[1440424168] libunbound[1011:0] error: can't create socket: Too many open files

This problem is still being worked on. I can only recommend restarting periodically as you proposed. It only affects Mac OS.

Nope, i am sorry to say that this same bug is affecting Linux64bit also

I guess I got bad information on that, but it could be good news since that may make it easier to debug.

I hope so

then simplewallet is dead, killed.
looks like you have to handle this throw more carefully.

this one is on win7 x64. transfered 20 xmr with mixing 100 

btw this one is:

Code:

bitmonero v0.8.8.7-7792255

keep it up!

[ArticMine]

I used to get the too many open files error every 2-4 days running the tagged 0.8.8.6 release on 64bit GNU/Linux. v0.8.8.7-107eeaf on the other hand has been really stable for me.

[MoneroMooo]

For those who can get this on Linux, the output of this command might help, executed after you see such a message (assuming bitmonerod doesn't die just after the error):

ls -l /proc/`pidof bitmonerod`/fd

DO NOT DEPOSIT XMR TO CRYPTSY !!

It's NOT POSSIBLE to withdraw coins once you deposit!!! Their system is broken or so they say. Very suspicious!
I opened a ticket almost 4 days ago, still waiting !!

DAY 7 , STILL UNABLE TO WITHDRAW!

FUCKING CRYPTSY SCAMMERS!!!!

they did this with NXT to me, never again.
they were unable to process my withdrawls for more than one month.

in the end i just capitulated, sold, and withdrew the btc

We warn people and they just don't do a search. :rolleyes:

Let me ask how Tristan does it and I'll get back to you, unless someone else can enlighten us. I'd hope he'd have a cold wallet for the majority of the funds and a hot wallet he can deposit in manually, depending on the rate of withdrawals. This is more or less how BFX does it

What's there not to understand?
For Bitcoin and co they also run 1 wallet, like every other exchange (let aside hot and coldwallets etc).

For Btc and all the clones they generate a new address per user. Then they check if the address has received coins.
For Monero they generate a new payment id per user. Then they check if the payment id has received coins.


It's basically the same way it works, with a minor difference.

For a more sustainable future maybe look if there are also othere exchanges for trading.

We were on Cryptsy voting list #1 for months. https://www.cryptsy.com/coinvotes/
They even took money from paid votes: https://blockchain.info/address/1K1uqcxrjr7zWYwePFz2v6Y3hSxBvMrSJ2?filter=2

Craptsy is the worst exchange in so far as using client funds for insider trading. Getting on that exchange should not be a priority.

Do to the large amount of XMR that flows through Polo the coins should be split for if no other reason then Polo can always forward the seed to the owner in the case of a seizure attempt. Sort of a panic button that when known is in itself a deterrent.

Craptsy has shown a long history of deliberately torpeding all the arbitrage trades one could make there. So my bet is they are quite happy about doing arbitrage trades over there, themselfes.

X1000 not only that, I remember them holding everyone's Doge when it bubbled and paying them back when it tanked. I'll never trust Craptsy they are outright thieves.

As usual Bter Buying 3 points above all the rest. Bter keeps holding price up.

Use link in my sig to sign up. I refuse to link Craptsy or coin-E

Coin-E is unreliable and Crapsty has shady practices.

WAITING patiently to buy!

I must say, I switched from Cryptsy to BTER. Just feels wrong over there.

Well if you like a exchange that holds onto your deposits/withdrawals for hours or days and consistently has a lower price than by all means go back to craptsy. Not to mention all the pump and dump constantly on craptsy were as the price on Bter stays stable and Higher. And I have never had a delay depositing or withdrawing from Bter.

I always decide on where to put my money based on what "feels" right. :rolleyes:

i do not think bittrex is competition to poloniex to be honest. polo showed many times that they are the right choice to be the main xmr exchange. also cryptsy just waited too long in my opinion.

Just my humble opinion:

Craptsy has shown a long history of deliberately torpeding all the arbitrage trades one could make there. So my bet is they are quite happy about doing arbitrage trades over there, themselfes.

