I am not sure why you are getting this error, but the new release is really fast with syncing, so it might even be less of a hassle if you just sync from scratch again. Takes only 1 hour on a decent pc, with decent bandwith and an SSD. |

Well I haven't set up a 'new' (non-deprecated) wallet account yet on 0.9. I was just trying to import old wallets to the newest software for balance checks.
I have tried using nothing and also random passwords but simplewallet always gives the same error. 'Failed to load: invalid password.' This has me stumped considering others success.
This seems like a strange error, maybe possible edge case where an empty string password wasn't expected. Can you just import/open the wallet in the previous version (0.8.8.6 or older), and then move the coins to a new wallet, as a possible workaround? I would started with the oldest one available if you are going to go this route, that would be 0.8.8.3 on Github, see -> https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/releases (scroll down a bit). That might work, if that doesn't work either, I suggest contacting one of the devs (I think fluffypony has the most knowledge of it). |

Just to let you guys know. moneroblocks.eu is gone. moneroblocks.info is coming.
I forgot to renew the domain and GoDaddy "forgot" to warn me before hand so that they could try to extort an outrageous "Redemption Fee".
So that's that.
Seems like Moneroblocks.info is up and running. Moneroblocks.info replaces Moneroblocks.eu. |

I'm selling custom built miners. Or I can build them and run them in my basement for a fee. Or you can just send me monero and I'll keep mining monero. Something with mining. I know of at least 2 individuals that have hardware that they have silent because their electricity costs are too high and/or they can't find a place to house their stuff.
and eventually I'll have this monerodo device done which I'll be selling for monero, obviously. Now I'm debating if I should have the software update via github pull / compile or just download "official" binaries. Thoughts? I could also just have it checkout some version... though I've found it a pain to un-checkout things, or go back to head or whatever.
oh yeah. I speculate bananas.
Just curious, what's the cost of the miners you are building, and how are they different from say, your average mining computer? honestly all I would be doing is building a computer with as many GPUs as can fit on the board. The most PCI slots available on a mobo these days is 6 or 7. The trick to building these things is finding a case to put them in with proper airflow, but thats ultimately what you'd be paying me to do. And then making the mining software work and the pool software (so you could mine on your own node and get ALL OF THE BLOCK). Otherwise you could just throw one together yourself. Don't quote me, but I think I could sell a 1.6 kh/s rig for $1200. edited to add: which after 1 year (or whenever your done) you could then pull apart and sell the GPUs on ebay for probably 70%. I get what your saying, but I'm still really technically incapable of understanding how a "rig" work... Do you simply download the node on the same computer I'm using, and maybe connect the rig using usb or something which you set the rig to start mining? Is being able to use Linux a necessary skill in order to start running rigs like these? To clarify, I would have to ship a fully built computer to you. U would then plug in power and an Ethernet cable (to connect it to your home router). And then watch the monero and electricity roll in. I speculate Or you could just take those $1200 and buy Monero at this price and speculate on it being a better investment. It would certainly be easier. Certainly, but mining supports the network and therefore makes Monero safer, which arguably also contributes to its value. |

Here is another dumb question. I have an old wallet from the earliest days of monero and I know there is no password associated with it. I try to import it into 0.9 but it always asks for a password to access it upon simplewallet startup. What am I doing wrong here?
I think there were some compatibility issues when importing really old wallets (before 0.8.8.5/6 and mnemonic seed got introduced) into new clients. If I recall correctly, Fluffypony or MoneroMooo had a little trick to convert it into a new wallet, but I am not entirely sure how to do it. Could you contact either of them on IRC or here on Bitcointalk via PM? I am confident they will be able to resolve your issue. Just make sure you don't lose the files and properly backup them. |

Voting system of btc38 is broken as far as I know. Also, Counterparty has been on the top of that list for nearly a year.

