00:08:45 Today, I learned that the potential bandwidth usage per month for running a Monero node is ridiculously outside the realm of my comfort zone. The "several terabytes" cited in "How to Run a Monero Node" might be more than my ISP will allow. 00:12:08 you can limit your node bandwidth limits and also how many in / out connections you make 00:13:19 also a normal pruned node does not use several terabyte 00:13:58 just checked one of my nodes, 100GB used in half a month 00:15:09 I used 50GB in the past 30 days but I don't keep the node running 24/7. 00:21:33 I should check how much slack we have in our ISP connection for that. 00:22:00 Is most of that data usage from seeding? 00:22:48 several terabytes seems way more than i'd expect 00:23:21 It was certainly a lot more than I expected. 00:23:58 public node or just for you? 00:24:40 I guess just for me, given the potential for terabytes of data usage in a month. 00:24:52 are they talking about public RPC? 00:24:58 I have no idea. 00:25:02 https://www.monero.how/how-to-run-monero-node 00:25:05 end of the second paragraph 00:25:10 with RPC open to the public, i could perhaps imagine that. 00:25:32 here's the stats from my node, with no RPC, no bandwidth limits, on a 100Mb connection: https://imgur.com/a/64bBiAp 00:26:47 i guess that's 1.325TB in a month? 531.1 * 3600 * 24 * 31 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 00:27:43 my home node (where i am subject to comcast's iron fisted rule) uses a 100KB/s upload limit, and i think less than 200GB/month, not 100% sure 00:29:08 I have choice of 2 services and luckily neither is comcast, both have no data cap 00:29:23 Yeah, over 1TB was my back-of-the-envelope calculation. 00:29:44 yeah, the providers in NYC were much better than comcast. probably the fact that you have a choice of more than 1 of them has something to do with it 00:30:00 There's only one here. 00:30:04 comcast didn't have a data cap when i moved here, they announced it literally 2 weeks after google announced they were stopping their fiber rollout 00:30:13 lol 00:30:29 apotheon: in any case, the node works perfectly fine with 100KB/s upload limit, probably even less (haven't tried) 00:30:33 Even better, Comcast likes to pretend it doesn't have a cap even when it does. 00:30:58 ndorf: Yeah, but close to 1.5TB seems like it'd cause issues. 00:31:06 most of the towns around me have gigabit fiber, either through google or utopia (a public-private partnership). mine decided to spend the money on a soccer stadium instead 00:31:14 We both work from home here, so we use a lot of bandwidth for that, plus there's entertainment and so on. 00:31:21 apotheon: right but it can't use more than 240GB or so with a 100KB limit 00:31:41 ah 00:31:42 hmm 00:31:56 if that's not good enough you could always try an even lower limit. 100KB is sufficient to keep me well under my datacap though 00:32:13 I just need to figure out my cap. 00:32:25 ugh 00:32:36 Comcast research is not my idea of fun. 00:32:44 if you're on comcast it's probably 1.2TB/mo 00:35:06 just in case it wasn't clear, the stats graph i posted is from another node, with no bandwidth limits, not the one at home 00:36:41 just to illustrate the most you'd expect with no limits 00:41:52 righto 00:43:25 you can use the `limit_up` command to change this limit without restarting monerod 00:44:10 then the --limit-rate-up parameter to have it effective on startup 00:44:37 (don't think you need or want to limit the download bandwidth, but there are similar options for that) 00:48:19 ndorf: Thanks for the info. 00:48:28 you got it 00:50:31 Now I just need to see if I can build monero-cli and monerod on my systems. 00:52:09 should be straightforward 02:00:10 Hey ,i just monero, but the wallet address looks wrong. i got 0 confirnmations atm, any chance of canceling transfer? 02:00:45 Hold up looks fine. No probs. 03:28:33 Did you know that all witdraw-buyer-seller-depoist chains are trackable in Monero? No? You should have read Breaking Monero. How many people are you endangering with your 'privacy' coin? 03:31:50 zero 04:35:54 Just to let everyone know that I have created a Twitter profile under @ArticMineCA 04:42:21 why 04:42:42 Security 04:44:15 Make sure members of the community know what my handle on Twitter is 04:44:31 i use mastodon instead 04:45:58 I need to look into mastodon 08:38:33 how big are your pruned blockchains? 