That's a 2 year old post you're referencing, kurious. Monero Core (0.9.4) has come a long way since then and I find the CLI very stable on OSX to be honest. I'm running it on El Capitan. No bugs. The only time I have problems is when I upgrade boost and need to regenerate my wallet cache but the average person isn't doing that. You should be able to download the binaries and get started right away. If you're up to trying it again I'd be happy to answer any questions https://getmonero.org/downloads/Hey - thanks, it's a holiday tomorrow where I am, so I will give it a go. I am not stupid, but have never done Command Line stuff as I have no code (or even PC) background. I made a test wallet on the offline generator this morning and tested it. All fine, but 'recovery' is another thing altogether. I have most of my BTC in laminated paper wallets in a safe and it feels good. But I really went for XMR and it's now worth "way more BTC than my BTC" if you get my drift. I am humbled and grateful for your offer to help but I will try not to call it in  |

Simple question and yes, I have looked around.
Can I make a paper wallet (generated offline) and then recover it using MyMonero? Or just use the spend keys without a wallet?
I am on Mac and cannot use simple wallet, bitmonerod etc - I can't do terminal / command line stuff either.
I have tested sending a couple of XMR to an offline paper wallet and sure - it works, but just found I have no way of getting it back. I have all keys - but need to make a wallet to recover to - and I just can't.
Pointers appreciated as I really need to get my XMR offline and safe in as cold a storage method as poss. Apologies for being an idiot - but I cannot code and have never owned a PC...
Don't laugh and I know I shoudl look elsewhere, but I have spent hours and cannot find a simple solution (for me).
Can you sit back and wait just a little longer for Soon TM? GUI should ease your way, though I managed to figure out the CLI, despite my general lack of compooter experience. Just dive in. there's lots of help here when you get stuck. Thanks, I will wait. It's just that (all of a sudden) I really don't want so much on MyMonero. I just worked out how much it was worth now and don't feel quite so blasé about any more  |

You can use this guide to securely generate an offline cold paper wallet: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/48cgmd/an_extensive_guide_for_securely_generating_an/Note that this guide is based on the guide magico linked (which was created by Fluffypony), but with a bit more explanation, videos, and screenshots of all the steps. And yes, you can recover it using MyMonero. However, it will cost you a 10 XMR import fee. Thanks but I've I tried it and I can't use command line or simple wallet on a mac - it's way too complicated and buggy. Not just me, either! https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/2ec7nf/osx_simplewallet_instructions_unclear_make_gui/EDIT: I will wait for the GUI I guess - but for anyone on Mac, it's Mymonero or nothing! I know... 'Soon™' |

Jeez - I just went out when it was still 012 to go food shopping... I come back and it's 015.  Now I need to look into some serious cold storage and I am on mac... |

Please remember, that the last ATH brought a quite huge drop along  I beginning to think you are our praetorian guard: "Memento Monero; es mortalis" Deadly to those who doubt.... ;-) |

Please remember, that the last ATH brought a quite huge drop along Thank you for your concern, but i think we are ready for it (if it comes). Personally I have ladder buys all the way down, any drop will be fed upon with relish. I let go of nearly 20% of my stash on this last leg up. Now I am concerned I've sold too much and need to get back to my target level of XMR in time for the next order of magnitude jump. |

When I was first aware of XMR before it was even listed on Polo (or was called Monero), one of the people who got me into it along with noticing Aminorex and Risto's enthusiasm, was KFR.
Anyone know what happened? Last post on KFR's profile here was 2015?
It's a shame to see early adopters not be here to see the ATH - I think KFR had it from OTC sales before Poloniex listed it.
KFR was active on https://cryptocrypt.net (Goat's forum) until the tumbleweed set in - I think the site is down for good now Yeah, I remember - I used to go there for Trader Timms poetical anaylsis. Maybe he went the way of Chartbuddy after the BTC WallObserver protest exodus. I will go look there... Thanks |

Last week went from .004 to .008 pretty sharpish....wondering if this week we just plough through from .01 to .02
Aminorex was spot of about this weekend 'coin of the hour'. I guess it will settle at some point - maybe the end of the weekend will cool it off? OTOH a lot of serious money will only see this on Monday.... The market cap pushing towards the 100 million level is huge news. Everything just changed - and I haven't had this much fun in crypto since 2103 Me neither --- just hope there isn't the equivalent of 2014 round the corner Agreed - but we're a little wiser now. And Polo isn't (touch wood) Gox. More exchanges will list XMR now - they will not like Polo taking all the action on this kind of volume. They are losing out if they don't. Yes, I can't imagine the profits being made at polo right now. And of course, adoption by a new exchange usually sees a coin increase in value even further. Seems we are on a virtuous circle now. The problem is more that I can't name a 'good' exchange that might step in - Stamp has no interest in alts, BTCe perhaps, Finex not after the exploits of late, which leaves the Chinese exchanges....  I requested some help with a p2p exchange earlier (thanks for all the replies guys!!)....anyway, realised it was bitsquare. I'd like to see them open up a direct XMR <>USD/GBP/EUR facility. Of course you're right about a lack of good exchanges. But I would settle for Kraken right now - just to add fuel. What you said makes me realise how crucial Polo is, not just to XMR - but the whole Alt ecosystem. |

It is ATH... And it's still going. Buy side is massive and climbing. XMR to buy...? |