Shittrex definitely makes one of the trading fee miracles, they are charging higher fees then all other market competitors but seemingly on occasion charge you more then they are officially announcing. You have to look at your portfolio with eagle eyes.
And if any coin has proven to be a real shitcoin, it always happened to be big on volume at Shittrex (hence my personal, private naming of that place)

end of rambling. I'm in a bad mood since the April Foolers over there at BCN just censored my fair warning from their announcement. Some poor soul dropped ~7.8BTC into that 5 Satoshi crapcoin that usually goes for 3sat, or mostly for 2sat. That one will for sure loose one half of investment on "colored anonymous coins" with shiny GUI (release date 4/1/2015)

always timely, always right on time!

I just finished the content edits for another missive, so its ready for transcription if anyone wants the link.

i know, i know, at this point its like crying wolf, but really, I think missives will be released soon. The one that I just edited is sort of first in a series, so it makes sense for this one to be released first... and this series of missives isn't dependent on core development, so there won't be any of the other types of delays, which have been that we talk about how something is going to be released or finished, and then it turns out there's 3 months (or more!) worth of edge cases to fix or purple monkey dishwasher.

and I'm open for suggestions regarding hosting the file. I've heard rumor that mega's not the place to drop files anymore, so i came across this:

http://wikisend.com/

http://drop.io/

always wonder how these sites do it for free. Maybe they're using the slack model, where you become dependent on the data you've hosted with them and BAM they go surprise, you gotta pay for access now!!

Lost internet once and realized I had no-ones phone numbers anymore! :EEK: And white-pages doesn't work anymore it's more like pay to find a number as opposed to the old days when you had to pay to be private. Unless your a multinational corp then what data do you need?

Just use Poloniex. I had some difficulty with their API the other day, and within 24 hours of opening a support ticket the owner of the site replied with what was wrong with my request. Good exchange, and they review your code too!

This is from last week: https://downloads.getmonero.org/monero.win.x64.v0-9-beta.zip

Exercise the appropriate level of care with it being a beta. We've recently found and solved what we hope to be the only major, breaking database issue (that could have caused major issues if we'd tagged prematurely), but that means that prior LMDB sync ups have to be resynced from scratch or imported from a fresh blockchain.raw export.

I've been trying this on my Win7 machine. I managed to blockchain_export ok from my blockchain.bin, but trying to blockchain_import resulted in the following errors:

In case anyone else encounters this issue, I got it working by simply running the import command again when it crashed. Each time it carried on from where it was when crashing and in the end (at least 12 hours later on a ~5yr old desktop) it finished ok. Currently syncing the last couple of months. Without incident so far.

Quick overview of recent changes to master since last time:

And another update:

The in-tree crypto code can now be regenerated from an authoritative source from Dan Bernstein, to ensure no extraneous changes were inserted.

Transaction keys can now optionally be saved to the cache file (which is now also encrypted too). If you enable this (set store-tx-keys 1), you can use the get_tx_key command to recover them afterwards. There is no tooling yet to make use of them, however.

Several changes were made to the new blockchain code to bring it closer to the original code where appropriate, to diminish the risk of unintended fork.

Misc fixes to compilation, to log filename creation, warning fixes, and other misc stuff. Oh, and libunbound was updated to a newer version. Didn't fix the lingering issue with leaking file descriptors though.

The lock in typically by control over the domain names that is used to link to the content. If the content is moved then all the links are broken. As for monetization of the lock in, here is an extreme, but simple example: How much DASH or BCN can one earn by placing ads on the site once Monero grows?

Hmm, I hadn't seen that paper. I didn't read it fully, but it looks like he "broke" it to an extent at least.

He found a memory reduction that has been incorporated in the reference Cuckoo Cycle miner
for over a year now. As a result, Cuckoo Cycle has strengthened its time-memory trade-off
resistance.

https://github.com/tromp/cuckoo lists 3 bounties for "breaking" Cuckoo Cycle, unclaimed for a year.
