In addition to polo and bter, bittrex also supports it, along with hitbtc (not recommended), shapeshift, xmr.to. In the past Kozi's defunct exchange.to and mintpal did, and probably at least one or two other smaller/defunct exchanges.
Why is hitbtc not recommended? Many reports of faked volume (which I can confirm by my own experience trading there), problems with withdrawals (which I never experienced), etc. Here's one post that cites a variety of sources reporting some of these problems: my personal experience with hitbtc : (paste from a previous post) in february all withdrawal (btc,xmr...) were impossible during several weeks (don't remenber how many...). their communication was something like "our security is perhaps weak so the withdrawal are suspended, we inspect...".
Finally i can withdraw my funds the 24/02. nothing was lost but it was stressful. and i also suspected a high proportion of "fake" trade but i haven't any proof. i don't use hitbtc anymore and i will not. |

Hey guys. Looking to compile the latest from github on my ubuntu machine. Anyone have build instructions?
shortly, with ubuntu 15.04 install git and all dependencies: sudo apt-get install git gcc-4.9 cmake libunbound2 libevent-2.0-5 libgtest-dev libboost1.55-dev
then clone the github git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git and compile or make -j n with n=number of core to use according to your cpu you will find bimonerod and simplewallet in build/release/bin |

i don't recompile bitmonerod every week but i have been doing two days ago (commit #336)
because of the change in database format, i must re-dowloaded blockchain (i didn't try to export and reimport) and what a surprise: it was really quick!
on a 6 years old desktop, 4gB, hdd (you can't do worse), synchronizing was ok ~9 hours later. In my memory, the last time i downloaded the blockchain it was taking at least 2 days on this desktop.
so yes, the work on the blockchain is very impressive. and there is a lot of other improvement (on simplewallet by example, viewkey is amazing)
Let me just say thanks you to all contributors of the github.

indeed, on linux, to mine with several cpu the better way is to setup your own pool and use optimized miners. on windows, i don't see any solution to solomine productively... if you want to try simpleminer, use something like: simpleminer --pool-addr 192.168.x.x --login WmsSWgtT1JPg5e3cK41hKXSHVpKW7e47bjgiKmWZkYrhSS5LhRemNyqayaSBtAQ6517eo5PtH9wxHVmM78JDZSUu2W8PqRiNs --pass x --pool-addr : your aeond local address, it can be 192.168.1.5 or http://192.168.1.5 (according to your network) the port can be necessary so it can be 192.168.x.x:11180 or http://192.168.x.x:11180--login your aeond address --pass ? but i'm really thinking it will not working. it's coding to work with a pool. |

I have .aeon dir no .bitmonero and bootstrap name is aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64
no .bitmonero dir : normal, typo smooth corrected his post : Download the file and put it in your data directory before starting the daemon. For Linux that is ~/.bitmonero ~/.aeon but I don't remember the location for Windows.
EDIT: correct data directory name
bootstrap name is aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64: not normal, bootstrap name is blockchain.bin (~2.8 Go currently and must be located in /home/ your_username_here/.aeon ) you must use the link in the OP " bootstrap for linux-x64 (by community member Phantas 2015-05-05)" to donwload the file aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.tar.gz (~1.63Go). then you unzip and untar it in the correct folder. tar xzvf aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.tar.gz -C /home/your_username_here/.aeon |

You need gunzip this file and gunziped file blockchain.bin move to .aeon
Are you under linux-64?
Yes that I did. No success. Yes Mint 17, 64 , I work now from my backup 140 day old. in the OP, the file extension is .gz but it should have been .tgz (or .tar.gz). when you extract (with gunzip) "aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.gz" you obtain the file named "aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64" but this file "aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64" is a tar archive without .tar extension. it's confusing. to obtain correct blockchain.bin file, you must rename "aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64" in "aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.tar" in graphic mode or in cli: mv aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64 aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.tar then you can extract "blockchain.bin" as usual or in cli: tar -xvf aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.tar @Phantas: could you check your archive format (the one in the OP), i think the .gz extension must be corrected with .tgz  |

i have downloaded the wallet and blockchain. can anyone tell where i need to put the blockchain to make it sync faster
i guess you're using windows. launch aeond once (no matter the location) it will create a C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\aeon folder close cleanly aeond (by typing "exit") paste your donwloaded blockchain.bin into C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\aeon re-launch aeond |

Phoenix RC1 release candidate (for testing)
test is ongoing on win7 x64 (binaries building from source) no problems, blocks mined and accepted by the network, transactions sent and received as expected. |
|
|
|
There is a new rev of the bench test. I had neglected to update the block rewards after the hard fork. That is now corrected.
ubuntu 15.04 64 bits (intel Penryn/Harpertown without aes instructions, 4gb of ram) #1000: block reward 17.3-->70.3 diff x ~7.8 hashrate x ~2 |
|
|

