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

[firedoner]

hello i have tried this method and it says my password is still invalid... i dont understand why as its the same password, is there another method... or do you think i will have more luck with the new gui wallet?

thanks for you help

it kinda seems like you just forgot your password. did you try 'x' for password? or nothing? capslock?

dude theres no way i could have forgotten, i had it written on two docs, ive gone through all the previous versions of the txt doc i put it on, and the password is correct, so i dont know why i cant get into my wallet

i took extra precautions with xmr for the fact that i didnt want to lose money and its a great coin... i dont understand why it worked before and not now if its literally exactly same password

IDK man i find it really hard to believe. the cryptonote protocol doesn't just forget your passwords. i don't mean to be a dick but it is 99% likely that you are at fault here. If you wrote the password down correctly, and it is coming back as incorrect, you probably made a typo when you typed it into the daemon. it doesn't ask you to repeat the password when you generate a wallet, and it reads as ******** so there is no way to see if you made a type or not. my advice would be to try the password again in the daemon with all the likely typos, example if f is the first letter of your password, try it with all the keys surrounding f instead (c,d,r,t,g,v) and do that for all the other letters and i bet you will get it after a few tries.

again, not to be a dick, but I would bet 100 xmr you are the one at fault here not the daemon lol.

youre not being a dick at all lol thanks for helping in what ever way... i will try it, however i restore 5 previous versions all say i have same password since it was created... that same password worked.. is there any way i can hack my own wallet??

if it worked before it should work now. I have no other explination than that, and no, noone can hack a wallet, humans dont currently have the technology to do so.

are you 100% sure you have the correct wallet data in your file folder? i have a few different wallets that i use across 3 machines and sometimes i type the password for wallet 1 into wallet 2 and freak out before quickly realizing i am the one at fault lol. try the typo thing. the daemon did not make a mistake or forget your password so it must be some other error. did you do the 24 seed word thing by any chance?

Silly question but is that file there in the folder and of that name ?

Folder name is not the same as a wallet name, but I tried it with command given for that "simplewallet --wallet-file wallet.bin"

it worked before, so it better work now lool got a decent amount... and it must have been me or something... hmmm not even brute force attaack lol i need these xmr back lol

yes the thing is i only have one xmr wallet... one quazarcoin... and i always copy things two or three times to ensure stuff like this doesnt happen... will try all possible combos

and the 24 word seed was not an available feature with the first cryptonote wallet i created the password in... i tried to run wallet from the old gui i had and it worked... only thing was it didnt initillize as it was old and had been updated many times to the new one

thanks for your imput tho any help is appredciated

You're asking the pool operators to steal from Claymore?

That's propaganda language.  We all know what is actually happening.  Calling it stealing is a way to smear the value judgments of others in an area where precedent is thin and vocabularies thinner.  I consider Claymore's miner a threat to Monero.  Because it is just a miner, it is a relatively low grade threat, but it is still a threat.  He chose to release it freely, with no license for download.  What we do with it is up to us.  There is almost no similarity to stealing. although I admit some tenuous analogy does exist.

"We all know what is actually happening" -- I must be wearing my stupid hat today, because it sounds to me like a pool threatening to take money mined to one address and redistribute it in a way other than what the standard pool contract and fee schedule indicates.  

But please do educate me.  That hat, you see.

It's one thing if an individual miner modifies their copy of the binary to behave in a manner other than the way it did originally.  That's up to the miner, any license on the code that they agree to, etc.  But once that mining reaches the pool, how is it any different from any other user having submitted a share?

Perhaps Claymore also has 100 of his own GPUs mining to that same address.

Perhaps I'm running one of my GPUs mining directly to his donation address as a way to say thank you.

It's not the pool's place to judge unless that's advertised clearly, in advance, with enough time for miners and developers to decide whether they are willing to support that kind of behavior.

The precedent is that pools pay in accordance with their policy regarding shares, found blocks, and pool fees, and they do so reliably and transparently.  The pools that don't do so are stealing, whether they do it by stealing from all users with hidden excess fees, fake extra accounts, or pocketing developer fees.

Just a thought... Are you running multiple keyboard (language) layouts in Windows? Is it possible that you might have entered the password using one keyboard layout, and are now using another one i.e. having a separate English and your particular language keyboard layouts?

[florida.haunted]

Silly question but is that file there in the folder and of that name ?

Folder name is not the same as a wallet name, but I tried it with command given for that "simplewallet --wallet-file wallet.bin"

Have you pass all steps accurately at my instructions:


*WINDOWS USERS* (I think Linux users may do very very the same)

In case of any problem you have encountered with Monero:

1. Backup your wallet.* files.
2. Delete ALL Monero files from your computer.
3. Download 64-bit Monero zip & blockchain.bin from 1st sticky page of this thread.
4. Unzip & place all the files downloaded above to the directory: "C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero".
5. From the backup made at step 1, place wallet.* files ||| EXCEPT wallet.bin ||| into directory at step 4.
6. Start bitmonerod.exe and wait for it to sync with the net.
7. Start simplewallet by the commad prompt: "simplewallet --wallet-file wallet.bin" (name of file that must NOT exist in directory at step 4).
8. When you want to stop any monero executables - ALWAYS type "exit" & be patient.

simplewallet re-creates correct version of wallet.bin for you.

Since you migrate to 64-bit Monero by CORRECT WAY mentioned above - you will never have any problem except being patient due to Monero is currently somewhat slow.

Monero developers are working hard to entirely fix the problem - you may choose either migrate the way I described above, or wait for developers to release a fix.


?

[florida.haunted]

Note that if you named your wallet file not "wallet.bin" but simply "wallet" you have to delete file "wallet", but keep "wallet.keys", etc,
so meaning file name is what you type to simplewallet prompt on starting:

before:

wallet.bin
wallet.bin.keys
wallet.bin.address.txt

after:

wallet.bin.keys
wallet.bin.address.txt

[64-bit] simplewallet --wallet-file wallet.bin

***OR***

before:

wallet
wallet.keys
wallet.address.txt

after:

wallet.keys
wallet.address.txt

[64 bit] simplewallet --wallet-file wallet

I think that the Mega-Pump before the entrance to Mintpal was immoderate and unhealthy, The overwhelming majority of the coins that passing Pumps like this, not sourviving for long.
The Dev's team have to work very hard to restore the value of XMR, I really believe in the coin but I'm Pessimistic.

its a good thought as i hadnt thought of it.... im not too sure if i am running multile keybord languages, how could i check this??

it is very possible to be honest... how would i be able to sort this if this is the case??

thanks dude much appreciated

Pumpsters can do their thing with any coin they like. It says literally nothing about the value proposition of the coin its self.

again, people are putting Monero in the same category as pump and dump coins. It is not.

You can't prevent pumps and dumps. This is how this pandemonium works. Good coins is much more susceptible to pump, because it's less dangerous for whale to pump it. Less chances that someone will dump before whale. Well, correct me, tell me what I am missing.

[I truncated the previous conversation so it does not take too much space]

The fact that you are asking me this probably means that you are running only one, but here is how you can check.

In Windows, go to Control Panel, and from there to Region and Language (this is true on Win7). From the dialog box that will appear click on the Keyboards and Language tab, and once there click on the Change Keyboards button. A new dialog box will appear. If on the list in the Installed Services frame you see a single keyboard format like US or whatever your input language is, then you do not need to worry multiple keyboard layouts, you only have one. If you have more than one in that list, then you can cycle through them with Left Alt + Shift once you cancel out of the all dialog boxes you just opened.
