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

[dEBRUYNE]

Wasn't there talk of the feature to import funds into mymonero by using just the deterministic seed? Is this integrated now and if so does anyone know how to do so?

Yes there is and it is currently working:

MyMonero has added existing wallet import functionality. Just use your 25 word mnemonic from simplewallet when logging in, and after paying the 10 XMR once-off fee your wallet will be available in MyMonero.

More info can be found here:

That's two now. You need a donation address, friend!

You're welcome!

If you intend to donate some to me, please forward it to the devs donation adress:

Funds will, in my opinion, get a more appropriate use then

Just dropped by to say Farewell and Adieu.
Turns out we're not related after all. It was fun hanging out smooth. I daresay we'll meet again. All the best.

XMR has been nominated!

Anyway http://news.diginomics.com/evolution-marketplace-collapse-violates-bitcoin-fungibility/

It is not a Bitcoin clone, and the wallet is only officially available via command line – no graphical user interface is available for this piece of technology yet.

lol, why do they have to mention it doesn't have a GUI? How come this is always so important.
Shouldn't the privacy features be more important in a article such as this one?

And they always fail to mention how Darkcoin/DASH is an instamined scam. If Monero had changed its social contract, virtually giving a fishslap in the face of every new user/investor, it would have a marketcap bigger than Litecoin died because the lack of ponzinodes, thats the only reason DASH/Darkcoin is mentioned.

And on top of that they have no idea how it works

"Monero groups all transactions with everyone else who transacted on that block through what is called ‘ring signatures’, and obscures where the coins came from and went, by forcing them to become a part of a group of transactions. This promises a high level of anonymity. Monero is also enjoying a healthy increase in value in recent weeks."

I don't know all of the underlying magic that happens, but I know thats not it - it uses any input, not just ones in the active block. God, if it were ones transacted on that block, we'd all be "grouped" with the coin generation transaction! (because most blocks these days are just 1 transaction)

Thats a honest misunderstanding I would say, its technically incorrect but thats how [bit looks[/b] from outside

Agree, its a common misconception. Ultimately, unless you get into the technical details it gives more of less the right idea. Occasionally someone will ask what happens if there aren't enough transactions in a block or something like that, at which point we explain more accurately how it actually works.

"more or less" - I would go with less. By implying that it has to do with a particular block and the transactions in that block, that might lead someone to think that its an active process as opposed to the passive process that it actually is.

But then again, I really didn't understand it that well until today.... so yeah.

Look, I'm not saying it is accurate at all. But for people who just understand this at the level of electronic currency and maybe have at best some vague notion of what a block even is, just the idea that transactions get combined together somehow and you can't trace it is a good enough big picture.

Yes it would be better if reporters always got the technical details correct, but that is not realistic.

Im sick of hearing about DRK/DASH i wont invest a single cent in it either.
Its all just a big P&D and nothing more, totally instamined, very unfair distribution etc.
Anyway they are spreading the word around that Monero has a Backdoor built into it which was planned by the NSA if you please!

Where do they conjure up such conspiracy theories??

From a shitty web site (that doesn't even exist any more) where you can pay some guy to write an article on any coin for 1 BTC. I wouldn't be surprised if some DRK supporter paid for it. No evidence for that, just 'follow the money'

Yeah doesnt surprise me at all!
The DRK community were trolling the Monero and XC threads heavily last year and did alot of damage, it will take alot of time for us to recover, but the price of Monero is fairly stable when you compare it to DRK/DASH

btw i need a nice writeup on privacy for a monero thunderclap

[orinoco]

Curious - I sent 10 XMR out of my wallet, and it seems to have locked a bunch of my coins?

Code:

Starting refresh...
Refresh done, blocks received: 1025
balance: 200.305189815327, unlocked balance: 200.305189815327
[wallet 435cjH]: transfer
Error: wrong number of arguments
[wallet 435cjH]: transfer 0 <address> 10 <pymt ID>
Money successfully sent, transaction <a1c5d91c061f24f55e5fb50ac506751875ca681bee3e14e5f64f700b1da3d9ce>
[wallet 435cjH]: refresh
Starting refresh...
Refresh done, blocks received: 4
balance: 190.295189815327, unlocked balance: 109.065189815327

Anyone know whats up here?  Using simplewallet v0.8.8.7-cd31ea9  (built the binary from GIT yesterday - the wallet I created in May 2014)

I've only ever seen unlocked balances while waiting for incoming confirmations on transfers to my wallet.

Locked coins are what you know from Bitcoin as "change".

If you have an output of 10 xmr and pay 5 xmr to someone you get 5 xmr back - the change money. Same as for Dollarbills etc.
Those are available to spend after they have been confirmed 6 times.
Basically you send 5 coins to the receiver and you send 5 coins back to you, both transactions need to get confirmations before they are unlocked.

I've only ever seen unlocked balances while waiting for incoming confirmations on transfers to my wallet.

It's the same, your change-transaction is send to your wallet and waits for confirmation, while i write that here your coins should already be unlocked (confirmed) again.

I have a strange issue that occurred while sending out xmr from mymonero to poloniex the other day, which has left me wondering where several thousand of my xmr have disappeared to....

The amount sent from mymonero does not correspond to the amount reported by moneroblocks when searching with the payment ID, which in turn does not correspond to the amount received by poloniex. From mymonero to poloniex there is a discrepancy of -4000 xmr...


Where do I start to figure out what is going on here?

just curious if Mr. 4000 xmr above here got it all squared away?
