[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[owlcatz]

why the hell is it crashing?

This is just how markets work. a bunch of hype about the coin, along with the new NY rules about crypto-currency, and you see a major influx of btc volume. thus the price rises. at the end of the day, everyone goes, ok, why again? and many panic-sell/dump etc...

This is not a coin for the pump and dumpers (well ok maybe short term) but i'm hodling and winning no matter how low it should go for a while, i really dont think many get the tech behind this coin, as it's NOT a btc clone like most others.

It is not indeed, and I would not call it a crash, these ups and down are very healthy for Monero, everything is looking positive on short and long-term, be glad we are here early

+1 for someone who get's it!

Both MoneroPool.com and extremehash.com don't seem to be paying out for many hours, is something going on with Monero in general?

lol.. No. The difficulty has risen so everyone's payout is smaller!  I can still pull in .5 msr on on on 1 R9 270!

It does seem like a fairly run of the mill whiplash bounce.  Someone decided it was a decent profit taking moment.  Others followed. Some of us made a little coin off the movement.

Meaning - the more profitable a coin becomes to mine , the higher the hashrate and thus the difficulty.   That is whats' going on here.

Those pools seem to be having a problem with their payouts, its nothing to do with difficulty or anything, several miners in IRC have reported pending balances well over the min payout level for a few hours. Chances are the wallet is stuck and needs manually restarting - it tends to "failsafe" to ensure coins dont go missing.

Of course in the meantime I will point out that miners can redirect their hashpower to http://cryptonotepool.org.uk/ until the problem is resolved, its only 1% fee and all of that is being donated to the XMR core dev fund so you can feel good about supporting monero at no extra cost to yourself

[Deagle21]

I figured something was up.  Extremhash finally kicking in after several hours but monero.pool still owes me over 7 xmr from over 8 hours ago when they usually payout every 0.5 xmr.

Who knows where you can rent rigs for XMR?

Hi again! I have done everything is written here.
Now I can access my wallet and use it.
But... Is there are any GUI? Or I have to use only command line?

Here are some more short instructions:

A) If you prefer a GUI wallet you could use the non official Windows GUI wallet from the OP (first post in this thread).

B) If you could handle the command line wallet (it's easy - just try it) here are short instructions:

1) Download the Windows 64 bit binaries from the OP (first post in this thread)
2) Extract it in folder of your choice (for example D:\XMR)
3) Create a new file named runXMR.bat file with this commands in it:

Code:

@echo off

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq bitmonerod.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "bitmonerod.exe">NUL
if not %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
  echo Starting node...
  start /MIN bitmonerod.exe --seed-node 62.210.78.186:18080 --seed-node 195.12.60.154:18080 --seed-node 54.241.246.125:18080 --seed-node 107.170.157.169:18080 --seed-node 54.207.112.216:18080 --seed-node 78.27.112.54:18080 --seed-node 209.222.30.57:18080 --seed-node 80.71.13.55:18080 --seed-node 107.178.112.126:18080
) else (
  echo Node already started.
)

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq simplewallet.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "simplewallet.exe">NUL
if not %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
  if exist wallet.bin.keys (
    echo Starting previous wallet...
    start simplewallet.exe --wallet wallet.bin
  ) else (
    echo Starting new wallet...
    start simplewallet.exe --generate-new-wallet wallet.bin
  )
) else (
  echo Wallet already started.
)

5) [optional] For fast synchronization with the network:
 a.) Download the win 64x blockchain from the OP
 b.) Create %APPDATA%\bitmonero folder and place the blockchain there

4) Double click the runXMR.bat file you've just created - this will open both the daemon (it'll start sync) and the wallet (on first run it'll create the wallet and ask you for a password just once).
5) Write down the 24 words it gives you - with those you'll be able to recover the wallet without knowing the password (you could use copy/paste). Keep it safe.
6) Quit the wallet with 'q' and enter and run the runXMR.bat file again - type your password to decrypt the wallet and you'll be sure you know the right password.
7) BACKUP your wallet (there will be 3 files - wallet.bin, wallet.bin.keys and wallet.bin.address.txt, but the most important file is the .keys file)
After the daemon sync enter 'refresh' in the wallet.

You could use 'help' in both daemon (bitmonerod) and simplewallet to see all the commands but 'refresh' and 'q' ('exit') are the most used (also 'transfer' obviously).

EDIT: Lol Everybody want to help

[riosober]

hi,dear Dev,
have anyone told to u about XMR daemon bitmonerod had need change to auto save blockchain?
It's a serious trouble for update all block once on Linux platform when system have low memory than 2GB,system always kill bitmonerod at it's take large block unsaved,can u help us fix this,and keep wallet deamon stable running?

