It was an older wallet that doesn't appear to have a seed but I could be wrong. Still checking.
Other news: My node seems rock solid with the 0.9 release.
Bruteforcing only works if you know 90-99% of the password already and it is not too complex. Hopefully you will find your mnemonic seed or remember your password. |

Crosspost: Interesting comment from Shen about multisig yep - very likely will be implemented in conjunction with the ring ct stuff
Following the "written up" link in the Ring CT post, section 4.4 of the paper describes how to implement "Ring multisignature". Some of the other CryptoNote coins have multisig, but only with 0 mixin. Very nice work being done on the crypto front. |

thanks for the release guys!! Hydrogen Helix  and thanks for the guys running those 100/1000 mbit seednodes, good traffic. i hope there wont be any critical stuff,lets still try to be careful. 2 min will be activated after the fork, right? very big present!!!booom! Correct. |

Crosspost: Hydrogen Helixhttps://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/releases/tag/v0.9.0
OverviewToo much to describe. Represents a major release in Monero's history, over a year-and-a-half in the making. Some highlights
- moved from in-RAM database to a backend-agnostic blockchain database - created an LMDB blockchainDB implementation (with the help of Howard Chu, the creator of LMDB) - created a BerkeleyDB blockchainDB implementation - created an OS-agnostic raw blockchain format - built tools to convert between blockchain implementations, as well as import and export them - added ARM support - brought back 32-bit support (WIP) - added QoS (bandwidth control) - added OpenAlias support - fixed all (previously broken) unit tests and core tests - implemented daemonize for proper backgrounding of the Monero daemon - drastically increased sync speed - included block headers in the source - designed and implemented a stealth payment ID scheme - designed and implemented a unified address+payment ID scheme - implemented a hard fork mechanism - changed the block time to 2 minutes - implemented the MRL-0001 and MRL-0004 recommendations - added tons of simplewallet / rpcwallet / daemon commands - added a dust handler to simplewallet - created a multilanguage mechanism, implemented in simplewallet - bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes - completely overhauled the CMake (with the help of Kitware, the creators of CMake) - added a bad peer auto-banning mechanism - refactored a ton of code, added a ton of comments - added a core crypto implementation based on SUPERCOP ref10 - switched to a triangular distribution for output selection - added multiple new mnemonic wordlists, including Russian and Italian - created a "trusted daemon" system for remote daemon use[/li][/list] In total this represents 922 commits worth of work by 9 contributors. This will probably be the biggest release in Monero's history, everything from here on out can be done as faster point releases. Updating: Blockchain Conversion It is highly recommended that you delete the contents of your Monero working directory and sync from scratch. This directory can be found in ~/.bitmonero on Linux and OS X, and on Windows in \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero or \ProgramData\bitmonero. Syncing from scratch is EXTREMELY fast in this version, pretty much at bittorrent speeds, and will leave you with a fully verified blockchain. Alternatively: if you want to grab the bootstrap (NOTE: there is a new bootstrap format!) off the website then you can get it at https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw - once downloaded you can import it with blockchain_import --input-file /path/to/your/download.raw. If you're particularly brave you can pass the --verify 0 flag to skip verification during import. If you REALLY want to convert your old blockchain: you can either use the blockchain_converter tool, or you can use blockchain_export to create a blockchain.raw, followed by blockchain_import to import it into the new LMDB format.

While we are waiting for 0.9, there are 2 new betas available. Always treat betas with caution ( not recommended to use for funds, just testing) and make sure to upgrade once the official binaries are released! Windows 32-bit from hyc, the guy from LMDB ( https://github.com/hyc): Windows 64-bit from fluffypony: Again, make sure to upgrade once 0.9 is released!P.S. Both links were posted in #monero @ freenode. |

is there an open pool software somewhere worthy of recommendation? I can tap a LOT of xeon cores but don't want to spend a lot of time on it. they are behind a draconian mitm cert and whitelist firewall, which makes it a bit complicated.
((Ob. my favorite soft: if the freeze−kill on ukraine/russian wheat turns out worse than expected, we could see 600 by March - 750 even. It all depends on how much snow cover there is on the coldest night of winter. I had to reduce at 479 yesterday, since 480 wasn't going to happen. Now adding again at 469.))

