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

[Its About Sharing]

I downloaded the source for Mac from Github.
I downloaded, then copied over the blockchain.bin file into my home directory (That is where I found it, I guess from when I first started the simplewallet or bitmonerod executable.)
It synced up fairly quick and I started simplewallet. I see the "help" command gives me the commands possible.

Now, yesterday afternoon before I got the blockchain.bin file copied I ran one of the above two executables and it asked me for a password and 24 word seed. Did that. Since then
I have moved the monero.mac.x64.latest directory with executables, etc. into my applications folder (from downloads). That doesn't seem to have hurt anything. Outside of moving a few
coins into my wallet (not done yet), can I test that my 24 word seed is still ok? I don't see any documentation here beyond the help command. Any ideas guys? I would like to make sure my wallet
is running ok, as the command line version of a wallet is a bit new for me and I want to be careful and also would like to delete it and restore it for when I actually have my coins in it. Instructions
or ideas greatly appreciated.

BTW - I am running/starting everything by double clicking on the executables from my finder window.

Thanks in Advance,

Notice that cpuminer-multi in homebrew tap is LucasJones's miner, I can't compile wolf's miner for some reason

I noticed this error message. Why is there a User call "ric"? That isn't me, or is that just the default path?
Also, that is not any of my IP addresses, just checked.

which is the source of your binaries ?
obviously that's not your IP, that's the peer you're communicating with.

can you recommend me some?
.fr problem with payouts, moneropool.com same issue, minergate, better not saying anything,
my hashrate is 10kH, pool should be 100-200x bigger than your hashrate, what I've red,
so now be clever, because I'm not.

With such kind of logic new pools have no chances.

[equipoise]

@mirny: With 10kH you should solo mine and you should get 1.75 blocks per day (about 7 blocks per 4 days).

On the page before I asked a question about my wallet. (bit more detail there).
But, my binaries were downloaded from Github as a zip and then I moved the files (after first setting a password and 24 word seed). I'm running the bitmonerod and simplewallet by having double clicked on the downloaded files. It seemed fine till an hour ago.
In my other question I was worried about having moved the source files after setting the password and seed. Perhaps that is why? Though it seems my .bin files are still in my home directory.

Thanks,
IAS

extremehash.com? 10% bonus

can I test that my 24 word seed is still ok?

Your seed is a random combination of data that, when produced, will re-produce your wallet, indefinitely.

To see if it's working you can just create a new folder, copy and paste the 'simplewallet' file into that folder. Then execute a script with the simplewallet file but with the flag --restore-deterministic-wallet

It will ask you for a 'new' name for your wallet, a 'new' password, and then the seed.

The new name/pw don't have to be the same as the old one, but it will make a file that is the same wallet regardless of what you choose. You may verify the address/viewkey/tx log independently from there if you wish to go that far.

Check out the missives for a confirmation/better description.


edit: There's no need to worry about moving any files. You may shred them, burn your computer, just lose the password to your wallet file .. etc. As long as you know those words you may restore your wallet no matter what happens.

Price is increasing. I regret I didn't buy more at 0.0025 I always make same mistakes.

@beavis4ever
extremehash.com too many orphans, need 120 confirms instead of normal 60

@equipoise
I'd like to solomine, but there is no solomnier for GPU's

@sammy007
I think that logic is normal, you would like to waste your hashrate just like that?
I think no. So maybe I'll try that new pool from Wolf. It's looking like the best choice atm.

it's like that, if you don't own a crystal ball

This advice was addressed to small miners with 100-200 H/s. If everyone with huge hashrate will mine on huge pools we will end up with 1-2 pools cracking all the blocks and small pools will disappear, and we will never see new pools coming, because it's almost impossible to successfully launch a pool when everyone will think this way.

BTW, welcome to http://xmr.hashinvest.ws -- always latest updates.

[mirny]

all right then, i get it, it was just recommendation for small miners,
don't worry I'm supporter of hash spreading

Those orphans are not recent.  They are from before, when all pools produces many orphans.  Also, I believe you are also incorrect on the number of confirms.
