Glad I could help!

On a different note, is it normal for the balance to remain unconfirmed for very long? After the first transaction I sent to the wallet, it was unconfirmed (and Balance=0), as expected. Then after maybe 10-20 minutes the Balance updated to the right amount as well, but "unconfirmed" didn't go back to 0... it's still showing the same amount as the Balance. It has been a couple hours now.

Should "unconfirmed" not go back to 0 at some point?

^ After much trial and error, I managed to get it to work. It looks like my assumption was correct and the space character in the "Program Files" folder name was the culprit.

When it was still in Program Files, no wallet files were ever created. I now moved/unzipped all files to another folder without any spaces in its name, and voilà, it works great!

If this is a bug and this is not the right place to post it, please let me know where to report it, I'd be happy to do so.

superresistant, maybe you'll want to add this information to the OP for the time being too? Could help save a few folks some headaches.

Thanks Febo, I'll try that next.

In the meantime, I found simplewallet.log. Might help with debugging. These are the last few rows:


A couple observations:

• ..\..\ normally references two directories up, but that would be C:\ in this case... not really sure what that is referring to
• C:\Program is cut off - I extraced everything to C:\Program Files\Monero\. Does this mean the software can't handle blank spaces in files or folders? Should I move it somewhere else? #feelslikedos

I'm having trouble with the wallet, I'd appreciate some insight.

1) I followed OP's tutorial to install the wallet. When I open CryptoNoteWallet.exe for the first time, it shows me the "Open Wallet" dialog and I click New, type in a name, and create it. Then it shows me another dialog window saying "Enter password", with a "Login" button. The question is, what password is it asking for, and where does it want me to log into? To the wallet I have just created? This dialog is very confusing because it doesn't have two password fields (as expected when you want to *create* a new password), but only one... and it says "Login". Please clarify what this password field does.

2) After typing in a new/generated password, it opened the daemon and started downloading the blockchain. So far so good, it finished fairly quickly and now it says "Status: Ready" to the bottom left. Now I closed the daemon without doing anything else, and later I opened it again because I wanted to send some MRO to the wallet. But now I get the exact same valilla "Open Wallet" dialog again - no wallet is in the dropdown list! All I can do is create a new one again and define a password again. Where did the wallet go that I created the first time around?

3) Repeat (2) over and over - it simply does not save my wallet. I have to create a new one each time I start the software. By now, I think I have 8 ghost wallets lying around somewhere on my hard drive... all with the same name, lol. Where did they all go?

Obviously I'm not convinced that sending any amount of MRO to this wallet software is a good idea right now... if it keeps forgetting my wallet, I'd just be sending the funds into a black hole.

Any thoughts?

I see your vodka and raise you a Margarita. At the pool. In Thailand.

what happened to this thread? Or maybe I should ask... what happened to this forum?

How do you figure 90%? That would be a pretty silly thing to happen to someone, especially someone working with btc all day... even to Mark.

I'm relatively new here, although I've been a long time Lurker as well, and I must say I agree with rpietila. This whole section has become little more than an epic trollfest. Scrolling through all the noise and reading the same troll threads over and over has become tiresome. If I wanted to waste my time participating in nonsense banter and kindergarten joke memes, I'd go to 4chan. I rarely visit this place anymore these days because it has become a big dump full of silly.

I don't have anything to say against some fun every once in a while, but it has clearly gone overboard on here. I fully understand your reasoning and your moving away from this... sometimes it's just time to move on.

sucks when you're suckt. Bank transfer is suckt for me. Hurry up earth rotation pls kthxbai

why? still? genuinely curious.

I think that just uses iframes - won't help. Just a guess, but if bitcoinwisdom is being dos'd, they might have temporarily blocked all non-us traffic as a blanket measure (assuming the dos/ddos is coming from non-us ips)

Welcome to Whale Wars™, Episode 4.

- the Stability-For-Prosperity rebellion has been doing everything to keep the price around 800. This has been going of for a few weeks.
- the Cheap-For-Grabs alliance has now launched a universe-wide attack in an attempt to bring the price down. Huge dumps in conjunction with DOSing major charting apps and forums are aimed at blurring the rebellion's vision so they can't react and buy back before it's too late. The second goal is to hide the market movement from the small fish until the price goes down a lot (if it goes down), at which point the DOSing will stop so the fish see the huge drop in surprise and start panic selling.

