Hold shift and right-click on folder and select "Open command window here".

A very useful trick that I can never remember when I need it. Maybe writing this will finally fix it in my mind..

It is very helpful for "cmd noobs" because they don't have to worry about finding the right directory, etc.

Nice, Never knew that. When was it added? I always added it to the right click menu.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt\Command]
@=”cmd.exe /k cd %1″

At least since Vista. I don't feel like digging up an XP machine ATM, but I *think* it has it as well.

Never used vista, probably why I missed it. I'll check XP l8r. Thx.

FYI, I requested that the Monero Missives be listed with PlayerFM, a popular Android podcast player. They just listed it here: https://player.fm/series/the-monero-missive-podcast

More reason to keep up with the missives and use this as a free tool to distribute knowledge. Anyone want to tackle iTunes?

Build up a following first.

What would be cool also is if the missives could be uploaded to YouTube (with a suitable static graphic overlay). This would be useful for peeps like me who are not so big on podcasts but are avid YouTube subscribers.

I'm sure it would also increase subscription to the Monero YouTube channel over time. Build up a following etc.

There were the fireside chats in the past:

It was very nice, people could ask questions live on IRC.

I still start monero with this script, it works very well for me:

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
  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 mywallet.keys (
    echo Starting previous save...
    start simplewallet.exe --wallet mywallet
) else (
    echo Starting new save...
    start simplewallet.exe
  )
) else (
    echo wallet already started.
)

i also have a cpoy of the same script to restore wallets from seed.

the script is usefull if you have several wallets for example.
just save it as .bat file inside your simplewallet.exe folder

[nioc]

Navigate to the folder where you have simplewallet.exe, but don't open it. Hold shift and right-click on folder and select "Open command window here", and then type exactly what myagui suggested:

Code:

simplewallet.exe --restore-deterministic-wallet

I received an error earlier which I don't remember and just tried again as I finished work.  Now my PC (windows 8.1) won't let it run.  I get something on my monitor as well as the following in the command window, "Access is denied."

After shift+R click I was at AppData\Roaming\Bitmonero>

I'm not running the daemon

[medusa13]

you can also launch it via shortcut:

1. right click on simplewallet.exe
2. Select Create shortcut
3. right click on the newly created shortcut, choose properties.
4. in field 'Target', add

Code:

--restore-deterministic-wallet

in the end
it should llook something like this:

Code:

C:\xx\xx\monero.win.xxx\simplewallet.exe --restore-deterministic-wallet

save it

5. doouble click on the shortcut.
6. it will ask you for wallet name
7. it will ask you for wallet passwort. be carefull there since you can not see what you type and you can also only set it once (should be more userfriendly, at least double check pw to prevent errors)
8. it will ask you for seed
9. maybe you need to refresh when wallet was created, maybe it refresh and scans blockchain by itself, i cant remember

hope it helps

maybe you try to run simplewallet exe from somewhere else, it will know where to find the blockchain by itself

When I first tried I got the same problem where I was not allowed to run the program.

In my Bitmonero folder I have monero.win.x64.latest, blockchain, p2pstate, poolstate and simplewallet.  This was the simplewallet I tried and it did not work.

When I opened monero.win.x64.latest there is another simple wallet application and this worked. 

Thanks everybody

[child_harold]

Could somebody pls link me Monero's peer review of the CryptoNote whitepaper and any other noteworthy peer reviews /audits etc regarding CN, BCN and XMR?

Many Thanks

while your google-fu has been proven to be weak numerous times, it should be sufficient for this task.

Don't quote the most ignored troll on BitCoinTalk, please.

Oh come now wazowski, asking for links to papers?
I dunno how you guys can tolerate these disgusting trolls asking for informative links and questioning the Monero view of the world… I guess it's a religious thing.
You have my sympathies. Get well soon.

(FYI a fine example of sandbagging (trolling) can be found here:

There is an issue for me on the Monero Forum that prevents me from replying to any thread and therefore cannot let anybody know about it there.

When I try to reply I get the following message: Whoops, looks like something went wrong.


Looks like GingerAle is doing some work on the "ABOUT MONERO" PAGE CONTENT there

Just checked, this is not an option for XP.

Well there ya go. Stop using old, no-longer-supported OSes.

somone should tell him there will be a monero fork 

[medusa13]

commits are still comming in like crazy and there is no end in sight, i love it!

BUT please be carefull, stuff like this https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/commit/988fe1f843f4f95e4a9a6068d21cefbcc4ff5821 should be very carefully tested. i think he chose the right direction with implementing a new command instead of possibly compromising the old one.
i know, you developers like to work directly on the trunk and branching is for kids. but please use a wise mix out of open source and high risk financial software developement style. be conservative, you have all the support of the community to do so.

yes, mergin the branches is also risky from a quality point of view, and developers dont like it becasue its a lot of unecessary work to them (especially when developing API's), but taging diectly from the trunk can also have very ugly outcomes sometimes. If you freeze it may be ok, but freeze must be long enough to really test it.

this should not be critism - i am just a quality assurance guy burnt by reallity far too many times and just want to share my point of view. You have to be conservative, but also one day you have to release, its a very very thin line and i have all the trust in the core team to make the right moves at the right time.

Have a check through the project README, we're not averse to branching, but it isn't done in the main repo - testing and QC is done on that developer's branch before it gets PR'd upstream:)

Edit: which is what happened here, nobody commits directly to the main repo (not even me), except in exceptional circumstances.

Install XP powertoys and you can have the command.
