Hey is today a dead cat jump day?
I think it could be.
Im worried by the fact AlphaBay is down, knowing that XMR being used in there it was a key factor that drove the price high almost a year ago, whats going to happen now? Back to 5$ soon?
Thanks
soon Moneros privacy/anonymity has been compromised for some time now. I'm surprised it even got this high knowing it's no longer safe to use. FUD from well known Troll. Yea sure all fud... look here for a nice blockchain analysis.... monerolink.com Oh wait isn't that supposed to be impossible? Hmmm.... |

Alright, I mined some of this when it first came out... before the windows wallet GUI was available.. now I'm trying to restore my wallet.. I don't have the seed, but I do have the monerowallet.bin.keys file... the problem is I appear to have lost my password... is there anyway to recover with just the .keys file?... because I dont remember what password I used
Unfortunately not. You either need the 24 (in case of older wallets) / 25 word mnemonic seed or the .keys file + the password. |

Why is Monero even selling down? Isn't it one of the better cryptocurrencies that's good to seek refuge in if sh*t hits the fan for BTC this coming August?
Do you really think that the price of Monero will increase if the price of bitcoin takes a dive,my general thought was that every coin will come down along with bitcoin if there is a crash,like everybody i am also confused and i converted it to dollars. Do you mean BTC split? It seems 87% of the miners currently support SegWit2x: https://coin.dance/blocks. There won't be any BTC split, right? Many sold for dollars - they'll return and many will panic return. My speculation is that XMR price suppression is coming to it's end. That's only intent to signal. Most of those miners aren't signalling yet. |

Currently, the GUI is useless in signing transactions offline due to a known and open window-scaling issue in some devices with smaller/lower-res screen (at least for me anyway) wherein the "Advanced Options" buttons at the bottom are cut off and inaccessible (specifically the "Sign tx file" button).
Until scaling is fixed I found this way to launch gui helpful: QT_SCALE_FACTOR=0.8 ./start-gui.sh Thanks for the tip. Where and how do I apply this string in Linux? Open the terminal from the directory of `monero-wallet-gui` (`start-gui.sh` is in the same directory). Subsequently type aforementioned command. Got it! Thank you. However, I just found out that on Linux Mint 18~, pressing ALT and clicking anywhere on a window (and not just on the title bar at the top) allows dragging it around beyond the screen/monitor boundary, thereby making it possible to then manually scale/increase the GUI window size with the arrow on the bottom right corner and reveal the cut off Advanced Options buttons. Very cool feature and a painless and an effective solution to the scaling issue. I only wish Windows has such flexibility so I don't have to deal with Linux. That said, I'm surmising that cross-platform transaction signing (i.e. generating an unsigned tx on Windows and consequently signing it on Linux) shouldn't be a problem, right? No, the files should be portable across different operating systems. |

It's supposed to be fixed in the next release but in the meantime, what are the steps to sign transactions offline using CLI (reluctantly due to CLI phobia but I'm left with no choice).
See: https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/2868/is-there-any-way-to-construct-a-transaction-manually/2916To create a view wallet, one has to add the --generate-from-view-key <view-wallet-name> flag. On Windows make sure to launch it from the command line. Go to the folder monero-wallet-cli is located and make sure your cursor isn't located on any of the files. Subsequently do SHIFT + right click and it will give you an option to "Open command window here". Lastly, type the following command: monero-wallet-cli --generate-from-view-key <view-wallet-name> On Linux and Mac OS X you should use the terminal to launch monero-wallet-cli. Note that this has to be done from the directory monero-wallet-cli is located in. The command is as follows: ./monero-wallet-cli --generate-from-view-key <view-wallet-name> I'm already good with creating an unsigned transaction with the online view-only wallet in GUI which runs on a desktop with a rather large monitor (not affected by the scaling issue). I just need to know the specific CLI strings/args to sign the transaction with the cold wallet on the offline device using CLI (and subsequently export it back to the online GUI wallet for broadcasting) since my offline GUI is unusable due the the aforementioned scaling issue. Thanks! You can still use the guide I linked. For every step that uses the "watch wallet" you use the GUI, whereas for every step that uses the "cold wallet" you use the CLI. For example, step 1 of the guide is as follows: Using watch wallet, export_outputs to a file*. Thus, for this step you use the GUI. Anoter example, step 3 is as follows: Using cold wallet, import_outputs from the file*. Thus, for this step you use the CLI. |

Very nice. However, I still don't see installation instructions especially in Linux (I had to watch an old youtube video to learn how to go about it the hard way). BTW, how do I create a shortcut for "start-gui.sh" on the Linux Mint 18.2 desktop? Pardon the noob question as I am Linux-averse due to CLI phobia but I'm trying to learn though. [1] It's up to community members to write documentation and add it to the website. [2] See -> https://askubuntu.com/questions/450266/an-easy-way-to-create-a-desktop-shortcut. |

Moreover, in Linux Mint 18.2, a usable GUI window appears under 30 seconds after launching while the same process takes about 8 minutes in Windows 7 on the same device. Note that the device is a netbook set up with a cold/offline wallet albeit a bit souped up with Windows 7 64-bit/2GB RAM/SSD (stock spec was Windows 7 Starter 32-bit/1GB RAM/HDD). Why this very significant disparity in starting time? Is Linux binary more optimized than that of Windows? This discrepancy seems rather odd, although I suspect it may be the same bug that causes black screens on Windows. See: https://github.com/monero-project/monero-core/pull/777
P.S. Please try Andretti83's suggestion as well, it may fix your scaling issues. If you don't know how to set an environment variable on Windows, see this guide: https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/2928/how-to-change-the-monero-wallet-gui-rendering-mode-for-older-computersObviously, you have to replace QMLSCENE_DEVICE=softwarecontext with QT_SCALE_FACTOR=0.8, as this guide was written for another purpose. |

Monero updates are so hard to come by. I wonder what the devs are doing at the moment. Been too long without updates guys...
You can check reddit for more frequent discussions, but for the major things, dEBRUYNE, GingerAle, and others do a good job with cross-posting announcements in this forum. https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/In addition, you can use this link to view all top stories of last week: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/top/?sort=top&t=week |

Back on business: Monero seems to have an undecided direction. The short time speculators have a great day, I guess.
Any idea what's next? 0.025BTC? Or I wish too much?
Polo has a sizable sell wall at that amount. I noticed it around six weeks ago...anyone know how long it's been there? I think we'll hit 0.025 BTC after multisig is fully released AND Coinomi includes Monero, both of which should happen "soon." It has been there since #fluffygate. |

Big jump in hash rate since I last checked, and a big drop in active nodes . People have moved coins where they need to be and settling in to wait...
MoneroBlocks was offline for a few days. Therefore, also keeping in mind that they most likely had to restart their daemon, it is probably not seeing all the (full) nodes yet. This geomap shows a relatively stable node count: https://monerobase.com/geomap/ |
