~ MONERO GUI BETA 2 RELEASED ~

<3 &  

My win64 laptop just crashed for the first time in over 3 years.
GUI opened, started daemon, synced, and began to sync wallet.  I also started it mining, which might have been ambitous, given the load of programs currently running    Anyway, I was pretty shocked that it just gave up.  Some windows notice about errors, and it restarted.  I will start it all up again, and see how it goes.

Yeah, that was very ambitious! Thats a quick thrashing of the HD and a smack of 100% cpu on a unstable OS. LOL

I wouldn't be surprised if you got a kernel exception on nix doing that. Lol

It is no sprinter, but it typically handles 100% cpu load without much fuss.  You know its out of breath, but its still running.

  I reduced the load on the system and it loaded and synced my wallet with no fuss.  Cool.  First try at the GUI.  I like it

Nice, winblows has always been weakest when Hd is getting pummeled for some reason.

I haven't tried the GUI since initial beta release but I thought it was fine back then. Holy shit I can't believe I'm talking about the GUI release in the past Tense!!!

All my XMR transactions are incoming ring CT transactions. Does this make sweep_unmixable not worthwhile? If I want to combine UTXO's, what's the best way to do this in monero?

The sweep_all command will give you the ability to sweep your whole wallet (i.e. all inputs) to a specified address. Type "help" into `monero-wallet-cli` to see the exact command and how it should be used.

Presumably this means it incurs a transaction fee like bitcoin, based on the number of UTXO's? Just wondering about UTXO management, but hopefully things will never get as bad as bitcoin is at the moment.

Monero doesn't have UXTOs, because in Monero you cannot distinguish between unspent and spent transaction outputs due to Monero's untraceable nature. That said, the size of a transaction will grow as you use more inputs, which correspond to a higher absolute fee.

Is there a Monero white paper I can read?

[ESSENTIAL UPDATE]: Monero 0.10.3.1 "Wolfram Warptangent" Released

https://github.com/monero-project/monero/releases/tag/v0.10.3.1

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/61yy9s/essential_update_monero_01031_wolfram_warptangent/

I was expecting the "current wallet name" indicator to be included on this release. What happened? I suppose it was difficult to implement.

For me it seems you need to resync

go to C:\ProgramData\ and rename folder "bitmonero" to any other thing and try again

I'd advise to delete the the blockchain, because a full resync is most likely needed. This is done as follows:

1. Open your Windows explorer.

2. Type the following into the navigation bar (the one at the top): C:\ProgramData\bitmonero\lmdb

3. Delete data.mdb.

4. Now you can restart monerod.exe. Note that you will have to resync from scratch, which may take some time.

Got it! Thanks for doing this. Coolness! Other than that, really nice new features in the current release.

The release notes mentioned "unsigned transaction" and "Cold transaction signing". Do these mean that offline transaction signing is now possible with this release? If so, is there a step-by-step guide/instruction on how to go about it posted somewhere?

I have to post in the Doge thread now, if only I can find it.
