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

[aiwe]

aiwe, great job on the graphics! Do you have links to where we can download high-quality versions of each (300-dpi jpg, or .psd)?

I will attach vector images on Trello

I made rescan_spent, xmr were reflected in a purse, was updated till 0-9-1-0, in attempt to send xmr wrote Error: transaction <feb341ebc7e9ed474ee1041a61dd82a67152f5ba07c6f2bc10f8cb8f8e1d2d93> was rejected by daemon with status: Failed, made once again rescan_spent, writes again that on balance these coins aren't present, and in show_transfers there is pending out 113.800000000000 f9e2551e60ec55c0caca725dd07c6e23c48175398387edfc35289f369d2cea08 0000000000000000 0.340000000000 how to return them? or to make that reached the destination?

prompt, please, how to return coins?

Try this
1. Exit simplewallet
2. Make sure your wallet.bin.keys file is securely backed up
3. Delete the wallet.bin file.
4. Exit daemon
5. Remove poolstate.bin file
6. Restart daemon
7. Restart simplewallet.
8. Wait for wallet to rescan (may take some time).
9. Check balance and resend coins
EDIT: Added steps 4-6

Thanks a lot, coins are displayed in a purse now, but I can't send them a purse Error answers: transaction &lt;6643070e524e0fbde6cb6107fe8faacacb18f9ce7f1ea43c15a126fe0c2a4513&gt; was rejected by daemon with status: Failed
demon writes [RPC0] [on_send_raw_tx]: Failed to process tx
prompt, please, as to correct it?

Currently it's a bug in Monero. Your coins are frozen until it will be fixed.
In source code exist "pending_timeout", but not realized, therefore pending coins are pending forever.

Even with rebuild wallet file and with deleted poolstate, you cannot send your coins.
The daemon gets new poolstate from other daemons (and they have you old transaction, overall) or if daemon try to send forward, get rejects from other nodes.

Doesn't that get fixed in this PR? -> https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/pull/630

EDIT: Atrides, could you link us to the source code where "pending_timeout" exists?

There's no such thing as pending_timeout, are you thinking of something else?

Transactions fall out of the mempool 24 hours after the local node's receive_time for that tx, the issue is that a handful of these transactions are perpetually stuck because, as you correctly state, you'll receive the transaction again if it's out your mempool and a node rebroadcasts it (there are various conditions under which this can occur).

The larger issue was a bug that allowed valid post-March-fork transactions to enter the mempool in its pre-March-fork state. That has been fixed, and we will put out a point release this week pending one other fix, as discussed in the Monero Dev Meeting this past Sunday.

Yes, that fixed issue.
2Mutovin, you need to compile from source, 9.1.0 has still this bug.

"pending_timeout" was here "bitmonero/external/unbound/services/outside_network.h"
But only as "struct", I thought it was planned to implement in the future.

Are you in charge of Monero Club? Can you share your future vision for it with the community?

[iCEBREAKER]

You are right.

Maybe I spam with this chart too much. If so we can move to trello for example.

Let's not make it too detailed.  This bikeshed has already been painted with three coats and a gloss!  

Less is more.  Use the oligiodynamic effect.

The goal is to allow people's intuition (which they trust) to do the heavy conceptual lifting.

Don't raise the cognitive load and visual complexity with a bunch of text and stuff all crammed together.




That is ready to be printed on stickers for viral marketing.

Enigmatic is good.  We automatically ignore adverts but are drawn to puzzles.

Let people figure it out.  Or put a QR code for getmonero on the bottom.    

Hmm....the dollar bills look a little scrunched in the avatar.  Perhaps just a big $ would be better for low res...

The colours are still ugly and muddy.

I've thought about this last year, but would anyone be interested in going in with me to get a bunch of stickers made with a corresponding QR code that directs people to the getmonero page? I was recently thinking about printing out stickers like that with just the original Monero logo, but I feel like that logo would better intrigue people. I travel a good bit, and also live close to a college town, so I could easily post them on campus and anywhere else I go I travel for work. I would be trying to target a younger group of people, so I would probably stick to areas that might garner attention, like around the bar areas and such.

Do you guys even think it would be worth it? would a direct link to getmonero be the best website to direct people to learn more about it? I feel like there might need to be an even more generic landing page for something like this for people who have never heard of Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general, since I feel like getmonero is more intended for a group that has familiarized themselves with cryptos.

What do you guys think?

[wpalczynski]

Sounds like an idea for the FFS.  A little marketing wouldn't hurt.

Could Monero get on 1ex.trade pls?

Thnx!

Great, I indeed just received this email. Apparently they could fix it without dev support.

Hello,

Monero has been fixed but thanks for your suggestion. Have a great day!

[coinits]

Been out of the loop for a long time due to life getting in the way.

I just downloaded monero.win.x64.v0-9-0-0. Any instructions that I can refer to?

Thanks!

[1] Unzip / extract the file in a directory you prefer.

[2] Start bitmonerod.exe, this is the daemon. It'll begin to sync from scratch. The syncing time depends on a variety of factors, for instance your bandwith, computer specifications and type of harddrive. However, type of harddrive explains most of the difference in syncing time. On an SSD it usually takes about an hour to sync from scratch, whereas it will take a few hours with an HDD (might even be a bit longer).

[3] If bitmonerod.exe (the daemon) is synced (it will notify you with something like: "bitmonerod has synced, you can now use simplewallet"), you can open up simplewallet.exe and create a wallet (or import / restore an existing one).

If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask!

Perfect!

Took me a while but I finally got it installed and I let it sync from scratch. How exactly do I transfer my existing wallet? Obviously copy and pasting doesn't work. Does anyone have step-by-step instructions that they could point me to?

Thanks

That should work, wallets from older binaries are compatible with newer binaries conditional on being created on the same OS.

^^ Option to allow plugins for XMR.to and ShapeShift.io, wow!!

[phishead]

^^ Option to allow plugins for XMR.to and ShapeShift.io, wow!!

So because it would allow shapeshift, does that mean the GUI would be able to hold Bitcoin too?

No it means you could enter a BTC address and pay using the XMR in your wallet via xmr.to or shapeshift. Potentially, I suppose a plug in to hold BTC is not out of the question but that is not the originally envisioned use case.
