Which american exchanges?

well, to be fair, if your just coming into crypto and don't know a lot.... its probably not that easy to figure out that monero doesn't use cryptonight.

are you guys gonna support randomx?

my 1920x got around 7kh/s. overall the build was $500-700. Amazon has a deal going for $200 for the 1920x. I probably went overboard with the amount of ram. I thought it needed 2 gb per thread... no, its 2gb per numa node. and 1920x is just 1 node. So you could get away with 8gb to 16 gb prolly.

how do you actually update the softwarE? the web portal says i need to update, but i can't find the config and the helpme in the console don't have it.

Actually, botnets *do* have the best interest of the network at heart. They are profit driven. They need the network to work in order for them to make money. Actually, they don't have any interest in the network, which is the best kind of interest. They want the network to keep working so they can make money.


Oh you mean like the selfish mining that has and will continue to occur on the bitcoin network? Empty blocks anyone? SPV mining? Those were fun.


Bitcoin mining has not been honest and is predicted to devolve into chaos for the chain. , but thats due to a combination of selfish miners and a lack of block reward.


Evolution, exactly. Adapt or die. This is software. Software is free. Hardware is not. Hardware is shackled to the physical, software is free to roam the universe on beams of light. Monero is software. If Monero doesn't adapt it will die, just as bitcoin (in my opinion, obviously not a popular one around these parts, but for some reason people like their dystopian surveillance chain).

And obviously I'm not condoning botnets... I'm just saying that its absurd to cast them as harmful for the network when they are anything but. ASICs on the other hand....

amen. The fact that monero is still making progress give me hope in humanity.  The fact that monero was salvaged from a scam attempt is.... ironic. The fact that bitcoin is plodding towards a dystopian surveillance state with willfully blind participants is... disturbing. Monero *needs* to survive and thrive.

and I speculate bananas.

i friggin hate those things, making me use my cell phone. Are you on IRC?

OK, thanks. And the syntax is 15*15, not 15 + 15 (as i've seen elsewhere with teamredminer)... and i should use 15 and 15, not 16 and 15 (as ive seen elsewhere?).

Also, how long does the autotune take? I assume I should just let it go. But I don't see the timings or volt changing in the minercli thing yet.

hrm, well my rig has 2 vega64 and 2 vega56. As far as I can tell, there's no way to assign these commands to individual GPUs

I can't figure out if my rig is auto tuning. I have the smart tune box checked and the algorithm set to cryptonight, but my monero hashrate numbers aren't changing.

is the smart tune for cryptonight, and not cn/r? Do I need to manually overclock for cn/r ?

whales are the only thing that moves the price of any cryptocurrency. These markets are razor thin in comparison to actual markets.

i don't think that was said... i think the point was that once monero gets second layer solutions, the first layer can scale to meet whatever demand is placed upon it by the second layer due to the adaptive blocksize.

because of the blocksize. 

Am I reading this whole BAKKT thing right? 

> Formed with the purpose of bringing trust, efficiency and commerce to digital assets, Bakkt seeks to develop open technology to connect existing market and merchant infrastructure to the blockchain.

Its hilarious. Bringing trust to trustless assets. Bringing efficiency to the most efficient form of money that exists. Perhaps the only thing it could bring is commerce.

Much like a lot of other malarkey I read, this just seems to be another "Dinosaurs try to build something so they can work with new technology".

Whats even more hilarious is that these things (monero, bitcoin) are *incredibly* easy to use at the personal level. Its just when you get the institutions involved that things get really complicated.

yeah, thats the fundamental concept of transaction fees set out in the bitcoin whitepaper

in bitcoin, yeah, there is now a 1 mb block size limit, and in general the incentive to keep it that way is to create a fee market. If you want to get into the next 1 MB block, then your gonna pay for it.

The dynamic blocksize in Monero has a cost - it uses more real world resources to process larger and larger blocksizes. Therefore, the monero protocol puts a throttle on this adaptation - if a miner wants to create a block that is greater than the median of the past 100 blocks, the miner has to sacrifice some of the block reward. So say the block reward is 3 XMR. If the miner goes over 20% in size, the block reward is reduced to something like, i dunno, 2.7 XMR. I forget the exact numbers. So the miner has to choose transactions that have enough fees that would push the total reward over 3 XMR even with the penalty.

Now, when monero finishes its primary emission, it has a tail emission. 0.6 XMR per block ( or 0.3 XMR per block minute, to keep in mind the case that we increase blocktime targets for whatever reason again). This tail emission keeps in place the ability to penalize blocksize expansion. Otherwise, if there's no way to penalize blocksize increases, miners would just grow the blocksize to get more fees.

So, IMO, its not really a BTC codebase issue, its a social covenant issue - that being that bitcion will only ever have 21 million coins. Its easy to put a tail emission in bitcoin code and make an adaptive blocksize possible.

Now, there are some that have conjectured that one could eat into the fees in the absence of a tail emission. I think the math on this doesn't work out, or it may screw with the game theory incentives. In any case, tail emission also provides continued and guaranteed rewards for mining, so it has the nice benefit of providing security to the blockchain regarding immutability in the long future. Not a single cryptocurrency exists today that is secured by a fee market. Granted, 15 years ago, not a single cryptocurrency existed. Bitcoin is a grand experiment to see if a cryptocurrency network ( a new form of money ) can be bootstrapped. Thats phase 1. Phase 2, the existence of that network / money with only network fees, in the absence of any bootstrapping, is still an experiment that has not been performed. 

Basically, the blockreward can be seen like a set of training wheels that keeps bitcoin up and running.

Long ago it was decided that Monero would take an alternative route, wherein having those wheels available to prevent the bicycle from falling over is good, and the tradeoff of having an infinite supply of monero is acceptable.

Tiny wheels, tiny infinity.

same thing will happen that happened during the last stock market dip - crypto traders cash out in order to buy the stock market low, causing crypto to crash as well.

at least thats what I remember happening last time.

Invest in bananas is good for monero because all of the developers have a community that the investors expect to further strengthen.

The smart investor this season will always divest from arbitrage-free capital adequacy requirements.

Mezzanine stocks: in the high frequency trading exchange, never insulate them.

In credit-linked markets, be sure to underwrite senior-rated securities.

Are you on 0.12.3?

Also, what kind of RPC calls are you sending the daemon?

You could try the new 0MQ stuff that was recently worked into the daemon.
