Guys, i would have a technical question. Is a newly generated wallett in 0.91 fully encrypted Yes assuming you use a password (ideally a good one). Okidoki, thanks I would suggest as a password. It's a good one. In all seriousness you can make a password REALLY long (like 100+ random characters) and just recover with your seed words instead as needed. If you want to use your password in the future of course you need to actually record it. This is not quite true any more. You will recover your coins, but the wallet data file now contains logging data about your transactions along with your per-tx keys (which can be used to prove payment) so you should now keep that file safe, and probably back it up. These can not be recovered even with the seed words. But like I said, you can still always recover your coins with just the seed words.

Hello, Guys,
I'm looking for major XMR holders for the purpose of doing OTC(over the counter) deals to acquire this currency without moving market prices at exchanges. I'll start buying April/May on behalf of my clients and continue to do so for at least a year.
If you are interested, send me a pm or an email, with these details: Minimum amount i could buy from you, maximum amount i could buy in one operation, your preferred payment method and how to get in touch with you.
You probably have better luck asking in our speculation thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=753252.14840There is also #monero-otc on freenode.

Support the Monero network by hiring a pre-installed full node for just 4$ / month
I might be interested, but to be frank... I'm still trying to set up my computer to run Linux. I haven't had much time to mess with it, but when I do I'd be willing to pay for it and use that. Cool, just let me know. You (or anyone else) still have five days to decide before the node expires. So you can buy more time setting up your own node by extending the current one for a month .

If you have your private key, you can always recover your coins but with your wallet.dat you'll get the metadata such as labels on keys or transactions.

The idea of metadata as opposed to coin recovery is the same. The main thing that is different here is that the metadata includes the tx private keys (for transactions you made). Those don't exist in Bitcoin and are needed if you ever have to prove that you made a payment.

MONERO MADNESSHey guys, decided it might be fun for some of us who would like to try our luck in picking out our own brackets for March Madness this year! Since probably everyone on here (including my self) doesn't really keep up with college basketball (in the U.S.), I decided it would be equally as fair to win some Monero and will make it somewhat enjoyable/interesting to watch a game if someone has it on their T.V. at a friends house or out to eat at some bar. So here's what I'm thinking: 1 entry per user 10 XMR to play ... ?? Up for discussion ??Figured going through ESPN.com would be easiest to set up our brackets (very simple to sign up a username) Since ESPN doesn't allow gambling, I figured we will just trust each other to pay up at the end of the bracket. If you would like to play, sign up on ESPN and message me on either of the ANN or speculation threads or PM me. Group Name: Monero Password: blockchain ... (didn't know what else to put) Here's a direct link: http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/en/group?invitesource=email&groupID=1427554&inviteuser=ezQyRjI1MzNFLTBGQTYtNEY2Qi1BN0Y0LTk1OEMyMDVBNDE2Qn0%3D&ex_cid=invite-email-tcmen&groupp=YmxvY2tjaGFpbg%3D%3DLet me know if you guys are interested or not! Should be fun if we get a couple players to throw in 10 (or so) XMR. Maybe the best dudero win EDIT: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1400823.0

What do I need to do to upgrade from v0.9.1? Delete everything and start from scratch, or can I save the blockchain (was a bitch to sync with my spotty connection). Or should I wait until next week? EDIT: downloaded windows version, unzipped to a new location. Copied wallet and keys files over from old folder, and simplewallet seems fine with that. started daemon, and it seems to have found the database without issue (where the hell did windows put it?), as it synced immediately. Can I delete the 0.9.1 folder completely?

Can I delete the 0.9.1 folder completely? You could have just just unzipped it to the folder you had 0.9.1 in. It will write over the necessary files. "(where the hell did windows put it?)" It usually defaults to downloads but you can select "browse" and place it anywhere you want, again where you had the version you are updating from.

He probably asks, where the database is stored In Windows the place is... C:\ProgramData\bitmonero

Your wallet is fine. If you want to keep it as a cold wallet you don't have to do anything. If you want to go online you will need a new daemon.
