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

[zafaryaqoob]

I'm using Get monero pas year I have found this is amazing wallet to store Monero cryptocurrency.

[Bepesand]

I wonder if this is a good time to buy XMR
Maybe because anyone who buys at any point from here will hardly take great losses in return for large profits.

The lost is small compared to the potential gain. So it is good to buy now.

My gui wallet Daemon not sychronised, It not connect, so i cant mining because i don't know if wallet Will sychronised, any help?

Did you manage to resolve your issue? Note that, as mattcode said, you can only start mining once you're fully synced.

Hy guys,

are we supported now by ledger or not, at least it is not on the Ledger HP on the supported cryptoassets 

Both the CLI and the GUI have direct Ledger support. Ensuring you have a proper setup is currently quite technical though. That's probably why Ledger has not listed Monero yet under supported cryptoassets.

Note that one of the Ledger devs is working on improving the user experience of the initial setup, i.e., ensuring it is plug-and-play on all operating systems (currently Ledger in conjunction w/ Monero is basically only plug-and-play on Windows). In addition, their CTO (btchip) stated that, eventually, Monero will, most likely, be included in their native desktop app (Ledger Live).

Hello!

I downloaded the Monero GUI wallet. Started the monero app on my ledger, and created a new address for the ledger, in the Monero wallet. Im waiting for the wallet to sync now. will the wallet work just as normal? The only difference, is that i will have to conect the ledger, to be able to send Monero?

And i dont have to keep the ledger connected, while the wallet is syncing?

Sorry for the noob questions:P

Syncing is much quicker if you download the blockchain separately first.

By the way,

how is kovri doing?

Wasn't alpha software just recently released? We actually have a buildable functional kovri for the first time now as I understand it. Seems good.

I confirm that. All the previous releases have the status "alpha-rc", i.e. "pre-alpha". Official alpha has been released just few weeks ago:
https://github.com/monero-project/kovri/releases/tag/v0.1.0-alpha

Monero/Kovri devs do have just one disadvantage: a very... VERY poor PR activity. They often do the great things in total silence. They probably think the github activity is completely sufficient source of a new information for the whole community.

Yea that is a problem. Even getmonero.org is not properly updated. For example there was not info of GUI-problems. There were wrong wallet version numbers. The moneropedia https://getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/ is inadequate. The team does anyway great job, but due to lack of PR, it is very difficult for ordinary people to get knowledge of Monero through all the noise of crypto.

What do you people think? Is this lack of communication conscious or just lack of situational awareness?

I guess the Monero community could have have some capabilty to arrange reasonable site and campaign for the possible future Monero users.

What kind of GUI-problems are you referring to? As far as I know, the issue of the downloads page listing the wrong version number was swiftly resolved.

With respect to Moneropedia, it's basically to community's job to improve it.

I wouldn't say the lack of communication is conscious. Rather, Monero is largely built by volunteers and, as a result, there is no dedicated "team" to manage these kind of things.

Does anyone know whats going on with this?

https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/9901/how-do-i-generate-a-ledger-monero-wallet-with-the-gui-monero-wallet-gui

From the link you posted

It's imperative that the closing process of your Ledger Monero wallet is done in this specific consecutive order:
[1] Exit the GUI by clicking on the x (right top).
[2] Exit the Ledger Monero app.
[3] Unplug the Ledger device.

I unplugged the ledger, while i was waiting for the wallet to sync, when the wallet was still running. Any idea what kind of issues that can cause?

The wallet cache won't be saved properly. As a result, the wallet refresh will not pick up where it left off. That is, the next time it will start from scratch again. Luckily, this only takes 5-10 minutes with a proper restore height (e.g. the one in the guide).

2000 pages ladies and gents. Nice to have been around to read, ponder and sometimes engage with many great posts. I always feel that I probably would have a great time drinking a beer or having a spliff with many of you. My kind of crowd.
Here is to the next 2000. Although I feel Monero is going to be around much longer than bitcointalk and our future pages may be written elsewhere.

Just wanted to ask if there won't be any party for this 2000 pages milestone. Few more pages and we will be ahead of our time (2018).
I enjoy this topic too. Love all the info I get here and the opportunity that I can provide the info to new people who come here to get to know Monero and let them fall in love with it too.
Cheers to all Monerians. (How do you call a person who HODLs, support and use Monero?)

Yeeeaaahhhh 

Waiting for 2018

The GUI was not properly functional on many devices for three months, since april to last release. It was connecting and not connecting to nodes. Both local and remote nodes. During that time GUI had to be MacGyvered by combining GUI and CLI files.

People were seeking answers on reddit, bitcointalk and where ever they could.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/8aoxeu/monerowalletgui_has_stopped_working_v012/

There was no info at all of this on getmonero.org. If there had been, plenty of hassle, effort and time would have been saved.

The wrong version numbers were there many days or even few weeks.

I was just checking some Monero network statistic here: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/monero-hashrate.html.
And now I wonder why hashrate has fallen so dramatically in May? Is that a mistake or was there any major event which caused this?

I also find number of Monero transactions interesting, there is actually not a lot of them. Even Doge has approximately 5x more transactions on average. https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-xmr-doge.html What do you guys think is the reason for this? Not enough exposure of XMR, fees, complexity, UI?

ASICs had been stealth mining and the algo was changed to cryptonight v7 to thwart them.

https://1stminingrig.com/monero-cryptonight-v7-and-sumokoin-hardforks-all-you-have-to-know/

Man, i just checked Sumokoin out, what a freaking joke riding on the work of the Monerodevs. 10% premine kept in "coldstorage" (nobody knows who is in charge of the coldstorage) until 2020, 6 months diff freazing, the first "official" thread got closed, the second one is a joke, man this is true shit on the base of a high level code

Yeah, Anyone that checked out sumocoin on launch could see it was scamcoin then.

When is this forking to remove the FPGA's and ASIC's turning on daily? Is it still sticking to a 6-monthly algo tweak?

[tanatana]

he does not know my miner
POOL supportxmr.com
Windows7, huge page enable, CPU FX 6100

Another computer reads it
why on this computer the pool does not show the miner? otherwise it digs with 250 H/S
