The Windows being faster than Linux should be more publicised. If the contrary was a drawback, this should be beneficial to its image. 

I think the blockchain folder in the OP is incorrect. In Windows, shouldn't it be in appdata/ROAMING/bitmonero ?

Yes but you get there with %appdata%

you also have to create the bitmonero folder yourself.

The windows path is: %appdata%\bitmonero

It is correct in the OP.

If you're a windows noob like me though you'll be going there via file Explorer and won't know how to see %appdata%

when can the windows wallet gui be expected?

Hi, the current source code on github does not compile on archlinux.

Code:

bitmonero wallet v0.8.6.295()
password: *************
Opened wallet: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Starting refresh...
Error: refresh failed: daemon is busy. Please try later. Blocks received: 0

Can't refresh (tried multiple time), bitmonero compiled from source and the daemon is fully synced.
This is not working since few days, I updated source but still not working.
The daemon can mine however.

Any idea ?

Edit : using libboost 1.53

It worked thanks !
But that's strange since I did multiple exit and relaunch witch would have saved the blockchain.
Any way ... good to know.

Noob question,

I've been getting this a lot:

2014-May-05 03:40:45.540602 [P2P1][sock 201] Some problems at write: Broken pipe:32

Any idea what this means?

Also -
I'm on Xubuntu 13.10
I compiled without specifying # of threads, but I am actively mining with 8 threads.
Since I didn't specify number of threads when compiling, will there be a detrimental effect?
I have Dual Xeon 5160's at 3Ghz and am getting 14H/s when using all cores.

In general this means you terminated some connection. I'm not sure it does any harm here, though.

Compiling with more threads just compiles faster. It has no effect on the resulting program or your ability to mine with more threads.

when can the windows wallet gui be expected?

I have been trying to create a simple wrapper for the simplewallet and daemon. But I'm running into problems with the public (JSON RPC) API. The documentation on the bytecoin wiki is not accurate (some methods don't exists any more, others are missing specification of the input).

I can read the balance from the wallet and general info from the daemon. But I can't read a list of incomming transfers (this method does not seem to be available). I tried getting all the blocks and parsing them, but I can get the call for getblocks.bin working.

Has anyone got any further than me? I can post examples of how to make the JSON RPC calls. But I'm still missing big parts of functionality before I can even think of making a Windows wallet implementation.

Simplewallet can read a list of incoming transfers. The command is incoming_transfers

Some kind of race condition in the code. Sometimes it comes up with broken RPC, sometimes it works fine. Doing "save" seems to resolve it.

Nice movement on the spreadsheet exchange:

14.17 BTC volume so far for 5/5 -- a large amount for a spreadsheet exchange. That's 3.65x more than yesterday, and the price has went up from a .000442 average yesterday to .000796 (average for the day), a gain of 80%.

It looks like people are gaining a lot of trust in Smooth - a great thing, we're recovering from the departure of TFT, there's lots of news about a pool coming very soon, the blockchain didn't get stuck, the newest update was successfully pushed through, the hashrate doubled, and the miners have been optimized (even though there's currently a favor toward windows machines, but it sounds like that's being worked on).

Lots of great news! Looking forward to seeing even more new people posting every day.

Simplewallet can read a list of incoming transfers. The command is incoming_transfers

I know . The command I'm refering to is not entered at the command line, but sent via HTTP messages, specifically used for communication between two processes.

I have the same problem.

I think the blockchain folder in the OP is incorrect. In Windows, shouldn't it be in appdata/ROAMING/bitmonero ?

Yes but you get there with %appdata%

you also have to create the bitmonero folder yourself.

The windows path is: %appdata%\bitmonero

It is correct in the OP.

If you're a windows noob like me though you'll be going there via file Explorer and won't know how to see %appdata%

This is what I meant.

And please post binaries in more than one location. Mega has failed for the second time in a few days. Thanks!

Is making a Monero paper wallet possible?

[MCOnyx]

Can't download binaries either from MEGA. Someone upload somewhere else please, thanks.

API is the "right way" to do it, but if it's not complete it may be possible to make graphic wallet as a front-end to command line one...

Patience, it eventually works
