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

[jwinterm]

New version of LightWallet available: v0.2
https://github.com/jwinterm/LightWallet2
https://github.com/jwinterm/LightWallet2/releases

Now written in Java using Libgdx library, designed to work with Monero release v0.9.x.
...

Do you happen to have any documentation for compiling the jar from source?

(and Thank you!  This has the potential to be huge!)

It is a gradle project, so, at least using eclipse you would just import the root folder as a gradle project, then export the desktop sub-project as a runnable jar. I'm pretty sure it's fairly similar using other ides or gradle on command line.

This is for importing a freshly generated project, but should be similar/same:
https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Gradle-and-Eclipse

Their wiki is very helpful in general, also instructions for exporting executables for different targets there. The exe is just the runnable jar with a logo icon.

Is there any site where I can use view key to check the balance of the wallet? I guess I can use the simplewallet for that, but is there any site for it? Or any other solution?

I don't think view key lets you see balance, actually, only received amounts.

It does work for cold storage.

Alternately, if you can account for spends another way, you can then subtract them, giving a balance. This is a bit tricky to do correctly since change will be scanned by the view key, so you have to subtract the payment amount plus the change amount on any spends.

Yea. I am looking some way to check the balance of my cold storage, paper wallet. Would be great if the view key gave balance directly without need for user to do any calculations. But it is possible also that way.

But is there any site for that? Or have I to use some wallet software?

If you only want to confirm receipt of funds from one or a few transactions (and you know the IDs for those transactions), you could use http://xmr.llcoins.net/checktx.html.

yeah im trying to wrap my head around why the viewkey  / spendkey can't be used to scan for which output has been used as an input in a view-only mode. I know I've read it explained before, but I think it was on the order of "well the viewkey shows you what outputs are yours, and the spendkey lets you spend those outputs" . I mean I get part of the problem - having the spendkey does allow you to spend that output, so hence making a viewonly wallet with just the viewkey.

would it be possible (somehow) to hash the spendkey, and then somehow scan the blockchain with a hashed-spendkey...  but then you'd need to somehow extract from each transaction... the term i want to use eventually is dehash, and I know thats unpossible (indeed the whole purpose of the whole thing).

So I guess really the solution would be a 3rd key?

What was the new enable-tracking or whatever I saw in the simplewallet. didn't I just recently ask this? i need more sleep.

No, that, uh, won't work.

What does work is creating key images for every output discovered by the view key scan. Of course this requires bringing your paper/cold wallet at least to a running state (can be an offline computer).

There is no (merged) simplewallet stuff for this yet. It'd be something like "watch-friendly"; store-tx-info is not related at all.

Wanted to convert some bits to Monero today using ShapeShift.io, but it says Monero (offline).

Strangely enough when I used the direct link https://shapeshift.io/?pair=BTC_XMR it worked perfectly fine, received the XMR within minutes. Is this a common issue with ShapeShift? Seems buggy to me (the btc balance shows zero, but you can just make the transaction anyway).

Edit: contacted ShapeShift.io support, waiting for a reply.

Will Monero Market Capitalization be over $8M at the end of 1st half 2016? Yes or no? Dare to bet in Bitcoin?

So now that the monerodo OS is out, im kinda bored and don't know what to do.

If you have suggestions for what next with the monerodo OS, please let me know here:

https://forum.getmonero.org/20/general-discussion/2474/monerodo-os-discussion

i started trying to integrate a fancier menu thing, but it hasn't been behaving like I would like so far.

what's on bittrex with XMR?
continuously adding and deleting buys and sells...
an insane bot playing with himself?

Others have complained about it as well, namely that it was nearly impossible to buy (using limit order bids) with that bot active. If I recall correctly, the price there pretty much follows the one on poloniex, therefore the bot action. Why not use poloniex and/or shapeshift?

[aiwe]

Because on Shapeshift XMR is inactive I managed to exchange BTC to XMR at https://www.changer.com/
It took longer time comparing to Shapeshift but it worked for me.

Sent ShapeShift an email about the issue, but in the meanwhile you can use the direct link:

I think only using simplewallet right now, but it is possible someone else knows of another way.

What is the command in simplewallet to that?

It is this one:

Code:

  --generate-from-view-key arg         Generate incoming-only wallet from 
                                       (address:viewkey:filename) and save it 

Sorry I did not get the point completely. I tried this.

--generate-from-view-key arg (49bPEMu2NiJCDPAvzDDTJCfcRKcdSmB5P3XFbMbw7m1rJt7cotJeFJEZVhTFguYeQ4TNEvPwAbtF5Ps JQ9iEKz8mH2WmQo3:794d99ba442931954d00de7621b8f62a85692fbffd544590a0f5d913149fed0a:lookwallet)

Simplewallet says unknown command. Can you give a example command with those same address, viewkey and filename.

What would be the exact GPU with the highest H/s ?
And how much H/s would it / does it do?

Is 290X really the fastest one available?

What's important for a high hash rate?

High GPU Clock?
High memory clock?
High volume of memory?
High bus speed?

of the reported hashrates, the 290x is the best available.

In my experience with nvidia maxwell architecture (750 series), the GPU clock is important (for instance there's a 750 ti with a clockrate of 1020, and there's one with 1200. The 1020 gets 250 h/s, the 1200 gets 280 h/s. Both use the same amount of memory as reported by nvidia-smi command).

Volume of memory is also important. For instance, the 750 (not the 750 ti) has 1 gig of memory, and can only get ~200 h/s with the 1020 Mhz clock.

Wolf has studied this the most (in AMD cards at least), so he could probably provide some insight.

At first try something happened and simplewallet printed its promt

[wallet 4AXR75]:

few times.


Then, trying again, simplewallet just gives unknown command. Might be this because blockchain has not synchronized yet. I downloaded the monero blockchain bootstrap. How it can be connected to the simplewallet or the bitmonored? To which one of those it has to be connected?

Watch-only wallet shows incorrect balance - it shows sum of all incoming transactions, if there were payments from the wallet balance will be wrong.

yeah ure bitmonerod needs to be running and syncd

[pönde]

I guess this Monero bootstrap-file
https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw
is there to avoid for waiting the synchronization of the bitmonerod to the blockchain.

So how the bootstrap-file can connected to the bitmonerod?

i think that might do it. Here's the whole help dump

WHOA!!!!!  
  
Someone made a fancy version of my concept I did a few months ago!  So awesome - I love it!  Are you responsible for this GTO911?  
  

edit: I'm doing some digging - it was user aiwe?  So cool to see; thank you for keeping the concept alive and growing.  Also I agree with the bone simple version.  Yes, it can be technically nitpicked, but the idea is to show how Monero is the holy grail of money to someone who doesn't understand or know about Monero in the first place.  It's not trying to be an end-all technical reference.  
  
If someone likes, they can make two versions: an intro version (this one), and an advanced one showing all sorts of tiny technical details.

I'd like an even more simplified version, with the outer word-labeled circles cropped leaving only the three gold/cash/BTC icon fields surrounding our logo.

That would be avatar-worthy....
