I may be missing something obvious but I don't see it.
I'm running the monero gui on Linux (64 bit). It seems to be working fine but I can't find any way to exit it. I have to go to the terminal, enter ps -ax, find the pid, and kill it. There has to be an easier way. On the mac there's a menu to quit from. No such menu on Linux.
Typically you can right mouse click on the application in the left side bar and subsequently quit/exit. |

Even with setting priority low on all the monero processes the blockchain synch is bogging my system to the point of unusability. I have a 6 core system and thats pretty unacceptable that I cannot synch in the background. Win7x64.
I can mine watch video's browse multiple streams and play games on this system but not synch. What is the deal with that?
It could be that an HDD with a slow writing speed is the root cause of your issue. |

I am using linux ubuntu on laptop with ssd. Sync could take like 3 days. That is the estimation. Laptop has not been on all the time. The blocks from 0 to 1,200,000 synced in about 10 hours. But the last 100,000 are very slow.
Any ideas how to speed up the sync?
Is your system relatively old? Also, is your bandwith somehow limited? Usually it shouldn't take this long on a decent system with an SSD. |

Regarding lack of documentation, see phishead's answer. The forum has been quite inactive since the beginning. It is currently mostly used for forum funding system proposals.
Newbie can't write reliable docs, isn't it? Forgot to answer this. Anyway, everyone, even newbies, is entitled to make a pull request to website to either update existing documentation or creating new documentation. Other contributors could make remarks on the pull request and suggest edits. Of course, you are correct that some knowledge is needed to work on documentation. In addition, like phishead said, in an open source project there is no central authority responsible for creating documentation. Hence, it's up to the contributors and community to create and maintain documentation. What does it means "forum funding system proposals"? To gather money for forum's maintenance?
See smooth and nioc's answers. |

supposedly this helps:
./monerod --out-peers 1 --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --db-sync-mode fast:async:1000
If I recall correctly, this only works if you have another node (that is already fully synced) running on your local network. |

Synchro lasts for a long 3 days, and not finished yet. Are you stuck on a certain block? Or is it just slowly fetching new blocks? It took 4 days to sync with blockchain, which is only 17 GB in size. Seems too long. Are you using an HDD or an SSD? Sync time is largely dependent on what kind of system you use and whether you use an SSD or HDD. |

There is a lot of messages like this: 2017-05-28 10:14:35.411 [P2P9] ERROR net.p2p src/p2p/net_node.inl:819 [27.0.235.18:18080 OUT] COMMAND_TIMED_SYNC invoke failed. (-3, LEVIN_ERROR_CONNECTION_DESTROYED) Is that OK (that there is A LOT of them)? Not necessarily a problem. Is there no way to filter out dead nodes faster?
You could delete p2pstate.bin. On Linux it's in $HOME/.bitmonero. Note that this directory may be hidden. On Linux you can generally unhide directories with CTRL + H. |

Wallet will not sync. It freezes at a certain point.
To clarify, it is stuck on a certain block right? Could you post which block? Also, which wallet are you using and on what operating system? I have two W7-x64 each running GUI and another W7-x64 with both GUI and CLI. All are 0.10.3.1. I don't think the issue is related to a particular block as all my nodes are stuck at different blocks; I guess depending upon when they were last synced. In my case, I last synced each one of them successfully at different times yesterday. It seems they all got stuck when I tried to sync them today (blocks 1317541, 1317523, 1317324 and 1317397). Could both you and Fire Rabbit try to add the following flag: On Windows the full command becomes as follows: monerod.exe --block-sync-size 20 Note that this command should be executed from the command prompt. If you don't know how to open the command prompt, it is done as follows: Go to the directory the monerod 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 aforementioned command. On Linux and Mac OS X: ./monerod --block-sync-size 20 Note that this command should be executed from the terminal. Will do. Can't I just put the flag in the "Daemon startup flags" field in GUI in addition to my "--data-dir" flag that's already there (explicit data directory location)? Yes, that should work too. Coolness! The flag works. Nodes are syncing again. Thank you. Is this something to be fixed in the next release or do we have to keep using this flag from here on/moving forward? Just thinking ahead. Not entirely sure if the block size batch will be lowered for next release. I think, however, that it might be prudent to do so, because I've seen numerous people getting stuck on a certain block. |

I use GUI beta2 and I can not sync to node.moneroworld.com. Log records are displayed：
2017-05-27 10:53:28.488 INFO global contrib/epee/src/mlog.cpp:145 New log categories: *:WARNING,net:FATAL,net.p2p:FATAL,net.cn:FATAL,global:INFO,verify:FATAL,stacktrace:INFO
2017-05-27 10:53:28.490 ERROR msgwriter src/common/scoped_message_writer.h:94 Error: Couldn't connect to daemon
Error: Couldn't connect to daemon
Does anyone have this problem? thanks
It could be that node.moneroworld.com is offline. Could you try node.xmrbackb.one? |

Where is to start with 'monero-wallet-cli'? 1. I have read the 'Getting started' guide and didn't found the answer to obvious questions. 2. I noticed the forum is spammed and abandoned. Is that over now? Thanx for suggestion, but I feel comfortable with cli tools (specifically, with 'zcash-cli' and bash). The question is about the lacking of documentation and death of the forum. It will never become mass-adopted with such approach. Who is going to make the change? Regarding lack of documentation, see phishead's answer. The forum has been quite inactive since the beginning. It is currently mostly used for forum funding system proposals. |

First and foremost, please don't post or use any links from monero.org. It is not run by the core-team and not an official website. Syncing from scratch is generally faster. However, if you use --verify 0 to import it may be faster. Note that putting verify off is quite dangerous if the blockchain isn't your own. That is, with verify off, the import binary won't verify any blocks whilst importing. It is generally advised to use the import binary with blockchain.raw if you are limited on bandwidth. |

Nice push to new ATH in USD terms and broke the $500,000,000 market cap barrier today. Things are are looking up for Monero, and for crypto in general as it passes $70 billion market cap.
