Hi guys, just updating from Helix to Warptangent - and thought i should note my mnemonic seed in case i need it for restoring.
But 3 of the 25 words seem to have odd characters - for instance one of the words is: poes├Ħa
if i encrypt my mnemonic will it decrypt correctly?
Which language did you choose for your mnemonic seed? Thanks for your prompt reply dEBRUYNE, well i cannot remember specifying a language, i did install the cli a couple of years ago now, maybe i was not concentrating when i did it and chose incorrect language - i had not used seed until today as most of my xmr were stored on exchange (not advised i know). What would be my best course of action now? i was thinking maybe to send my xmr to polo, delete all files from my bitmonero folder - and do install of warptangent and create new wallet? but because i currently have Helix 0.9.1.0 will i just get booted off network and be unable to transfer my xmr to exchange? Your daemon will get booted off, but your wallet won't. However there might be a boost serialization issue with the cache file, so you might need to delete it and let the wallet refresh again. You can view your seed language by typing "set" in simplewallet/monero-wallet-cli, and change it with "set seed language". For extra peace of mind, you can type "spendkey" and "viewkey" and copy down the "secret" results as well. |

Guys, how to find that 5 XMR? should i run full node and wait it to download full blockchain?
Hey let's don't make it harder than needs to be for a newbie, right? Can't he just use the seed-words from the generated wallet on MyMonero.com to quickly get to his money? I know it's usually recommended that MM only be for testing or not-significant amounts, but 5 XMR here is under $40 bucks now, so is that really so much? Yeah yeah "everyone should be able to use the command line" I know the argument BUT srsly we-all here in the monero community really need to start seriously considering HOW to make EVERYTHING really a lot EASIER for people to actually USE very SIMPLE and CLEAN, and FAST...!!! XMR being "too hard" or "complicated" (especially for stoners on the darknet markets, LOL) will nip the organic growth that we need in the bud. Imagine how much more adoption there'd probably already be in the DNM's if only the GUI came out *before* AlphaBay added XMR? I totally believe that the reason it's still not preferred over BTC around there is 99.9% because of "no easy wallet available" yet. MyMonero will not scan prior transactions unless you pay for it. |

Thanks. According to those numbers the current annual rate of inflation is 18% <=[(6 698*365)/13 575 000] It's still way higher than the Bitcoin one, which is around 4.2%. So we still have a long way to go. When will we be at 10% and 4%? That info is in the spreadsheet already (scroll right if you have a small screen). We are currently around 14%, not 18%. |

Has anyone figured out how to store xmr yet? I don't trust phone wallets or third party services because xmr will probably be $100 this time next year....  There is no hardware wallet in sight. Really for privacy your best choice is to run a node and use the official client from the command line with a strong password. Not as secure as a hardware wallet but what can you do. I do not care for paper wallets, you may differ. If you just want to store, then make a paper wallet (with multiple copies). For extra security you can do stuff like https://xmr.llcoins.net/ |

Guys do you think that one day we will see 1 billion market cap for Monero?
Yes maybe tomorrow. If not there's always the day after.  |
|
|
|
Fuck that.... 10BTC is worth $7K now... these guys had to donate significantly less back in the day But it'll be worth it once we get the new tm forum!!! |

Good to see you two arguing again. <3
Risto, your profile tag still says "(King)".

But at least I finally understand that Zero Knowledge Proof refers to the buyer and not some tech.
Thank you for that.  Take my upvote. |

Does mymonero.com web wallet guarantee at least the anonymity of the sender and receiver? From the public, yes. Fluffypony could deduce quite a lot if he desired, however. Note that keeping your seed (which is required to log in) safe is of utmost importance. Those two goals are diametrically opposed, so just be careful, be very careful. Or, just be reasonable and don't store more than a small % of your Monero holdings there. |

Monero is one really strange acting coin, make me lose over 2BTC, was buy 2K for 1.14USD after 6 months price was just go down so i sell them, two weeks later price skyrocket..
Don't know is it smart to go on it ones more, if it will be used for dark web, price should be way over 8USD.
Think there should be at least one more XMR pump mid November, black market activity should rise late November-December, so i hope pump will be before that. Any opinion on this?
In my honest opinion the problem with many people is the deadlines: if the price doesn't rise by the end of 2016 at least to 70 usd, then I will dump and ask others also to dump it. Is this meant to be an example of others' deadlines or your own deadline? I think the former but it reads ambiguously. |

Source and binariesAlso see below for optional GUI.Latest release: 0.9.1.0 Hydrogen Helix The first post needs updating. Indeed, last edit was July - Also, official forum link is wrong/broken Updated. The forum appears to be down at the moment. |

