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

[Hueristic]

Where is our overweight developer ? I haven't seen him post in a while..

chattin to him right now recording a missive. what're you doin?

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

We don't need your botnet.

[Hueristic]

There is a clear case of intent here.

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...

Hear hear!

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

yes, give it a try, it worked very well for me, but first i had all the same problems like you have now.

remember: this is not an official release! use it very carefully therefore.
i would only do small transactions with it, better save than sorry

Awesome news!! We should donate moar xmr to our friend Atrides, hes working hard on Freebazaar - Openbazaar fork /s
https://github.com/freebazaar?tab=activity

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

You mean FreeBazaar?

I doubt OpenBazaar is a scam, with it having just received 1 million dollars.

Hey guys, I was asking about making Paper Wallets for Monero a page or so back. I only have like 50 Monero coins, which I know is not much, but I want to stash them away safely and just try and forget about them until I check back in on what they're worth in the future. Don't want to be tempted to spend/sell them if I need some BTC for a purchase.

A few people pointed out MyMonero.com as a good web wallet. In your opinion, can the site be trusted to hold my Monero funds securely for a while? And is that the user fluffypony's project?

Yes and yes. Also AFAIK you get some 13 word mnemonic seed , which should enable you later to create also a real wallet with the ?23? word seed if needed to and in case the site goes down.

Or follow this:

it says cold wallet, but its really paper wallet. Its cold paper.

Does somebody likes to play agar.io from time to time?
I had a nice advertisement up for about 20 minutes

Bump because it is an awesome idea.
agar.io have a huge traffic and allow us to advertise about Monero while having some fun.

Well I just tried 2 different times to create an account/wallet on MyMonero.com and got "server error" each time after tediously writing down the mnemonics each time. I was on the latest version of the Tor browser bundle if this makes a difference.

dude, just download the binaries, run simplewallet, get the seed there.

no blockchain necessary

Tor is not 100% safe. There was cases of people getting their wallet stolen using blockchain.info through Tor because of corrupted Tor-nodes.
I don't know if theses flaws has been addressed today but I would be careful.
You better use a VPN.

You should never trust any web wallet regardless of who is developing it. Just like you should never trust any exchanges with your funds. The largest theft of coins originated from compromised online web wallets (blockchain.info), exchanges (Gox/Mintpal) and marketplaces (countless). Trust yourself and your own system and never take advice from anywhere who says otherwise.

Monero=money what do this coin now?

The biggest problem with XMR paper wallets right now is the lack of an easy way to use the view key to verify a balance.

For example if someone sends XMR to your cold wallet how can you verify that transfer? You cant unless you run the daemon and turn the "cold wallet" into a hot wallet.

Finding a way to make the view key function work for users should be a top priority. Until then cold wallets are only good if YOU are the one who send the XMR to the cold wallet (from a hot wallet under your control).

If I am wrong and there is a way to use the view key to verify payments send to a cold storage address please correct me.

Can't correct ya, newb, 'cuz you're right.

Except if you build from current master.
There's a save_watch_only command. It saves a wallet keys file with just the view key, which you can then send elsewhere and load normally in simplewallet, and you can't spend with it, just see incoming txes.
There's another branch in development that will allow outgoing payments to use a scheme that's compatible with this too, so you will be able to see those as well.

I was worried about Monero not having an easy way to view wallets with the special key since its a very important feature, no more! https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/bitmonero/commit/5d220061ec99b227ab2910e2fa6f0490bd64b2dc

Excellent job!