It's doubtful whether the alliance's plans will have the intended effect, but the ride shall be a joyful one. This is history in the making guys.

@1500 dump... was it just me or did bitcointalk go down in exactly that instant?

correlation or... causation?!?? much drama

+1 for bitstamp or btce. Personally, I use bitstamp, never used gox.

Lucano, I enjoy your posts as well, though I have to say I've been wondering why you're still sticking with gox, knowing all the issues they are having pretty much everywhere. I (and I'm sure many others) simply don't trust them. Just look at the charts.

In any case, thanks for the time you're putting in and I hope to read more from you in the future.

Slaxt, I'm sorry, but it wasn't just to a specific person.

1) you wrote "NO BEGGERS" (sic!) in your OP in the biggest font, in bright red. Again, in your OPENING POST.

2) you rudely repeated "NO BEGGERS" (sic!) in reply to dr_yan_yan on the first page. What did he write to deserve that? "Give them to me, because my address is Awesome!!" (He had a vanity address that started with "Frank".) Apparently, that joke was above your head and you took it way too seriously.

3) dr_yan_yan replied and said that he was only showing off his vanity address. That's all he said, and he added "haha" to it, just in case you didn't catch the drift. So what did you do? You replied, again, in a most rude way and wrote "Let me make this clear for you. NO BEGGING". The latter two words were again in a big, fat, red font.

After reading that, I already figured you must be a very unpleasant person, and I wanted to call you out for it just like Crypto-Freak did... but I decided against it because hey, this is a free place and I have no right to drop in your thread and take a shit on it, even if you're being a complete asshole. So instead, I decided to only give you a hint by making fun of your spelling errors... easy target.

Shortly after my post, you edited all your posts where you had written BEGGER and corrected your spelling. You left the big red fat font size in place, though. Go look at the Google cache version*. At the time of this writing, it still shows your rude OP (now deleted) and your third (now also deleted) rude post. You must have deleted your second rude post before this cache snapshot was taken, as it's not showing here anymore. But dr_yan_yan's quote contains that post, even though he lost the big fat red formatting in the quote.

So shortly after that, you decided to delete all your rude posts after all... guess you got the message eventually. Better late insight than forever an asshole, amirite?

NOW, when Crypto-Freak takes the time to give you some well-meant, polite advice... what do you do? You are being a dirty liar. Nevermind that you opened the goddamn thread with "NO BEGGERS" (sic!) in font size 8000, or that you harassed dr_yan_yan in the rudest way - twice. No, now you also lie through your teeth about it.

I normally just ignore idiots like you, but you are being such an incredible asshole about it that I just had to make this post. An honest and right response on your part would have been to say something along the lines of "yeah bud I might have gone overboard with that, took it off now, thanks for the input". You wouldn't even have to spell out that you're sorry. Just acknowledging the feedback would have sufficed.

Or, in case you disagree with him and me, you could have made and defended your position. That actually requires you to have balls though... or, you know, integrity. It would have made people respect you, even though your opinion is not our opinion. I would still have thought that you're an idiot for ridiculing people that way, but hey, at least I would have had a tiny bit of respect for you.

But no. Instead, you decide to lie about it all and play it down and even bribe the guy, perhaps to clean your conscience, or perhaps because you think people who have been paid (even if it's some worthless "coin") tend to shut up more easily. That tells me enough about you as a person to turn my back on you in utter disgust. You're a rat.

...a rat that has the audacity to call others beggars. Unbelievable.

I'd say in general, yes, although I wouldn't say "surely"... there are lots of factors at play. I'm agreeing with your notion of manipulation though; I've come to the same conclusion, especially during the last couple of weeks. I'm no expert, and I'd love to be proven wrong if anyone has a better explanation - right now though, I think that's what's happening.

My question was rhetorical and directed at aminorex btw... I meant that citing fiatleak as a source for incoming fresh fiat is ridiculous (or for anything else, for that matter)

How do you know that's fresh capital? Does fiatleak have some super secret insight into each of the exchanges so it can distinguish fresh fiat from old fiat? And even if it really had that, which it doesn't, would it only show the fresh fiat transactions and ignore the rest?

lol! Mystery solved

Don't mean to crash your yelling party but it's spelled "beggar". You seem to use that word a lot so I thought I'd give you a heads up. Carry on.

hi!