08:42:27 About 30 GB 08:57:29 still pruning mine, its at 31 on my lenovo t500 with an hdd 09:06:47 ~33 GB here. 09:11:12 sssb54, it'll be the same size on an ssd 09:11:17 :D 09:14:15 You mean, from heavy data disk to slim size disk, and it doesn't shrink ? WTF. 09:18:27 crazy right? 09:25:20 yeah its been 7 days of importing the .raw file and pruning on my lenovo t500 with an hdd 09:27:19 ouch... 09:27:44 Pruning an already synced (or mostly synced) chain is very slow. 09:36:53 with xmrig gcc version of windows i get read error: "end of file" 09:37:04 xmrig 6.10 09:38:04 Check you're connecting to the right host/port, no firewall or the like. 10:17:13 Remember kids. If you call project coral reef for what it is - fluffypony embezzling half a mil usd from the monero fund for a website with smaller adoption than monero woo plugin, you will get excommunicated. Why do you think charities need Teslas? They don't and Elon won't support Monero 150k will sure buy a lot of party time for those that actually do get it. 10:28:19 oh man... SerHack... now even a swipe at the woo plugin 10:28:22 how offensive 10:28:51 Who is this idiot? 10:29:14 lol it's not the first time 10:29:14 nobody knows for sure 10:29:31 but at least I got mentioned, thnx random guy! 10:29:36 hahahaha 11:20:45 Hello all 11:21:04 Guys, i am using Monero GUI wallet on Linux, when i keep it open for awhile its close with itself 11:21:14 i see monerod running on background 11:21:17 is it a normal behavior ? 11:22:19 Can you rephrase "when i keep it open for awhile its close with itself" ? 11:25:36 do you mean crashing or just locking itself? 11:26:53 means crashing 11:27:02 or lets say disappear 11:27:12 i can see the monerod running in background 11:29:35 certainly not normal behavior. if you start it from a terminal you should get some kind of crash message 11:35:35 ok 11:35:47 when i start it again, its trying to reconnect to the dameon 11:35:53 but seems its kill / start the dameon 11:35:57 as i find its PID change 11:49:25 what if i just started the daemon 11:49:45 directly without opening the wallet GUI 11:50:02 is it going to completed the synchronization ? 11:50:20 yes, and the gui should detect it running and connect when you start it later 11:50:46 ok 11:51:05 btw i start it using ./monero-wallet-gui 11:51:21 not /monero-wallet-gui.AppImage 11:51:36 me too 11:51:51 when i start the gui later it does not detect the daemon it seems it kill/start it 11:52:04 ah i get this: 11:52:05 Forking to background 11:52:08 ! 11:52:34 Traveller37: are you using simple mode? 11:52:53 Nope 11:53:09 can you start the gui with gdb and get a crash log? 11:54:28 okay 11:54:31 but it could take awhile 11:54:41 as it usually do this behavior after half an hour or so 11:55:10 i would like to ask about backup 11:55:26 after finish synchronization 11:55:37 may i take a back of the whole system and keep it somewhere ? 11:56:23 or i just need to the keys, and start download the transaction ? 11:57:50 you can make a backup of the blockchain and move it to a different system 11:58:03 you can also backup the keys 11:58:14 the keys are in your wallet file. which can be restored with your seed phrase 12:14:25 seed phrase is the one i received when i created the keys right? 12:14:44 yes, 24 words 12:15:37 which you wrote down and stored safely in a different location :) 12:16:03 lol yes 12:17:45 so its enough to copy the keys, along side with the password 12:17:49 and i can rebuild the wallet 12:18:07 and if i want to save the downloading time, i should copy the blockchain folder as well 12:18:42 Sorry for asking a lot 12:19:19 the wallet just holds the keys. the wallet can be restored through the seed words or can be copied 12:19:27 also my question could be more specific like this: 12:19:27 If i got a copy of blockchain offline for a month or so, the wallet can use it as base and complete it, or there is a point where i will need to startover from beginning ? 