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

[dEBRUYNE]

Ok screw it. Guess I'll just install the wallet on my other 64-bit machine but not happy about it.

Does the wallet download the whole blockchain?

Yes, you need to start bitmonerod (the daemon) to sync the blockchain. After that you can open simplewallet (make sure bitmonerod is still running) to transact.

At least tell him about the newest benefit on low ram computers since obviously he is running on recycled hardware. Blockchain on the HD rather than using the crap out of your virtual resources. It enables you to run more wallets which should interest you.

I don't know why I am helping.

So isn't there some light wallet like Electrum Monero that doesn't download the whole chain? Dash has two types of wallets, one that downloads the whole chain and another Electrum light wallet. The light wallet is perfect for storage.

Traditional light wallets just try to alleviate RAM usage which is naturally taken care of in this case by dumping the blockchain data to the hard drive. A recent monero change. If I understand it correctly.

Monero did recentl make an official release that moved the db from ram to hd, but there is a way to run a much "lighter" wallet with Monero: because the daemon and wallet are separate you can launch simplewallet using a remote node. Atrides runs a publicly available node that a gui I wrote for simplewallet (imaginatively titled lightwallet) uses by default. You do sacrifice some privacy this way, but you don't need the daemon or blockchain at all.

Just checked. The Dash Electrum wallet takes around 80MB HDD space and eats 29MB of RAM.

Sure - it's small, but does it actually do the job you need it to? With Monero, I don't need to trust some 3rd party to keep my transactions private.

Electrum has a detrimental effect on privacy too, even when using DASH. You can find the Monero lightwallet here -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg13710902#msg13710902

Will better database compression be integrated into the client?
I just compressed the databse with 7-Zip and it has decreased from 7.9GB to 4.2.

It's not 3rd party. It's open source modified code.

Like, I've said. I don't wanna get ripped off using dubious wallets. Why isn't this on the official download page?

It's open source here. Not sure what difference you're talking about then.

By 3rd party, I am referring to Dash masternodes. There are no masternodes in Monero.

One can also run the official simplewallet with a remote node. Node and instructions are here -> https://www.moneroclub.com/node. However, like I and others have stated before, using a remote node has a detrimental effect on privacy.

[krawallmining]

I'd like to see database size decreased, yes. But I surely don't take Dash as a positive example, since I find its privacy concept quite primitive in comparison to Monero.

Just checked. South African Rands take up no disk space and don't eat any RAM. Best of all, they're exceptionally private.

GUYS LET'S ALL SWITCH TO SOUTH AFRICAN RANDS, K TKS.