The new version is a great news, I was expecting an improved daemon.
The sync was very fast (SSD, very good internet, 6GB RAM).
But the space improvement was not great - from under 10Gb to 7.6GB. This is on Win10 x64...
24% reduction is pretty significant in my opinion. After reading a few posts I somehow expected something near 40-50%. But it's OK, you are right. The even better news for me are that lately the sync is much faster and the daemon doesn't need so much time to start or save+close. I think Windows is the Problem... i think i recall hyc saying that windows has the behaviour to add "empty space" where it should not do so the file looks bigger there It's the opposite really. That extra space thing on Windows was changed back sometime before 9.4 IIRC, where in Linux it wasn't (since sparse files weren't an issue). So Windows at 10GB was very close to the actual DB size, while Linux would show it as 16GB or so. Now actual DB size is around 7.5GB, I think on both platforms. |

We were just having a bit of fun and the linking of that comic was inspired by my comment that was signal not noise.  Why would you assume that comment wasn't directed straight at myself? |

The only viable long term solutions that I have seen for a flexible blocksize limit also require a tail emission. That being said this does not mean, I have a proof that a long term solution for a flexible blocksize limit without a tail emission is not possible. This is a quote from Arcticmine's comment he made earlier from another thread. My question is, what is the theory behind needing a tail emission for dynamic block sizes? He also mentioned that he does not have proof that a long term solution for not having a tail emission for dynamic block sizes is not possible. So meaning dynamic block sizes even with a capped number of coins with no tail emission could also be possible? Please explain. See Peter R's paper where the math breaks down at zero emission. It may work with some type of fee burn or deferment, but I'm not sure how much research has been done on that front. I do not understand the infatuation with a fixed (in reality shrinking after a certain point) total supply. Non-exponentially-increasing supplies will reach an equilibrium at some point. |

Oh my god. That was so funny. I died. Literally? (SNR in this thread: declining) |

That is so strange. I never would have even guessed there were two standards so similar to each other floating around. This seems dumb. This community should probably just settle on a standard. I may have just done an hours worth of tedious work for nothing. Just two standards? There's more than that.  |

Question in regards it to a cold wallet, moneroaddress.
When depositing coins to your cold wallet, you can check to see if you received them. You just have to enter the view key, public address, and tx id on xmr.llcoins.
Now, how can I check if there have been any transactions since you've initially deposited them? Verifying that there hasn't been a hack on your wallet>
There is currently no easy way to do this. However, in the future there might: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/51i0n7/solved_it_hopefully_heres_how_we_can_make_the/What would be the best currently available (though not easy) way to do this? First, you'd have to fully sync the blockchain on an online computer. Second, copy simplewallet, bitmonerod, and the blockchain to an USB and plug that into the offline computer. Third, use bitmonerod in offline modus (--offline flag) and it should use the blockchain you have already synced on the online computer. Fourth, use --restore-deterministic-wallet to create a wallet with your seed offline. Lastly, use refresh to sync your wallet. It will refresh up to the last block you have synced online. It should then show all the transactions (both incoming and outgoing) of your offline wallet up to that block. That's quite an ordeal. I think someone (moneromooo?) was working on a way of getting the key image from a transaction so you can check the spent status using Moneroblocks API... (like Luigi's coin checker) Note if you are already checking arrival of funds via the checktx page, there's a rather simple way you could generate the key image offline for just the output(s) you care about. This would take only a minute or two and not require syncing the chain or restoring a wallet. I would need to set up the code to do it though. That sounds potentially very useful. What information would be required on the offline computer to generate the key images in that simple way without restoring a wallet or syncing the chain? You can generate the key images with the account keys, tx_public_key, and real_output_index (for each output). You would have to feed your offline machine this information to allow the generate_key_image_helper function to generate the KIs. The generate_key_image_helper function has a few steps in the KI creation where it calls the base generate_key_image function below: void crypto_ops::generate_key_image(const public_key &pub, const secret_key &sec, key_image &image) generate_key_image_helper code: bool generate_key_image_helper(const account_keys& ack, const crypto::public_key& tx_public_key, size_t real_output_index, keypair& in_ephemeral, crypto::key_image& ki) Sorry for quoting the code, I needed to post it for myself as a refresher given it's been a bit since I looked at these functions. i speculate c++ code.  Copying over the JSON for the tx in question would be the simplest way, i.e., http://moneroblocks.info/api/get_transaction_data/56c41127d1a3bc8a896379666c60a0c6aac0b41916ae3b2dfc3057149949bbc1Put that in a text document and copy over on a flash drive to an offline computer (ideally one that always stays offline). You would then copy/paste the tx into the utility along with your seed, and it'd spit out the key images (which you can copy to an online PC and watch for in the blockchain). I would probably just release a webpage, similar to https://xmr.llcoins.net/addressgen.zip (download and use offline), because: 1. the code basically all exists already 2. it's easier  3. it needs no compiling for different platforms 4. (almost) everything has a web browser 5. performance is irrelevant 6. It's a GOOOOEY (!!!) |

ok, so... This coin is now worth > 5000 USD  It's so 3 weeks ago... Now hovering around 15k USD Geez. Last coin is finally in the owners hands and funded! http://au10.llcoins.net/Thanks for all who participated. A platinum coin sounds expensive now... |
