Same problem, but this time the error happened at 9% sync.  Huh
Seems to be a SSL problem...

Could you perhaps open a new issue on the Monero Github repository?

https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/new

I will have to create an account first. But u will do so when i have the time to.

Thanks.

One of the main goals of Tari is Monero success. Fluffypony emphasized this in his latest presentation on Tari & Monero, which I strongly recommend to watch:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmeSSnppixY

Additionally, he did not leave Monero. He is still actively participating in Monero's development.


Kind of like one of the main goals of Ticketmaster is the US dollar's success?  Please, it's a private company.  I'm glad it exists but let's not get carried away.

Did you actually watch the presentation? Furthermore, Tari will be merge-mined with Monero. The bigger Monero's market cap, the more secure the chain will be (which thus benefits Tari).

Maybe not in actual practice but FP made a specific fuss about peeling off the do his company thing. And stepping down etc.

Also all you guys went off to another forum (I know you are always here working hard - you had most of my merits over the years for it)

Most traffic is currently present on Reddit (r/monero for normal discussion and r/xmrtrader for investing / trading discussion). As far as I can see, this is simply a side-effect of people preferring Reddit over Bitcointalk nowadays. The latter has arguably also lost a lot of traffic over the years. Thus, I don't think the lower activity here is on purpose.

...  Hyping the drone thing makes all of you look desperate tbh.



especially when some key dev's went off to do different things.



Are you talking about Monero? Because no key developers have left and your statement is thus erroneous.

What happened to monero? Why did he drop so much in value?

It did not drop. It just keep want to have $100 Monero party, so tries to stay there. Almost a stable coin. 6 weeks almost same.

All jokes aside, it is very concerning how low the bitcoin ratio dropped on Monero.  I thought I was getting a good deal at .011 BTC.  I'm going to hold like always but I'm less confident on the recovery this time around.


Also why do people refer to crypto coins as he/him.  Should be,"why did it drop so much in value" not he....

Basically all alts got slaughtered though. Monero did not really underperform in Bitcoin terms relative to other altcoins.

Hi,
I upgraded my wallet from v12 to v14. But I am having an issue: monero-wallet-gui.exe does not work. It only appears in Task Manager for a second, and then immediately exits. No log file is created so I am at a loss what happens. Previous version worked OK.
I downloaded the archive from official website (not the installer) and replaced all files in my Monero folder as usual. Since then, monero-wallet-gui.exe did not work.
I then ran monerod.exe, which worked OK. At first it upgraded blockchain database from version 1 to version 2, then 3, then 4 (if I remember correctly). It is synchronizing blocks as I write this post. So my blockchain db is not corrupt. I tried running the GUI wallet while monerod.exe is running, same result. And turned off Avast antivirus temporarily, same result.
Can anyone advise what to do, please?

Do you have active AV (AntiVirus) software on that system?
Yes and Monero folder is under exclusions. And disabling AV makes no difference. Previous version (v12) worked without problems.

Can you try launching via the start-low-graphics-mode.bat batch file that is included?
That was one of the first things I tried but forgot to mention... same result: the gui exe only appears in task manager and then immediately quits, with no log created.

I have a feeling your AV is still deleting necessary files (i.e. files required in order for the GUI to run properly). Can you perhaps try these steps:

1. Reboot to ensure all Monero related processes are closed.

2. Apply this guide -> https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/10798/my-antivirus-av-software-blocks-quarantines-the-monero-gui-wallet-is-there

3. Note that step 2. implies that you have to re-extract the .zip file.

4. Start monero-wallet-gui.exe again. Does it launch properly now?

You said that the „—prune blockchain“ option needs to be includet every time the daemon is started, right!?
My problem:
To be safe i deleted the old blockchain database and started a fully new sync. The daemon was running till 66% and then he stoped and shut down. I don‘t know why..
When i start monerod  again with „--prune blockchain“ i get the error „could not start sync- to many dirty blocks“. When i do the same with „-db salve“ instead of „-prune blockchain“ it starts to sync again but also shuts down some hours later.