Forgive me, but I think I'm remembering somethings incorrectly... but weren't ring signatures already implemented in Monero before hand? Ring signatures are inherent to the Monero protocol and achieve untraceability. Ring Confidential Transactions hides the amounts (amounts are, even though obscured, still visibile on the blockchain and therefore an attack vector) as well, therefore strengthening the anonymity of Monero. CT basically solves a bunch of loose ends of Monero's anonymity. Ring multi-signature is basically multi-signature (same idea as Bitcoin) for Monero including transactions with ring signatures (all those with mixin > 0). Previously, only multi-signature for transactions with mixin = 0 was possible. If I recall correctly, they will be indistinguishable from "regular" transactions. Hope all is clear now. |

I'm very concerned and want to educate you...
Bye  One of the best we had here in months  They are getting good. Melech is most likely Smooth or one of his operators Such conspiracy. His first DASH related posts are actually from five months ago. Also, this one kind of proves he is (or was?) holding MN(s) as well. I'm getting an error on dashninja trying to look at my masternode: page https://dashninja.pl/mndetails.html?mnpubkey=xxx{"status":"ERROR","messages":["3: Error writing file '\/tmp\/#sql3b30_867f29_0.frm' (Errcode: 28 - No space left on device)"]} |

2375 of 3150 XMR funded in 5 hours. Impressive. I can't use my wallet until Monday, but I'll throw a few XMR into the hat if any are still needed (which looks doubtful with this progress). Q Fully funded already :-) |

Nice 27k market dump today. These weren't borrowed coins. Somebody needed quick cash, probably because they were long something that got crushed. IOW, 27k XMR moved in a flash from weak to (relatively) strong hands. Congrats to the lucky bidders who caught that falling knife! I hope we revisit the 0.0009s one more time, so my stinky-skunk bids get filled.  It is somewhat positive that most of the decline can be attributed to this dumper and another 7k dumper. Few months ago it was just dumping non stop when Bitcoin went up. However, we haven't broke the altcoin-peg / correlation yet. |

luigi11111 pointed out that the recent update to the wallet generator to use custom entropy was broken in the way it got entropy from the user seed. A fix is now up on github. Since this had to be changed anyway, 10k iterations of Keccak are used to derive the seed from the user entropy, as suggested by smooth earlier.
Unfortunately, this means that the same string will yield a different seed, and therefore address, than the previous version. So if you did generate an address using custom entropy in the last few days, you should recreate it.
Thanks luigi1111.
This is a dangerous issue. Thank you for finding and correcting it so quickly. To be clear, this only applies to the custom entropy that was added last week. If you just use the normal entropy, you don't have to worry about anything. |

i`M really annoyed of this fungibility problem that bitcoin has, we should resolve this fast or bitcoin can become an instrument of tyrrany in the future. It is what is is. Bitcoin is first generation blockchain ledger technology that both by design and by culture and precedent is highly resistant to change. Maybe that will be good enough to maintain its lead in the market or maybe not. One thing we can be almost certain will not happen is that it won't be resolved fast. Just look at how slow this blocksize issue is progressing. In my opinion, fungibility is a way bigger issue in comparison with blocksize. I'd rather have a fungible blockchain that is constraint by blocksize than vice versa. If you think the blocksize issue sparked a heated debate, you are in for a surpise once this issue will spark a debate. agreed. It is a WAY bigger issue. There was some comment in one of these threads that said "invest in the sector, not the product" or whatever. Funny thing is, to me, there are two sectors. One sector is actual digital money - Monero, due to its fungibility. The other sector are non-fungible cryptocurrency networks, which have their purpose. And honestly, I'm starting to think that some in the bitcoin camp are fine with the lack of fungibility, namely because it increases the value of whitelist coins.I think it was industry and firm, nevertheless an interesting comment and I somewhat agree with your extension on it. It is also kind of subjective, simply depends on how malleable a certain industry is in your own perspective. Not sure why the bolded would ever be a good thing. If less people are able to use it due to coins being tainted (and subsequently flagged), the premium on their whitelisted coins will quickly evaporate. |

In my opinion, it is unnecesarry to heat up the debate like this until David Latapie has come online and posted/clarified here. Until then, everyone that is merely making wild assumptions, which may or may not be valid, is deteriorating the quality of this thread and the outside image of it.
