There isn't a light verison of an XMR wallet?

What's the safest way to use XMR o.o

What I'd do with bitcoin was create a USB bootable version of some OS and use Electrum on it
With XMR it would be hardly possible because of constant synchronization being needed to happen
What would be a way around this?

I have heard of a light version under development, but nothing concrete yet.

I would just download the GUI and sync the daemon - if you don't want to run a full node, you can also use a remote server to sync your wallet with, albeit at the expense of a bit of your privacy.

(That would be the "safest" way, IMO).

Personally, I've been using one particular wallet for like a few years. It's been updated, destroyed & corrupted numerous times, but all you really need is the seed to rebuild it from scratch. At least that is how I have recovered mine multiple times with no issues.  (Even with lots of moneroj in it)!

Which wallet are you using? Also, are you fully synced? You can check this by opening monerod manually and typing the following command:

Code:

status

Please post the output here.

I use monero-gui-0.10.3.1-beta2 from getmonero.org.
I sought than I was fully synced because the app was running ~4 days and network status was Connected (during sync was Sync). But when I run Status in monerod.exe sync is only "Height: 61200/1369184 (4.5%) on mainnet ..." so I will wait till 100%. After that, I will write status here.
Thanks dEBRUYNE!

Your sync may be stuck by the way, could you try this?

In addition, your funds should show up if you're fully synced. Furthermore, if you need any help, feel free to PM me.

Actually using a remote node is a light version of the wallet. It takes megabytes to sync rather than gigabytes. Yes it gives up a bit of privacy including in possibly unknown ways but it is much less of a burden to get started.

There are other light versions that might be available someday, but for now that one works fine.

1. Install the GUI.
2. Find some reliable remote node
3. Configure GUI to use remote node
4. Profit?

(5. Optional: Consider whether you want to use a full node instead for maximum privacy and security. If not now, you can always switch later)

I find that mymonero is quite fine for my needs. Or do you think it's not safe enough?

I love it when projects have quirks, like a way of speaking or something. If I would love monero for nothing else, then I would definitely love it for the fact that the plural form is moneroj brilliant!

Wondering how you people pronounce it when you read it outloud? The correct way in esperanto would be something like moneroi right? but i always read it like Moneroj with a jay sound at the end...

Someone who permantly throws insults if people disagree does not make a good point, even more so when everything already has been refuted. Btw there likely is a reason why most of his nicks get permabanned. ( he had like 5-6 already? )

Edit: @Shelby if you read this ... you should stop wasting your energy on others projects as long as you still claim you got the solution to everything ( and life ) with your own coin, just bring out that damn project/coin so everyone can see and validate it.

Esperanto can be read how its written, since it was made to be simple to learn in this way (unlike English), so once you learn how to pronounce a letter it is the same in every word.

The J sound in Esperanto is closest a Y sound in English.

To hear the pronunciation of the J sound, as well as how it sounds after a vowel you can check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wvOsT-Nju4 (@8:30-10:00)

BTC/ETH price goes down daily so will it effect on your project? And my investments?

Ask that question here and you will surely get a better answer than asking in this thread.

Hello, I'm synchronizing my monero wallet. And first 80%-90% blocks was synced very fast but now from cca. 60000 block further synchronising is taking forever. Anyone has idea why it is taking so long to sync last blocks?

Those blocks are significantly bigger, hence it takes longer to sync them. You could try this, it may improve your sync speed:

So, I have a couple of questions

I have searched for ways to sign transactions offline and found this
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6b2od3/a_stepbystep_guide_for_cold_storage_and_offline/

However, what I don't understand is, how will I get a tx file from an unsynced gui?
Going to Send will result in "Start Daemon" or someting like that, won't it?

I have also found this
https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/bitmonero/commit/3c44e9fb6c1b57852d37780414ed6e42afc19afb

For the cli I assume
However, I'm not that code savy and I fail even at the beginning 
Specify wallet file name - I type the wallet file name, or the path
And it results in the cli crashing
