It will be fascinating to see how xmr reacts to a bitcoin price bubble. Just staying in the 0.002 - 0.003 range will be a great result if bitcoin doubles here. The super bull outcome would be a repeat of 2013 with selected alts bubbling with bitcoin surge. Not impossible to see xmr either crater here or go up 10x (and still have a tiny market cap). All depends on the mini whales pulling the strings  Given that a 2% bitcoin rise apparently causes -13% or worse in monero, it seems that a bitcoin rally will cause Monero to go to negative values. I will accept 100 Monero from you for every Bitcoin you give me. Deal of the century, don't miss out! |

How big is the XMR blockchain?
10 GB on Windows. Perf branch is ~6.6GB. I think master branch is 9GB or so. 10 seems high. |

Is there something I can do to get my pool listed on the announce page of this thread? In fact, the last there seems pretty outdated. Lot of those pools are gone it seems. It's at https://xmr.cncoin.farmI think fluffypony said on IRC the list in the ANN will be updated soon (probably when he is back). I agree with you it's pretty outdated. I updated the OP with his pool, and removed the obviously dead ones I saw. If someone else has more changes/additions, suggest them. I think longer term this is going to go in a page on the official site where pool owners can just PR their own additions. |

Thanks for your help luigi and for clarifying this as a MyMonero bug or the like.
I just finished trying wallet #2. From my primary MyMonero wallet I sent the 10 XMR, along with the payment ID, to the addresses given in the import section from my Other MyMonero instance. Unfortunately. Same thing happened. Zero Monero. In both wallets it says the payment hasn't arrived yet, but I checked and it is on the block explorer.
So, if I may, I think it might be wise to avoid importing any paper wallets into MyMonero. I've imported them before, but before the last hard fork.
I don't have a lot of Monero, just like 2 BTC worth.
Anyway, I don't have a problem with a trusted member helper helping me.
Bed time for me now though. I'll check back in the morning. Thanks again for your help.

No problem. I think fluffypony is in Asia for another 10 days or so. I'm sure he can get it resolved when he gets back (and probably before), I just wanted to offer you alternatives if you were in a hurry, etc. |

Wonder if I can still use those XMR as it is on the blockchain.) Ah, that explains it as usually he got back to me quick. Anyone else with MyMonero experience? I am afraid to import my other paper wallet as I'm not sure the system is working. Has anyone done a paper wallet import since the hard fork? He's been captured by the North Koreans. Are you able to run a node? You can import your keys into simplewallet and it'll rescan the chain for your transactions. Actually, you can do that even without a node if you connect to a remote one (I don't have the information handy but there are several open ones). Thanks luigi. Something with my Mac has made installing a wallet just not work. I have even reinstalled the OS. I had the Ethereum wallet on my machine and it had problems as well (would always fall behind.) So, I don't feel (yet) like trying the wallet again. The problem is that when I input the seed words into MyMonero, it shows a balance of zero (and no transactions), so I'm not sure inputting them into a desktop wallet would actually do anything. I think they are stuck somewhere. They were successfully sent to the paper wallet, but with Monero, you can't really check the balance, lol. But you can see the transaction... If the transaction went through (ie, you can find it on a block explorer), then it is almost certainly a MyMonero backend issue/bug. Thus using a simplewallet instance would indeed find the missing payments. If you want someone trusted to sweep the wallet for you (possibly to a new MyMonero wallet if you're into that), one of us can do that too, though obviously I'd generally recommend against giving your seed(s) to anyone. |

...whereas horizontal supports are much more clear and thus objective in my opinion.
So they are more objective, subjectively?  |

Poloniex holds more then 50% XMR, mostley because there is no GUI, if they go mtgox XMR is doomed
Probably more like all alts at this point. There's no way that 50% of XMR is on Poloniex. There's 389k on the order book out of a total of 16.3M. Let's say that 5% of the XMR held by Poloniex is on the sell side, to be conservative, that would be ~6M, still less than 50% of total supply, and I think that's being way too conservative...probably they hold a couple million at most. Great analysis. Where did you go to decide 16.3M is a useful number? PS: After reading through the last pages I know who our bear whale is. It's so easy to see if someone is long or short by their writing. Don't want to name, let's just say it's legendary.
Am I long or short? |

This coin is in all the wrong hands you can imagine.
In your view, who are these wrong hands and why do they own the coin? Actually the more interesting question is how does slapper know who owns what amount of XMR? Nice play on words there ArticMine, but you know well that I am not knocking on the tech or development work (some dev personalities, maybe, but I am appreciative of work). smfuser, seems like you have been suckered into this coin, so you may not know the complete 2 year history. You don't have to know who is dumping, just look at charts for last 2 years. Welcome to dump city. Seems to me "dump city" is likely to correspond quite well with the emission (haven't tried to fit the two together, just speculating). Alienating significant audience in bitcointalk and potential backers due to abrasive trutherism in the forums and social media had nothing to do with it.  After all there are no other chains with more coins emitted already with more value/coin right?   XMR has an emission schedule on the aggressive side, thus has (and has had for its entire life) plenty of new supply for miners to sell. This will slowly change as more are emitted. Whether price will follow is of course another matter entirely. This is probably (tm) unrelated to any "abrasive trutherism", though I don't discount that such has had some effect on historical pricing. Everyone on (the great) Bitcointalk being friendly unicorns and existing in perfect harmony wouldn't have had much effect on the new daily supply available to sell, however. |

