I responded to MoneroMooo on the wallet refresh issue in the other thread.

Is "some wallet refresh performance work" something that you want to finish optimizing before 0.9 is tagged and released?

I'm done with it for now. I'd seen someone mentioning it was slow, so I had a look. It doesn't look particularly slow here, but it might be because I'm on a SSD. We'll see what people think.


It took me about 7 min to refresh a wallet that was 100,000 blocks behind on a 2 TB HDD. So I can see why this could be an issue for someone to has an old HDD hard drive say about 200 GB since HDD seek time for a given spin rotation basically falls with size. I would expect about 70 min for a 200 GB HDD to refresh 100,000 blocks. Still I would not hold up 0.9 over this since there are simple fixes for a user.

1) Get an SSD or a large HDD.
2) Refresh the wallet on a regular basis rather than wait a few months as I just did.

Refreshing my simplewallet to the daemon has never taken more than a few seconds (depending upon how many blocks it was refreshing).

Never took insane amounts of time.

The downloading/syncing of the entire history of blocks with the network takes some time but that is bandwidth dependent.

The refresh command with simple wallet is purely based on your local hardware specs and the 0.9 code.

No problems here.

Update:

Thanks to the folks at Let's Encrypt, Moneroaddress.org now has a SSL certificate!

https://moneroaddress.org

Enjoy!

Oh, are they giving out to anyone now, or did you sign up for early access or something?

I signed up for an early beta a few months ago, which is still open here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15Ucm4A20y2rf9gySCTXD6yoLG6Tba7AwYgglV7CKHmM/viewform?c=0&w=1

According to their site, on December 3rd the site will open up to anyone that wants one.

That is a good project. Soon there will not an an excuse for any website not to have a SSL certificate

what kind of bot do you use? selfmade or bought?

thank you

I wrote it, I'm definitely no pro but I like python so that's what it is written in. Have it running on a couple cryptos. I get too trigger happy when trying to trade, but the bots do their work well. The best thing they can do is have patience for days, just adjusting buy / sell orders even if market is flat... which I am not personally capable of. The idea is that when I have generalized it enough that it can be deployed in a new market with new api really easily, then start creeping into stocks and other assets, and profits will likely go mostly to XMR because I love it so much. I can set the bot to do liquidity providing, but to keep a certain percent of x currency in the process, or sell off at whatever percentage or haste.

Right now the one in XMR is buying and selling, but stashing away profits in mostly XMR. It's a lot of fun, and zero maintenance once deployed. My aim is within a year or so have an LLC funneling say... 300 bots running on all types of world markets. Hopefully I'll be rich like Dan Bilzerian before the world figures out how much it needs XMR so I can bump up a few notches in the food chain. If not then I'll have learned a pretty valuable skill set. Have a ways to go but its good fun and definitely profitable. Learning some good python and stock indicator forumulas in the process. Idle hands are the devils playground so its been doing a good job of keeping me busy and out of trouble.

Hi guys trying to download the blockchain with the 0.9 beta wallet (using this due to importing old wallet doesn't work on older versions)

WTF is this ?



What is the command you used here ?

If you did not use funky options: Go to wherever your blockchain is. There should be a lmdb directory. Rename it to lmdb2. Retry. It could be it's corrupted.


Thanks, seems to have done the trick but the blockchain has started from zero again Sad . I used set_log 0 to be honest.

I downloaded an update to the free version of Malwarebytes which includes 2 weeks of "real-time protection" which is on the paid version.  I just noticed it blocked 2 incoming things to bitmonerod which seems to be running fine.  I just started the daemon a short while ago to check wallet refresh rates.  I had the daemon running for a few hours yesterday and noticed it blocked incoming to the daemon ~20 times from 2 different IPs.

I ran into the same issues a while ago, not sure why Malwarebytes is blocking IPs. Could be that it are IPs from blacklisted VPNs or Tor IPs.

Also, if anyone is interested in the commits from smooth nioc mentioned:

Some other updates from Shen (NobleSir) wrt Monero CT:

edit 11/4/2015: rough outline to completion- probably have time to finish missing parts of the above draft within the next week or so, then over the next month or so hopefully clean it up for a ledger submission, code it in python, create C++ test suite, and finally code into the c++. I have a bit of unrelated (but important to me) research I am working on, so that is what has been taking my time since the original posting.

I just refreshed 2 of my wallets.  The first was 12 hours behind and took 2 seconds to refresh.
The second was 648 hours, that is 27 days behind.  I timed it by counting to myself but it seems that it took just over 2 minutes to refresh.

This is an issue?


I see on GitHub this morning that smooth has added more work to the 2min blocks and the 60 kbyte thing.
It seems every day we cut the time to the 0.9 release in half Grin Grin

hello world
Still here, bot has loved the upward motions, and done just as well on the downward motions. Going to sit on my pile of XMR and not touch, but set up bots in other markets, and perhaps tweak bot to set aside profits in form of xmr. They seem to handle bordom, dumps, and pumps just fine. Time to stick my "liquidity providers" in as many markets as i can manage, perhaps divert profits towards MRO. I think the FTSE and my bots are a match made in heaven. Slow buy preasure incoming. Dump low, give the devs a chance to snag up cheap before .9, they deserve it. Just dont get caught with your pants down late to party.

I would like to hear more feedback about the subject of this thread:
https://forum.getmonero.org/6/ideas/2392/privately-donate-to-privacy-oriented-services

With 0.9 coming soon it is time we give more attention to getting more privacy oriented services involved with Monero.

As menetioned above in the thread,

New version indeed consumes less memory but refreshing the wallet is much much slower.

I know fluffypony mentioned on IRC one time that some serious effort needs to be put into making that fast.

So as you can see, Fluffypony has encountered severe fundamental problems with developing v. 0.9, and because exactly this reason he can not release v. 0.9 officially. I am afraid he never can. Sad Fluffypony, refute me please, I wanna be wrong.


jeeeez.


optimizing wallet refreshes is not critical to 0.9 release AFAIK.
0.9 is our hardfork man. We don't want this to be buggy.  So cool your jets.
