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

[tacotime]

Deterministic wallets have been merged back into master. The bug seemed to be an issue with the Microsoft 2012 VC compiler, and using the 2013 compiler seemed to fix these issues.

Error executing the 64bit linux version (Ubuntu 13.10): Illegal instruction

And that the least of it. Im using the latest 32bit deamon & simple wallet.

I waited for my deamon to sync  and now simple wallet is taking forever to update

Message on simple wallet is 'Height 75701 of 82689' and though its catching up its taking about 1hr per 1000 blk height. This makes my wallet usable.

I thought once my deamon synced then the wallet would just auto sync immediately

Can anyone help ?

I find the wallet syncing not only to take a ridiculous amount of time downloading less than 80 megs for 24h~ worth of blochain updates, but it makes the interent connection unusable, and with unusable - I mean exactly that, it strugles to load a simple google front page. What exactly is going on when it needs 45 mins + to download less than 80 megs, that is some serious skill to get it to complely hog up my 2mbit connection, yet not actually utilizing the available download bandwidth to actually DL the block chain in a reasonable amount of time.

I am now a computer genius as I am now mining

With my dual core pentium my hashrate is ~23

@hughjays77 I had an issue with the daemon that closing and opening it resolved.  Maybe it would work with the wallet.

It takes a minute or so per 1000 blocks for me. What CPU and OS are you using?

Who opposes merged mining with Fantomcoin where Monero is the donor chain and Fantomcoin is the merged mining chain?

[RentaMouse]

Anyone know what is going on with monero.crypto-pool.fr

I have been hashing there with 1.3Khash for a few days.  For the last ~24 hours I have received only ~0.2 XMR total to my wallet.

Apparently they were under a DDoS attack for 24hours so lost a lot of hashing, hopefully this sort of thing isnt going to spread to other pools as it doesn't achieve much other than to waste miner's time. Getting a pool up and running reliably takes a lot more than just slapping the open source pool code up on a server (trust me, I've spent a lot of time on making cryptonotepool.org.uk reliable), having to then spend more time and money on DDoS protection doesnt benefit anyone.

Btw, I've heard that everyone mining at moneropool.com got paid out and didnt lose any shares after their wallet problem yesterday, in case anyone was wondering.

Im on Windows 7 starter 32bit. This was never a issue with the previous deamon/wallet.

The deamon sync in its normal slow time. If I sync everyday then the deamon will take about 1/2hr to sync but this problem with simple wallet is unbearable

The issue is due to both stealth addressing and the tx dust from the pool software, which is still being fixed. In a CryptoNote coin, you must test each transaction output to check to see if it is owned by your private key. Therefore, as more tx emerge, it takes longer to scan the blockchain.

[hughjays77]

Thats what used to happen too for me 1min/1000 blocks re simple wallet. The deamon was always the slow part now the wallet is just trickling and I am also having the unusable internet problem with the deamon that I suspect is affecting the wallet.

One hour for 1000 blocks is much, much too slow (should be ~50x faster). Either he's on an ancient computer or something is wrong with the latest 32-bit build.

I'm guessing maybe low on RAM?

Whoops, I hadn't realized fluffypony doesn't have the Windows blockchain. I'll start updating these on the OP again.

[hughjays77]

So I can only update my wallet while Im asleep and make sure to update deamon/wallet twice/day after that.

I think I should keep 1/2 my Monero at the exchange as obviously I cannot transfer my coins whenever I wish.

Well eizh is right. One hour per 1000 blocks is not caused by cryptonote addressing. Something is wrong with your build, computer, or install. I sync 1000 blocks in under a minute on a old-ish (~3 years) computer.

Nothing ancient re computer[2yr old Samsung] and 4gb of RAM. Windows extra bloat removed and everything else runs speedy. I can run stuff that makes deamon/wallet look like notepad.exe.

Internet 15mbit

eg. I can do aDarkcoin/X11 or any other coin FULL block download in 45-1hr max

The problem is not with my computer/internet unless its a windows 7 problem

is fluffypony a core dev for monero?

Yes, see Monero Missive #1 for the list of core devs.

Whats a good hashrate for CPU, and GPU, and how does profitability compare to other big alts right now?

See Monero configurations for the list.

Both links are on the OP too.

Hey guys,

I installed the new 11 june win64 binaries(just copy pasted over my old ones, like I mostly do) and I try to start bitmonerod to sync the network, but it seems like it never syncs, and on top of that, it SRSLY hang my network bandwith, like 90%. what is wrong?

Can you pastebin the output from the daemon?

im sry u mean the .txt file? its mostly this"Sync data returned unknown top block: 81531 -> 81902" and keeps going on.... the real problem is it hangs my network! I was successfully using the last edition like 12 hours ago! and I cant find the old version of exe anymore because OP updated it... :/

That means it's catching up - it WILL use all the available bandwidth till its caught up, there's no rate-limiting on it.

Remember: Monero is still alpha-level software and is not ready for widespread use or in situations where bandwidth is limited. A lightweight SPV-style client will only happen in the future once we've made everything a lot more robust and stable and workable:)

I have been following monero since its launch. This bitmonerod behavior is not normal, after the update it got buged. I will let it update, but filling up an entire 30/2,5 vdsl line for some 12 hours worth of synching bytes is not normal. It is the first time the exe behaves like that. Plz do fix asap.


edit: apparently it synced, but leaving the bitmonerod open appears to have detrimental effect on the network, im not sure whether this was the case before.

yes, my connection is dying if I leave bitmonerod open when syncing. even my btc miners go offline.
