Regardless of any viewpoints on DASH, historically just about every major XMR rally is preceded by a DASH rally, usually by a few weeks. This is my observation, perhaps its merely coincidence but you decide. I'll be interested to see what happens this time.

Maybe they want to hold both. For instance, someone that already has all the BTC they want, but uses their income to buy another currency. Money flowing into altcoins is good for BTC, and good for everyone, I think.

Also if you are running a service that needs to use simplewallet in RPC mode to check if payments are received but you have no need to send funds remotely, it's good to enable this flag: --restricted-rpc: Restricts RPC to view-only commands

for example:
Code:
./simplewallet --wallet-file mywallet.dat --password demo123 --rpc-bind-port 18082 --restricted-rpc

Then you can check to see if payments are received.

In addition to other things such as firewall restriction you should read this post by Fluffypony on some basic ways to secure your network if you need to use RPC for sending and receiving:

Hard fork has a bad stigma because to date it implies "emergency!", but Monero is changing that. These are planned rolling hard forks. Every 6 months there will be code freeze where the new changes could be implemented 7 months after that.

Example timeline(paraphrased from Fluffypony's example in the Monero Missive):
Quote
Feb 15th: code freeze, new version is tagged and released
March 15th: 6 month countdown begins
September 15th and later: Hard fork can be activated! but ONLY if 75-80% of the blocks mined in the past week have been mined with the latest version. if not, no fork!

I like this practice. It's proactive, the community knows about it, there is consensus, the fork does not happen until there are enough nodes mining on the new version. It keeps development resilient and allows improvements/changes/features to easily be incorporated without the *panic* and fighting that we see in other crypto.

Look how difficult it is for Bitcoin to change when it needs to.

I miss the part where decentralized means "no changes, ever". If the community decides in the future that a hard fork is not wanted, they can indeed overpower the core team by not using the new version.

This podcast presents a good explanation of the reasoning behind the rolling hard forks:

Hear hear.

Let it be known that Saddam's Depository will be open for deposits and withdrawals as long as the changelog is active. If you have intended to make a withdrawal in the near future, please do so before the pause. Otherwise, your M balance will remain safely frozen until the game returns.

If you need to clear up a negative balance, please visit https://deposit.cryptokingdomgold.com for deposit info.

To reiterate, while the game is on pause withdrawals will be frozen.

Reasons:
The current withdrawal process requires that you initiate the transfer of M to New. Without this,
- I cannot verify that you are actually in control of your account.
- I cannot verify your actual M balance.

Thank you for your understanding!

One thing I have found with using Monero (simplewallet) on a regular basis, is that fees are highly variable due to the random input selection.

If you set "always confirm transfers" to 1 it will show you the fee before you approve the transaction, so I'll often try again if the fee seems very high, like 0.08 or something. Depending on the transaction amount it will usually go down to a reasonable 0.01-0.03.

I know it's just penny pinching Moneroj but who knows, maybe I'll be grateful in the long run for saving those Monero cents.
127  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: July 07, 2016, 01:53:00 AM
Need some help with simplewallet here:

I'm having an ongoing issue where outgoing XMR transfers do not make it into the next block, and sometimes not for several blocks.  This wreaks havoc with ShapeShift because they cancel the transaction if your deposit if it's not confirmed in a block within 10 minutes.

If Monero blocks are not nearly full like Bitcoin and miner fees are automatic, what else could it be?

Example:

Code:
[wallet]: transfer xxx........
Money successfully sent, transaction <xxx........>
[wallet]: bc_height
1085653
[wallet]: bc_height
1085654
[wallet]: bc_height
1085655
[wallet]: bc_height
1085656
Height 1085656, transaction <xxx........>, spent xxx........

Why didn't that xfer get included in block 1085654 or 1085655?  Thanks for the help!


I don't know how to answer the question but I had a tx in block 1085656, I wasn't paying much attention but I was surprised it took a few blocks to get confirmed. My only guess is with the rapid increase in activity and hashrate over the past couple days there seems to be a lot of variance at the moment...two blocks found within seconds then 10 minutes between blocks: http://moneroblocks.info/

Notice the tx per block is higher than average: http://moneroblocks.info/stats

I'm sorry to hear that Shapeshift is not recognizing the payment as soon as it hits the tx pool. Use xmr.to. I have communicated with a Shapeshift dev on how to get the payment id from the tx pool but I guess they are too busy or something...

Devs I heard official GUI wallet is nearing to completion. Is it true?

It has been said over and over again that there is no specific ETA, so why do bother asking? You can follow the work here:

https://github.com/mbg033?tab=activity

https://github.com/mbg033/bitmonero

https://github.com/mbg033/monero-core

I'd suggest determining yourself.

Just make stuff up!

Its going to be released in 2 weeks. I'm a troll dev. You can trust me.

Dear Troll Dev,

     There were 4 more pull requests merged today.  There were also several GUI commits.

         
Question please.  I believe that the GUI doesn't need a hard fork.  Is that correct?



That is correct. A GUI just builds upon the functionality that is already available in the command line wallet and makes it nice and shiny and fun and easy to use for everyone.