As far as I know 0.9.3 should auto refresh. As far as asking a bunch of specific questions about your wallet the best bet is to jump onto freenode IRC #monero and ask on there. This board is available to search and documents the answers, so why ask to go to #monero? 0.9.3 doesn't refresh, so why is that? This could be a problem where your coins are stolen and since it doesn't refresh, you may think they are still there, right? Is there a bug or is there a problem with my wallet? Regarding refresh, autorefresh should work in 9.3. However, in case it doesn't work what is wrong with just typing refresh? In trying to find out about what happened in my sweep_dust, I did a rescan and everything in my wallet appears good. I have made a note to run the refresh every time I open my wallet now, an auto refresh would be nice, not a big deal. I don't open the 'ol wallet too much I'm going to hold and pray it hits out of the solar system, I have a feeling secure money is smart money. For old wallets, I think auto-refresh isn't set. Type "set auto-refresh 1" into the simplewallet console. |

Changing the mixin hasn't helped. Still getting the same error. Could there be another issue?
Can you set your daemon log level to 1 and try again? It should give more details. Thanks. According to the log the tx has "used already spent key images". I'm going to follow the steps set out here (assuming they are still valid):
1. Delete poolstate.bin and restart node (also move/rename wallet .bin file again)
2. Make sure you have the current version
3. Make sure you are connected to the network with print_cn (daemon command)
4. Wait 24 hours and try again
Ok, so you may need to run "rescan_spent" in simplewallet as well as the above steps. I'd recommend just running "flush_txpool" in the daemon console first (and resending the transaction) before trying any of the above. |

Why can't I send any coins? I've tried 4 times, every time I get this error.
2016-Mar-25 12:22:48.643902 Error: transaction <f46693c336ba66659404c750724d18278dc778f429bebb22995aae8d6e775bf3> was rejected by daemon with status: Failed
Using latest 64bit Windows wallet.
Try to use the "transfer_new" command, which uses a different algorithm to construct the transaction, and also try to send in smaller amounts. I've just tried this, I get the same error. I've tried different amounts, right down to 1 coin. Won't work. I'm getting the same error using the latest Mac OS X wallet. Mixin must be at least 3 Try: transfer 3 <adr> <amount> Or: transfer_new 3 <adr> <amount> Mixin must be 2 or greater. Changing the mixin hasn't helped. Still getting the same error. Could there be another issue? Can you set your daemon log level to 1 and try again? It should give more details. |

Can someone explain the Azure news? I am a bit perplexed by what this could mean. Thx in advance, Its about sharing It basically means at this point that there is a template that can get a Monero node running on Azure quickly and easily. So pretty bare-bones right now. It could do other things in the future. |

I'm wondering why block time was increased, where can I read about it?
Its been discussed elsewhere, but I'm not sure there's a cogent document about it. Basically, the 1 minute blocktime was put into place by the original developer, thankful for today, when he cloned bytecoin to create bitmonero. If you don't know the rest of the story, the current core team then forked bitmonero to create the chain we know and love today as Monero. If you dive into the historical posts, you can see the disagreement with 1 min vs 2 minute blocktimes, and the post-hoc rationale provided by TFT was that 1 minute blocktimes would increase distribution in the initial phase (more block finders would be solo miners etc), though its probably he wanted 1 minute blocks because short blocks were all the rage in 2014. And it was also put forward that the chain would switch to 2 minute blocks once the primary distribution was over, in order to prevent re-orgs (when presumably the blocks would be bigger later in the chain's life). So in short, the blocktime was increased to prevent high frequency of reorganizations. It also lessens the slow-to-verify POW impact (which positively impacts orphans somewhat, but more so initial/catchup syncs). 1 minute blocks are on the dangerously short side for a decentralized POW currency, in my opinion. |

Thank you, I have your site bookmarked. The only thing I'm wondering is, will I notice anything at all when the fork happens while running an up to date node? Hopefully not. |

Monero price is too volatile for them to consider adopting at this time. Sellers would not choose to use Monero because they would be scared of losing money.
More scared of losing money than they are of losing their freedom? Questionable. Also, bitcoin volatility is low now, but during DNM adoption phase it was much higher. The very fact of adoption creates volatility. Nobody minds upside volatility. I feel like shorters wouldn't like it that much. |

When starting bitmonerod, the message is shown. Last scheduled hard fork time shows a daemon update is needed now. I thought this update would do it. What should I do? I just started getting the same message. I believe it was mentioned that this message is a bug and there is nothing that needs to be done. Also there is a release due out today that will address this and a few other things. Well ok. The synchronization has anyway been very slow. Before and after last update. It takes easily half an hour or more to sync just one days blocks. Has anyone else this problem? mine is very slow too i have the 9.2 on a capable machine and it looks like at this rate i won't be done for about 3 days. To all mods/devs...can someone please give a little bit more specific information on how to use the bootstrap download? i downloaded it but I don't know how to open it or what directory it should be in. I do not know how to code or use command line :/ It seems I am not the only one who feels like they are unable to access their coins despite doing everything right. hopefully one of you hero members or more experienced users can write a dummy's guide or something because this is just a little too complicated lol. I was smart enough to build an 8 gpu mining setup but somehow i have trouble with monero hahaha A "capable machine" doesn't take 3 days to sync. Mine takes just over an hour. I'm guessing using the import isn't going to be significantly faster than syncing. If you really want to try it, please join #monero on freenode and people there can work with you on it much more quickly than this back and forth via forum posts. https://webchat.freenode.net/You can also use simplewallet with a remote node which should be much faster than syncing a daemon from scratch. Someone else would have to provide some names/addresses for remote-capable nodes. |

Thirdly, a year ago I took a 30% APR predatory loan for $8,000 and put it fully into Monero at 40 cents each, so consider that as my vote of confidence.
Dude, what? Have you paid it back at least? |

Going to spam this place only once, but the offer is still valid. Two days remaining (node has been upgraded to the latest version 0.9.2)I sent 4 XMR. |