12:19:46 You can simply keep an old month copy and use that, if needed 12:21:51 Thank you all 12:24:17 Traveller37: and you can have the blockchain locally (full node). resume from a previous copy. that's the same as if you would start it after some days. it just resumes 12:35:55 charolastra this is what i did 12:36:09 but i was not sure if it will always resume, or there is an out of date point which require full new download 12:36:33 Never is, unless bug. 12:36:51 okay, thanks guys 12:36:56 should be fine. i've left it sitting for years a few times and it just resumed 12:37:28 just make sure you're using the up to date versions of the software and don't resume with the old software 12:37:29 Well, I suppose in the future there might be a massive DB format change for which adding migration code would be too hairy... Hasn't happened so far though. 16:18:49 Do you also secretly wisth your mother was Howard's groupie? https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/bxl87y/it_has_been_a_5_years_since_monero_was_released/eq7qior/ 16:21:37 My mother IS one of Howard's groupies. 16:22:30 nice 16:22:58 I wisth you the best Howard. 18:27:50 what is the benefit of a ledger nano 18:31:19 Keeping your secret spend key off your potentially pwned hardware. 18:32:15 can ledger get pwned 18:32:26 e.g. pwn itself by failing 18:33:18 Probably. 18:34:07 then wtf do you do in that case 18:34:37 Buy another. 18:38:10 what happens to your bitcoins 18:38:15 on the ledger 18:38:52 If you did not have a copy of your keys, they are inaccessible. 18:39:14 eek! 18:39:19 Trezor FTW 18:39:25 ok so ledgers suck i guess 18:39:26 ledger is piss - i have both 18:39:26 peanut butter jelly time! 18:39:31 trezor is open source 18:39:38 you can downgrade/upgrade it all you want 18:39:48 ledger is closed source if you upgrade, and it breaks something your screwed. 18:39:53 not downgradeable 18:41:03 https://safu.ninja/ 18:41:10 ^I use a multi-sig for my Trezor 18:41:21 I have 4 seeds - and require any 3 to 'restore' my trezor 18:41:37 so i can give 2 to my mom/dad and one to each brother etc for example 18:41:53 no one can access my funds without consent from another family member 18:42:07 if my family member gets robbed, they arent liable for my funds as they only have 1 seed etc 18:42:31 Except if they get robbed by another ^_^ 18:43:06 well if one gets robbed ill be switching my wallet anyways lol 18:43:36 I'd seen this story about a (legal) safe breaker who got in a home to break a safe. Had checked the client's id and address. Turns out it was the son trying to rob his father while he was away :D 18:44:15 yeah for sure, definitely dont do that if you cant trust the people you are providing a seed to 18:44:22 you can also use multiple safety deposit boxes etc.. 18:46:12 & you can password protect an account with trezor so even if they did restore it, they still wouldnt have access 19:03:37 Moneroship[m], what if someone tied your mother to a chair and hit her with a $5 wrench until she got on the phone with the rest of the people that had the keys and convinced them to give them up. 19:04:12 again then use a safety deposit box if your seriously that paranoid 19:04:30 you can use multiple banks. 19:05:00 and buy your mother a gun so that such scenarios don't happen 19:05:08 she has many 19:05:09 lol 19:05:10 Oh nice charolastra 19:05:13 goodluck 19:05:54 /note ADD Make sure there are no gunes. 19:05:57 oops 19:07:21 i think your better off stealing crypto on the internet xD 19:07:48 Lots of people carry cash too. 19:08:04 or a debit card 19:08:37 everyone who is stealing cash or debit cards has no idea about crypto nor are they capable of creating such a coordinated attack against multiple people across multiple states. 19:08:48 so idk what were talking about 19:09:11 your arguing against the most secure way to store crypto 19:09:14 lmao 19:10:24 legit #1 safest way to store crypto = multi sig 19:11:10 Nope. Safest is to have > 51% of the chain. 19:11:34 that makes no sense 19:11:43 locked_transfer
100000 19:11:59 Safe that it can't be moved for 100k blocks 19:12:42 locked_transfer
