More info would be helpful.

OS?
Free space on HD?
Source of code? (did u compile head, or some other commit?)
System RAM?

as far as I understand the "not found in db", thats normal behavior indicating that the transaction is not in the database, so it should be added to the database. From the way this thing behaves, I think the blockchain import (and converter for that matter) functions as a virtual node, and that the old blockchain is also a virtual node. So essentially, your new blockchain is syncing from an old blockchain - its just that the two of them are files sitting on the same hard drive. Its not like a file conversion, per se - you're actually building the blockchain from scratch, so the "not found in database" is simply the new blockchain going "hey, this isn't in the database, we should add it" as it "syncs" from the old blockchain. I could be wrong though.

I'm trying the converter again now with batch size 10000, just for the hell of it.

Maybe somebody could just upload the lmdb file...?

did you try 1000 like i said?
run it with --batch-size 1000 an then come back if you have problems

edit:i talk about converter

Hey everybody, I have limited knowledge about Monero but I've been wanting to add just a few XMR coins to my modest holdings for a while now to hopefully appreciate over time with some kind of stability. Tonight I just bought 50 XMR on Poloniex for a total of 0.108 BTC which didn't seem like a bad price after looking at past charts on there. Do you think this was a decent price?

And, my main question- Are there any secure and proven Monero address generators and paper wallet sites like bitaddress.org is for Bitcoin? I'm wanting to just make a secure paper wallet or 2, send all 50 XMR to those paper wallets and stash them away from my house but in a safe location to just forget about basically and check on the XMR price 6 months, 1 year, 2 years+ from now and hopefully see some gains. And do you, personally, think the XMR price is stable enough to just buy a bunch and sit on them for a year or 2 and not have any huge losses? I never feel comfortable holding Any altcoins for long periods of time without checking on them regularly.

Sorry for quoting my own post, I just figured it would be buried soon in this thread.

But is there anyway I can make a secure Monero paper wallet without downloading the whole client and blockchain? If I need to do that, to say, generate an address and export the private key, just let me know.

i dont quite get what you want thats why i did not reply.
you can use simplewallet offline without a deamon running and generate an address there as far as i know.
is this what you want? you can just wirte down the seed and finish is your paper wallet

edit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg8246348#msg8246348

i dont think you need a real cold storage for 50 xmr. so looking at the guide above, you need to start at step 5 or 6

edit2: i think you are normaly quite save to make a semi-cold wallet out of your hot wallet. just write down your seed and delete everything else, then restore it again. the guide above shows how to make an ice-cold deep frozen storage using a throw away OS offline


Try it out first with a very small amount in case you do something wrong.

btw if you want something to print out without ever running monero you can use mymonero. however, why not run it..good software

"Proven" could mean different things.

I have a basic JS implementation (thanks MyMonero!) that works. You can PM me if you want to use it, as it's not really ready for public consumption yet.

brilliant. all i could think to do was orbit all the bigger balls, cause they can't keep up.

now, this is all i can think to do.

Kinda, just run the simplewallet in a PC that never connected nor will to the Internet and generate a seed, you just need the simplewallet.

Yes but in the example cited there are overt actions to clear data, including unistalling software and defragmenting the hard drive after the individual involved met with the alleged terrorists, in addition to lying to police. This is very different from someone who as a matter of course does clear data rather than just in the "special" cases that could reasonably be of interest to law enforcement. There is a clear case of intent here.

Naturally, you have multiple browsers.  If one or more gets removed, what other browsers?  As in most confrontational situations, you need to have a decoy you can give up while you decide whether to run, or reload...

add:
most mobile devices are replaced in a year or two anyway

Is it wrong that I'm now visualizing Bitcoin sidechains as blobs that take days to separate, change color permanently, and get stranded off screen?

yeah, I took down that binary, because some of the newer commits address some issues that I thought were important. If you end up getting to run, keep an eye on it. Alternatively you can compile in windows... i will make a video soon about how to do that. I put something on reddit... just youtube my gingeropolous name. I need to redo the video though, the command should be make release-static-64, as per the instructions on github. Damn things changing all the time up in here!

Fair enough. I haven't got the time or the inclination to teach myself how to compile from source right now. I'll probably just wait for further binaries.  

....

I'm trying the converter again now with batch size 10000, just for the hell of it.

Maybe somebody could just upload the lmdb file...?

did you try 1000 like i said?
run it with --batch-size 1000 an then come back if you have problems

edit:i talk about converter

Ah, 1000 was it? Might as well give it a shot. Predictably it crashed again in the same place with size 10000..

I'm mining moneritos, I keep the network secure for you guys, yep, you're welcome..

I just wish "a clear case of intent" would be all that's needed to put the lying illuminatis, banksters, politicians and media behind the bars as well...

Yeah, OpenFreebazaar appears to be a scam at this point (whether originally intended to be or not).
