Im having nothing but trouble with this currency ever since ive mined them.

Im using moneroX and it says synchronising with network and 0 connections!


What am i supposed to do?

honestly just bail on moneroX and use the beta binaries for the next release. Its CLI but its really not that hard. When in doubt, type help.

Is it possible to import my wallet.bin into my monero online?

You could send the coins from it to the online wallet using the daemon.

Well i tried that some time back and it would not let me, telling me the transaction was too large, even sending one at a time failed, hence why im trying another wallet.

Do you have your mnemonic seed noted down somewhere? With that you can simply restore the wallet using another client (such as MyMonero).

Im not sure what that would be, but i expect this is the data stored in my wallet.bin?

[saddambitcoin]

The mnemonic seed is the list of words that you can use to restore your wallet, this is generated when you create a wallet.

I see you were trying to use MoneroX, what were you using before?

If you are using simplewallet it is easy to get the mnemonic seed by typing "seed".

The .bin.keys file is the important one, remember that. The only way to import your wallet to MyMonero online is with the mnemonic seed. You can't just get this by looking at the .bin.keys file because it is encrypted, so open with simplewallet and type seed.

The "transaction too large" error is a problem that to my knowledge is fixed in the current versions of simplewallet. If you are not able to compile the latest version of the wallet from source, try sending to another address with 0 mixin (transfer 0 <address> <amount>). If you DO have a new version of simplewallet there is a command called "sweep_dust" that does this for you.

The reason you are getting transaction too large is that you have a lot of dust outputs.

i was using simplewallet, i will try that and see if it works in my monero.

It should work but be advised there is a 10 XMR "import fee" for doing this.

The reason for the fee is that it is somewhat of an intense CPU process to rescan the wallet from 0.

OK, ive tried the latest simplewallet and i have not had any error, but the balance still remains in my wallet after sending.
When i made the transfer i got all this garbage scroll down the screen like this:

It went on for pages, but this is some of it:

output amount = 0.004349098706, fount outputs to mix = 1
output amount = 0.002351132177, fount outputs to mix = 1
output amount = 0.001602595062, fount outputs to mix = 2
output amount = 0.001502431017, fount outputs to mix = 1

Ok, that is because the transfer is not being made.

Can you confirm you are sending your transaction with 0 mixin?

If you type "help" and see the "sweep_dust" option you can also try that.

I sent with the recommended level of 3 mixin. I tried sweep_dust and it says its an unknown command.

Update: 5 more for today making it a total of 10 for today.  I checked a few minutes ago and there were 3 more and then when I double checked 2 more had just been merged.  So this is what fluffypony is doing at 1:30AM on New Years Eve

It's still early for me.

You're going to have to send with 0 mixin if you want to move those coins. What you can do is create another wallet and then transfer 0 to that new wallet. This will consolidate your outputs and now you can send again to your intended destination with mixin 3.

Not having the sweep_dust command means your version of the wallet is old. You should get the version from github, one of the recent beta builds, or wait for the new release. But like saddambitcoin said, you can just use mixin 0 with the older wallet. The world won't come crashing down because one person used mixin 0.

OK, i might be better waiting for the new build. I tried transferring with mixin 0 and it says i dont have enough money to transfer which is odd, since my balance is more than im trying to send out.

I thought my build was the latest one available, but i will try the beta release.

Happy New year everyone!

I want to link to the latest Monero missives episode about integrating I2P to learn some peeps about what real fungibility looks like.

It would be nice to point them to http://monero.org/missives/
But it doesn't seem updated...

Can I get a direct link to the mp3 or something?
Never mind, I must be dumb, found the link from show notes, duh.  (And thanks for the help nioc)

http://traffic.libsyn.com/monero/Monero_Missives_Podcast_for_the_week_of_2015-12-26.mp3

Still would be nice to have easy url to point to... Maybe I'll make that my own little New year's resolution...

somewhere there is an ipod link but since I don't use that I have the following bookmarked.

Edit: Here is the original post, off to work I go 

Where is the podcat?  I don't see it at it's usual location on the Monero Forum.

Half the fun is finding it.

I guess the forum listing isn't updated yet.

Monero Missives

In this week's episode we interview psi, from the I2P project, and also announce the new Monero Kovri project, an open-source C++ router. The source can be found here: https://github.com/monero-project/kovri   Until next week! (this is now a running joke...right guys?)

In case you don't have iTunes -> http://podbay.fm/show/1032156854/e/1451151298?autostart=1

EDIT: FYI: There is some discussion in the missive about I2P vs TOR. However, if I understood correctly, you can run I2P either as I2P-only, I2P/IP bridged or IP-only (see -> https://getmonero.org/design-goals/). Thus, the latter will still make it possible for you to run Monero over TOR socks. I am not entirely sure about this, so if what was stated is incorrect, feel free to correct me.

Who-hooo!!!! It's the best present from Santa. I'm running  Monero 'Hydrogen Helix' (v0.9.0.0-release)     

[dewdeded]

Hydrogen Helix
https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/releases/tag/v0.9.0

Overview
Too much to describe. Represents a major release in Monero's history, over a year-and-a-half in the making.

Some highlights
- moved from in-RAM database to a backend-agnostic blockchain database
- created an LMDB blockchainDB implementation (with the help of Howard Chu, the creator of LMDB)
- created a BerkeleyDB blockchainDB implementation
- created an OS-agnostic raw blockchain format
- built tools to convert between blockchain implementations, as well as import and export them
- added ARM support
- brought back 32-bit support (WIP)
- added QoS (bandwidth control)
- added OpenAlias support
- fixed all (previously broken) unit tests and core tests
- implemented daemonize for proper backgrounding of the Monero daemon
- drastically increased sync speed
- included block headers in the source
- designed and implemented a stealth payment ID scheme
- designed and implemented a unified address+payment ID scheme
- implemented a hard fork mechanism
- changed the block time to 2 minutes
- implemented the MRL-0001 and MRL-0004 recommendations
- added tons of simplewallet / rpcwallet / daemon commands
- added a dust handler to simplewallet
- created a multilanguage mechanism, implemented in simplewallet
- bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes
- completely overhauled the CMake (with the help of Kitware, the creators of CMake)
- added a bad peer auto-banning mechanism
- refactored a ton of code, added a ton of comments
- added a core crypto implementation based on SUPERCOP ref10
- switched to a triangular distribution for output selection
- added multiple new mnemonic wordlists, including Russian and Italian
- created a "trusted daemon" system for remote daemon use[/li][/list]

In total this represents 922 commits worth of work by 9 contributors. This will probably be the biggest release in Monero's history, everything from here on out can be done as faster point releases.

Updating: Blockchain Conversion
It is highly recommended that you delete the contents of your Monero working directory and sync from scratch. This directory can be found in ~/.bitmonero on Linux and OS X, and on Windows in \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero or \ProgramData\bitmonero.

Syncing from scratch is EXTREMELY fast in this version, pretty much at bittorrent speeds, and will leave you with a fully verified blockchain.

Alternatively: if you want to grab the bootstrap (NOTE: there is a new bootstrap format!) off the website then you can get it at https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw - once downloaded you can import it with blockchain_import --input-file /path/to/your/download.raw. If you're particularly brave you can pass the --verify 0 flag to skip verification during import.

If you REALLY want to convert your old blockchain: you can either use the blockchain_converter tool, or you can use blockchain_export to create a blockchain.raw, followed by blockchain_import to import it into the new LMDB format.