100000 19:12:50 sorry... forgot the amount 19:12:56 and how do you secure that address? 19:12:58 multi-sig... 19:12:59 >.> 19:13:01 <.< 19:13:20 am i new to crypto? lol is it me? 19:13:30 Multi sig isn't the safest, you just need 2 people to conspire to take it. 19:13:38 19:04 < Moneroship[m]> again then use a safety deposit box if your seriously that paranoid 19:13:46 Those are subject to things like warrants. 19:13:56 just hold your crypto on exchanges :3 19:13:59 With a locked transfer it's network enforced. 19:14:39 the address where you locked the transfer????? 19:14:54 So even if the two people conspired together it'd be impossible to take it until it was unlocked. 19:14:54 you still cant argue there is a more secure way to secure your wallet that doesnt involve multi-sig 19:15:16 but they stole the seeds with a 5$ wrench remember 19:15:19 you dont have them anymore? 19:15:43 tattoo your seed on the inside of you lips 19:15:57 I'm more concerned with securing myself than the wallet. The wallet only holds value for me if I'm still here to use it. 19:16:07 they'll steal your multi sig info with a wrench as well 19:16:17 tattoo them around the opening of your prison purse shillo 19:16:23 yeah but id rather my family have access to it in the event that something happens to me 19:16:28 Mochi102: u mean the inside sir 19:16:34 owch 19:16:37 but its harder to steal 4 seeds than it is to steal 1 19:16:39 thats the point 19:16:43 no matter what your 'plan of attack is' 19:16:54 there is still no way that is more secure than a multi-sig 19:16:56 ..... 19:16:57 not really, with the wrench that is 19:17:14 you need to drive to 3 different states for mine lol 19:17:24 use wrench to get seed, test it, it doesn't work? use wrench more forcefully 19:17:45 What if you give 12 word of your seed to 25 people and the order of the seed to another Moneroship[m] ? 19:17:46 stupid af 19:17:58 er 1 word of your seed to 1 person 19:18:12 then you require every party to participate 19:18:40 just store your seed on a google doc 19:18:41 andd you can do the same thing with multi-sig 19:18:44 When someone is beating your mother on the other end of a phone call... 19:18:48 literally ..... thers nothing more secure than multi-sig lol 19:19:05 ak47 more secure than multisig sir 19:19:28 so you keep your savings in an exchange? 19:19:32 or you have the keys to your wallet? 19:19:45 I store my savings in USD 19:19:56 at BofA 19:20:00 I'm the second poorest guy in Europe. 19:21:09 go beat someones mother for a seed 19:21:30 Please don't tell me how to live my life. 19:21:38 see if it works and if the cops dont show up before you get it out of her lol 19:21:49 see if you get shot 19:22:30 You must have a lot of XMR to put your mother in such risk Moneroship[m] 19:22:32 whats more secure than 1 seed w/ an ak47? 19:22:32 4 seeds in 4 states with 4 ak47s. 19:23:01 ok im just not a dumbass thats going to lose access to my shit if my house burns down lol 19:23:19 I lose everything if my house burns down 19:23:29 exactly dumbass 19:23:30 except my money.

At least pick a less awful bank. 19:25:51 Literally throw it into an encrypted truecrypt container and email it to yourself Moneroship[m] 19:25:57 your the one that is paranoid enough to believe a thief with a wrench will go across multiple states to find a multi-sig lmao 19:26:05 apotheon: https://www.joeydevilla.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/grumpy-cat-no.jpg 19:26:34 shillo: I don't understand the desire to punish yourself. 19:26:42 i dont think its paranoid to be responsible with my assets in the event i die my family has access. 19:26:52 I stay the hell away from shitshows like BofA, Chase, and WU. 19:26:55 shillo, what's wrong with Wells Fargo? 19:26:57 err, sorry, not WU 19:27:00 umm 19:27:04 Idk why the hell thats being 'paranoid' but being scared of a guy with a wrench isnt paranoid? 19:27:05 what's it called again 19:27:07 Mochi102: :) 19:27:14 There's definitely a W in that bank name. 19:27:22 Oh, Wells Fargo. 19:27:22 Wells Fargo? 19:27:29 Yeah, that's the other huge-evil bank. 19:27:37 Thanks. 