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

[dEBRUYNE]

Update from MoneroMooo:

Another milestone done. This one took longer because I took a break after the 0.9 push.

Main things I've done on this milestone:

• fixes for the wallet creating txes over max size the daemon will accept
• more work on tests (including tests for the MRL-0004 changes)
• going through all the V1/V2 stuff to catch what I saw was wrong
• fix for txes not expiring from pool due to other nodes coming online regularly
• better handling of pending/failed txes in simplewallet
• new command/RPC to flush txes from the txpool
• preventing two daemons from using the same data dir concurrently
• more intelligent handling against duplicate outs

I keep my xmr in a mymonero.com wallet.  Last time I logged in, it gave me a message that I have to pay 10 xmr to import my transactions.  What happened?
My old address is gone, and the wallet won't show my balance.

Edit:  when that happened, I was using a Japanese VPN.  I switched to a U.S. vpn, logged in again and my wallet works normally.  Can somebody explain?

You definitely used the same login key each time, right? If so, then it sounds like the VPN is doing something funny. The only time it would show you a different address is if your seed / keys were modified by poisoned Javascript. I'd be VERY nervous using that VPN.

Same 13 words.  It has a checksum, so it's highly unlikely this thing happened as a result of mistyping it.
I was using the Android OpenVPNConnect app and the University of Tsukuba VPN software, which is used by hundreds of vpn servers in dozens of countries.  Go to vpngate.net, choose a server and decide whether you want to use OpenVPN, IPsec, SSL or sstp.  I chose a server in Japan, because it has the highest throughput.
It seems strange, if this was malware, that they would ask for 10 xmr, when presumably the goal is to get the contents of my wallet.
I'll transfer my funds from mymonero to a different wallet.

Regardless of the discussion above, simplewallet is more privacy preserving than MyMonero because the latter needs your viewkey in order to show the balance.

you remind me of child_harold of SDC, or whats he called.
always bashing other coins/projects :p

Contempt can be earned, and thus merited.   Destroying other people's substance, whether by incompetence, recklessness, or malice, is one way to earn contempt.

Contempt can also be given, unearned.  To avoid being misled one must exercise discernment between cases.

to use offline.  After sending coins from mymonero.com to the new wallet, how do I send coins from the new wallet?  It looks like I am going to need another wallet.
I own only Android devices, no windows, Apple or Linux.

I believe that prompt is only if you wish to transfer from a pre-existing wallet therefore my guess is the password string was being malformed.

So if I had gone along with the prompt, my money would have gone to a wallet for which I don't have the password.
We're starting to see some of the problems facing monero adoption here.  
I'm cagey enough.  I logged out when I saw that.  But another might fall prey and lose all his money.  
And this isn't caused by hackers or some kind of malware.  It's a system failure.

The wallet generator you linked is to make paper wallets, these are usually used to store coins and not really to transact with. If you want a wallet to transact with better use simplewallet.

There is an android wallet app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ionicframework.monerowallet116498&hl=nl

However, I strongly advise you to don't store large amount in an app. Better to use either simplewallet or generate a (cold) paper wallet with the Monero wallet generator (Moneroaddress).

EDIT: Also, I think the issue you are reporting is due to something on your end.

Use simplewallet! It is easy!

where can i find a monero wallet client for 32 bit users? it seems like 32 bitusers like me are left behind for monero.

 this simple wallet download page don't work anymore https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=613072.msg6787334#msg6787334

The devs are working on finalizing the official 32-bit binaries. Until then you can use the unofficial binaries that are posted here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/433w2u/new_32bit_binaries_for_v091/

Hyc is the author of LMDB (database Monero uses), thus pretty trustworthy.

I'll wait for it. I hate binaries. haven't been successful installing tarballs. which webwallet is recommended by the way?

All right.

Things are looking good fellas. Question - Related to the forthcoming GUI release, are there plans for a Smartphone wallet? (Is that a heavy chore, specifically with XMR compared to other cryptos or roughly the same? Understanding we are not putting the blockchain on smartphones.  )

Thx in advance,

Nice high-volume rally is starting.  Cheap XMR are being gobbled up by the thousands, like whales feeding on plankton.   

AFAIK, the 0MQ RPC type stuff has created a solid foundation on which devs may build out the GUI and secure Android/iOS clients.

There is already the Monero android wallet:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ionicframework.monerowallet116498&hl=nl

If I recall correctly saddam was optimizing that as well.

Also, from the official GUI thread:

Another goal is to make the GUI portable to smartphones.

MAAM #3 - Monero Ask Anything Monday:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/45tdaf/maam_3_monero_ask_anything_monday/

[villabacho]

Hi, I just noticed that the amounts reported by the two simplewallet commands

1) "show_transfers in"
2) "incoming_transfers"

do not sum up to the same value. The second one sums to the same value as what "balance" says (I didn't have any outgoing transfers from this wallet),
while the first one is missing one transaction with two outputs.

I'd like to use the first of the to commands as it nicely groups the outputs of each transaction and tells me the block height as well,
but if it misses transactions I'll have to stick with the second one for now.

Anything that I should know? Is the "show_transfers" command kind of experimental?

Thanks!

Monerodo OS iso file updated

http://nodebox.link/

iso should properly set up networking to 192.168.1.199

will only work on home networks with gateways 192.168.1.1

[MoneroMooo]

while the first one is missing one transaction with two outputs.

The info show_transfers uses was originally not stored by default, but was switched to be on by default later on. If this is the case, the missing tx would be the first one. Is the missing tx the first one ?

An interesting test is to also run rescan_bc from the wallet, and see it that fixes it. If it does, it's likely a bug in the handling of blockchain reorgs in the wallet.