[restless]

Something has to be done with the wallet!
For third time in 2 months I'm stuck with wallet unable to sync... already 2 times i deleted the whole fucking GBs big blockchain...
Are we supposed to do this every 2 weeks?
1 month no  updates on binaries, same problems again and again

lol no we aren't supposed to do that. Some more details would be nice, because you're problems is pretty vague..

There are unofficial GUI wallets for download from the OP. Backup your wallet.bin.keys and give them a try. The Jojatekok Windows wallet have a sub folder in it where your new wallet should be created after running the program - replace it with your current wallet and it should load it after restart. I didn't used those wallets, so I can't help you with them, but you could always ask questions in their threads and eventually someone will help you.

Unofficial downloads and links

GUI
All current GUIs are in beta, but they should be fairly safe to use because they work through bitmonerod and simplewallet from the main code.

• Qt GUI (Cross-platform) by Neozaru
• Windows GUI by Jojatekok

What details? Daemon was shut down for 3 days, started - no sync for hours.
Deleted blockchain, resync - all is fine by magic.
Until blockchain bloat&problems are solved long term future for cryptonight is not good

PS: And having daemon which sucks GB ram and lots of cpu&bandwidth running 24/7 is unacceptable

Yes, yes. Thank you! I have done it already. I setup one GUI, but I can't understand if it is correct?

For a long time it shows "Syncronizing with wallet". Can I use wallet? How much time do I have to wait?

Details would include things like your operating system, CPU/RAM/available disk space, what errors show up in the daemon window (if any).

Your next step would be to check if there is an open github issue for the problem you're facing, and if not you should open one: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/issues

At the end of the day, this is an open-source project that is in very early alpha stages, and you are most welcome to fix the problems you've described and submit your code via a pull-request.

[Brad_BCK]

Great! It works! Great thanks for you guys, who helped me!

So the algorythm for newbies is the next one (thanks to equipoise + my comments):
1) Download the Windows 64 bit binaries from the official page: http://monero.cc/.
Here they are: http://monero.cc/downloads/monero.win.x64.latest.zip
2) Extract it in folder of your choice (for example D:\XMR)
3) Create a new file named runXMR.bat file with this commands in it:
Code:

Code:

@echo off

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq bitmonerod.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "bitmonerod.exe">NUL
if not %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
  echo Starting node...
  start /MIN bitmonerod.exe --seed-node 62.210.78.186:18080 --seed-node 195.12.60.154:18080 --seed-node 54.241.246.125:18080 --seed-node 107.170.157.169:18080 --seed-node 54.207.112.216:18080 --seed-node 78.27.112.54:18080 --seed-node 209.222.30.57:18080 --seed-node 80.71.13.55:18080 --seed-node 107.178.112.126:18080
) else (
  echo Node already started.
)

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq simplewallet.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "simplewallet.exe">NUL
if not %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
  if exist wallet.bin.keys (
    echo Starting previous wallet...
    start simplewallet.exe --wallet wallet.bin
  ) else (
    echo Starting new wallet...
    start simplewallet.exe --generate-new-wallet wallet.bin
  )
) else (
  echo Wallet already started.
)

4) For fast synchronization with the network:
 a.) Download the win 64x blockchain from the OP. A link: http://monero.cc/downloads/blockchain/win/blockchain.bin
 b.) Place it in a folder you created already. For example D:\XMR

5) Double click the runXMR.bat file you've just created - this will open both the daemon (it'll start sync) and the wallet
5.1) On first run you'll create the wallet. You'll be asked about password ONCE.
6) Write down the 24 words it gives you - with those you'll be able to recover the wallet without knowing the password (you could use copy/paste). Keep it safe!
7). After synchronisation process finishes (an hour or so) - Quit the wallet with 'q' and 'enter'
7.1).Run the runXMR.bat file again - type your password to decrypt the wallet and you'll be sure you know the right password.
8.) BACKUP your wallet (there will be 3 files - wallet.bin, wallet.bin.keys and wallet.bin.address.txt, but the most important file is the .keys file)
Cool After the daemon sync enter 'refresh' in the wallet.
You could use 'help' in both daemon (bitmonerod) and simplewallet to see all the commands but 'refresh' and 'q' ('exit') are the most used (also 'transfer' obviously).

9. For comfort use download and install GUI.
You can see info on the first page of this thread.
9.1 I choosed this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=683365.0 only because it was the first in the list. ;]
9.2 Install GUI and setup it as listed on a screenshot:
https://i.imgur.com/8zcaUET.png
9.3 Wait until syhchronisation process will finish. In my case it has taken about 30-40 minutes.
10. E-N-J-O-Y Mining and trading Monero!
I'll start today.  
I really hope it can help to someone who wants to join this community.

Hash rate has just trickled over 17 m/h which is an ATH for us. This is almost double what we were around a week ago and correlates with the price rise nicely.

Why hasn’t an official GUI wallet been created yet? The coin’s out for a while, it’s about time they settled this problem.