Hello there, I have sent some XMR to my local wallet. The withdrawal from poloniex is completed but the address on simplewallet shows no balance nor incoming payments. Any hint (the address I typed into the withdrawal form is correct)?

When I launch the command get_tx_key <tx_id> I receive Error: no tx key found for this txid


As far as I know this is only available for senders, i.e., if you send out a transaction.

need to set store-tx-key 1 first

or something like that

type "set" in simplewallet to find the right syntax

Code:
Error: refresh failed: no connection to daemon. Please make sure daemon is running.. Blocks received: 0

I get this error when trying to run a refresh on a new wallet. My daemon is running and fully synced. I can open other wallets and use them without error, just not a new one. Any ideas?

Got it working but the font looks like crap, I'm also tired so PM me tomorrow

Hey people. Does anyone know if there is a XMR version of this awesome tool? https://btc-priceimg.herokuapp.com/

I don't know python that well, but I believe I have added the functionality to get it to work using XMR and a call to cryptonator's api, however I can't seem to get the app working on a vm running apache2 on ubuntu.

I'd be willing to pay some xmr for some help on how to get it running on a vm so I can test it out without giving anyone access to my server of course.... The code changes are pretty simple, IMO, I just can't figure out from the source code / Readme how to get it up and running on a new server as a python app! Huh

Thanks!

I dont have much experience with Python but it appears to be a flask app, so this may help you deploy it on ubuntu:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-a-flask-application-on-an-ubuntu-vps

However it may be even easier to install dokku and deploy that way since this is ready to deploy with heroku. dokku is essentially a free version of heroku you can host on your own ubuntu server. I'm going to try that now and report back.

Just invested 2000$ in Monero, IT HAS POTENTIAL TO GO TO THE MOON!

Indeed. But, had you invested that 2k last week, you would have saved roughly 40 cents usd per coin! ... IOTW, this coin is not for people who think it will just always rise... This coin moves ... A LOT... Just strap in for the ride. I too dumped 1k into it again last night @ 1USD per coin! Smiley



It is hard to do but I think the best way of accumulating Monero is to have a disciplined approach of buying X amount every week or month, whatever is best for you. This way it is possible to have buys at the lowest of the low morale times if you stick to your plan while everyone is waiting for lower prices.
134  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: June 08, 2016, 01:06:58 PM
Traders do not like it when people are emotionally attached to the coin, because they work hard to keep their emotions out of making decisions.

I don't see anything bad about this community. What I see is the Monero community has a higher ratio of emotional believers ("holders").

The command is being appended to your first one without a closing quotation, it looks like.

For example, here i am adding the bitmonero alias and I forgot the end quote:

Code:
$ alias bitmonero='cd ~/bitmonero/build/release/bin...
>' <== just need to add the closing quote

This is just adding the alias so that you can enter bitmonero or 'moneronode' in your case to run the command in the future.

You could also open up ~/.bashrc in a text editor and edit the command that way.

I'm trying to follow this, and when I'm trying to add the rule to get torsocks to work I get this:

Code:
floam412@floam412-ASUS:~$ sudo iptables -I OUTPUT 2 -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 -m tcp --dport 18081 -j ACCEPT
[sudo] password for floam412:
iptables: Index of insertion too big.

Also, when I try the command anyways to use tor I just get a ">" below the command with no text... I'm just assuming that it's not connecting, but just wanted to make sure.

try instead sudo iptables -I OUTPUT 1 instead of 2

also

> below the command with no text sounds like you have an unclosed quote in the command somewhere...is it possible?

There will still be 240 sets of coins left for sale after these auctions are done, so no need to freak out. I would like one of these but I think I might wait and try to buy more later when the price is cheap. I sound like TC now.
139  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: June 06, 2016, 12:53:01 AM
Actually if I understand it correctly, I do believe that all of the coins will be funded in advance of shipping. Either by sending the XMR to smoothie himself funding the coin directly or to a trusted 3rd party that transfers the XMR onto the coin address when the shipment has arrived successfully.

Are you planning to offer BUYER FUNDED coins?
Here is the dilemma with BUYER FUNDED coins. If I mark the coins with a symbol or text "BUYER FUNDED" on the holograms and destroy the only other private spend key copy that was meant to generate key images and signatures after being funded, the owner of the coin (and subsequent owners) would not be able to prove the actual balance of the coin without opening the coin up.

If a coin is not funded prior to leaving my possession, the owner of that coin could never get the key images and signatures of each output. If they ever choose to fund the coin they would not be able to prove the balance of the coin to a 3rd party unless they were to open the coin thus revealing the base64 private spend key.

A possible alternative is that a trusted 3rd party of the customer (a person that I trust as well) would need to hold the funding amount until the coins arrive in customer's possession. Then they would need to have that 3rd party fund the coins. I would then generate all of the necessary information to prove the balance of the coin(s) and then destroy the base 64 private spend key copy on my end. This would possibly be an option for those who wanted not to risk their MONERO while in transit. The downside to this option is I would not be able to ship them a hard copy certificate containing the information for proving a coin's balance. They would just get a digital format (text or pdf).

This won't work, we've got garage dwellers bidding here.. Escrow (in the range of 2-5k xmr) should be requested before bidding is allowed.