19:27:37 They're awesome to me. 19:27:49 HSBC bretty gud 19:27:57 Mochi102: It's a matter of luck. 19:28:09 never ask me questions when I bring in lots of cash 19:28:36 Nah... apotheon... probably depends on your account balance a bit. 19:28:59 I have a pretty good bank account balance. 19:29:07 and how long you've been a customer. 19:29:13 apotheon, how much? 19:29:20 not planning to share that 19:29:26 why not an online bank? 19:29:35 multiples of average savings in the US 19:29:35 Come on, I have my $5 ready apotheon 19:29:46 not really keen to share even orders of magnitude 19:29:51 apotheon, what's even the average savings in the USA? 19:30:00 whats the average savings in usa? like $1k? 19:30:20 $5 19:30:29 lol 19:30:41 41K, evidently 19:30:47 median is 5Kish 19:30:57 source? 19:31:22 So you're rich like fluffypony then apotheon ? 19:31:36 probably not that wealthy 19:31:40 How many $400k watches do you have? 19:31:56 I don't know fluffypony's numbers, though. 19:31:58 Mochi102: zero 19:32:23 I have a 100ish USD watch, because I don't need ostentation. 19:32:34 I don't even own a watch. 19:32:40 That's how poor I am. 19:32:43 time is evil 19:32:49 I also do not have a watch 19:32:49 I'd guess fluffypony's numbers are outstanding. 19:33:19 Mochi102: You could get a nine dollar watch. I have one on the handlebar of a motorcycle because it's cheaper than buying a motorcycle-specific chronometer. 19:33:24 i don't need a watch. that's how rich i am :p 19:33:45 The nine dollar watch is, of course, a wristwatch. 19:34:54 I have no idea about anybody... the watch is up there with the boating accident meme. 19:35:53 Anyways... 19:37:07 I'm beginning to suspect Mochi102 has more money than me. 19:37:22 kek 19:37:29 watches are for poor ppl to feel good about the money they have tbh 19:37:30 didn't even buy a watch 19:37:48 nah...

Le gasp. 19:40:09 apotheon: I live in a place where time changes do not exist :) 19:40:09 shillo: Does that work when you have to deal with gub'mint? 19:40:15 shillo: lucky you 19:40:19 Where do you live? 19:40:26 saskatchewan 19:40:29 ah 19:40:33 definite trade-off 19:40:54 There are benefits to living in SK though. 19:40:55 winter is almost over and its getting to be above freezing during the day now :( 19:40:56 I'm leaning toward Montana, though it, too, has DST, unfortunately. 19:41:22 Saskatchewan is so flat that if your dog runs away you can sit on your portch and watch it for 3 days. 19:41:31 porch 19:41:36 montana is prob where I'd live if I had to move to the states 19:41:40 or alaska 19:42:00 AK is nice... but getting in and out is a major pain. 19:42:07 . . . depending on how much you'd want to have the coast near you? 19:42:08 in your porsche* 19:42:28 moneromooo, :) 19:43:39 The Porsche would be good for Montana. 19:43:54 There's kind of a culture of "it ain't none of your business how fast I go on an empty road". 19:43:55 moneromooo, you never share which country you're in hey? 19:45:20 Oh I do. Just not with y'all :P 19:45:28 hahaha 19:45:41 y'all... so American. 19:45:46 :P 19:46:46 moneromooo: Thanks for spelling that correctly. 19:47:07 y'all? 19:47:13 yep 19:47:41 It kinda bugs me when people spell it incorrectly. 20:46:37 I'm guessing you're not from Alabama apotheon 20:46:42 it's spelled ya'll 20:47:02 [which makes no sense, but I swear that's the more common spelling there] 20:47:38 rupee[m]: That's more about the people than the language. 20:47:53 (having been to Alabama) 20:48:16 Where in the US do people marry their own relatives more often than Abalama? 20:48:28 Mississippi of course 20:49:20 Mississippians would say Lousiana. It's always one state to the left 20:49:28 har 20:50:01 This is not making a great case for people in Abalama knowing how to spell. 20:50:52 lolol 20:51:51 got an email today with monero spelled as minero twice. Don't think i'd seen that one before 20:52:20 monroe, montero, morono, romero, but never minero 21:04:23 Maybe someone's just used to typing "miner". 21:24:31 Hello world 21:26:04 hi 22:38:34 Why does the Saviour of NASA take a group achievement award and present it as a proof of individual glory? https://twitter.com/hyc_symas/status/1203709575226183683 22:40:22 because its fun and hilarious
