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

[Gillette]

Monero devs, I have the following question:

If A sends XMR to a stealth address of B, then B sends XMR to the stealth address of C, will A be able to see that his coins are now on C`s stealth address ?

Hi, i downloaded the newest client and the newest blockchain fomr the getmonero site and placed them in the bitmonero folder, but it started synchronising from the beginning again.   Why so? And why is the blockchain name ending with .raw now and not with .bin?  I`m missing something...    I havent worked with monero since like 1 year.

If you haven't used Monero for a year, you were probably using a version without the database. That is, a version where the blockchain was still stored in RAM. The current versions (0.9.x - Hydrogen Helix) use a database to store the blockchain and therefore bitmonerod only uses a negligible amount of RAM. Only blockchains of current versions (0.9.x - Hydrogen Helix) are compatible. If you really want to import your old blockchain, you can use the importer, which is described here:

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/releases/tag/v0.9.0

(ctrl + f "Updating: Blockchain Conversion")

Even though the guide is written under the 0.9.0 release, it is advisable to use 0.9.4. Though, since you downloaded the newest client you are probably using that.

No, traceability is "broken" by ring signatures, which achieve untraceability. Stealth addresses merely achieve unlinkability, but you need both to achieve privacy.

Hey guys,

I was trying to import a paper wallet yesterday into MyMonero. I put in the 25 word mneumonic seed and then sent 10 XMR to that address (and I just checked, I also put in the payment ID as well). Next time I logged in, I put in those same 25 words and there were no transactions present. The transaction is recorded though in my other MyMonero wallet. The importing wallet still says "Payment not yet received" when I click on "account"/"import transactions". Any idea where those XMR could have gone?

Thanks,
IAS

I sometimes notice a lag between my actual committed transactions and those that are reflected in mymonero.

Thanks (everyone) for the comments. I sent a message to fluffypony on Sunday as well as an email.
I know what you mean vokain (and long time no see! Hope you are well.) But I didn't even get to see most of the importing process. I sent the payment and started the import process but never saw it in operation, if that makes sense. When I log on now it just has a balance of 0 with no transactions, so it isn't like it was hacked or the like.  My other MyMonero account shows the 10 XMR was sent successfully. (As well as 10 from the same original wallet because I thought I could import those XMR into another account. Wonder if I can still use those XMR as it is on the blockchain.)

Thanks again guys,
IAS

does the coin update still??

[nioc]

does the coin update still??

I am unsure of your exact question.

There was one major update at the beginning of the year as well as 3 minor ones since then.  There was also a recent hardfork.  This was the first hardfork and they are scheduled every 6 months going forward.

Yes the development is ongoing with many improvements currently being worked on.

I should have grabbed some on sale yesterday

Man, complicated phase for Monero, some guys are dumping a lot.

Man, complicated phase for Monero, some guys are dumping a lot.

In the last 1.5 months ago it jumped from 0.45$ to over 1.6$.
Unfortunately now it's falling back.

Although I feel that under 2$ XMR is heavily undervaluated, it's still not the end of the world.
When it will be ready for it, it will rise and will not fall back again. I still trust this coin and its devs.

I would suggest that you work it out with fluffypony either via email or on freenode IRC.

It has been a couple of days now and fluffypony has not gotten back to me via the messaging here. I don't have freenode IRC.
I also emailed support, but have not heard back in two days either.

Any other suggestions or can someone contact fluffypony or support to try to aid here?
Very much appreciated,

I'm pretty sure he is still travelling.  He has been in Asia the last little while.

Ah, that explains it as usually he got back to me quick. Anyone else with MyMonero experience?
I am afraid to import my other paper wallet as I'm not sure the system is working. Has anyone done a paper wallet import since the hard fork?

He's been captured by the North Koreans.

Are you able to run a node? You can import your keys into simplewallet and it'll rescan the chain for your transactions. Actually, you can do that even without a node if you connect to a remote one (I don't have the information handy but there are several open ones).

Thanks luigi. Something with my Mac has made installing a wallet just not work. I have even reinstalled the OS. I had the Ethereum wallet on my machine and it had problems as well (would always fall behind.) So, I don't feel (yet) like trying the wallet again.

The problem is that when I input the seed words into MyMonero, it shows a balance of zero (and no transactions), so I'm not sure inputting them into a desktop wallet would actually do anything. I think they are stuck somewhere. They were successfully sent to the paper wallet, but with Monero, you can't really check the balance, lol. But you can see the transaction...

If the transaction went through (ie, you can find it on a block explorer), then it is almost certainly a MyMonero backend issue/bug. Thus using a simplewallet instance would indeed find the missing payments.

If you want someone trusted to sweep the wallet for you (possibly to a new MyMonero wallet if you're into that), one of us can do that too, though obviously I'd generally recommend against giving your seed(s) to anyone.

Thanks for your help luigi and for clarifying this as a MyMonero bug or the like.

I just finished trying wallet #2. From my primary MyMonero wallet I sent the 10 XMR, along with the payment ID, to the addresses given in the import section from my Other MyMonero instance. Unfortunately. Same thing happened. Zero Monero. In both wallets it says the payment hasn't arrived yet, but I checked and it is on the block explorer.

So, if I may, I think it might be wise to avoid importing any paper wallets into MyMonero. I've imported them before, but before the last hard fork.

I don't have a lot of Monero, just like 2 BTC worth.
Anyway, I don't have a problem with a trusted member helper helping me.

Bed time for me now though. I'll check back in the morning. Thanks again for your help.

No problem. I think fluffypony is in Asia for another 10 days or so. I'm sure he can get it resolved when he gets back (and probably before), I just wanted to offer you alternatives if you were in a hurry, etc.

Is there something I can do to get my pool listed on the announce page of this thread? In fact, the list there seems pretty outdated. Lot of those pools are gone it seems. It's at https://xmr.cncoin.farm