I like Monero though and hold some but the two should definitely reach parity again at some point.
Not sure that FCT have enough fuel to reach parity with XMR. One of the reasons I've kept track of Monero before without doing much diligence on it has been because the two have switched places so many times. I don't believe there is much correlation but it piqued my interest which I am obviously happy that it did now given the recent XMR movements. XMR has had an amazing run so far where do you think it'll be at in a month in three months and in a year? $7.00.... $5.50.... $25.00.... Pure guess. Based upon bananas. |

Where is this going to go? Is there a target? Or is everyone just cashing in and partying? I've been out of the loop with monero - any gui in the works?  Surely you know the answer by now... Soon™ (actually it is imminent, and in final stages - someone will tell you how close we are who knows better than I do, I am sure) |

10k volume!!
IMAGE
24hr Volume: 10008.13360079 BTC / 1918420.59736845 XMR
Impressive indeed. Let's keep it like this. ATH will be a psychological barrier which is interesting to see if it can be supported for ever. Then the price can rise pretty fast and things escalate. I personally do not think what you are calling the ATH is really relevant. I mean.. it will have a psychological impact, partly becvause it was ~0.01 right? But I doubt there are more than a handful of people who bought coins at that level, and the few who did are most likely not going to unload giant tons of coins. There was about 3kBTC in volume at that time. We will have easily quadrupled that volume just on today... one day... easily 15x the average daily volume during that peak. The real technical ATH is was really 0.0043 and if we can go a day or so up around this level I'd say we've crushed that to bits. The fundamentals here are going to warp the technicals all to hell. "ATH" is trivial. The fact of the matter is: 1. Monero is finally venturing out into actual use. 2. Many many people who have never heard of it are hearing of it right now. What we have to worry about is not ~.01. It is the reception of the technology as it stands in the wild. If all the work done over the last couple years makes cryptonote a usable and stable platform which can begin to scale then we are in for a wild ride, and there's a little chance that even some of us small guppies stand to find wealth. (If only I still held any Monero!!! glub glub) On the other hand if the platform is too hard for the merchants and users to use, or if it breaks - Then we probably will not get another chance like this. Vectors to consider: 1. Blockchain scalability. Will the size of the blockchain become an issue? Do we have sufficient strategies to deal with exponential growth? 2. A single web wallet. Most users will use mymonero.com if they do not use an exchange. Is it robust and stable enough to handle this much more action? 3. The usual suspects. Thefts, NSA, Hacks, shady exchanges, etc. These won't kill us if they happen down the road, but I believe we are vulnerable right now. As a community member the best we can do now is to perform grassroots PR. Hold hands with new users. Help people set up mymonero accounts. Let people know how to navigate the exchanges. Help them understand how to use simplewallet. Do not expect them to have the values and skills present in most of the early adopters. Many may not care about what OS or even the details of privacy. Welcome them and give them what they need. Be honest above all. Warn people that leaving monero on an exchange is as risky as it ever has been. Don't pretend there are not risks associated with a fledgling cryptocurrency in a post BTC worls. Do worry so much about your bag Truecryptonaire. Price is just one part of what were are seeing. The really fun part, for sure... but on it's own? Just a play. A pump and dump. Monero is the real thing IMHO. Well said, Sir. |

Champagne and popcorn time...
Where is the top...?! Seems we're taking a breather after pipping over .0065, but is there more to come? Can't stop watching - just watching Polo troll box is delightful.
I guess we are too classy to be posting train pics, or 'boom' gifs?
I'm not sure but I think that train pics and such are not allowed  Top? We are presently at 0.65% of btc. Paltry. Number of Monero I have sold during this rise = 0 Edit: I did buy a relatively small amount @420 Well now we have hit 0.0075 I wish I could say the same, as I have sold more than I wish I had (with hindsight). I set up ladders of sells and buys as I have done since it first opened on Polo and I have stuck to prioritising accumulation while passively range trading constantly to average down my price per coin overall. I wanted to maintain a 0.1% of supply holding, but tonight with it smashing many of my upper rungs so fast, I am below target by an amount I will struggle to claw back. Of course I can't complain, although I just wish I could get BTC out of Polo quicker than the minimum limits allow. It's been a fantastic 24 hours for those of us in in for the long term though.... And shame about the trains, we're a stuffy lot sometimes, a little exuberance is occasionally warranted IMHO. |

Nope, I said I used to have those skills and they have deteriorated and I can no longer function in that area.
Ah, fair enough. I apologize for that part then, I remembered wrong. NP. shit missed the 1000. Anyway I'm gonna get back on this in the main thread after everything slows down again. This is not the thread for it anyway. But at least here smooth can nuke it. Seems you're on page 1000 now.... It's only a number, but a nice round one, which we humans seem to enjoy marking as landmarks. Good to see price up at well over the 41 level in time for it. Now I need it to let me buy back as I have not been around and seem to have a few of my sell points hit - so can we have a quick flash crash and bounce back now, please? Thanks in anticipation ;-) EDIT: Back to page 999 now... Someone deleting posts to keep the page count down? Whale manipulation! |

Interesting. Side chain option, or a good idea for a new generation coin recipe...? Seems it won't work in existing blockchain protocol. We can't undo the holy blockchain. Miblewimble Coin soon™ |
