Is there a web wallet for this alt coin?
Yes, MyMonero, it is run by one of the core-team members, namely Fluffypony. However, always use webwallets with the usual caution. That is, it's not advised to store larg(er) amounts on it. https://mymonero.com |

Protect them from being stolen. If the pubkey is revealed quantum computing is able to steal his coins. If you move them to a new address it won't reveal the pubkey of that address, unless you reuse it.
OK, I went and read about it. So, they can't break new 'unused' address, but still they will know that money were moved and now lay at that address. Am I right? Yes that's right. Also the protection only exists while the address are sitting unspent on the blockchain. When you try to spend you have to reveal the public key so QC could still be used to break it during the interval until it is confirmed. That greatly narrows the time window (from years to minutes) and would require a faster QC to be effective. The comments about moving to Monero (maybe in jest?) are off-base. Monero would also be broken by QC and we don't have the protection of publishing hashes of public keys either. Of course we were jocking. I read an article by Vitalik Buterin concerning QC and there were mentioned Lamport Signatures as a solution. Alternatively winterwitz signatures, both are really inefficient at the moment though. |

on my wallet i tried sweep_dust and transfer 100xmr all failed.
There is a known issue with sweep_dust sometimes not working. That is being addressed in a future update. As far as the other, we're taking a look at your log file, but GingerAle's suggestion about going on IRC is a good one. Sometimes it is best to be able to ask questions and try things in real time. I have a wallet that has been around for a long time and have synced every once in a while. I received an error when I first ran the bc_height command, but the second time I tried it, it ran and went through all the blocks and that was good to see. But now I have the dust fee problem. I tried to sweep a small bit of dust from my wallet, it seems that it did not go through, so now there is a 0.02 fee that is stuck in outgoing. Is there a way to remove it or will it go away? I also tried to sweep it again because it showed dust still there, but it errored. Does it even matter? It's just there in outgoing now for hours. Also the 0.9.3 doesn't refresh automatically or in the background that I could see, but typing refresh does it. Can it auto refresh? kind of a good thing, like it did before with previous versions it is good to see it sync and then check your balance. As far as I know 0.9.3 should auto refresh. As far as asking a bunch of specific questions about your wallet the best bet is to jump onto freenode IRC #monero and ask on there. There are definitely some known issues with sweep dust. In most cases, I would suggest waiting for an update. This board is available to search and documents the answers, so why ask to go to #monero? 0.9.3 doesn't refresh, so why is that? This could be a problem where your coins are stolen and since it doesn't refresh, you may think they are still there, right? Is there a bug or is there a problem with my wallet? I can live with the dust problem. Can someone answer my question about the stuck fee for dust? Will this fix it? Sometimes, your funds will become stuck - you will have some locked funds that never become unlocked. This is how you fix it. Load your wallet in simplewallet. Type seed into the command prompt. Write down your 25 word seed, if you haven't already. This is the best way to make sure you don't loose access to your funds. Close simplewallet by typing exit Backup all of your wallet related files. These include: yourwalletname.bin yourwalletname.bin.keys yourwalletname.bin.address.txt This can be done by copying the files to a new folder. Sometimes, when creating your wallet, you might have named it something without the .bin part. In that case, the wallet file will be called yourwalletname without the .bin at the end. Delete yourwallet.bin Load simplewallet, type in the name of the wallet you just deleted Enter password. The wallet will now refresh and hopefully your locked funds will now become unlocked. Like I said, the bug was introduced in 9.1 and subsequently patched in 9.3. However, if you incurred the bug in 9.1 it will still be present in 9.3, because the daemon will still think some of the key images are already spent and therefore you cannot spend the funds. This requires a rescan to fix. I am not sure why we need documentary for this. Bear in mind that most of the people working on Monero are volunteers and in my personal opinion the time that would be needed for this could be spend better. Regarding refresh, autorefresh should work in 9.3. However, in case it doesn't work what is wrong with just typing refresh? |

Monero would also be broken by QC and we don't have the protection of publishing hashes of public keys either. Interestingly, Zcash notes a few quantum resistant possibilities (cryptography wise) that will still preserve your privacy. In the case that QC breaks Monero we could always switch to such cryptography. Quantum resistant cryptography usually has some trade-offs too, like huge transaction size and very inefficient transactions if I recall correctly. |