The last version of the daemon was slower but worked constant. What could be the problem?

You may have accidentally corrupted the blockchain. There's also a bug in v0.14.1.0 due to which pruning on a sync from scratch does not function properly. I'd suggest to perform a normal resync from scratch and thereafter utilize the pruning tool.

A very interresting update on my situation:
I deleted the whole .bitmonero folder, cleaned up and started from scratch without the prune-tool-> same issue! At 66% the sync stops for reasons i can not find.

So just to have all tried, i created a completely new node on a different device (bananapi pro) and started sync from beginning. As i checked the logs some minutes ago i see the same problem at 66% as on the other device:

 Whats the problem Huh

------
Edit:

I started the sync again and watched it . After about 100 blocks it stopped with comment Segmentation fault

Do you have sufficient free disk space on both systems? Also, why are you using a non default port?

Used: 15.48GB (14.13%) Free: 94.06GB Total: 109.53GB
So space is not the problem.

I choosed a random port. Is that important? I changed to 18081 now.

Could you perhaps, for testing purposes, try a full resync from scratch with the default port?

Came into this thread to read about the reasons for the decline of XMR, but here are the last two pages are so much flooding that I absolutely did not understand the reasons why so Monero collapsed in a time when everyone was waiting for him lift. Can anyone make any suggestions about this?


Quoting myself from Reddit:

Quote
An insane amount of margin longs have been (or are in the process of) liquidated on Poloniex (check the wicks on the 1m chart). I'd wager there has been more than 100k XMR liquidated on Poloniex in the last 24 hours. As I said in another comment, this may be a necessarily evil to eventually end the bearmarket in XMR/BTC.

And:

Quote
Alts are basically getting slaughtered by the Bitcoin stampede. In Monero, the slaughter is amplified by an insane amount of margin long liquidations (check the Poloniex charts). Perhaps this is a necessary evil required to eventually end the bearmarket in XMR/BTC.

Additionally, fundamentals have improved significantly over the last 1-2 years, but that has basically been ignored due to the prolonged bearmarket. I am certain they will shine eventually though.

Release of Exa Wallet — mobile wallet with multisignatures support:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/bwase5/release_of_exa_wallet_mobile_wallet_with/

First multisignature wallet if I am not mistaken. Did anyone try it already?
Hello I see it's for iOs and Android.
But it's only a mobile wallet? There is no desktop version?


Copied from the source:

— Mobile only? Any plans for a desktop app?

At this point, we're working on a fork of monero-wallet-gui to support the same workflow of multisignature wallets.
Great but no desktop version as of now so...

They plan to release a desktop version in the foreseeable future.

How do you take a 75 GB blockchain and prune it without losing your wallet transaction blocks?

First make sure all Monero related processes are closed. Thereafter, you can utilize the prune-blockchain tool that is included. This will convert your 'old' blockchain file (i.e. data.mdb) to a 'new' pruned blockchain file.
157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: June 16, 2019, 09:51:08 AM
Hy guys,

running monero 14.1 linux 64 bit and starting the lmdb with --prune-blockchain from scratch, do i have to use the --prune-blockchain everytime i synchronize or does monerod recognize the pruned database, so i can start with monerod?

Thanks  Grin

--prune-blockchain has to be used (as startup flag) upon every startup of monerod.

Hy there,

ok, thanks for clarifying! In the next release, do you think it would be possible to detect a "pruned" blockchain upon start of ./monerod in order to avoid two DB's?

Kind regards

Can you perhaps clarify? The 'new' pruned blockchain file will always be used as default file (you can delete the 'old' blockchain file).

Thanks  Grin

--prune-blockchain has to be used (as startup flag) upon every startup of monerod.

If I prune the chain and then accidentally start the daemon without the prune flag will it overwrite the pruned chain without a prompt?

IOW if I accidentally start the daemon (like when I upgrade in 6 months) will the pruned chain get deleted and start downloading from scratch?

No, the new blocks will simply not be pruned. Put differently, you will have a pruned 'base' upon which non pruned blocks are added.
