I'm pleased to hear that subaddresses are on the roadmap. Sounds like it might be a little clumsy to use them, however: One slight caveat with this scheme is that when restoring a wallet from the seed, the wallet might miss transfers to subaddresses if they aren't stored in the hashtable yet. To mitigate this issue, for each account, the wallet generates 100 (a constant SUBADDRESS_LOOKAHEAD_MINOR defined in wallet2.h) subaddresses of indices beyond the "fresh" index. The wallet also generates 10 (a constant SUBADDRESS_LOOKAHEAD_MAJOR defined in wallet2.h) accounts beyond the current largest major index. This means that the wallet restoration process is guaranteed to find incoming transfers to subaddresses as long as the major and minor indices of the used subaddresses differ by less than those predefined numbers. Even if the differences are bigger than those, you can still make the wallet recognize the incoming transfers by just expanding the hashtable manually and rescanning the blockchain.
(from https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/2056) It sounds a little bit like the way Bitcoin handled change addresses many years ago, before the advent of HD address generation. Have a table of pre-generated addresses, and make sure you don't run out of them. It would be nice to have a more elegant solution for monero subadresses, one that eliminates inconvenience and complication. If I recall correctly, the hashtable contains 10k subaddresses by default, which should be sufficient for the normal user. Although, I agree that in the future we might want to look at a more elegant solution. |

Is there any benefit for the average user that simply hold Monero in the wallet?
Any rewards for long-term holders? some sort of stake rewards such as other PoS/PoI coins got Harvest/Rewards/Commissions/Dividends/Fee's just for keeping the coins/tokens inside the wallet.. offline or online wallet
Simple answer, no. |

Has anybody been having issues today trying to withdraw Monero from Poloniex? I submitted a withdraw of Monero from Poloniex and pointed it at my Monero wallet on my pc and now it's been half a day and no incoming transaction? Over at Poloniex it does show the transaction and it's marked "Pending." Not sure if I did something wrong or if there's a little glitch going on somewhere but.... Any suggestions would be appreciated  Dude you are not alone, i am also have similar problem but more worse  , when just yesterday they assure me that i can safely deposit my coin, lets see if thats not work i think i will try to change my web wallet soon  Hello guys i just transfer some coin from mymonero to poloniex then got error invalid transaction and i retry it again, and get same result and the third attempt i am using bitrex address and got same result
and after 5 minute after my last attemp my balance decrease but neither in poloniex nor in bittrex wallet receive my transfer
so my question
1. how to proof that i already sent coin ?
2. how to get back my coin? ( if it's just error in mymonero and acctually the transfer never happened, when the coin back again?)
thank you
If I recall correctly, Poloniex' XMR wallet has been disabled for about a day now. This means withdrawals won't be processed (yet) (i.e. they will get stuck on "pending") and deposits won't get credited (yet). Paging @dasgardo87 and @DisasterFaster as well. EDIT: Seems like deposits/withdrawals are re-enabled currently. |

Hello, I am new in the monero world and english is not my first language,
May be someone can help me? I tried to send some from mymonero to my Gui wallet. It dosent work, I got the message "invalid adress prefix". When I am checking my adress which I generated with the Gui interface, I noticed that it will not start with with "4". I made a new Gui wallet adress, the same again, without the starting "4". May be because there is no "4" I cant send? Some body has an idea, Thanks....
Does it start with a 9? If so, you likely have the testnet wallet option checked in the wizard.
No, it doesnt matter with or not testnet option I always get worse adresses, the last one without nestnet started with "A", I have win 10 system 64.
That's rather odd. Could you post a screenshot of the Send tab of the GUI? |

The only hitch is that the GUI window does not scale properly within a netbook's (setting it up as the cold/offline device) 1024 x 600 screen resolution. The GUI window fills the screen but the "Advanced Options" buttons at the bottom are cut off and rendered inaccessible as the GUI window cannot be moved around nor does it allow scrolling
Try the control/minus key combination that shrinks the screen image. It doesn't work. Even if it does work and shrink the size of the GUI window, it'll just cut off a lot more of it and therefore rendering more GUI window features/buttons/real estate inaccessible. The issue is that it doesn't allow scrolling when any part of the window is not visible/cut off. This is true on both Windows 7 x64 and Linux Mint 18.1 x64 on the same netbook. Apparently your issue was already reported earlier and has been fixed in master, which means it will be fixed in the next release. See: https://github.com/monero-project/monero-core/issues/754 |

Thanks for the links. The concise procedure quoted by bitebits (from saddambitcoin) above seems to be fine though. The only hitch is that the GUI window does not scale properly within a netbook's (setting it up as the cold/offline device) 1024 x 600 screen resolution. The GUI window fills the screen but the "Advanced Options" buttons at the bottom are cut off and rendered inaccessible as the GUI window cannot be moved around nor does it allow scrolling (not able to sign a transaction file as a consequence). Has this been reported before? Any solution? Is this something that can be fixed in future releases? Sounds like one of those edge case bugs. Could you open a new issue on Github with your issue, system specifications, and exact operating system? https://github.com/monero-project/monero-core/issuesHopefully one of the GUI devs will fix it for a future release |

Without a reliable and secure mobile wallet app, Monero will continue to stagnate. I hope it's the next one up the devs' collective sleeve...for real this time.
The MyMonero desktop and mobile apps are to be released soon^tm: https://github.com/mymonero/mymonero-app-jsThanks for the info. However, there's that unsettling "privacy trade-off" as it's still (someone else's) server-based. What's the difference between it and the MyMonero web wallet? Does the Android version at least offer the option to connect to a remote node that the user has control over? Otherwise, it defeats the whole privacy mantra that Monero strives for. Will the Android version be made available on an alternative distribution platform/repository (other than Play) like F-Droid or as a downloadable APK in accordance with Monero's privacy ethos? - There will be standalone (desktop) apps as well. Thus, you will be able to use the MyMonero app on any conventional system and on mobile. The difference is basically that desktop apps are arguably more secure than webwallets, i.e., they pose less risk for users simply because there are less attack vectors. I am not entirely sure if it will have an option to connect to a remote node under your control. To clarify, I'd advise to ask this in #mymonero (freenode on IRC). Also note that some people / users rather trade off some convenience for privacy. - Also not entirely sure, but I think it'll be the latter. I see. Thanks for elaborating. I tried the freenode/IRC thing a few years ago but unfortunately, I struggled in it. The forum format such as this one here is much easier for me to handle and deal with. Try the webchat if you simply want to join a channel temporary: https://webchat.freenode.net/Pick a nickname and set the channel to #mymonero. |