Im having nothing but trouble with this currency ever since ive mined them.
Im using moneroX and it says synchronising with network and 0 connections!
What am i supposed to do?
honestly just bail on moneroX and use the beta binaries for the next release. Its CLI but its really not that hard. When in doubt, type help. Is it possible to import my wallet.bin into my monero online? You could send the coins from it to the online wallet using the daemon. Well i tried that some time back and it would not let me, telling me the transaction was too large, even sending one at a time failed, hence why im trying another wallet. Do you have your mnemonic seed noted down somewhere? With that you can simply restore the wallet using another client (such as MyMonero). |

It was supposed to be similar because of mnemonic seed used in electrum wallet. But this variant is bad - too similar to Electron's Atom editor logo. How about this?  Looks good in my opinion. |

It is interesting to note that the two big XMR rallies in June 2014 and March 2015 happened shortly after DASH rises. Not sure what it means, but just saying.
Might be due to a positive spillover effect. That is, a DASH rally brings (new) people and awareness to privacy oriented coins such that they research other privacy oriented coins besides DASH. @medusa13: I guess you are watching on a linear scale, whereas it generally is better to watch on a log scale (certainly with large swings that are salient in cryptocurrencies). On log scale the line is currently at ~150k sat. |

DASH is now back to where it was before the btc pump, monero soon to go below .001...
Conspiracy theory , monero developers (ponny, smooth) are on someone's payroll to stagnate development, postpone the release of updates submitted by others for as long as they can.
No it isn't, DASH was floating between 0.01 and 0.011 before the BTC run-up. The XMR/DASH has been relatively stable over time, floating somewhere between 1:5 - 1:6. However, seems to be breaking out a bit currently. Hopefully we can manage to get back into that area. |

After this attack (14 months ago) the Monero core devs refocused their efforts to strengthening the Monero protocol. Now we are close to reaping the full benefits of this in the 0.9 release, and anyone can compile the source now and see how much better it is.
Bitcoin also endured many attacks in its infancy, far worse than this one, it serves to make the network stronger. If you don't like it, that's fine. This is not something to invest in, it's an experiment. I find it to be a fun open source project with a great community that I like participating in and contributing my skills.
You all may turn me to the dark side (monero side?) after all  Really, we need more than one secure, private coin, right? We need a pepsi for the coke. Think of me like that mean ol school marm, I just want you to succeed and grow like a purty flower  In addition, nearly all of the codebase has been rewritten, cleaned-up and documented. Monero is really moving away from the original Bytecoin code which it forked from. |

Dash above $2.70 in every exchange but Cryptsy where it is reported at $2.49. Clearly no one wants to take advantage of that arbitrage opportunity and risk getting trapped inside their exchange. I wonder how long this situation can last? And more importantly where is the Dash Cryptsy volume coming from if no one is trading there? Any ideas? I'm trying to remember what happened on Gox in its dying days - there was massive arbitrage against other exchanges but I can't remember if the Gox price went much lower or higher. It was one or the other. The number of permutations of scenarios that could cause Minotaur's observation are many I imagine. Either fiat is harder or easier to withdraw than crypto and also if some cryptos are easier than others to get out then that could cause it. No one can know until the lid comes properly off I imagine. Sure is a slow burner. It went much lower, see -> https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/mtgox/btcusd (go back to the weekly chart). This was in the dying days though. Before (3-6 months before their "death") it was trading higher because it was allegedly easier to get BTC than fiat out. However, during the dying days, people preferred fiat because they thought it would be easier to get a (legal) claim on (less legal hassle than with BTC, since BTC regulation is still quite ambiguous in most countries, certainly with bankruptcy cases). |

Yes, fluffypony says that investing in cryptocurrencies to get a return is not a good idea and that it's better to invest in an actual service or productive activity. But George Soros made a billion in one day shorting the British pound. Currencies go up and down. Of course you can make money in currency speculation.
I think his words are commonly misinterpreted. If I recall correctly, he acknowledges the benefits of everyone that in some way contributes to the ecosystem. Regardless of whether that are speculators/investors/coders. However, he also thinks that creating some kind of service or productive activity is more beneficial than simply speculating. |

Just a digital mediaplayer from Apple that is kind of ubiquitous :-P More info -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunesDownloading it seems a bit of a hassle for specifically listening to missives, but some people asked if the core-team could also upload the missives on iTunes. So they delivered. Just press play on my link to listen to it :-P |

All alts except monero green on polo... Dash up 20% in the last 48h.
Perfect time to push the price up 10-20%...
Pumpers not welcomed here. I agree with him on this occassion though, would be nice to see it up as well. Even if that is qualified as "pump". EDIT: Also no need for hostility here. |
