Waiting for the hardfork

Any coin that has optional privacy is total crap as privacy coin. It might work for something else, I don't know, their use is not clear.

what do you mean? privacy coins are needed for anonymous transactions. and I see more and more demand for privacy coins like monero and other.

legday is talking about optional privacy. Which means you can chose if you wish your transactions to be Anonymous or not (i. e. Zcash, Dash). Many people thinks that this is not good and can be detrimental for coins privacy. Most of Monero community believes privacy must be there by default.

I have installed GUI v0.12.3. I have chosen "Remote Node", I have waited for the 1.6M blocks to be downloaded, until all was synchronized. Then I have closed the GUI.

Now that I have reopened it, under Network Status, it is written that "Daemon is synchronized" but under "Wallet blocks remaining" I have to resynchronize with the whole >1.6M blocks.

Why is that? Will that happen every time I close the GUI?

Assuming you're using the GUI in conjunction with a Ledger device, see:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/9ap96g/gui_v01230_cli_v01230_both_with_direct_ledger/e62g3m7/?context=3

Yes I am using the GUI.

I have again synchronized the >1.6M blocks, I have pay attention to do the following:
[1] Exit the GUI by clicking on the x (right top).

[2] Exit the Ledger Monero app.

[3] Unplug the Ledger device.


But now I have to synchronize again the whole 1.6M blocks when I relauch the GUI

Maybe I am doing [2] wrongly, the Ledger Monero app close itself after minutes because it goes into the sleepd mode, so when I exit the GUI the Monero app is already exited. What can I do?

I am sure there is a proper Ledger procedure what to turn off first. But you can just save block chain in monerod. That is the other black window that opens beside GUI. Just click in there and type save and it will save your progress until then. No matter if you latter on do not close it properly or if it crashes by any chance.




It also save when you type exit. but then it also exit with that command

Could you try "reactivating" it before you close the GUI?

I agree, Zcash isn't really a privacy coin that can be used as digital cash, but this clone is coz it enforces anon z txs by default

Only problems to resolve is the trusted setup, but if you can live with that PIRATE is a real digital cash, otherwise wait until trusted setup is sorted, and they reboot a similar z only coin.

So you can bind the daemon and the RPC to other IPs/ports with the above command line arguments (p2p-bind and rpc-bind respectively)

I think he means only the privacy coin is useful.

Do not know how Zcash, I watched him very little. Here is a Monero good coin.
Only I think I need to come up with a purse that will work faster.

not piling on, yes Zcash in z mode is very strong as long as there's enough z transactions going on. AFAIK it's still theoretically possible to stick out like a sore thumb. Dash had a great marketing run in the Bull market after they dropped the darkcoin name but it's really just a BTC mixer.

i made decent gains on Dash, Zcash, Particle and Nav but it recently became obvious XMR was/is dominating this category like the 1972 NFL Dolphins.  I keep reading more in our crooked mainstream news about how 'bad' Monero is. Not much about the others.

And everytime it gets dragged through the news I buy a little more.

Does the mainstream news actually “drag Monero through the mud” though?

... I’m not aware of any articles like that, care to share? I just don’t think Monero is really that much in the mainstream... or if so it would be a minor mention in what other “privacy coins” there are in comparison to something like Bitcoin.

Is true that new algorithm will be changed few day pre fork?
not good because we need prepare and test mining software on all machines, no enough time!!!

You simply have to upgrade to the new version (v0.13.0.0) once it is released.

Yes. Bittrex XMR wallet off for 3 or 4 days. Not an standard maintenance pause. Problems?
