Thanks for making that article. Furthermore, bear in mind that you can basically pay any Bitcoin address privately with Monero using xmr.to.

Oh wow, that is pure fire. Now I need a black one (to sign tx on XMR's opaque blockchain). "For usability, I hope the Trezor will be integrated in the “official” Monero GUI."Is that covered in the community-funded GUI spec or do we need another FFS request for a Trezor add-on/plug-in? How do we get "Official Native" Monero support on MyTrezor.com? [1] I don't think it would be that difficult to hook up the official GUI as user interface instead of simplewallet. [2] Once they merge it upstream and thus "sign" it. It will also ensure the firmware updates automatically. Trezor indicated they are interested in merging the code upstream. See: <NoodleDoodle> @fluffypony not yet, I'll work on osx/linux this weekend and see from there. As for the firmware, I'll request a pull upstream once I've added it to github. They are interested in merging it upstream. From: https://getmonero.org/2016/03/05/overview-and-logs-for-the-dev-meeting-held-on-2016-03-05.html

How is the safety of the monero web wallet?
And somebody told me that devs are working on an 1 click instal wallet, when will this one be released? thanks!
It is considered trustworthy because it is run by Fluffypony, a core-team member of Monero, but I wouldn't store large amounts on it. See: Well it would be nice if the team or somebody else can develop an user friendly 1 click wallet right? Would also gain more people and attention...
There is also a simple web wallet I see, is it safe option as well?
It's from fluffypony, who is a core-team member, thus considered safe as in trustworthy. However, one should always be cautious with using webwallets. More specifically there have been successful thefts. Fluffypony explicitly recommends not storing too large an amount there, and instead using it for convenient access to smaller amounts. Is there a thread or such detailing that? This one for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/491gbj/i_lost_some_monero_that_i_had_on_mymonerocom/d0ocdpmBut like fluffypony explains in the comments, it is not the webwallet itself but all the (potentially weak) links between (and including) the users computer and the server (the ISP, the VPN provider, TOR exit nodes, CloudFlare, etc). So only use it for pocket change, like your 'real' wallet. +992983741982371023 I'm in the process of making that a little more clear on the wallet creation page, since I fear for people using it as a form of cold storage. Every time they login they risk their funds getting swiped:/
Regarding an one-click wallet, there is someone actively working on the GUI, see: https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/2476/the-official-qt-gui-projectHis work and the activity can be followed on: https://github.com/mbg033?tab=activityhttps://github.com/mbg033/monero-corehttps://github.com/mbg033/bitmonero

... or the time and inclination to become more computer literate shake hands. ...
I'm not trying to nag or berate you guys who refuse to try the simplewallet command line interface, but it is really pretty straightforward, and in light of some guy losing 32k XMR from mymonero, it's something that might be worth ten minutes of your time. Let's assume you use Windows, and that you understand what files and folders are on your computer. Download simplewallet and unzip it into a folder called Monero, or whatever. Double click simplewallet, type in a name for your new wallet, let's say mywallet, and press enter. Type in a password for your new wallet, and then be absolutely sure to write down your 25 word seed. Close simplewallet. You should now have a file called mywallet.address.txt in the folder with simplewallet. Open mywallet.address.txt; this is your address - you can send coins here and not have to worry about exchanges goxxing or cryptsying or unknown vulnerabilities in web wallets. Damnit, now you've done it. I happen to have a few hours free, so here we go. Currently downloading on an ultra-slow connection. You might also be interested in the guide I've posted above. It is a bit more extensive and will take a bit more of your time, but it is meant for cold storage, which basically means that your coins only can get stolen by physical access.

There is enough 278.475450179850 xmr including unlocked dust 1.247663779850 I wonder why balance differs after two digits after comma where dust begins. I am not good at math [edit]: I am OK with that unusable dust, just hope everything works correctly. From IRC: <moneromooo> I think the <1e-2 part should be the same, yes. Maybe I'm missing a case. <moneromooo> The sweep_dust failure is likely because it's dust that's too small, that is it's less than amount needed to send itself. <moneromooo> Nothing can be done about those, except wait to see if fees go down later. <moneromooo> One *could* pair a large output with a tiny dust one, and send, but you'd lose the dust and more of the large output than the dust, so rather pointless.

I'm going with polo-pump. We'll see....
Even if that is the reason, the high volume and price increase probably attracted a lot of new awareness.

If it was just an unrelated pump and there is nothing at all behind it, we could see 100k again.
If XMR is on the move, you should be buying instead of reading. Any price starting with 0.00 is good.
I think it's an unrelated pump. It is no coincidence that XMR went up alongside NEM, ETH, MAIDSAFE, etc. All of those coins have something in common: they are predominantly traded on Poloniex. This run likely has little to do with XMR's properties. It has everything to do with where XMR is traded and the fact that XMR could go up easily. This is a "polo pump." Many polo-coins will take turns getting pumped until the money that is concentrated on polo flows back out of polo Disclaimer: I've been wrong 1000 times. I beg to differ regarding properties/fundamentals:

I have a question how sweep_dust works. I have some xmr including unlocked dust: 1.247663779850I tried sweep_dust command and got Error: not enough money to transfer, available only 0.204482410000, transaction amount 0.460000000000 = 0.230000000000 + 0.230000000000 (fee) Is all your balance unlocked? Yes, it's unlocked. But I don't understand those amounts, that wallet said. I guess I have too many small transactions with dust - I made mistake withdrawing from Poloniex all moneroj including dust few times. Now I withdraw only round amounts. [Edit] Shapeshift also sends dust when exchange. I suspect you don't have enough fee to cover the sweep_dust transaction. Perhaps you could try to send a few additional Monero to cover the fee?
