This just struck me. When we get range proofs a "queued transaction" option would be amazing. For those who are unaware with the introduction of rage proofs comes the scaling of transactions by number of outputs at log(n). This would massively reduce fees for a lot of users and atleast some amount of network load.  It would in a way allow monero to do micro transactions. Or something maybe pretty close to it.

So lets say we are talking about the gui. When you prepare a transaction right below the "send" button there could be a "queue" button.  Just queue up any sort of transaction that is non critical. If you want to make a donation to your favorite artist. Or you owe a friend some money but he isn't in a hurry to get paid back. Or you want to buy something but you aren't in a hurry to get it right away. Don't send it just queue it. Once you get a decent amount of things queued the fees would be drastically reduced. Up to 80% ontop of the already 80% savings being brought by range proofs.

And incentivizing people to queue in-order to save themselves money has the added benefit of saving everyone else who uses the network money too. Holy virtue cycle.

Note that queuing is more difficult in Monero as change outputs are locked for 10 blocks. You could, however, queue some transactions if you have multiple inputs.

I just made two xmr deposits to Kraken, but after 30 confirmations they are not visible there. Have you experienced this kind of delay? How long will it take? The xmr deposit address is definitely valid.

Usually xmr has been visible after 15 confirmations.

Note that you can always verify that your transaction arrived using:

https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/6134/how-do-i-as-a-sender-verify-that-my-transaction-actually-arrived

I have used https://xmrchain.net/ to do that. Good to know it can be done also by GUI. All my transactions are valid.

Still there is no sing of them at Kraken. The xmr deposit addresses anyway returned to Kraken, so propably they have also the seeds of them, so they have not lost my xmr.

Then I'd advise to contact their support.

ok. I hope someone here can help.
I hope some of the first group of people that adopted monero at its inception were there for boolberry as well.

I have a honeypenny wallet that opens using the old simple wallet of 2014 (password works). it will not recognize the modern daemon so although it opens, I can not access the coins in the wallet.

the new simple wallet now gives me an error of invalid password. so I cant open the old wallet with the new simple wallet.

I am hoping those that mined both coins can help me recover my old wallet. I am hoping as monero and honey penny were born from the same essential code, maybe I can get help here.

I have not gotten much help at boolberry. They are busy reviving the project and I am probably a distraction for them.



Can you be more specific about what error you're incurring? Perhaps a screenshot?

Honeypenny wallet that holds some coins. The wallet is from may 2014 (software version).
I can open the wallet with the simplewallet from the same date. Both are prior to name change to boolberry.
This wallet however will not recognize the current daemon (2017 version. )
https://imgur.com/M6YJFou


when I try to open the wallet with the 2017 version of simplewallet it gives me invalid password error.
https://imgur.com/4B1pElP


I am using the keys file to open it as I am getting genesis block missmatch. The reason for this was that Cryptozoiberg had to restart the network and the genesis block changed. In a post shortly after he (or she) had mentioned that this genesis missmatch can be corrected by using the keys file.

however, it looks like that old solution does not work now.
I am hoping someone else has some ideas.


I can


Two things:

1. Can you type "help" into the wallet and post a screenshot.

2. Can you try running the old wallet with the new daemon? Or does it then not connect to the new daemon?

I've been exploring and trying to set up a node running in one of my local PCs (Windows 7) for the intent purpose of allowing Monerujo to connect to it as my private node instead of using one of the public nodes for obvious reasons.


These are my port forwards (DD-WRT router):


These are the args inserted in the monerod Shortcut Target:

~monerod.exe --rpc-bind-ip 0.0.0.0 --restricted-rpc --confirm-external-bind


I then used the following node address in Monerujo as my (private) node address:

EXT.WAN.IP.ADDRESS:18081


Unfortunately, Monerujo says: "Cannot reach node! Try again or another." Is there anything I missed in my setup? Since I'm definitely networking/CLI-challenged, I wouldn't be surprised.


I also tried it on a Windows 7 GUI wallet (netbook) for good measure but nothing happens when I click on "Connect":



That's the correct command / setup (though you might want to add the --rpc-login flag too to set a specific login + username). Can you check if your ports are properly opened / forwarded?

Okay, trying to catch up to the latest transfer changes here. The command for transfering is the following:

transfer [<priority>] [<ring_size>] <address> <amount> [<payment_id>]

1. What is the lowest priority? I read somewhere that 0 means normal (aka 4x) and 1 is unimportant (x1). is that correct?
2. How much is 1x? 1 times what?
3. Are zero fees not included?
4. I looked at a block explorer and there are many blocks smaller than 300 KB. Am I correct in my assumption that this means any transaction will be picked up by miners in such a block? (<300KB)
5. I remember there are restrictions added to ring_size. Is that true? Is there a minimum now?
6. How do you select again which inputs get used? (or predict which will if it's an automatic process)

Thanks!

1. "unimportant" is the lowest priority. You can make this default by typing "set priority 1".

2. It's related to the dynamic fee algorithm. See: https://getmonero.org/2017/12/11/A-note-on-fees.html

3. Zero fees are not possible with the default CLI/GUI wallet. However, fees are not enforced on a consensus level, i.e., you could theoretically tweak the code, compile it yourself, and broadcast a transaction with a fee lower than the unimportant level.

4. If the mempool is lower than 300 kB (and your transaction is in the mempool), the miner will include it in the next block.