In retrospect, whenever I start telling other people about how well I'm doing on X cryptocurrency, that's historically been the best time to sell all and walk away for awhile. But I really haven't had the urge to do that yet, so I'm not selling anything.  Don't you mean when people (friends) ask you about it? Historically that was a pretty good indicator, means it is going into (or already is in) bubble mode. |

Supposedly this is a 5-qubit bitslice processor, hence scalable, although not yet proven by scaling in practice: http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.04512QC is coming, gradually at first, then quite suddenly. It really is time to panic, before the suddenly phase. What effect does quantum computing have on ECDSA and EdDSA is the question. Both will be broken by it as far as I know. Interestingly, since Satoshi's pubkey is revealed, he has to move this coins in order to "protect" them (i.e. quantum computing will make it possible to steal them). Since they are traceable, how moving them will protect them?  Protect them from being stolen. If the pubkey is revealed quantum computing is able to steal his coins. If you move them to a new address it won't reveal the pubkey of that address, unless you reuse it. |

My investments will be worth more by then.
I'd advise to stay rational here, there is a large probability that they will be worth less. Both XMR and BTC have an extremely large drawdown. |

Mixin = 0 transactions down to 0.73 over the last 24 hours: http://moneroblocks.info/statsBear in mind that mixin = 0 transactions are allowed as long as they contain one dust input. |

Changing the mixin hasn't helped. Still getting the same error. Could there be another issue?
Can you set your daemon log level to 1 and try again? It should give more details. Thanks. According to the log the tx has "used already spent key images". I'm going to follow the steps set out here (assuming they are still valid):
1. Delete poolstate.bin and restart node (also move/rename wallet .bin file again)
2. Make sure you have the current version
3. Make sure you are connected to the network with print_cn (daemon command)
4. Wait 24 hours and try again
Ok, so you may need to run "rescan_spent" in simplewallet as well as the above steps. Yes to clarify a bit the above "try again" had some context which included rescanning the wallet. Great thanks this worked. Only I refreshed the wallet, rather than rescanned. Didn't wait 24hrs though (life's too short). This is good that there is a process for fixing these issues, please make an effort to have a place for Monero owners to find out how to fix problems like this. Yes, I know it is on bitcointalk.org message board now in this post, but shouldn't it have been somewhere for someone to find before now? Quick question also: When I ran simplewallet on earlier versions, it went through a process after synching the daemon, where it would go through the blocks. Mine doesn't do that anymore on the latest version. My balance does show ok. Is this normal? It's hard to tell if everything is working ok if you don't send monero very often. The scanning is in the background now. You don't have to wait for it, but newly received coins won't appear right away, until the scan reaches them. This is good to know. I know you guys are really busy coding and everything, sorry to be a bit of a nag on the documentation, I like to know how to do something, before I know I need to know how to do something. The bug is inherent to the 9.1 version of Hydrogen Helix and is patched in 9.3 already. Therefore, I think it's a bit redundant to include it in the documentation. |

Hello I'm having a problem with updating my blockchain.
I'm using Hydrogen Helix 0.9.1
I was running bitmonerod and it updated the blockchain to -1 day (is that possible)?
Subsequently my com blue-screen and had a hard crash.
After rebooting and restarting bitmonerod it gave me the following log.
2016-Mar-26 00:01:47.340882 Added IGD port mapping.

I will appreciate if anyone can advise how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Could you try upgrading to 0.9.3? The blockchain is compatible and therefore you don't have to sync from scratch again. If you don't want to upgrade, try deleting p2pstate.bin from program data. https://getmonero.org/downloads/ (hashes are SHA256) EDIT: Worst case your blockchain is corrupt and you'll have to sync from scratch again. |

XMR loan offered at 0.0051%. Clearly somebody doesn't understand. I get more than that on my bank account LOL
Sometimes those are auto renew. May have been set up a while back when the rates were much lower, and left unattended. Every time it is paid back it will continue to be offered again at the same low rate regardless of market conditions. Understood, but the question remains. What is the point of offering free loans? Some may make a case for cheap loans. But that is ridiculous. Greed or race to the bottom. Also a bit of game theory involved. |
