So I've run the daemon the other day to sync it after a long time (months) and it kept getting visited by the OOM killer. I had 2 GB ram on that machine and after increasing to 4GB that stopped.
What is the current minimum amount of ram necessary for monerod these days?

It is over 2 GB for sure, but if you have SSD at least can probably get away with swap on ssd

It’s good to see this project is still alive, though it remains drastically undervalued. The world is becoming more and more totalitarian and anti-privacy. It remains to be seen whether that will be good or bad for Monero. Interesting times!

Do I have any say whether I want it to sync or not?

You have to sync the node to make transactions, am I right?
If you use a laptop and can't leave it running 24/7, just turn the node on when you use the laptop.
You probably use your laptop every day anyway.
I used to run a monero node on a laptop, which I couldn't leave on all the time.
Synced whenever I could, which was almost every day.

Welcome to new pool:

PROP, SOLO, GROUP - 1% fee

I advise everyone to stay away from your pool.

You have no reputation in the XMR community, and for other coins, the few things I've found with a quick Google search are not giving me confidence to use your services. For example:

Hi, the pool in question is a scam, and even I took the miner's device out of the pool and turned it off. The amount of my account income decreases every moment. I need to know that all the users of this pool are unreal.

Quote

i mined 3 days on aikapool , i can see my shares but no confirmed balance , tried to contact them but never could send an email ... so disappointing

Many others but too lazy to continue to quote them.
Some comments were posted 3 years ago, some 1 year ago, so either your are just a scam, or you are honnest but inefficient to propose mining pool services.

This is probably why all your pools have 1 or 0 active workers: https://aikapool.com/

In the shadow of the delisting, an interesting phenomenon has emerged within the Monero community. Rather than viewing this event with disdain, the community has embraced it as an opportunity to emphasise and celebrate Monero’s true purpose: facilitating private peer-to-peer transactions. Monero proponents claim that Monero successfully delisted Binance, not the other way around. This reaction underscores a profound commitment to uncompromising privacy, resilience, and antifragility, qualities that are deeply embedded in the ethos of Monero’s supporters. The delisting event has, paradoxically, served to reinforce the community’s dedication to privacy and financial sovereignty, principles that Monero stands for.

Does monero node take up a lot of space on hard disk?

Not a real lot. Currently ~64GB

Expecting this to climb though, I feel a huge wave of adoption could be on the horizon.

From what I can understand, Monero has dynamic block sizes so it'll only take up as much space as it needs to.

You can get pretty good (almost certainly good enough) privacy without running a node, just using feather wallet (or another) and connecting to a node over tor.

Wouldn't the same apply for Exodus or Electrum over tor?

Quote from: jwinterm on March 02, 2024, 05:24:23 AM

If you do run your own node, you can just turn it on as necessary, but it might take significant time to sync depending on your CPU and Internet.

Do I have any say whether I want it to sync or not?

Running your own node is best for privacy, and if you do leave it on it helps strengthen the network.

If I decide to leave it on 24/7 is that with or without tor?

Re: exodus or electrum - yes but no. For electrum versus feather, xmr offers a lot of inherent privacy features compared to btc. For exodus theoretically I guess using xmr with tor proxy or whatever is same maybe, but exodus is a closed source wallet so you really can't know what's going on in there.

It syncs when you turn it on. It's not really a big deal, takes a few min to few hours. If you leave computer on with node running it stays synced.

You can direct network/block traffic and/or wallet/tx traffic over tor. I think commonly blocks are handled over clear net and txs broadcast via tor.

From what I gathered it's best if you want privacy to set yourself up as a node is that right?
Does the node have to be operating all the time if you set one up on your computer?
Can you just switch it on when you need to send/receive and then switch it back off easily?
Does it take up a lot of space of resources back and forth?

You don't have to have a node because the official site says

"running the official Monero GUI, it will prompt you to run the daemon locally by default. This is the same as running a full node."

Bit confused which way I should go? If Monero GUI alone will give me same same privacy as node then why bother with node?

I think Monero is a pretty good buy. It being delisted seems to be a testament to its value

Theory: now that Binance has delisted Monero, XMR price will slowly recover.

My impression is that it was Binance customers unable or unwilling to withdraw (and thus having sold their XMR) and/or panic selling on other CEXes what drove the price down, not a general change in the demand/supply equation. If you look at Exch for example, the demand for XMR there is so high that they charge 5% fees for several weeks now, but they have stated that their reserves still get exhausted fastly.

The dump on February 19 should have been the last significant one, caused probably by the last wave or Binance customers having sold their XMR.

I do not think that this is a theory, i think this is what really happened. Let's see in mid of march where we stand Grin