Release Phoenix standalone test (PLEASE TEST!)
Done, windows 7 64 bits on intel Penryn/Harpertown (no aes instructions) / 4gb of ram ...blocks being mined with a block target of 1 second, with the difficulty converging to your hash rate happened Once you get to block 1000 ... see the difficulty increase by a factor of 8, your hash rate double #1000: diff 18 --> ~140-150 hashrate: 18-->41 test perfomed with my own building according to the OP instructions (thanks to Cryptrol ) |

Release Phoenix standalone test (PLEASE TEST!)
Done, ubuntu 15.04 [edit] intel Penryn/Harpertown (no aes instructions) / 4gb of ram Here's where the magic happens. You will see blocks being mined with a block target of 1 second, with the difficulty converging to your hash rate (eventually, but it usually gets pretty close within 5-10 blocks). exactly happened Once you get to block 1000 (about 15 minutes), it will switch over the to new PoW and a block target of 4 seconds. At this point you should see the difficulty increase by a factor of 8, your hash rate double (approximately -- depends on hardware), and of course the rate of blocks being created should slow down noticeably. #1000: diff 24 --> ~170-200 hashrate: 23.8-->52.4 no problems at first sight. |

mini wall (15btc) was eaten at 199k.
End of short position or new comer ? (i bet for the first)

If I remember correctly someone posted a 'How to' to compile and run the latest Monero + DB on Linux(Ubuntu or debian) some time ago. Can someone point me to this how to.
I do not find the how-to but the github instructions are OK. briefly on ubuntu 15.04, to make a "db" bitmonerod 1) install dependencies to compile sudo apt-get install git gcc-4.9 g++-4.9 build-essential cmake libunbound-dev libevent-2.0-5 libgtest-dev libboost1.55-all-dev [edit] not sure but you perhaps need libdb too sudo apt-get install libdb-dev libdb++-dev 2) download code source git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git a bitmonero folder will be created 3) compile move on bitmonero folder then make To save time, you can use parallel build. "make -j 2", "make -j 3" or more according to your cpu/ram power then wait. if all is ok, you can launch 4) launch executables can be found in build/release/bin daemon: wallet: 5) synchronization from scratch, leave opened bitmonerod and wait (expect several days) or you can try try to get the "in memory" blockchain at https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain/linux/blockchain.bin then test the blockchain converter. (sorry, i didn't do it so i can't help you on this point) ps: i'm not expert, i can make mistakes but it's what i have done. Question : is it possible to Dockerize ( https://www.docker.com/) the deamon, the wallet and the DB ? Has someone done this yet ? i dunno, i ask myself the same question! |

To answer those who say "Someone made a GUI for CryptoNote coins, GUI problem solved?" i personally don't see a problem. today we have at least: - bitmonerod : official client in command line - mymonero : unofficial lightweight web client, easy and compatible with official bitmonerod if you need - MoneroX : unofficial GUI, opensource, working good for several months - LightWallet : unofficial GUI, opensource, does not require running the bitmonerod local node usually here come the FUDers/trolls/etc... to say: "oh there isn't an official GUI !" and yes there isn't an official GUI for now because we don't need it quickly. the monero core gui will be done according to the roadmap : https://getmonero.org/design-goals/an overview is available, it's not a bitcoin-qt clone. ... And if that isn't to your liking, then maybe the Monero Core GUI is more up your alley. You can even compile the code and play around with the GUI (incomplete and not wired up, but fun to play with) - https://github.com/monero-project/monero-coreHere are some screen shots from this century:   ...  Best of all, the GUI is native (Qt) and NOT a cheap hack using HTML. let the world say what it will! |

I would like to announce that today i payed my lunch with monero:)
How, where? Forgot my wallet home today, one of my co-workers payed my lunch, i payed him in monero  18 moneros total Its an easy way to spread the word And it's cheaper than 2 pizzas @10000btc  |

... If it is ever super urgent, and I am asleep, all of the core team have my mobile phone number and can call me till I wake up.
oh!  Take care of your health and switch off the phone when you sleep. MyMonero unavailability isn't pleasant but it can wait for a few hours. Thats why you should never trust a webwallet, its your own fault, sorry for your loss  For the critical cases, MyMonero can be used in parallel with simplewallet. So no risk of losing control of your xmr. |

How to justify that, collateral damage?
No, if the Monero volume is fake (and I suspect it is) then it must still go. It's even more reason to remove it, in fact, as it would be unconscionable to let it skew Monero's trade volume with fake trades. I have no proofs but the " fake bot" is easy to notice. Every few minutes, an order appears on the first position of the order book, he is better 0.000001 xmr, immediately he is executed (partially but the remainder disappears). the trade history seems to be active but in reality, the order book don't change. There is no real activity. [edit] i don't look at the other market, i focused on xmr/btc That could also be my play-bot, playing mini-market maker. Dunno, just saying. Perhaps but i do not see a profit |
