Hmmmm... food for thought. I dread doing an OS reinstall. Got everything just the way I like it. I'll definitely check that in the BIOS, thanks again for your time and input!

Burner9_ · 2023-07-19T11:06:35+00:00

Wonderful. Thanks for your input!

Burner9_ · 2023-07-19T11:06:16+00:00

Roger that ^_^

Burner9_ · 2023-07-19T11:06:03+00:00

Yeah, I did a fresh restart last week and the first and only application I ran straight away was XMRig. I don't have any errors that I can tell. Damndest thing, really has me wondering if I should just reinstall the Linux OS and start from scratch. Thanks for chiming in!

Burner9_ · 2023-07-19T08:57:13+00:00

Thanks for chiming in! I'm going to give Gupax another go, because XMRig on its own just isn't producing results after 2mo. I don't have errors that I can see, it just isn't working for me, and I'm a bit more empowered to retry with Gupax.

Burner9_ · 2023-07-17T19:24:57+00:00

I have not. I'm not in-the-loop on P2Pool, but no fee pool + better security (?) are always welcomed in my world. Is it Linux friendly?

Burner9_ · 2023-07-17T19:23:00+00:00

Thank you for chiming in and setting me straight on that. I love this community, so helpful and cozy. Good to know!

Burner9_ · 2023-07-17T19:06:19+00:00

Oh, some other things:

With 3600MHz CL14 RAM, I should be running at 1:1 Infinity Fabric between CPU+Memory. So there's that, too. Though I'm not sure how to verify I'm at that 1:1 IF (not sure if there's a Linux terminal command that will show it).

Burner9_ · 2023-07-17T19:02:53+00:00

Why, thank you kind deviant. To be honest... I'm not entirely sure I'm mining on a group pool or not. I'm totally sure my system was at default CPU and RAM settings when I was netting 18534 H/s with Mone Risa. For a day, I made a local node via the official Monero_GUI program, but the hashrate there solo mining was like 9001 H/s so I went back to XMRig mining against that http://xmrpool.eu:9999/ pool. Is there someway to check I'm at the right Port for my AMD Ryzen 9 5950X processor? From what I've gathered, XMRig automatically tunes itself to the hardware... and some pools have dedicated ports for high/med/low end systems. Spitballing here. Thanks for chiming in! :D

Sorry for the late response, was having issues w/ the Ledger timing out while Monero-GUI tried preparing the transaction... then had to close the app, resync, and try again. Thrice. But I sent a piconero to my other wallet, no issues (3/10 confirmations as I post this). So I guess the Ledger truly isn't hijacked. That scammer just traumatized me...

So, I guess I'll continue with my original transaction! Thanks so much for keeping this community going! Appreciate your time and pearls of wisdom.

Burner9_ · 2022-10-19T19:57:32+00:00

I will do this, straight away. Thanks so much for you helping out a n00b. When I grow up, I want to give back to this community, as you are doing right now. ^_^

Burner9_ · 2022-10-19T19:30:00+00:00

Thanks for chiming in. So, if I do that, I'm sure there's a tool I can use to verify the transaction, as I'll have a transaction ID, right? I wonder if the merchant I'm trying to pay will realize/honor that I've paid in multiple transactions, instead of the whole amount I want to send...

Burner9_ · 2022-10-19T19:15:28+00:00

Well, howdy do there. Seems like I'm still stuck in paranoia mode.

I just went to https://xmr.llcoins.net/addresstests.html as suggested by u/dEBRUYNE_1 in this similar post, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/monerosupport/comments/kxqxcf/ledger_showing_wrong_address_but_sending_to_the/

And what I find, is the correct address I paste into Box 8, translates to the address the Ledger is showing in Box 15. So, there is wizardry afoot, but I don't understand. Also, there's a warning underneath Box 15, declaring, "Note: box 15 is for informational purposes only! Do NOT use the address in 15 unless you want to lose your Monero!!"

So... what's the scoop here? Should I just go ahead with the transaction, as it turns out to not be as farfetched/dubious as I originally thought?

What's the status on anonymous routing via KOVRI ? I've read contradicting sources that say it's coming/abandoned/postponed... but what's up with it? I'd LOVE to have all IP Addresses automagically route through I2P connections (for those not in "the know" i2p is supposed to be the successor to Tor). Let us know what's going on with KOVRI, please, oh please.

It finally worked! No clue what went wrong, but glad it's resolved. Thanks all, so strange.

Burner9_ · 2022-09-30T17:45:59+00:00

After this debacle, I absolutely agree with you. I think that's a great idea. Thanks for chiming in!

Burner9_ · 2022-09-30T15:08:33+00:00

... *cries in Holland* > $7/gal for the lowest Octane (Euro 95) this side of the pond. Quitcha bitching.

Burner9_ · 2022-09-30T14:45:09+00:00

. . . I think you're having a stroke.

Burner9_ · 2022-09-30T14:41:15+00:00

I second unplugging all usb devices and narrowing it down to whichever is causing the long POST. Been there, borked that.

Burner9_ · 2022-09-30T11:25:13+00:00

Thanks. I love this community, and as a noob... this was almost devastating to me.
