I guess I got confused somewhere along going through all the txs, txouts, etc. There is only one miner_tx_hash and the rest are in tx_hashes. And the miner hash matches if queried as you say. There is some difference in the early coinbase transactions containing multiple vout and the current ones seem to only have one. Maybe I got confused about that.

Now this confuses me how can we convert Monero add. to Ristretto points. Note that the byte-encoding of s is nothing but CompressedRistretto representation. So, for each example point P, let the byte encoding of P be s(P). Then I decompress this CompressedRistretto to get a Ristretto point using the [function](https://github.com/dalek-cryptography/curve25519-dalek/blob/805cdbfd3c0aa5c8a2ea11dcc0f002807fd617e5/src/ristretto.rs#L251) in Ristretto implementation.

Then, if you multiply each random curve point by the group order (the 2^252+... number mentioned above), you will only get 8 possible answers. You can do EC point addition to observe that one of them added together will generate all of the other 8 points." CreationDate="2024-01-19T16:37:15.060" UserId="1148" />

  <row Id="13583" PostId="14202" Score="0" Text="I guess this might after all be an issue with me trying to mount the blockchain over NFS. After recording a report using `perf`, it seems that almost half of the time is spent handling page faults - I assume monerod maps the blockchain into its virtual memory and when the kernel can't find the requested data in physical memory, it triggers a page fault and loads the missing data over the network. Altho I'm still surprised htop doesn't show that as disk I/O, plus my network usage doesn't seem particularly high/out-of-the-ordinary." CreationDate="2024-01-24T14:10:09.903" UserId="16815" />
