon

xmrig itself should log status including mining hashrate every minute or so

InvestmentOracle: which market?

I guess I should've asked that in monero-markets, but just the USD and BTC markets. Everything kinda took a shit today

seems like a pretty minor/normal pullback to me.

it doesn't go straight up

If mining from a pool monero to the daemon, monerod itself isn't mining, so mining_status says it's not mining. That is expected.

im solo mining but still "not mining"

xmrig now is working because all cpus are 87%

<TheLizardWizard4013> how does Monero encryption work? I guess this is more of an encryption in general question. In general are people better at creating and reinforcing encryption, or breaking encryption algorithms? Like in theory could Monero constantly be ahead of the people trying to crack it?

read up on how ring signatures work and how monero implements them

that should answer your question

ring signatures are only a third (simplifying) of Monero's onchain privacy

hidden amounts and stealth address destinations are key as well

Hey

ndorf: is this info what you were looking for miningpoolstats.stream/monero

I'm struggling trying to build the repo

recipe for target "cmake-release" failed

any monerujo users have a problem where the generated QR codes aren't valid?

They might have a "monero:" prefix ?

hmm, that's a possibility

the only experimentation I've done is I confirmed that the donation QR on the monerujo site works, but if I scan someone else's monerujo QR from within monerujo, it says it's invalid

(and likewise if they scan mine)

at the present moment I don't have another device that could scan to see if it has that prefix
