Title: Monero wallet?
Post by: alexalex111 on January 12, 2017, 11:50:41 PM
Hey guys.
Right, i had a wallet at mymonero.com.. after trying to log on for about 2 days now.. its been offline ever since " we will be back online within a few hours" its been nearly 2 days and no sign of anything..

So, my question to you is.. any other good monero wallets i should know of?
I read about jaxx wallet.. multi crypto wallet.. i heard they were going to implement XMR, but i guess it's all talk so far as nothing has been added.

Any other valuable XMR wallet i could use?

Your imput is always appreciated.
Thanks.

You can download the official beta (https://getmonero.org/2016/12/22/monero-core-gui-beta-released.html) of the Monero Core GUI wallet now. Let it sync completely before you attempt to send or receive, should take about 24 hours.

The problem with Monero wallets is that as far as I am aware there is no SPV wallets because there are massive technical hindrances to this.
At this point I am not sure if developers already figured out a a way to create some sort of SPV framework that doesn't compromise your privacy.
Also current hard fork is not helping, some wallets, i.e. Light Wallet will stop working after the fork.
I guess the best option is Monero Core...

The fork was Tuesday and LightWallet did indeed stop working. The developer recommended using the official GUI. MyMonero is down for updates needed after the fork. The Jaxx wallet guys claim they have Monero finished and will roll it out in a few weeks.

I'll believe it when I see it and maybe not even then. :)

No. The MyMonero wallets use a different type of mnemonic: 13 words instead of 25 words. The Monero Core GUI (or the CLI) doesn't support restoring a wallet from a 13 word mnemonic seed. So; you'll need to wait until MyMonero is back online sorry. Remember the developer of MyMonero always recommended using NyMonero to store small sums of Monero, and using the official wallet for large amounts of Monero.

The Monero Core GUI wallet is really good. I have used it, and I thought the layout was great.

It smells worse by the hour.
And the official solution is to send over your seed to some bo-peep website to get to your keys
https://xmr.llcoins.net/addresstests.html
unless you're kind of skilled and could use a Linux tool.
Is that what you'd expect from a coin worth more than $11?

First off MyMonero is not Monero so how could expectation from one grow over to the other?
Secondly afaik you could also download the whole adresstests thing and do it offline.

Ah really? I understood its maintained by this Fluffy Ponzi guy, who is Monero's lead developer, correct me if I'm wrong.
And the tool provided is for Linux, nothing the average end user would be able to utilize.
Wasn't great adoption something Monero has written on its banner?

The OP of this thread doesn't seem to be able to get to his coins even after the site came back online.

He most likely never had any account there.  Since he made 3 threads here and ignoring all help he got provided.  He and you most likely shorthed Monero and still hoping price will fall spreading FUD.

Monero block chain is working flawlessly.
Monero GUI altho in beta works flawlessly.
MyMonero after maintenance works flawlessly for all.

Thanks for the link, I downloaded the GPU and CPU versions and now I will wait to run the GPU when I get my 2nd video card, and the CPU i will test as soon as I have time. This is my first time so I know its gonna be a little tough to learn.

Hi Alex, I think the best wallet is Jaxx, If you want to Use hardware wallet so You can use Ledger nano S wallet that also accepts Monero otherwise use paper wallet the moneroadress.org this is the best paper wallet for the store Monero.

I do not suggest any Monero wallet but I can share here my opinion I used there are 5 Different wallets yet But finally I have agreed with Coin payment and Cryptonator wallet.