5. Yes, 5 is the minimum. If you simply leave out the [<ring_size>] of your command, it'll use 5 as ring size. In other words, transfer <address> <amount> will use 5 as ring size.

6. As far as I know, you can't literally choose them yourself (you can choose a different amount to get different outputs though). However, you can use "set print-ring-members 1" and it'll show you which outputs the transaction will use. Furthermore, it'll warn you if you are trying to spend multiple outputs that are detrimental to privacy, i.e., outputs that came in the same transaction (for some reason) or two outputs from two transactions from the same block.

Hopefully this sufficiently answered your questions.

I am a new to Monero and running into some issues syncing the blockchain for the first time. 

I downloaded and ran monero-gui-v0.11.1.0 . The sync was taking over a day and still had a lot left so I looked for ways to speed this up. I read you can download the raw blockchain (https://www.monero.how/tutorial-how-to-speed-up-initial-blockchain-sync) imported and finished the sync. Once it finishes I save and shut down the daemon.  I launched the gui and it tries to start syncing all over again.  Am I doing something wrong? I thought the blockchain was fully synced and downloaded and I don't know if it will ever finish syncing through the Gui. Any suggestions on getting the blockchain to sync faster through the gui? Thank you for your help!

See:

Note: This sync actually involves two kinds of syncing. First, the blockchain sync, which is basically downloading the blockchain from other nodes / peers. Second, the wallet sync, which is the wallet “refreshing” / scanning blocks looking for transactions belonging to your address / wallet. The GUI is currently using the same status bar for both syncs, which can be a bit confusing to newcomers. Fortunately, this will be fixed in the next release. Thus, if you see the “Blocks remaining:” starting all over again, it’s the wallet refreshing.

i can not start the monero-wallet-gui.exe. Windows says "It doesnt working anymore, solution finding" So it ist my first touch with Monero Wallet i can not install. What could i do to solve this problem?

Try this:

If the GUI doesn't start on Windows, or starts with a blank screen, then try launch it using the start-low-graphics-mode.bat batch file.

Trying to download linux and macos wallets 2 days in a row! Speed is 7-30 kB/s, and it is not my ISP! All other downloads is just fine. It is like an analogy you have premium and free downloads and free one just soooo slow.

Use the Github links:

Is this normal? Help a newbie here.

I created a monero wallet 2 months ago to start mining.

Now that I am almost being paid, I checked wallet adress, and it isn't what entered on pool miner configurations.

After some googling, I went to https://xmr.llcoins.net/addresstests.html both are valid monero adresses, but suposedly "Netbyte + 10" should be the same and it isn't.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Which wallet did you use to generate an address?

AFAIK, the only wallet I created 2 months ago...


EDIT: no wait, I did create another wallet on my laptop. I really don't know why. I just restored the original wallet from backup.

People, do backup your wallets. I was already sweating trying to understand this.


Good to hear you managed to resolve your issue.

I just downloaded the monero desktop wallet.  can i deposit to the address given to me while the blockchain is still syncing, or do i need to wait for the syncing to complete? thanks

Yes, but you won't see the funds until you're fully synced.

How can we check the balance of our cold storage?

I try with this http://xmr.llcoins.net/checktx.html but I get this message:

Failed to get transaction data! Perhaps MoneroBlocks is down?

You can use either of these guides to verify that your transaction correctly arrived at your cold storage address:

https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/6137/how-do-i-as-a-recipient-verify-that-my-transaction-actually-arrived (useful if you withdraw from an exchange to your cold wallet)

https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/6134/how-do-i-as-a-sender-verify-that-my-transaction-actually-arrived (useful if you used the GUI/CLI to send funds to your cold wallet)

However, if you want to set up a proper view wallet (which also monitors outgoing transactions), see step 1 to 6 from here:

https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/2868/is-there-any-way-to-construct-a-transaction-manually/2916
Thanks dEBRUYNE, it was useful.

Now I just want to check if my understanding is correct.
If I have made 2 different tx to an address, is it normal to only have displayed the outputs associated with one tx when I use the xmrchain block explorer?
I can only do a research with one tx id in order to display the outputs linked to that tx, and I should do the same thing with the second transaction, therefore I will never have displayed the sum of the outputs linked to two transactions, is that correct?

On a block explorer you can only "decrypt" transactions on a case by case basis. By contrast, if you set up a view-only wallet it'll be able to see all incoming transactions to it.

This may be of help too:

I've got an inscription in mymonero
"Your account is catching up, your details may be out-of-date until it is finished (38189 blocks behind). This is not an error, and you do not have to do anything except wait until it is complete."

Yesterday was 37570 blocks. Guess it will take a very long time. Transactions doesn't work. Please tell me what can I do to send my XMR now? Huh

Can someone explain to me why you would have extra code at the end of your wallet address?

Example:    423XT9hcut3gQR6kw5pPpSXivmW1m3PqA2nLHGLbx5RzbSynrRUZizPN5EW2kDDZAafZrQTsY2utxTF gQAryiiCgFgQhi71.4d8ddccc40568d93
 
After the address you have .4d8ddccc40568d93     Is this a payment ID or something used by mining pools.  An integrated address?  If so how is this code generated and how do you find or chose one for your wallet or mining pool if applicable

Thanks

Is that from "show_transfers"? If so, it's just formatted improperly. That is, it shows address - amount - short/encrypted payment ID, but there should be spaces between them in order to have proper formatting.
